RASHI COVERED: Dt01-19a AWESOME desert = with SNAKES/SCORPIONS

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Dt01-19a AND YOU JOURNEY THRU THIS GREAT AND AWESOME DESERT
Rashi explains the phrase GREAT AND AWESOME DESERT. Surprisingly
this phrase only occurs 2 other times in the Bible. In Dt08-15
it gives more detail: GREAT & AWESOME DESERT WITH SNAKES ..
SCORPIONS. Hence I infer that GREAT & AWESOME DESERT means a
desert with SNAKES & SCORPIONS.

We can perceive this derivation as using EITHER the method of
OTHER VERSES or the METHOD OF ALIGNMENT--both justify inferring
meaning.

TODAYS RASHI RULE:     OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:  INFERRING MEANING
----------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi
is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE

One usage of other verses is when an enigmatic word
occurs in several verses. If just one of these verses
contains more detail then we can infer the meaning of
this enigmatic word (This rule is also one of the 13
Rabbi Ishmael Style rules which states that
------------------------------------------------------
If one verse stands out from a collection of verses
then it doesnt just stand out for itself but for
the whole group of verses; This justifies transference
of meaning to the other verses

COMMENT:
--------
Note: That this method is almost the same as the use
of the ALIGNMENT method to discover meaning (The
difference being that ALIGNMENT applies even in the
same verse while the OTHER VERSE method applies to
2 distant verses)
