One of Rashis 10 major methods is the explanation of apparently CONTRADICTORY verses. We call this the CONTRADICTION method. Rashi had 3 methods to resolve CONTRADICTORY BIBLICAL TEXTS - the two texts reflect 2 STAGES of 1 process - the two texts reflect 2 ASPECTS of 1 state - the two texts use BROAD-LITERAL interpretation EXAMPLE 1: Dt31-29a ------------------- Dt31-29 states ------------------------------------------- For I(Moses) know that AFTER MY DEATH you will behave destructively and depart from the path that God commanded ------------------------------------------- Jo24-31 states ------------------------------------------ The Jewish people served God all the days of the Joshua and the elders who knew Gods Strong Hand ------------------------------------------ So - one verse says the Jews observed Gods laws after Moses death - the other verse says the Jews will break the Law after death Rashi resolves the contradiction by broadly interpreting a person to mean BOTH him and his SCHOOL of followers. In other words Rashi interprets Dt31-29a as follows ---------------------------------------------------- - For I know that - After I AND MY DISCIPILES DIE - you will behave destructively - and depart from the path that God commanded ---------------------------------------------------- Thus Rashi resolves this CONTRADICTION using the BROAD-LITERAL method. LIST520a gives examples of CONTRADICTIONS resolved thru BROAD LITERAL | ||

*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) *3 Thus the request to kill the Jews is seen as a WISH (BROAD interpretation)not as something real *4 That Bilam didnt know what his donkey knew is interpreted literally. That he claimed to know Gods thoughts is considered a LIE(Broad, non- literal interpretation). | |||

*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 | |||
