MOSES CITES VERSES |
VERSE: Ex32-27a Ex22-19 cross references Ex32-27.
VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Moses in Ex32-27a states
-Moses stood in the corner of the camp and stated: Whoever
-belongs to God come to me and all the Levites gathered.
-And Moses said: THUS SAYS GOD..go thru the camp from gate
-to gate and kill (those who worshipped the Golden calf
The phrase THUS SAYS GOD cross-references ex22-19b
-Those who offer to other gods should be put to death
Rashi simply points out this cross reference.
---------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE: OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE: CITATION
---------------------------------------
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
The Bible in several dozen places QUOTES. Thus a verse might
say SUCH AND SUCH WILL HAPPEN AS IT SAYS. The phrase AS IT
SAYS refers to a CITATION from another verse.
Rashis job is to find this other verse and show how the
Bible is citing it.
STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
Dt26-18:19 states
-God will make you a precious nation today AS HE SAID
-..and make you a leading nation and a holy nation AS HE SAID
EXERCISE:
---------
Before reading Rashi
-- can you find a verse where God promises to make us PRECIOUS
-- can you find a verse where God promises to make us HOLY
RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Rashi cites Ex19-05:06
-If you (The Jews) listen to Me and watch my convenant
-... then you will become a PRECIOUS NATION to Me
-... and you will become to me a HOLY nation
Thus the Bible is cross-referencing itself.
COMMENT:If you found this verse by yourself then you produced
2 Rashi comments, just like Rashi. This should inspire you
that with proper study you can become a Torah Scholar LIKE RASHI

COMMENTS |
*1 Rashi expands. Nu14-20 I,GOD,FORGIVE AS YOU,MOSES,REQUESTED
refers to the WHOLE prayer of Moses in Nu14-13:19. In
particular God forgave the Jews FOR THE REASON that Moses
mentions: Namely, If God were to kill the Jews then the
nations would NOT recognize this destruction as a Divine
punishment but rather as inadequacy of God against the
Canaanite nations (See Nu14-16). Therefore God would not
accomplish his goals of MAKING AN EXAMPLE OF THEM. Because
this example would not be accomplished God forgave the
Jews since nothing good would be accomplished by
punishing them.
