THE GENERAL-SPECIFIC STYLE


RASHIS COVERED: Ex39-32a Ex39-33a

BACKGROUND
----------
Ex39 describes the construction of the temple. At the end
of the chapter it states

THE VERSE--Ex39-32
------------------
GENERAL CLAUSE: And the Temple work was completed [BECAUSE]
SPECIFIC CLAUSE: The Jews did all Temple work God commanded

THE RASHI
---------
The above verse uses a GENERAL-SPECIFIC method
The Bible states GENERALLY that

------------------------------
THE TEMPLE WORK WAS COMPLETED
------------------------------

and then ADDS the SPECIFIC REASON WHY:
-------------------------------------
BECAUSE THE JEWS DID AS GOD COMMANDED
--------------------------------------


THE LIST
--------
The LIST below gives other examples of this GENERAL-SPECIFIC
form. Notice how all these Rashis seem obvious.
VERSE GENERAL STATEMENT METHOD & CAUSE
Gn09-11a I-ll fulfill my CONVENANT BY using a RAINBOW SYMBO
Nu03-06a The Levites will SERVE Aaron BY WATCHing the Temple
Nu05-12d She DESECRATES her marriage BY SLEEPING with a man
Dt02-04a Jews; WATCH yourself by Esauv Dont START UP with him
Dt06-06a LOVE your Lord God BY LEARNING Torah
Ex39-32a Temple work was COMPLETED*10 SINCE Jews DID AS TOLD
COMMENTS
------------------ LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------------

*10 We use this opportunity to explain a really wild Rashi

       Ex39-33a (Rashi): God told Moses to erect the temple.
       Moses asked: But it is to heavy to erect. God responded:
       You do what you are obligated and I will do the rest.
       So Moses grabbed the (heavy) wooden pillars and they
       ERECTED BY THEMSELVES.

    First we take note of the verse we are discussing

       The Temple was completed BECAUSE
       the Jews did as God said


    Next we emphasize that this was a theme throughout
    the construction of the temple. Almost every
    chapter ends with this refrain
    ------------------------------------------------
    The JEWS DID AS GOD COMMANDED MOSES
    -----------------------------------------------
    Eg See Ex39-01 Ex39-43 Ex40-19 Ex40-23 Ex40-25
    Ex40-27 Ex40-29

    Finally we show contrasts on Projects where the Jews
    did not do as God commanded

    -------------------------------------------------------
    TOPIC      VERSE        BREACH OF GODS LAWS
    ---------- ------------ -------------------------------
    Midyan War Nu31-15      The Jews let the women live
    Israel     Nu39-06      Gadites dont want Israel
    Israel     Nu14-04      Spies recommend against Israel
    -------------------------------------------------------

    Now we understand Rashis real meaning. Since the Jews
    did as ordered therefore the Temple erection went
    smoothly (eg if the boards hadnt been cut properly
    they wouldnt remain standing or they wouldnt fit).
