EXAMPLE 10: Nu04-16a BULLET: Elazar was MANAGER of the Kehatites EXAMPLE 11: Nu04-16b BULLET: Elazar MANAGED the daily offerings EXAMPLE 12: Nu04-16c BULLET: Elazar has 2 tassk BACKGROUND ---------- When you type in English you can use a variety of TYPING EFFECTS such as - indentation - paragraphing - bold, italics, underline - bullets - tables These techniques were not DIRECTLY available to the Biblical Author. However they were used in the Bible.One of Rashis 6 main tasks was to indicate how the Bible implemented TYPING EFFECTS. We show one example in this background section and then present different examples every day. THE TEXT-Gn26-12 ---------------- And Isaac sowed and produced in - THAT land - THAT year 100 fold. THE RULE --------- The Bible indicates BULLETS by using REPEATING KEYWORDS. The effect of these BULLETS is to place emphasis on EACH item. The examples will clarify THE RASHI --------- The verse places an emphasis on BOTH the LAND and the YEAR. This indicates that there were 2 aspects to the miracle -- it was a bad year for growth(eg a famine year) but Isaac sowed 100 fold -- it was a bad land for growth(eg other lands like Israel had more fertile land), but nevertheless Isaac sowed 100 fold THE LIST:TODAYS EXAMPLE Nu04-16 -------------------------------- The verse, Nu04-16 with its bulleted structure is depicted below For clarity the verse is repeated a second time with an asterisk * to show how it would look in modern notation | ||
| PHRASE1 | REPEATED KEYWORD | ITEM EMPHASIZED |
| Elazars | APPOINTMENT*2 | Candellabrah oil |
| The Daily Ketoreth | ||
| The Daily Minchah | ||
| The annointing oil | ||
| AN APPOINTMENT | of the Temple*1 | |
| & all that is in it | ||
| ------------ | ---------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Elazars | ||
| APPOINTMENT | * | Candellabrah oil |
| The Daily Ketoreth | ||
| The Daily Minchah | ||
| The annointing oil | ||
| * | of the Temple | |
| & all that is in it | ||
| COMMENTS | ||
*1 Nu03-27:32 explicitly states that
-----------------------------------------------------
Elazar was appointed manager of the Kehatites whose
task was disassembling the Holy objects in the temple
-----------------------------------------------------
Thus when Nu04-16 states that ELAZAR OVERSAW THE TEMPLE
AND ALL THAT IS IN IT it refers to his APPOINTMENT
as MANAGER OF THE KEHATITES
*2 The Repeated Keyword [AN APPOINTMENT] functions as
BULLETS and clearly shows that Elazar had TWO MAIN TASKS
-- Overseeing the Kehatites
-- being in charge of the Daily offerings (making sure
they were offered)
(Without the asterisks I might have coalesced the entire
verse into one task: eg ELAZAR MANAGED THE
KEHATITES WHO DEALT WITH THE HOLY UTENSILS
WHICH WERE CONNECTED WITH THE DAILY OFFERINGS)
