VERSE: Lv06-22a

RASHIS COVERED: Lv06-22a Lv07-07b Lv07-19c

======================== Lv06-22a ==============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals was the resolution of contradiction
We call this the RASHI RULE OF CONTRADICTION.

Rashi had a variety of methods to resolve contradiction. Very
often the CONTRADICTION could be resolved by interpreting the
contradictory verses BROADLY thereby avoiding the contradiction.

EXAMPLE Lv07-19c vs Dt12-27
---------------------------
We have two verses discussing which non priests
eat from PEACE OFFERINGs

- Dt12-27 states
-------------------------------------------------
[After] The blood of your sacrifice is spilled
on the altar then YOU may eat the meat
-------------------------------------------------

- Lv07-19c states
--------------------------------------------------
And the meat of the peace offering: All pure
people may eat of the meat
--------------------------------------------------

This creates a contradiction since
- Dt01-27 implies that only the OWNER may eat it(YOU eat it)
- Lv07-19c implies that ANY PURE PERSON can eat it.

We avoid this contradiction by interpreting Dt12-27 BROADLY
--------------------------------------------------------
[After] The blood of your sacrifice is spilled
on the altar then
YOU AND ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS
may eat the meat
-------------------------------------------------


EXAMPLE - Lv06-22a vs Lv06-19
-----------------------------
In speaking about who may eat of the sin offering
- Lv06-19 states
----------------------------------------
The PRIEST offering the sin offering
will eat it
----------------------------------------

- Lv06-22a states
----------------------------------------
All MALE PRIESTS may eat it
----------------------------------------

These verses appear contradictory. To avoid
this contradiction we interpret Lv06-19 BROADLY
---------------------------------------------
The PRIEST WHO COULD OFFER the sin offering
can eat it
---------------------------------------------

In other words we interpret the phrase
- THE OFFERING PRIEST WILL EAT IT
to be a paradigmatic example---any priest
who is pure enough to offer it may eat it.

This interpretation of OFFERING PRIEST
as PRIEST WHO COULD POTENTITALLY OFFER
is also echoed in Rashi on Lv07-07b.

======== ======= ============================================
Lv07-19c Dt01-27 All PURE PEOPLE whom the owner DESIGNATESeat
Lv06-22a Lv06-19 All MALE PRIESTS who COULD OFFER may eat*2
Ex21-06  Lv25-10 Slave works FOREVER = Till 50th Jubilee year

Lv04-03  Lv04-03 A Young ADULT Bullock = BEGINNING ADULTHOOD
Lv10-02  Lv10-05 Died from FIRE=SPIRITUAL FIRE*1

NOTES
-----
*1 Hence the fire did not burn their clothes
   The idea that the FIRES mentioned in Dt05
   or Ex20 was the FIRE OF PROPHECY vs REAL
   FIRE is supported by many verses and
   themes (Dt05-21). There are other Biblical
   supports for this idea but this will suffice
   for now.*10

*2 Also echoed in Rashi Lv07-07b (OFFERING PRIEST
   means PRIESTS WHO COULD OFFER)

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------
*10 It does not detract from the greatness of the
    miracle of revelation that the FIRE means FIRE
    OF PROPHECY.

    For Judaism does not view Gods greatness in His
    ability to make a mountain smoke with Fire.

    Rather Judaism views Gods greatness in His
    ability to make people burn with Spiritual Prophecy
