VERSE: Lv05-08a

=========================== Lv05-08a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
An advanced Rashi method is the use of symbolism to explain
Biblical chapters. The general guidelines for symbolic
interpretation are compactly presented in my essay GENESIS
ONE SPEAKS ABOUT THE CREATION OF PROPHECY NOT THE CREATION
OF THE WORLD which may be found at URL
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gen-1.htm We call this the Rashi
method of SYMBOLISM / symbolism.

As pointed out in the above essay, Rav Hirsch emphasized
that one cannot whimsically apply symbolic methods. Rather
the Biblical text must demand or require the use of symbolism.

EXAMPLE Lv05-08a
----------------
The Biblical text at Lv05-08a states
----------------------------------------------------
...the sinner shall bring a SIN OFFERING and UP OFFERING
...and he shall offer the SIN OFFERING FIRST
----------------------------------------------------

Rashi paraphrased comments
-----------------------------------------------------
To what can this be compared. To a person who owes
someone money and also wants to do him a favor.
The proper procedure is to
- first pay what he owes
- and then do the favor
Similarly in the person-God relationship
- first a person brings a sin offering
- then they express their desire to go UP and do more
-----------------------------------------------------

List of                  Symbolism of the 5 main sacrifice types
===========================================================================
OFFERING TYPE    VERSES  BROUGHT IF A PERSON....
================ ======= ==================================================
UP OFFERING      -*1---- Didnt do positive commandments (Do-s)
SIN OFFERING     Lv04-02 violated a major negative commandment(don-t)*2
GUILT OFFERING   Lv05-15 violated a major negative in God-man relation
PEACE OFFERING   -*1---- wishes to express general happiness
THANKSGIVING     -*1---- wishes to give specific thanks on being delivered

NOTES
-----
*1 The symbolic meaning of certain offerings---THANKS, PEACE, UP---
   is clear from their name. e.g. The THANKS offering comes when a
   person wishes to give a Thank-You on being saved. The UP offering
   comes when a person wishes to go UP to God--that is, do more
   positive commandments

*2 Hence the symbolism that a SIN OFFERING IS OFFERED FIRST PRIOR
   TO AN UP OFFERING (Lv05-08a).
