SUCCINCT SUMMARY: ----------------- Rashi frequently makes inferences by conducting broad database queries and noting patterns EXAMPLE: QUERY: When does the word STAND occur in LAWS ------------------------------------------------------ ANSWER: The word STAND occurs in 8 laws - in 2 of them Rashi states it denotes a requirement of standing (Yibum ceremony and Witness testimony) - 2 of them are connected with the Temple and it stands to reason that standing is Biblically required in the Temple (Levite service, Suspected adulteress, ) - One occurrence is connected with the BLESSINGS/CURSES delivered when the jews entered Israel-- since these were done in public ceremony and opposite mountains it seems reasonable that it was done standing - One occurrence occurs in connection with receipt of prophetic orders. I bring strong Talmudic support that receipt of prophetic orders must be done standing The word STAND occurs in two laws meaning to ABSTAIN - ABSTAIN(STAND) outside: Let the debtor give you payment vs you going in to his house - Dont ABSTAIN (Stand idly by) at the BLOOD OF YOUR BROTHER (when his life is in danger) We have here an example of how Rashi comments generalize and transfer to similar situations. | ||

*1 Stand can equally mean - AFFIRM (stand vs sit--get up and affirm) - WAIT/STOP (stand vs walk!) Thus Lv19-16b means DONT ABSTAIN WHEN YOUR BROTHERS LIFE IS IN DANGER Similarly Dt24-11 means YOU ABSTAIN OUTSIDE (Stand but dont walk in) and HE(the debtor) will give the money *2 See--Dt17-12 Dt18-05 Dt18-07--this is not explicitly stated in Rashi but I think the inference obvious that Levites did not sit in the Temple while working since the Temple required respect. Indeed if witnesses had to stand how much more the Levites. Thus I believe that this STANDING is a Biblical requirement. In passing we can infer from the description of the suspected adulteress ceremony mentioned in the Talmud that the woman stood but there is no explicit statement of this requirement Again the idea that standing in the Temple is a requirement of respect makes "sense" *3 Again: It is not explicitly stated in sources that one must stand for receipt of prophetic messages. But we have the following supportive Rabbinic texts - Up to the time of Rabbi Gamliel people would STAND While learning (Learning was never done sitting) - The Talmudic sages highly praise Eglon for STANDING to hear the prophetic message given to him (Ju03-20) | |||
