SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
A major Rashi method is the ALIGNMENT method. The
ALIGNMENT rule makes inferences from the alignment of
almost identical verses or phrases. When the inferences
are NUANCES that are implied by the minor differences
in the aligned verses we say that Rashi is using the
subrule of NUANCES.

EXAMPLE Lv05-09a BIRD OFFERING: UP vs SIN OFFERING
--------------------------------------------------
VERSE    Lv01-15                  Lv05-08:09
OFFERING UP                       SIN
Near     Bring near to altar      Bring it
Kill     Rip his head             Rip head opposite neck
Fire     Offer to altar
Blood                             Sprinkle blood*1
Blood    Squeeze blood on altar*1 Rest of blood Squeeze*1

So the sin offering had 2 blood procedure while
the UP offering only had one blood procedure
(Sprinkle and Squeeze blood vs squeeze blood)

EXAMPLE Lv05-17a SIN vs GUILT offering
---------------------------------------
Lv05-17a             Lv04-22
SIN                  GUILT
...                  ...
and he does          and he does
one                  one
of                   of
Gods                 God his Lords#1
commandments         commandments
that are             that are
not done[a don't]    not done[a don't]
and he doesnt know   inadvertently#2
and is guilty        and is guilty

Rashi comments on difference #2
- a sin offering is brought on INADVERTENT sin
- a guilt offering is brought on DOUBT of sin

For example if I ate on Yom Kippur inadvertently
and forgot it was Yom Kippur I bring a sin offering.
We call such a sin INADVERTENT

If I fasted one day and ate one day and am not
sure if I fasted on YOM KIPPUR or the day before
then I bring a guilt offering. Scripture calls
such a sin A SIN ---HE DOESN'T KNOW .
