      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.
      Dt10-19a

      Brief Summary: Don't these others [tease them for being aliens] the way others have teased you [you were tease while being aliens in Egypt].

Verse Dt10-19a discussing the requirement to treat aliens with dignity and love states Love ye therefore the alien; for ye were alien in the land of Egypt.

Rashi explains the causal relationship between the two verse clauses by Filling in with obvious real world background Don't tease someone else about a blemish that you yourself have (that is, that you were Egyptian Aliens) In other words Since you personally experienced the anguish you should know better than to cause similar anguish to others.

Sermonic Point: Here the sermonic point is the driving force of the Rashi. We should always learn from our own personal experiences and thereby become more sensitive to others!
