SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to indicate paragraph
structure. One method of demonstrating paragraph
structure is to use the DETAIL-THEME style. Another
method is to CLIMATICALLY build up a theme.

EXAMPLE Lv26-03a
----------------
If you
- LEARN (Literally WALK in my statutes)
- SAFEGUARD (literally WATCH my commandments)
- PERFORM (literally DO)

Thus the Torah sketches the PERFORMANCE Hierarchy
- 1st LEARN, then SAFEGUARD and finally PERFORM.

Note: Rashi is NOT asserting that WALK means LEARN
and that WATCH means SAFEGUARD. Rather BECAUSE the
verse uses three identical phrases Rashi feels
justified in using this THREENESS to indicate a
HIERARCHY(even if the individual words by themselves
dont indicate it). That is, the CLIMAX has intrinsic
interpretive value. This is an important aspect of
CLIMAX--it creates new meaning by ASSUMING climax.
