CROSS REFERENCES IN MISHKAN |
BACKGROUND
----------
One of the 6 main Rashi methods is the method of CROSS REFERENCE.
In this method Rashi clarifies the meaning of one verse by
citing OTHER verses. We have outlined 6 major methods by which
Rashi uses the technique of CROSS REFERENCE
REFERENCES
----------
The 6 Rashi rules: http://www.RashiYomi.com/rules-01.htm
OTHER VERSES: http://www.Rashiyomi.com/other-20.htm
THE TEXT
--------
- Ex25 thru Ex28 discusses the command to Make the temple
- Lv24-05:09 provides supplementary material on the temple TABLE
- Nu04 talks about disassembling the temple (for Journeys) and
hence casts indirect light on the temple construction
THE RASHI
---------
The Rashis provide FURTHER DETAILS on the table utensils from
OTHER VERSES. The use of OTHER VERSES to provide FURTHER DETAILS
is 1 major use of OTHER VERSES. Further examples may be
found at the references above. In the references we solve
an unsolved problem left to us by Rashi. This is exciting
THE LIST
--------
The LIST contains the Rashis, the CROSS REFERENCES &
the further details. The footnotes provide further
details on Talmudic controversies on these verses

COMMENTS |
*2 Lv24 advises us that the SPOONS was used to hold
the INCENSE. So by analogy the BOWLS were probably
used to HOLD the BREAD itself.
*3 On Ex25-30a Rashi states
------------------------------------------------------
The production of the bread is discussed in Lv24-05:09
------------------------------------------------------
On Nu04-07a Rashi states
------------------------------------------------------
I have already explained what these 4 table utensils
mean in Ex25
------------------------------------------------------
Thus in both instances Rashi cross references.
