VERY BRIEF SUMMARY ------------------ One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain Grammar the same way modern textbooks do. One class of grammar rules deal with style--eg how paragraphs should be organized. Rashi knew 4 methods of connecting consecutive paragraphs - CAUSE - ENABLEMENT - CONTRAST - UNIFYING THEME EXAMPLE 1 Lv10-02a ------------------- -Lv10-01:07 deals with the death of Aarons sons -Lv10-08:11 prohibits serving-priests from wine Rashi sees these two chapters as connected by CAUSE---a priest who serves while drinking wine will end up violating Gods will and be subject to a death penalty EXAMPLE 2 Lv10-02a ------------------ Similarly for the 2 clauses in Lv10-01:02 - Aarons sons offered a non-commanded fire - Aarons sons died by fire from heaven Rashi sees these two chapters as connected by CAUSE---a priest who offers non-allowed sacrifices will get the death penalty at the hands of heaven *1 EXAMPLE 3 Lv10-03d ------------------ Lv10-03d states that the - Death of Righteous LEADS TO - Fear of God by masses Rashi explains the causal connection--the masses assume that if God punishes even the righteous this way how much more so will he punish ordinary people | ||

*1 Rashi cites 2 opinions about the death of Aarons children - it was caused by wine - it was caused by non-allowed sacrifices My own opinion is that Rashi was not stating contrasting but rather complementary opinions That is - the sons of Aaron drank wine - and they got drunk - and they said it was ok to offer non-allowed sacrifices And this lead to their death at the hands of heaven. This approach---looking at 2 opinions as complementary vs conflicting is fundamental to proper study of Rashi | ||

The following list contains consecutive chapters related by cause(Either the 1st chapter causes the 2nd chapter or the 2nd chapter causes the 1st chapter) For further examples see the CP (Consecutive chapter) series at http://www.RashiYomi.com/calendar1.htm The Consecutive Chapter series was given in July 2000 | |||

*1 Thus "whoever see the humiliating Adulterous wife rite" will be so shocked that he will abstain from wine Similarly "Judah advised his brothers to sell Joseph" and so when they regretted it they blaimed him and he had to "separate from them." Similarly "Sarah died" from the shock that "Abraham offered Isaac." *2 In other words because the snake saw Adam and Eve naked therefore he became Jealous and wanted Adam killed so he could marry Eve. ALthough this sounds a bit wild there is strong supporting evidence. Gn04-01 uses the past perfect form And Adam HAD BEEN FAMILIAR with his wife & they had a child" So the sequence of chapters is Adam was lonely" God makes Eve" Adam and Eve are naked" ------------------------"Snake tempts Eve" Adam has a child with Eve" Thus the sequence of chapters (Naked--->child) is clearly interrupted by the Snake story. *3 As explained above Rashi sees these two views as complementary - First they drank wine and got drunk - While drunk they thought it permissable to offer sacrifices which should not be offered Hence they died for both crimes *4 Rashi explains the Causal connection - when the masses see that God EVEN kills the righteous for sins - then they are aware how they must also observe Gods commandments - This leads to more honor for God | |||
