*1 1Ch2-18:19 mentions explicitly that Chur was Kalevs son.
1Ch2-18:19 also speaks about a man marrying somebody who
gave birth to his wife! Rashi in Chronicles suggests the
reasonable interpretation that the mother died on the
operating table and the father named his new daughter
after his deceased wife (Hence his wife gave birth >to
his wife< since she had the same name).

Chazal give a more homiletic interpretation that Kalev
was married to Miryam who was considered dead since she
was leprous. Since Kalev nursed her back to health and
stayed with her he is considered as if he >RENEWED HER
LIFE< and gave birth to her.

Since Rashi on Chronicles contradicts Rashi on Chumash
I assume he didnt fully accept the Midrash that Miryam
was Churs mother. Nevertheless Rashi cited it to show
the broad spectrum of interpretation (Rashi will sometimes
cite one explanation and let teachers pave thru the other
explanations). On the Chronicle verse there are 5
alternative explanations.

Be that as it may everyone agrees that the driving force
behind Rashi is the OTHER VERSE.

*2 As mentioned earlier this type of example is the basis
of the Passover Hagaddah. Cross referencing is the most
basic type of research but nevertheless can be done by
everybody. Such research would enable a proliferation of
Torah scholars.

*3 The Malbim cites Ex32-27:28. Rashi cites Ex20-03. So Levi
both listened to Gods will not to worship idols as well
as to Moses order to kill relatives.

*4 This example properly belongs in te Rabbi Ishmael series
on contradictory verses. In this case we resolve the
two contradictory verses using the method of MODALITY.

It is INITIALLY required to offer OXEN, LAMBS and GOATS
as described in Nu28-19. However if you say only had
OXEN then you shouldn't say >Since I cant bring all of
them together I will not bring any of them<. Rather
you should follow the law in Lv23-08 that says >OFFER
TO THE FIRE< (In other words >OFFER WHATEVER YOU CAN<)

*5 The point here is that Dt07-23:24 is stated in a CLIMACTIC
manner:
--God will give you the >NATIONS<
--God will give you their >KINGS<
--You will erase their >NATIONAL NAME<
--There will be >NO SURVIVORS<
(The principle of CLIMAX demands that the last phrase be
interpreted to refer to SURVIVORS even though it literally
only says >No man will stand before you< which could have
many meanings)

Once we learn that >no man will stand before you< refers
to >survivors< (because of the principle of CLIMAX) we
then transfer that translation to Dt11-25a.

*6 Thus the Korach rebellion gives details on HOW ANGRY God
would get if the Levites or Priests had their jobs inteferred
with

*7 THe exact same phrase >Because Abraham obeyed my voice is
used in both Gn22-18 and Gn26-05. Hence it is natural
to link them and say that they refer to each other.

*8 Ex29-43 says >I will sanctify myself with WEIGHT< while
Lv10-03 says >I will sanctify myself with those CLOSE to me<
The 2 verses and the incident that happened---that Aaron the
High Priests sons died because they did something improper
shows that God rules by Justice without favoritism to close
ones. This makes people appreciate Gods honor and weight and
respect him more
