RASHIS COVERED: Lv16-19b Lv16-19c Lv16-18b Lv16-23d We present 4 examples of ALIGNMENT today. The method used---aligning 2 verses and inferring nuances from the differences should therefore be transparent. | |||
| VERSE | PHRASE1 | PHRASE2 | PHRASE3 |
| Lv16-23d | He shall undress | &leave the clothes | & dress in others |
| Lv16-04 | He shall undress | ------------------ | & dress in others |
| Differs | *1 | *2 | *1 |
| COMMENTS | |||
*1 These phrases are the same *2 This phrase is extra. It therefore implies an emphasis. The Yom Kippur clothes HAD to be left (in the Temple). They were hidden away. These Yom Kippur clothes could not be re-used on next years Yom Kippur | |||
|
| |||
We continue the examples of ALIGNMENTS that teach nuances The examples below deal with SANCTIFICATION procedures. In only one of them is the phrase PURIFY & SANCTIFY used. In all others it states SANCTIFY without the word PURIFY. Hence Rashi felt justified in extracting nuances from PURIFY | |||
| VERSE | TOPIC | PHRASE1 | PHRASE2 |
| Nu06-11 | Nazarite Offering | ------------- | He will sanctify |
| Ex19-10 | Sinai:Receive Trh | ------------- | They will sanctify |
| Ex28-41 | Priest consecration | ------------- | Sanctify them |
| Ex29-27 | PEACE Offering | ------------- | Sanctify it |
| Lv16-19c | Yom Kippur | PURIFY it and | Sanctify it |
| Differ | *1 | *2 | |
| COMMENTS | |||
*1 Only on Yom Kippur is there a mention of PURIFICATION and SANCTIFICATION. Because of this difference Rashi seeks some special extra nuance in PURIFY and SANCTIFY. Rashi suggests - PURIFY it from PAST sins - SANCTIFY it for FUTURE use Perhaps Rashi obtained this idea from Nu08-05:22 which discusses the Levite Preparation procedure and has a dual notion of PURIFICATION and SANCTIFICATION *2 These phrases are all the same--they speak about some type of sanctification | |||
|
| ||
We continue the examples of ALIGNMENT that teach nuances. Technically the following example may better be classified as teaching MULTIPLE COMPONENTS. These two verses deal with the blood of the YOM KIPPUR OFFERING | ||
| VERSE | PHRASE1 | PHRASE2 |
| Ex30-10 | the Yom Kippur sin offering blood | is placed on altar |
| Lv16-18b | Take from goat blood & ox blood | & place on altar |
| Differ | *1 | *2 |
| COMMENTS | ||
*1 - One verse calls it THE BLOOD OF YOM KIPPUR SIN OFFERING
- Another verse however speaks about BLOOD OF GOAT & BLOOD
of OX.
In other words one verse speaks about A SINGLE UNIT OF BLOOD
while the other verse speaks about TWO UNITS OF BLOOD (GOAT
and OX--they were both offered as a sin offering).
Rashis conclusion is that the BLOOD OF THE TWO ANIMALS --
GOAT and OX -- WERE MIXED TOGETHER thereby forming ONE
UNIT OF SIN OFFERING BLOOD.
Again: This inference arises BECAUSE of the alignment.
The inference is explicitly mentioned in the Sifrah and
echoed by the Sifsay Chachamim.
*2 Both verses speak about placing the blood on the altar
horns of the Golden altar (We shortened the verse in the
table for facilitate reading the table).
