    4. RASHI METHOD: ALIGNMENT
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: Aligning two almost identically worded verselets can suggest
    • (4a) 2 cases of the same incident or law
    • (4b) emphasis on the nuances of a case
    • (4c) use of broad vs literal usage of words
     This examples applies to Rashis Gn47-18b
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1320.htm
    Brief Summary: a) The money is GONE b) and [Gone is] the cattle c) [Gone FROM us] TO you.

    The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets in Gn47-18b Both verses/verselets discuss the economic helplessness of the Egyptian people who had sold all their possessions for food. The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
      The two verse halves share their verbs. That is
    • a) The money is gone and
    • b) The cattle are gone.
    • b') The cattle [has gone from us] to you my Lord
    • c') The money [has gone from us] to you my Lord
