VERSE: Gn12-01e
Gn12-01e
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to clarify matters of style
In doing this Rashi uses the Rabbi Ishmael style rules.
According to the methods developed in Rashi-is-Simple these
style rules govern whether a verse is interpreted BROADLY
or LITERALLY

EXAMPLE
-------
GENERAL:----- Leave your LAND
DETAIL:------ Leave your FATHERS HOUSE

RASHI
-----
The main command was not one of travelling but
rather of deserting the idolatrous ways of Abrahams
father. As such Abraham had to leave his country which
practiced idol worship--he also had to go far enough
so that there was no idolatry (For only in such an
environment could Abraham preach about a one God)

EXPLANATION
-----------
The GENERAL-DETAIL form indicates a RESTRICTIVE style--the
emphasis is on the details. Hence Rashi emphasizes that
Abrahams goal was to leave idolatry.

General detail form of Gn12-01
GEN-DETAIL Text of VERSE Could mean
GENERAL Leave your LAND Travel
GENERAL Leave your BIRTHPLACE Travel
DETAIL Leave your FATHERS HOUSEHOLD Idolatry*1
COMMENTS
 
*1 So the emphasis was that Abraham should leave
his fathers ways and hence Abraham had to go
far enough away from his country till idolatry
was not a dominant religion/belief
