GOALS
=====
This module studies the ALIGNMENT method in Rashi. In this
method 2 different verses are found to be ALMOST the same.
The verses are lined up and the minor differences between
them function as footnotes illuminating the text.


TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we compare 11 verses that mention the
phrase FINGER OF THE LIVER in the sacrifices. Yet
this simple phrase occurs in 3 forms!!!!

ALL UNITS IN THIS SERIES WILL BE POSTED IN HTML FORMAT
TO PRESERVE ALIGNMENT. Please read the HTML version if
you dont have FIXED WIDTH FONTS.


REFERENCE:
=========
Todays unit comes from the following posting

ALIGNMENT OF 11 VERSES MENTIONING LIVER FINGER


EXAMPLE 2: Lv08-16a FINGER of/from/on THE LIVER
EXAMPLE 3: Ex29-13b FINGER of/from/on THE LIVER


In 11 verses, the Torah requests that the
----------------------------------------------------------
Finger of the liver of a sacrifice be offered on the altar
----------------------------------------------------------

However 3 different phrases are used to describe the FINGER OF
THE LIVER. The list BELOW with footnotes explains how these
3 verses combine to indicate various laws

COMMENTS

*1 We now further clarify the differences.
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 The word FROM implies AT LEAST take the protrusion FROM liver
 The word OF implies dont take MORE than the protrusion
 The word ON implies I should take a tiny little bit of liver
 ------------------------------------------------------------

   A side picture might clarify In this picture we
   --represent the FINGER by SINGLE DASHED LINES----
   --represent the LIVER by DOUBLE DASHED LINES====
   --represent the CONNECTION by a circle o

   I have marked the positions of the finger and liver
   by x,y,z.The law states that we take all the X and the Y but
   not the Z.

   -----------------------------------------------------------
   ---The X correspond to what comes FROM the liver
   ---the Z corresponds to taking OF the liver but not WITH it
   ---the Y corresponds to taking what is ON the liver
   -----------------------------------------------------------

   In the main posting all 11 verses with the phrase
   FINGER OF THE LIVER are indicated
