----------------- HOT ITEMS ----------------------------- HAPPY PASSOVER: Please visit http://www.Rashiyomi.com/pa.htm ---------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL LONGER ISSUE TODAY: OVERVIEW ALL SACRIFICES EXAMPLES: Lv07-03a Lv07-03b --------------------------------------- TODAYS RASHI RULE: DOUBLE PARSHAS TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: DOUBLE PARSHAS --------------------------------------- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE ----------------------------------------- The rule of DOUBLE PARSHAS simply means that SEVERAL Biblical paragraphs deal with the SAME theme. By comparing both the similarities and differences in these paragraphs we are able to discover new patterns and make inferences. We emphasize that the resulting inference is NOT justified because of the 1 or 2 extra words but rather because of the overall dynamic force of the multiple paragraph comparison. This is clearly illustrated in the example below STANDARD EXAMPLE ---------------- The following example comes from the Passover Hagaddah. The Passover Hagaddah gathers 4 paragraphs dealing with education. Comparison of these introductory phrases enables us to label the types of sons in these chapters. ------------------------------------------------- VERSE TYPE OF SON TEXT OF VERSE ------- ----------- ----------------------------- Ex13-14 SIMPLE SON When your son ASKS a QUESTION Dt06-20 WISE SON When your son ASKS a QUESTION Ex12-26 WICKED SON When your son SAYS a QUESTION Ex13-08 CANT ASK ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- For example Ex12-26 speaks about SAYING A QUESTION vs ASKING A QUESTION. This suggests that this son is CYNICAL and WICKED. Similarly Ex13-08 describes an ANSWER WITHOUT A QUESTION. This suggests that this son CANT ASK or is APATHETIC. Notice how it is the comparison that justifies these conclusions. Without the comparison I would not know that it is peculiar for the Bible to state an answer without a question. This illustrates the Rashi method of DOUBLE PARSHAS. STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE --------------------------------- http://www.Rashiyomi.com/by-rule.htm Scroll down to view the DOUBLE PARSHAS examples. We plan to eventually update this with one compact page. TODAYS EXAMPLE -------------- In todays example we compare about a dozen paragraphs all dealing with OFFERINGS. Some of these offerings mention offering the FAT OF ANIMALS while some do not. Some of these FAT OFFERINGS involve the ALYAH FAT while some do not. The LIST clearly suggests the laws and patterns that are applicable. | |||

*1 The paragraph in question shows that depending on economic
level the offering is brought from either
- sheep
- goat
- birds
- flour
Hence the fat offerings (Which dont apply to birds or
flour are mentioned in Lv07-01:10) (Rashi on Lv07-01a,b)
*2 This offering comes from a Ram as is explained in Nu05-08
*3 Notice how the offerings in chapter 6 recap the offerings
in chapters 1 and 2. Thus
UP OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv01 and Lv06
PLEASANT OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv02 and Lv06
PEACE OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv03 and Lv07
SIN OFFERINGS are mentioned in Lv04 and Lv06
*4 Reviewing the list Rashi explains 3 things(Lv07-01a,b)
- PEACE, SIN and GUILT offerings all offer KIDNEY FAT,....
- Only SHEEP peace and sin offerings offer ALYAH FAT
Hence GUILT offerings (which mostly come from sheep)
offer ALYAH fat
- The KIDNEY FAT is mentioned in Lv03,Lv04 for PEACE/SIN
The KIDNEY FAT is mentioned in Lv06 for GUILT
Rashi explains that
--- The Bible had to list the KIDNEY FAT for GUILT
at least once.
--- Also (it would appear to me) that the KIDNEY FAT
for GUILT could not have been mentioned in Lv05 in the
first statement of offerings since there were four possible
animals for GUILT OFFERINGS (Sheep,goats,birds,flour).
Hence the Bible mentioned it here
