    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 Ex13-09c

    Brief Summary: a) RIGHTEOUS Egyptians sunk like lead - died immediately b) WICKED Egyptians died like stubble - died gradually.

The table below presents an aligned extract of verses in Ex15-05b:10, Ex15-07 Both verses discuss the death of the Egyptians. The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that a) The righteous Egyptians died like a stone or lead weight sinking; They died immediately. b) However, the wicked Egyptians died like stubble bobbing up and down; they did not die immediately but had a slow death with ups and downs.

Verse Text of Verse Rashi comment
Ex15-05,10 The depths have covered them; they sank to the bottom as a stone. ...sinking like lead in turbulent waters a) The righteous Egyptians died like a stone or lead weight sinking; They died immediately. However
Ex15-07 And in the greatness of your excellency you have overthrown those that rose up against you; you sent forth your anger, which consumed them as stubble. b) ... the wicked Egyptians died like stubble bobbing up and down; they did not die immediately but had a slow death with ups and downs.
