SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
The BULLET method could perhaps better be called the
PARAGRAPH METHOD. The BULLET method seeks to make
inferences from PARAGRAPH structure or from PARALLEL
structure (A good example of paragraph structure is
a bulleted structure). We present several examples
below.

EXAMPLE 1: Bulleting of Biblical paragraph Lv06-17:23
---------------------------------------------------
Lv06-18 Where SIN OFFERING is SLAUGHTERED
Lv06-19 WHO eats it
Lv06-19 WHERE it is eaten
Lv06-20 Consequences of touching
Lv06-21 WHO eats it
Lv06-22 EXCEPTIONS: Sin offerings not eaten

Lv16-20 states
- - -  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
ALL that touch it will become HOLY
blood sprinkled on a garment-the sprinkled part is immersed
- - -  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Rashi comments
----------------------------------------------------
The phrase
- - -  - - - - - -
ALL that touch it
- - -  - - - - - -

refers to
-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
all FOODS that touch it
-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
[Here Rashi follows the rule of
BULLETS or CONTEXT--the Bible is
talking about EATING and hence Lv16-21
speaks about FOOD touching it]

Similarly the phrase
- - -  - - - - - -  -  -  -  - -  - -  - -
all foods that touch it shall become HOLY
- - -  - - - - - - - - -  -  -  - -  -  -
is also interpreted by CONTEXT.

The word IT in the verse refers to the SIN OFFERING

The word HOLY in the verse means HOLY/INVALID like
the SIN OFFERING.

Hence we interpret Lv16-20 as follows

- - -  - - - - - - - - -  -  -  - -  -  - - - - -
The food touching the SIN OFFERING
shall become HOLY LIKE THE SIN OFFERING
[if the SIN OFFERING is then invalid/good
then the touching meat becomes invalid/good;]
- - -  - - - - - - - - -  -  -  - -  -  - - - - -

EXAMPLE 2: Bulleting of Biblical Paragraph Lv07-16:21
---------------------------------------------------
An almost identical CONTEXT interpretation applies
to the Biblical paragraph Lv07-16:21 which speaks
the PEACE OFFERING.


Lv07-16 WHEN you can eat PEACE OFFERING
Lv07-17 AFTER TIME PERIOD burn food
Lv07-18 AFTER TIME PERIOD not allowed to eat
Lv07-19 CONSEQUENCES of eating
Lv07-20 PURITY requirement for eating
Lv07-21 PURITY requirement for eating

Lv07-19 states
-----------------------------------------
And MEAT which touches any impure
shall not be eaten
-----------------------------------------

Rashi comments based on context
-----------------------------------------
And PEACE OFFERING meat which touches any impure
shall not be eaten
-----------------------------------------

Compare carefully the RASHI text with the
Biblical text. All Rashi does is replace
the word MEAT with the phrase PEACE OFFERING
MEAT. And the reason that Rashi does this
is because of the CONTEXT--the paragraph structure
is speaking about PEACE OFFERINGS.

EXAMPLE 3: Bulleted structure of Lv07-11:14
-------------------------------------------
The Bulleted structure of Lv07-11:14 reveals
the following

Lv07-11 Laws of PEACE OFFERINGS
Lv07-12 SubLaws of THANKSGIVING
Lv07-12 - Matzah Loaves MIXED with oil
Lv07-12 - Wafer LOAVES ANNOINTED with oil
Lv07-12 - Loaves ROASTED in oil
Lv07-13 - In addition to BREAD loaves
Lv07-14 Offer a TERUMAH(RAISING) to God to Priest offering

Rashi comments
-------------------------------------------------
As the bullets show there are 4 sets
of LOAVES offering with the Thanksgiving offering
