9. RASHI METHOD: NonVerse BRIEF EXPLANATION: The common denominator of the 3 submethods of the NonVerse method is that inferences are made from non textual material. The 3 submethods are as follows: Spreadsheet: Rashi makes inferences of a numerical nature that can be summarized in a traditional spreadsheet Geometric: Rashi clarifies a Biblical text using descriptions of geometric diagrams Fill-ins: Rashi supplies either real-world background material or indicates real-world inferences from a verse. The emphasis here is on the real-world, non-textual nature of the material. This examples applies to Rashis Lv16-24d URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1608.htm Brief Summary: The Priest GOES OUT, FROM the veil TO the courtyard altar.

Verse Lv16-14:24d, describing the Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) service states And he shall take of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the veil eastward; and before the veil shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. ... and he will come out, and offer his elevation offering, and the elevation offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, ...

Rashi diagramatically explains the phrase come out. The veil is inside the Temple proper while the elevation offering is offered on the copper altar which is outside the Temple proper, in the courtyard. Hence the verse states he will come out The diagram below clarifies this Rashi.
