EXAMPLE Lv12-02c: Childbirth impurity like Menstruant Impurity EXAMPLE Lv14-13b: Sin offerings are LIKE Guilt offerings EXAMPLE Lv14-13c: Sin offerings are LIKE Guilt offerings --------------------------------------- TODAYS RASHI RULE: OTHER VERSES TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: PROCEDURES --------------------------------------- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE ----------------------------------------- The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE One way of doing this is when you describe a procedure. For example, you might say DO THIS PROCEDURE THE SAME WAY I TOLD YOU TO DO SUCH AND SUCH The simple meaning of such a statement is that a CROSS REFERENCE is being made. Rashis goal is to tell the student about this cross reference and show him where it is. The Talmuds goal is slightly different. We not only want to find out where the cross reference is, but we want to find out how far to go. How SIMILAR are the two procedures. Although the Talmuds goal is important, nevertheless Rashis goal is also important. It is important to realize that the Bible is equating and cross referencing two procedures. STANDARD EXAMPLE ---------------- EXERCISE: --------- Lv04-29 states SLAUGHER THE SIN OFFERING WHERE THE UP OFFERING IS SLAUGHTERED This is a clear CROSS REFERENCE. Can you find where the UP OFFERING IS SLAUGHTERED(HINT: Lv01 discusses the UP Offering). RASHIS SOLUTION --------------- Lv01-11 explicitly states that the UP sacrifice is offered in the NORTH. STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE --------------------------------- http://www.Rashiyomi.com/other-20.htm TODAYS EXAMPLE -------------- Several examples are presented in the list below. In particular - The ritual impurity of childbirth is EQUATED to the ritual impurity of the menstruant - The GUILT offering is EQUATED to the SIN offering in both PRIESTLY and NON-PRIESTLY procedures. The most useful exercise for the student is to attempt to list HOW these items are similar | |||
| VERSE | DISCUSSES | SIMILAR TO | IN VERSE |
| Lv12-02c | Impurity of childbirth | Menstruant Impurity | Lv15-19*1 |
| Lv14-13b | Guilt offering slaugtr | Sin offering | Lv04 |
| Lv14-13c | Guilt offering acts | Sin offering acts | Lv04 |

*1 Lv15 discusses several types of menstruant impurity depending on how long or normal the flow was Rashi makes a further insightful point: The ACT of CHILDBIRTH confers ritual impurity independent of whether there is bleeding(Menstrual impurity is caused by BLEEDING) *2 An alignment of Lv14-13 sheds further light ------------------------------------------------------------ PHRASE1 PHRASE2 -------------------------------- -------------------------- Slaugher of guilt offering is like the UP offering Guilt & sin offerings are the same for priests ------------------------------------------------------------ The first row speaks about slaughter which can even be done by a layman. This slaughter takes place in north (just like the sin offering). The second row speaks about non-layman (priest) activities. Thus the two rows together tell us that SIN and GUILT offerings are the same whether in their LAYMAN or PRIESTLY activities. Further details are found in the main posting. In particular guilt and sin offerings resemble each other with respect to - which ORGANS are offered - how BLOOD is thrown. | |||
