TODAYS RASHI RULE:    RABBI ISHMAEL STYLE RULES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: NON-SPECIFIC-FOCUSED
------------------------------------------------


BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE AND SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
One of Rashis main goals is to describe
Biblical STYLES and their consequences. A
very great scholar, Rabbi Ishmael the high
priest, identified 3 general Biblical style requirements
-- Styles requiring GENERALIZATION
-- Styles requiring LITERAL meaning
-- Styles requiring BROAD(but not totally GENERAL) meaning

Today we deal with Biblical styles requiring LITERAL
meaning without generalization.

SUPPOSE a Biblical sentence
-- uses a vague non-specific word
-- and follows that word by a specific description

THEN the verse should be read as dealing with that
specific situation. The standard example clarifies

STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
Nu05-12d
-------------------------------------------------
If a women DESCECRATES her marriage (by)
SLEEPING with a man

THEN you perform this ceremony on her
-------------------------------------------------

EXERCISE
--------
To appreciate the style the student is invited to
-- give examples why DESCECRATE is a vague non focused concept
-- why SLEEPING with a man is a FOCUSED PARTICULAR example


SOLUTION
--------
There are many ways a woman can descecrate her marriage.
For example, she can INSULT her husband, she can REFUSE
TO COOK for him, she can FLIRT with other men, she can
commit ADULTERY.

Thus the word DESCECRATE is vague and non-focused.

By contrast, the word SLEEP WITH is focused and specific
It isolated one method of marriage descecration.

TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
Today we examine Lv16-18:19. The Bible
-- 1st states that: The priest will ATONE
-- then it states: the following blood sprinklings atone
We interpret this using a GENERAL-SPECIFIC style.
The word ATONE is vague and non-specific. It means different
things in different contexts. For an UP offering it means
THROWING BLOOD UPWARD. For a SIN offering it means placing
blood on the horns.

Thus Lv16-18:19 identifies HOW atonement is achieved.
ATONEMENT IS ACHIEVED IN THE YOM KIPPUR OFFERING BY
(a) MIXING THE BLOODS (b) PLACING THEM ON THE ALTAR
HORNS (c) SPRINKLING (7 Times).
