SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently comments by making broad database queries and noting patterns. EXAMPLE ------- Each OFFERING had many component procedures. For example the animal had to be SLAUGHTERED; its blood had to be GATHERED; it had to be OFFERED on the altar fire. As the verses list these COMPONENT PROCEDURES sometimes they just use the word HE (e.g. HE WILL SLAUGHTER IT) and sometimes they use the word PRIEST (e.g. THE PRIEST RECEIVES THE BLOOD). We can study these SUBJECT distributions to find out for which acts the PRIESTS are required. We find that PRIESTS are required for dealing with - receipt and throwing of blood in OFFERINGS - the FISTFUL in the Minchah offering But NON PRIESTS can do acts like - slaughtering This inference -- justified by a database query on sentence SUBJECTS is further justified by an explict OTHER VERSE -- Nu18-07 -- which explicitly states that only priests are involved in ALTAR RELATED PROCEDURES. | ||

*1 The interpretation of this list should be clear The 4 columns represent 4 offerings. Each column lists the procedures of that offering. A (P) is placed on the procedures where a verse REQUIRES Priests. For example if you read Lv01-01:09 you find a description of the UP offering. The verses speak about BRINGING ANIMALS, LEANING ON THEM, SLAUGHTERING THEM etc The Biblical text continues THE PRIESTS BRING THE BLOOD. Thus we infer that prior to bringing the blood PRIESTS need not do the act. *2 The word PRIEST as SUBJECT is only mentioned EXPLICITLY here. Hence we infer that Priests are REQUIRED for the BLOOD procedures but the previous procedures such as SLAUGHTERING can be done by a non priest.*10 | ||||

*10 The Sifrah brings further supportive proof for the REQUIREMENT of priest performance from an OTHER VERSE ---------------------------------------------------------- Nu18-07 And you (Aaron) and your sons (Priests) Must Guard your priesthood(only priests can do it) - on all ALTAR commandments - on matters inside the Paroceth(Holy of HOlies) And (only) you will do these services ---------------------------------------------------------- Thus the objects -- blood and minchah fistfuls -- brought to the altar must be received and carried by Priests. These two derivations -- OTHER VERSES and DATABASE INQUIRY ON EXPLICIT SUBJECTS -- complement each other. Indeed although the SUBJECT priest is not mentioned prior to the BLOOD procedures nevertheless there is ERRATIC mention of it afterwards. Hence the OTHER VERSE supports the thesis. | ||||
