SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently comments by making broad database queries and noting patterns. EXAMPLE-Lv16-04 ------------------------- We make a query of the clothing worn by Priests We find that - Priests sometimes wore 4 apparel: PANTS, SHIRT, BELT, TURBAN - Priests (High Priest) sometimes wore 8 apparel: PANTS,SHIRT,BELT,TURBAN, COAT,VEST,BREASTPLATE,TIARA Mostly 4-apparel was worn by the ORDINARY priests. However when a ceremony emphasized humility the High priest would wear the 4 apparel also. | ||

*1 The 8 apparel of the High priest are - Pants - Shirt - Vest - BreastPlaste - Suit Jacket - Belt - Turban - Tiara The 4 apparel of the Ordinary Priest are - Pants - Shirt - Belt - Turban *2 Rashi deals with the anomaly that the Yom Kippur Sin offering is - offered by the High priest - who however wears the 4 clothes of the ordinary priest Rashi explains the Yom Kippur sin offering atones on improper relations/entries to the Temple---Hence the High priest should wear ORDINARY clothes to emphasize that he is ORDINARY with no special privileges*10 | ||||

*10 Rashis literal language is as follows ---------------------------------------- Aaron sinned with the GOLDEN calf Hence it would be improper for him to wear the 8 garments (which contain GOLD) when seeking atonement on commandments of holiness ---------------------------------------- We however think the proper approach when reading a Rashi such as the above is to -- seek broad deep meaning, rather than -- seek superficial coincidences In this case the underlying deep meaning is that -- the sin offering atones on sins against holiness/improper entry and hence the atonement procedure should emphasize humility (ORDINARY PRIEST CLOTHES) vs HIGH PRIEST CLOTHES -- the superficial coincidence is that Aaron created a Gold calf which corresponded to a sin of improper approach to God...hence it would be improper for him to wear the Gold garments when atoning for improper entry. In summary: we believe that the coincidence that Rashi cites should be seen as reflecting a deeper more comprehensive theme (that is: emphasize humility when atoning on sins of arrogance--hence the ORDINARY PRIEST CLOTHES vs the HIGH PRIESTS clothes). | ||||
