    3. RASHI METHOD: GRAMMAR
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: Rashi explains verses using grammar principles, that is, rules which relate reproducable word form to word meaning. Grammatical rules neatly fall into 3 categories
    • (a) the rules governing conjugation of individual words,Biblical roots,
    • (b) the rules governing collections of words,clauses, sentences
    • (c) miscellaneous grammatical, or form-meaning, rules.
    This examples applies to Rashis Nu01-04a

    Brief Summary: Nu01-02:04 is a MULTI VERSE sentence: You and Tribal elders (Nu01-04) count (Nu01-02) all 20+ year olds (Nu01-03).

About two dozen Rashis focus on the multi-verse sentence, That is, one sentence that spans several verses. Nu01-02:04 is a multi-verse sentence and states as follows Take you the count of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male, by their polls; from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: ye shall number them by their hosts, even thou and Aaron. And with you there shall be a man of every tribe, every one head of his fathers' house. By focusing on the underlined words we see the simple sentence summary: You, and with you, the tribal elders, count, the 20+ year olds, eligible for military service.
