SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- A powerful but simple Rashi method is the CITATION or CROSS- REFERENCING of an OTHER VERSE for the purpose of adding FURTHER DETAILS to a verse we are studying. We call this the Rashi METHOD of OTHER VERSES and the Rashi submethod of FURTHER DETAILS EXAMPLE Nu02-02c ---------------- Nu02-02 states ----------------------------------- Each Jew shall camp on his flag The shall camp OPPOSITE and surrounding the Temple ------------------------------------ Rashi clarifies the phrase OPPOSITE using an OTHER VERSE, Jo03-04 ----------------------------------- There will be a DISTANCE between you[the Jews] and it[The ark] ABOUT 2000 CUBITS ----------------------------------- Hence Rashi clarifies that OPPOSITE in Nu02-02c means a 2000 cubit distance. EXAMPLE Nu01-51b ---------------- Nu01-50:51 states ----------------------------------------- Now appoint the Levites on the Temple ...they will bear the Temple... when the Temple moves the Levites will dis-assemble it, and when the Temple camps, the Levites will erect it, AND THE STRANGER THAT COMES NEAR WILL DIE ----------------------------------------- The phrase ---------------------------------------- AND THE STRANGER THAT COMES NEAR WILL DIE ---------------------------------------- is clarified by Nu18-01:08 ---------------------------------------- The Levites ....will serve you.... The Levites will watch your watch and the watch of the Temple:Nevertheless they will not come near to the altar and temple vessels and THEY WILL NOT DIE, THEY AND YOU and they will work with you and watch the watch of the Temple in all Temple service and a STRANGER WILL NOT COME NEAR And you [the Priests] will watch the watch of the Temple and the watch of the Altar and there will not be more anger on the Jews ...the Levites are given as a gift to you...to serve the Temple ...but you[The priests] shall watch your Priesthood on all altar matters and behind the veal and serve...AND THE STRANGER WHO COMES NEAR SHALL DIE --------------------------------------- Nu18-01:08 clarifies - a prohibition and death penalty for Levites doing Priestly altar work - a prohibition and death penalty for Strangers[Israelites] doing Priestly work - a prohibition but no death penalty for Strangers[Israelites] doing Levite work Rashi therefore clarifies the phrase A STRANGER THAT COMES NEAR SHALL DIE in Nu01-51 as referring to Israelites doing Levite work[More broadly it refers to any Stranger--Levite or Israelite-- doing any work they are not responsible for [Israelites doing Levite work or Priest work and Levites doing Priest work] EXAMPLE Nu01-02b ---------------- Nu01-02 says that ---------------------------------- Jews camped by their SYMBOLIC FLAG ---------------------------------- Rashi clarifies the term SYMBOLIC FLAG by a cross reference to an OTHER VERSE --------------------------------------- Gn50-13 And Jacobs children did to him; INDEED, as He had commanded them --------------------------------------- In posting -------------------------------------- http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gn50-13a.htm -------------------------------------- we have explained the emphasis indicated by the word INDEED. There we have shown that - the ORDER OF JACOBS sons in his blessings and - the ORDER OF JACOBS sons in their encampment are almost identical From this identicality we inferred that Jacob ordered the order--children who got along with each other camped together while children who did not get along together camped separately. Rashi therefore clarifies Nu01-02 by the OTHER VERSE Gn50-13--the Jews camped according to the SYMBOLIC configuration their Father ordered them. Rashi further elaborates that SYMBOL also refers to the TRIBES SYMBOLS of the 12 stones in the Priest breastplate, Ex28-17:20. Each TRIBE FLAG had the SAME SYMBOLIC COLOR that their STONE ON THE PRIEST BREASTPLATE had. LIST210y presents many examples of verses illumined by other verses | ||

