SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi sometimes comments on the OVERALL STRUCTURE of a paragraph. That is each word and sentence may be understood but the paragraph as a whole still needs clarification EXAMPLE - Paragraph Dt26-04:11 ------- - THE BAD THINGS: Laban and Egypt - THE GOOD THINGS: God took us out - FURTHER GOOD THINGS: God gave us Temple and Land - CONCLUSION: We can now rejoice All Rashi did was present the above outline - Rashi Dt26-04c points out how LABAN and EGYPT are two bad themes - Rashi Dt26-09a and Dt26-09b points out how TEMPLE and Israel are two further stages in the Exodus | ||

*1 Conceptually LABAN and EGYPT are 2 equal points of development. But the LABAN theme took up 3 words while the EGYPTIAN theme took up about 2 dozen words Hence Rashi had to point out that they were 2 equal themes *2 Rashi (Dt26-09a Dt26-09b) interprets the phrase -------------------------- God brought us to THIS PLACE -------------------------- as referring to the TEMPLE This derivation does NOT come from the words. Indeed the words could refer to coming to Israel Rather the derivation comes from OVERALL PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE which REQUIRES a DEVELOPMENTAL atmosphere Hence the proper understanding of Rashi requires amending his explanation to include all steps - Exodus - Temple=Holiness=No impurity=leaving Egypt - Israel - Food Blessing | |||
