VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain grammar
the same way Hebrew grammar books explain grammar.

One function of grammar is to provide special words
which create nuances of emphasis. Words like ALSO,
ONLY, BUT, EXCEPT etc.

One such word is IT. A typical Hebrew sentence would
read IT WILL BE HOLY TO YOU (Nu18-09). However several
verses use the alternative construct IT IS HOLY.

Although this construction IT occurs in several verses
the Talmud universally interprets IT as ONLY IT.

The list below gives several examples. We hope
eventually to gather all examples in one place

EXAMPLE
-------
IT IS A GUILT OFFERING (RASHI: But if it got
exchanged with another animal then that exchanged
animal does not acquire the GUILT OFFERING STATUS)

Hence RASHI interprets IT as meaning ONLY IT

EXAMPLE
-------
ONLY MALES CAN EAT IT...IT IS HOLY
RASHI: ONLY IT is holy but the comparable
offerings of the NAZARITE RAM or the
THANKSGIVING OFFERING do not have HOLY status.

(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


In the following verses the keyword IT means ONLY IT
This emphasis can eg mean that
- the law ONLY APPLIES to this offering but not to
similar offerings or

- the laws mentioned in the chapter are essential
That is ALL the procedures must be done and then
ONLY IT (when all the procedures are done) enable
the sacrifice to achieve its status.

- All procedures in the chapter must be perceived
as parts that contribute to an entire process
(eg A sin offering must have done to it all
procedures in the sin offering chapter and these
procedures must be perceived as making the sin
offering- if they are done in isolation we dont
have a sin offering)

We hope to eventually have all IT Rashis in this list
VERSE Text of verse with ONLY IT ONLY IT excludes
Lv07-01a ONLY It is a guilt offering An exchanged animal*1
Lv07-06a ONLY IT is holy holies Nazarite offering *2
-------- ---------------------------- ---------------------
Lv02-06b ONLY IT is a Minchah Procedurs essential*3
Lv04-24b ONLY it is a SIN OFFERING Procedurs essential*4
Lv05-09b ONLY it is a sin offering Procedurs essential*4
Lv05-12b ONLY it is a sin offering Procedurs essential*4
Lv06-02c ONLY it is an UP offering Procedurs essential*5
COMMENTS
 
*1 So if a guilt offering animal got mixed up in a pen
with other animals that eg were designated as
thanksgiving offerings then you dont have the right
to offer SOME animal as a guilt offering--specificity
of animal is a requirement

*2 The verse says that the GUILT OFFERING is eaten by
males because ONLY IT is holy of holies. This ONLY
IT excludes SIMILAR OFFERINGS (like the Nazarite
Ram which resembles the GUILT offering in allowed
TIME of consumption but nevertheless does not
have a HOLY OF HOLY status)

*3 All procedures mentioned in the paragraph are essential
For example POURING OIL is essential to the Minchah

*4 All procedures mentioned in the paragraph are essential
All procedures in the chapter must be perceived
as parts that contribute to an entire process
(eg A sin offering must have done to it all
procedures in the sin offering chapter and these
procedures must be perceived as making the sin
offering- if they are done in isolation we dont
have a sin offering)


*5 ONLY IT IS AN UP OFFERING teaches us that only valid
UP offerings may have their organs lie on the altar.
(An invalid UP offering may not have its organs lie
on the altar)
