VERSE: Gn42-03a
Gn42-03a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis main methods is the skillful use of
ALIGNMENT to illustrate nuances. The minor differences
between TWO ALIGNED verses powerfully suggests explicit
concepts. We call this the RASHI RULE of ALIGNMENT.

When the ALIGNMENT method is used to infer NUANCES we
speak about the NUANCE SUBRULE of the ALIGNMENT method.

EXAMPLE: Gn42-03a
-----------------
Several Biblical texts state as follows
--------------------------------------
Gn42-03a Joes     brothers came down
Gn42-05  Jacobs   sons     came for food
Gn42-06  Joes     brothers came and bowed
Differs  *1       *2       *3
--------------------------------------

Rashi (slightly paraphrased) states
-------------------------------------------
Notice how the text calls them JOE's
brothers vs JACOBS sons. The deliberate
shifts within a few verses places emphasis
and shows us that they regarded Joeseph as
their brother---that they repented from the
attempt to kill him

List of verses with appelation JACOBS SONS vs JOES BROTHERS
VERSE PHRASE#1 PHRASE#2 PHRASE#3
Gn42-03a Joes brothers came down
Gn42-05 Jacobs sons came for food
Gn42-06 Joes brothers came and bowed
Differs *1 *2 *3
COMMENTS
*1 The Biblical text alternately calls them
- Joes brothers
- Jacobs son
The double appellation is to emphasize that they
were once again JOSEPHS BROTHERS (That is they
repented of wanting to kill him)*10

*2 Of courses the 10 people were
- brothers to Joseph
- sons of Jacob

*3 Three activities are mentioned. The activities
have nothing to do with Joe vs Jacob.

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 Rashi is NOT deriving this from the fact that
---------------------------------------------
Genealogy is usually by parent not by sibling;
---------------------------------------------
Rather Rashi derives this from the deliberate
alternation of genealogies as evidenced by
the alignment.
