Jam and jam and jam
Hello Rabbi,
As is known, there is a dispute between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Abimelech over whether they demand the Torah in general and particulars or in plurals and minorities.
My question is about the RA method, which requires plural and minor. In the case of a plural of a minor and a plural, where the last plural includes everything (like the first plural), why wasn’t only the first plural written?
As in “a little” and “a lot,” where “multiplication” multiplies everything, why wasn’t only the plural written?
(One could also ask, according to Rabbi Yishmael’s view of the general and the particular, in whose view the particular is an interpretation of the general, why the general was written and not just the particular. But for Rabbi Yishmael, the Torah spoke in the language of humans, so it’s not too difficult.)
thanks,
given
Even for the RA, one thing is always reduced. That is, not everything is increased. Note that this is the case in all issues.
The first scholars have already established this in general and in particular, and wrote that it comes with the exception that a parent building is not made from the particular to the other contexts.
Few and many cannot be multiplied without writing what is being multiplied. There is no instance in the Torah that is only a multiplication.