*1 We ASKED you to go but didnt HARASS you till you went *2 The point being that the city wasnt named for the symbolic use of SEVEN (SHIVAH) lambs to seal the treaty(BUt rather the SEVEN lambs symbolically affirm the OATH=SHEVA for which the city was named) *3 Gn27-27b refers to a BLESSED FRAGRANT FIELD while Lv23-40 refers to a TREE OF SPLENDOR.*10 *4 Reuven did not actually sleep with Bilhah. Rather his fathers favorite bedware was kept on Bilhah's bed since Bilhah, Rachels concubine, reminded him of her after Rachels death. Reuven felt that his father should be living with Leah, since Leah was a bonafide wife. Reuven felt it insulting that Jacob preferred a concubine vs a real wife. Hence he switched the bedware from Bilhahs bed to Leahs bed in order to talk his father out of his behavior For our translation of Gn49-04 see footnote *12 *5 Gn45-05 also supports this. *6 Rashis real point is to avoid confusion The phrase WORDS OF LAW usually refers to Gods words of law, the Torah. However in Ex18-19c and Ex18-16 it refers to the LAWSUITS of the people. *7 In LIST901i we have shown that the root Pay-Resh-Kuph means - UNLOAD (in active mode) - YANK OFF (in intense mode - SLIP OFF (in intensive mode) Since the verse is translated as ------------------------------------------ Aaron asked them to YANK the Jewelery off their wives ------------------------------------------ Rashi comes to the conclusion that Aaron was interested in a fight (YANK off wives) and was stalling for time. Rashi learns this from the word YANK. This OTHER VERSE motivates Rashi to reinterpret several verses as also indicating stalling tactics. More specifically Rashi explains the following as stalling tactics - Aaron built an altar---RASHI: To stall for time - Aaron said: A holiday TOMORROW--RASHI: To stall for time - Aaron said: A holiday to GOD--RASHI: He was hoping Moses would return and they would have a real holiday to God. *8 It was Malbim's genious to bring an extra OTHER VERSE - Ex09-31 shows BARLEY ripens first in EARLY SPRING - Ex34-22 shows WHEAT ripens in LATE Spring. Malbim/Rashi applies this distinction to Lv23 - Lv23-10 describes the FIRST BARLEY brought on Passover - Lv23-17 describes the FIRST WHEAT brought on Pentecost --------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------- *10 Rashi uses the languages ------------------------------- this refers to an APPLE orchard ------------------------------- But apple orchards are not known for their fragrance. Rather the reference is probably to an -------------- ETHROG orchard -------------- which has a characteristic hypnotic fragrance. The Hebrew word for ETHROG is GOLDEN APPLE.(The beauty of fragrance of an ETHROG ORCHARD was mentioned by the Rav, Rabbi Soloveitchick). *11 Rashi citing the Talmud states ------------------------------------------------------- Jacob came whole - from LIMP - from Monetary gifts to Esauv(Jacob had all his money) - with all his learning ------------------------------------------------------- But there 3 items all emanate from Gn32-32 where we are told that Jacob fought with an angel and won. Since he won - he did not lose money - he did not lose his Jewishness *12 Gn49-04 is translated by us as ------------------------------------- you played with your fathers beds ------------------------------------- Note the PLURAL BEDS vs BED...this shows that two BEDS (not the one bed of BILHAH) was involved We translate the Hebrew root &LH (to go up) as &LL (To play with). - THere are no other cases where &LH means &LL - but interchanges of 1-2-Hey and 1-2-2 roots does frequently occur in the Bible - Finally the verse wouldnt make sense if &LH was translated as GO UP since the phrase ------------------------- Go Up on your fathers bed ------------------------- couldnt refer to intimacy since intimacy is always referred to as GOING DOWN instead of GOING UP. *13 Rashi gives several interpretations of the phrase ------------------------- seed your seed for nought ------------------------- The approach in this email group is to consider the terminal explanation to be the true explanation Note that this terminal explanation, parents losing children is consistent with the context of the verse which speaks about death of people *14 See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/gn50-13a.htm for full explanation. |
