BACKGROUND
----------
One of the most powerful of Rashi methods is the method of
CROSS REFERENCE. The reason this method is powerful is because
people frequently seek to find a Rashi reason in the VERSE they
are studying without realizing that the simple reason for Rashi
lies in an other explicit verse.
THE 6 METHODS
-------------
We have outlined 6 methods of using OTHER VERSES
- DIRECT CITATIONS (as it says...)
- Cross referencing procedures(do this like that)
- Adding details #1): a FEW Jews came to Egypt;#2:70 Jews came)
- Contradictory verses: (2 verses say different things)
- Several Multiple proofs
- Explaining a word meaning
THE TEXT We align Lv04-26 and Lv04-31
--------
Lv04-26 GOAT SIN OFFERING fat is like fat peace offer
Lv04-31 SHEEP SIN OFFERING fat is like fat of SHEEP peace offer
THE RASHI
---------
Notice how Lv04-31 emphasizes the animal (SHEEP) while
Lv04-26 does not. Rashi therefore explains that Lv04-26
which discusses the GOAT SIN OFFERING is like the GOAT PEACE
OFFERING while Lv04-31 which discusses the SHEEP GOAT
OFFERING is like the SHEEP PEACE OFFERING.
As can be seen from the LISTs below in SHEEP OFFERINGS we
offer the ALYAH fat while in GOAT OFFERINGS we do not.
Otherwise the 2 fat offerings (GOAT/SHEEP) are the same.
THE LIST
--------
The list below indicates the exact law and cross reference
Further details and a 2nd important list are presented in the
footnotes

This is further clarified by the following list of offered
fat objects
-------------------------------------
PEACE OFFERINGS
Compared to sin offerings in Lv04-26,31,35
----------------------------------
Lv03-09 SHEEP Lv03-14 GOAT
from SHEEP from GOAT
----------------- ---------------
Alyah Fat ??
Intestinal Fat Intestinal Fat
Kidneys and fat Kidneys & Fat
Finger of liver finger of liver
-------------------------------------
So now the point of all the cross references is clear:
-- Sheep Sin offerings offer ALYAH fat like Sheep Peace offer
-- Goat Sin offerings dont offer ALYAH fat(Like GOAT PEACE)
