SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashi's 10 major methods is the use of OTHER VERSES to clarify existing verses. Rashi can use OTHER VERSES to a) provide more details b) justify citations and cross references and c) to infer meaning. We call this the RASHI METHOD of OTHER VERSES and the RASHI SUBMETHODS of FURTHER DETAILS, CITATIONS, and INFERRED MEANING. EXAMPLE Dt29-11b ---------------- Dt29-11 states --------------------------------- ...[you are standing here] to PASS INTO THE TREATY with God --------------------------------- Rashi explains the unusual phrase PASS INTO THE TREATY with God by citing an OTHER VERSE. Jr34-18 states -------------------------------------- the people who violated my treaty ...the calf that was cut in two ...THEY PASSED THRU ITS CUTS -------------------------------------- Based on this OTHER VERSE Rashi explains ---------------------------------------- In olden times TREATYS were made by cutting an animal in half; each of the two parties would then PASS THRU BETWEEN THE TWO CUT HALVES; [they would then eat the animal to cement the treaty] ----------------------------------------- EXAMPLE 2: Dt29-25b ------------------- Dt29-25 states -------------------------------- They went and worshipped other gods ...gods NOT APPORTIONED TO THEM -------------------------------- Although Rashi does not cite an OTHER VERSE it seems natural to cite Dt04-19 which also uses the word APPORTION and also speaks about idolatry ------------------------------------- Lest you look heavenward ...and go astray and worship other gods WHICH GOD APPORTIONED TO THE OTHER NATIONS... ------------------------------------- We see from this other verse that the word APPORTIONED is used here in the sense of ASSIGNED. Hence the Rashi --------------------------------------- The phrase in Dt29-25 NOT APPORTIONED TO THEM means GOD DID NOT CREATE THESE FOR ASSIGNMENT --------------------------------------- Rashi also cites other interpretations but the above interpretation based on an OTHER VERSE seems most natural. LIST250a below gives other examples of inferring meaning from OTHER VERSES. | ||

*1 Ex13-20 Jews journeyed from Succoth after Exodus Ex12-27 Exodus: Jews go from Raamsayth to Succoth Nu33-05 Exodus, Then Raamsayth, THen Succoth The point is that Nu33-05 makes it clear that there were 3 places - Exodus FROM Egypt - TO Raamsayth - TO Succoth. Ex13-20 only mentions 2 of the places Ex12-27 makes it sound like they left EGYPT, ie they left RAAMSAYTH. It is in fact common for places to have multiple names. So Nu33-05 illumines that there were 3 distinct places *2 Also see Ex30-11:16 which prohibits DIRECTLY counting people. Instead, we must count the COINS of each person and from this infer the total count. *3 Nu17-05 further illumines by calling it a MEMORIAL Thus we have SYMBOL MEMORIAL BANNER. Since NAYS means BANNER it refers to anything that ATTRACTS attention such as SYMBOLS or MIRACLES *4 In this example the Hebrew word TaMid can mean either CONTINUAL or CONTINUOUS depending on context. *5 Rashi extends the meaning of GIFT TO THE DEAD to all BURIAL RELATED MATTERS such as provision of shrouds and the coffin *6 Rashi notes that Gn15-17 speaks about --------------------------------------------------- The FIRE PILLAR that TRANSITED thru the cut animals --------------------------------------------------- Since FIRE is symbolic of PROPHETIC ENCOUNTER we infer that GOD symbolically TRANSITED the cut animals to affirm the CONVENANT He made with Abraham *7 In the case of sale of estate the inheritance "leaves the family." To STAND the inheritance is to INHERIT the property so that the property STANDS (that is, remains) in the family. [In passing Rashi seems to derive certain laws from the word TOGETHER...when brothers live TOGETHER...however I believe that all the derivations come from the nuances of STAND) *8 Jr34-18 speaks about treaty makers ---------------------------------------- CUTTING AN ANIMAL AND PASSING THRU THE CUTS ---------------------------------------- Rashi explains that those who wished to make a treaty would - cut an animal in half - place the two halves down - the two parties to the treaty would - walk inbetween the two halves - [and then eat the animal to cement the treaty] Hence the IDIOM: PASS INTO TREATY. | ||||

*10 Rashi also on this verse cites 5-6 verses to show that the Hebrew root Nun-Vuv-Aleph means to RATTLE However the phrase RATTLE THE VOW still needs clarification which is done by comparing it to Nu30-09--RATTLE VOW and ANNUL it. Since the major part of the derivation is from the OTHER VERSE we omit this supplemental list of verses. |
