COMMENTS |
*1 Rashi simply cites the last verse in Ps90
which is one of the few Psalms Moses wrote.
>May the pleasantness of God our Lord be on us...<
EITHER this is the actual blessing mentioned in Ex39-43
OR, it is conceivable that Rashi meant this as
an EXAMPLE of What Moses blessing COULD have been like
*6 This is a MULTI-CROSS REFERENCE. Here are the details
in 3 stages
STAGE 1: AYDUTH REFERS TO THE 10 COMMANDMENTS IN THE ARK
Ex25-16b states that AYDUTH is placed in the temple ARK
Ex34-29 states that the AYDUTH are the 10 commandments
Ex38-21c states that the Temple was the TEmple for AYDUTH
Ex30-26 states that the incense was BEFORE The AYDUTH
Ex27-21 states that the Paroceth covered the AYDUTH
Thus the picture is clear. God gave Moses the 10 commandments
on 2 stones called AYDUTH These 2 stones were
placed in the Ark which was placed in the Holy of Holies.
The 10 commandments was the MAIN FOCUS of the TEMPLE since
it summarized the TORAH.
Hence the term TEMPLE FOR AYDUTH (Ex38-21).
The KETORETH was offered on the Golden Altar that was
before the HOLY OF HOLIES where the ark resided. Similary
the PAROCETH covered the entrance to the HOLY of HOLIES
where the AYDUTH--the 10 commandments resided.
STAGE 2: OTHER SUPPORTING VERSES TO THE ABOVE IDEAS
There are many other verses supporting these ideas
-------------------------------------------------------------
ARK HAD TABLETS see Ex25-16b Ex31-07a Ex25-22 Ex26-33 Ex26-34
AYDUTH=TABLETS WITH 10 COMMANDMENTS:Ex31-18 Ex32-15 Ex34-29
-------------------------------------------------------------
STAGE 3: RASHI EXPLAINS THE ETYMOLOGY OF AYDUTH
Finally Rashi explains the etymology of AYDUTH on Ex38-21c:
AYDUTH comes from the root Yud-Ayin-Dalet which means
TO MEET and refers to the fact that God MEETs Man (thru
prophecy) in the Temple
