RASHIS COVERED: Lv20-02b Dt13-16a Dt15-08b Dt16-20a
                Ex12-09c Lv20-02b

=========================== Lv20-02b ====================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Every language has a variety of means to indicate
emphasis. In modern English we could indicate emphasis
by using BOLD, ITALICS etc. In Hebrew one method of
indicating emphasis is by REPEATING WORDS.

EXAMPLE
-------
Lv20-02b (in the original Hebrew) speaks about
EXECUTE EXECUTE (repeated word). The exact text is
THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND WILL EXECUTE EXECUTE.

This emphasis is further illuminated by Dt17-06:07
which explains that in a court conviction FIRST
the witnesses must execute the convicted and
afterwards (if he has not yet died) the PEOPLE
execute. Thus the emphasis in THE PEOPLE...WILL
EXECUTE EXECUTE indicates EXECUTE IN ANY EVENT...whether
by witnesses or by the people
