VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to give the
meanings of words the same way the dictionary
does. Rashi sometimes traces SPECIAL WORDS
that occur several dozen times in the Torah--
Rashi shows a unifying thread and commonality of
meaning.

The word LAYMOR is the infinitive of the word
TO SAY--so the simple translation of LAYMOR
means TO BE SAID.  In the lists below we will
explore 4 manifestations of verses where TO BE
SAID occurs.

EXAMPLE 1: Lv10-16c TO BE SAID=REQUEST RESPONSE
-----------------------------------------------
TEXT: Moses got angry TO BE SAID
RASHI: Moses demanded an ANSWER to what
angered him (Hence the verse says TO BE SAID)

EXAMPLE 2: Dt15-11b TO BE SAID=Spread the word
----------------------------------------------
TEXT: Therefore I command charity laws TO BE SAID
RASHI: One should spread the word about the
importance of charity laws and the reward for
following them

EXAMPLE 3: Nu26-03b TO BE SAID=Transmit
---------------------------------------
TEXT: God spoke to Moses/Elazar TO BE SAID
RASHI: The commandment should be transmitted
to Jews

EXAMPLE 4: Nu12-13b TO BE SAID--
``````````Moses demands response
--------------------------------
TEXT: Moses prayed to God, for his
````sister TO BE SAID
RASHI: Moses, as it were, demanded
`````` from God an answer

LIST005d
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03


In the verses below the word LAYMOR, TO BE
SAID, indicates that a RESPONSE was
requested There are 5 verses where Moses requested
an answer from God (These are the only 5 verses
where it says MOSES SPOKE TO GOD,...TO BE SAID)*10
VERSE INCIDENT RESPONSE REQUESTED
Dt03-23b Moses-Israel Why cant I enter Israel*4
Nu12-13b Moses-Miriam Why was my sister punished*5
Ex06-12 Moses-Exodus How will Pharoh listen*6
Nu27-15b Moses-Joshua God,please appoint leader*7
Ex17-04 Moses-nation They will stone me
COMMENTS
 
*4 Cf Dt03-26:28 for the answer

*5 Cf Nu12-14:15 for Gods answer to Moses

*6 Cf Ex07-08:13 for the answer

*7 Cf Nu27-18:21 for the answer
LONGER FOOTNOTES
 

*10 Actually there are 2 Rashis citing Sifrahs
that list these verses Nu12-13b Dt03-23b

Remarkably
- one of these Rashis says there were 4 places
- one of these Rashis says there were 3 places
But the list above shows there are 5.

There are at least 4 answers why Rashi
said 3 and 4 vs 5. (Some come from the
Sifsay chachamim while some come from me)
These 4 reasons are presented below.

However the main point of Rashi is that
MOSES SPOKE TO GOD..SAYING occurs only 5
times (The fact that 3 or 4 of these 5
have special characteristics is a SECONDARY
point to Rashi--the primary point is that
there are 5 verses). Here are the
explanations on why Rashi omitted cases

EXPLANATION 1(Hendel)
-------------
3 of the 5 verses use non-conventional
words for talking (SCREAM, SUPPLICATE etc)
Hence Rashi did not have to mention the
obvious cases of MOSES SPOKE...TO BE SAID
but did have to emphasize the non obvious
cases

EXPLANATION 2(Sifsay Chachamim)
-------------
3 of the 5 verses involve PRAYER (supplicate
or screaming to God on issues). Hence Rashi
only mentioned those prayers where Moses
demanded an answer (Since there is a certain
contradiction and non-expectedness in
praying in supplication but demanding an
answer).


EXPLANATION 3(Hendel)
---------------------
In 4 of the 5 verses one can SEE Gods answer
(eg Moses asked for a leader and God
responds by ordering Joshua picked). Hence
Rashi only picked those examples of verses
where it TO BE SAID is followed by Gods
answer (Since those 4 cases PROVE that
TO BE SAID indicates a demanded response
from God)

EXPLANATION 4(Hendel)
---------------------
Only 4 of the verses have the phrase (Moses
....) TO GOD TO BE SAID (The 5th verse
states MOSES SPOKE BEFORE GOD TO BE SAID.
Hence Rashi only picked on the traditional
TO GOD TO BE SAID verses and left out
unconventional forms (BEFORE GOD)
