SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- An advanced Rashi method is the use of symbolism to explain Biblical chapters. The general guidelines for symbolic interpretation are compactly presented in my essay GENESIS ONE SPEAKS ABOUT THE CREATION OF PROPHECY NOT THE CREATION OF THE WORLD which may be found at URL http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gen-1.htm We call this the Rashi method of SYMBOLISM / symbolism. As pointed out in the above essay, Rav Hirsch emphasized that one cannot whimsically apply symbolic methods. Rather the Biblical text must demand or require the use of symbolism. EXAMPLE Lv05-08a ---------------- The Biblical text at Lv05-08a states ---------------------------------------------------- ...the sinner shall bring a SIN OFFERING and UP OFFERING ...and he shall offer the SIN OFFERING FIRST ---------------------------------------------------- Rashi paraphrased comments ----------------------------------------------------- To what can this be compared. To a person who owes someone money and also wants to do him a favor. The proper procedure is to - first pay what he owes - and then do the favor Similarly in the person-God relationship - first a person brings a sin offering - then they express their desire to go UP and do more ----------------------------------------------------- LIST975n below summarizes the symbolism | ||

List of Symbolism of the 5 main sacrifice types | |||
| OFFERING TYPE | VERSES | BROUGHT IF A PERSON.... | |
| UP OFFERING | -*1---- | Didnt do positive commandments (Do-s) | |
| SIN OFFERING | Lv04-02 | violated a major negative commandment(don-t)*2 | |
| GUILT OFFERING | Lv05-15 | violated a major negative in God-man relation | |
| PEACE OFFERING | -*1---- | wishes to express general happiness | |
| THANKSGIVING | -*1---- | wishes to give specific thanks on being delivered | |
|
|

*1 The symbolic meaning of certain offerings---THANKS, PEACE, UP--- is clear from their name. e.g. The THANKS offering comes when a person wishes to give a Thank-You on being saved. The UP offering comes when a person wishes to go UP to God--that is, do more positive commandments *2 Hence the symbolism that a SIN OFFERING IS OFFERED FIRST PRIOR TO AN UP OFFERING (Lv05-08a).
