*1 So God Spoke to AARON to Say is a rarity which
must be commented on

*10 There is a long Malbim on the Sifray at Lv01-01
where the Malbim goes into depth on the Divine
commands to MOSES vs AARON vs MOSES & AARON.

Suffice it to say that this Rashi takes a
simpler approach at explaining the anomalies.
Also...Rashi never addresses the 11 verses with
God speaks to MOSES AND AARON

*1 This chapter deals with the prohibition
of drinking wine which caused the
downfall and deaths of Aarons 2
children For further details on why God
directly told this to Aaron see LIST603c


*2 This chapter deals with the priestly
gifts. Hence it was spoken directly
to Aaron

*10 We take this opportunity to discuss methodology
Rashi actually states that
---------------------------------------
AARON WAS silent WHEN MOSES TOLD HIM
THAT GOD SANCTIFIES HIMSELF THRU
THE DEATH OF HIS CLOSE ONES. HENCE
BEcAUSE OF THIS silence HE MERITED
THAT THE CHAPTER PROHIBITING WINE WAS
STATED TO HIM
---------------------------------------

By contrast we have stated
---------------------------------------
THERE ARE TWO CHAPTERS WHERE GOD SPOKE
TO AARON. BOTH THESE CHAPTERS DEAL
WITH priestly matters--ONE DEALS WITH
PRIESTLY GIFTS WHILE ONE DEALS WITH
PRIESTLY RESPONSIBILITIES (TO ABSTAIN
FROM WINE DURING SERVICE). HENCE THESE
CHAPTERS were stated exclusively to Aaron
--------------------------------------

Notice how our explanation deals with
the ENTIRE LIST. This is a deeper
approach to the Biblical text.

Nevertheless Rashi adds an important point
------------------------------------------
Aaron was a serious religious person
He was interested in Gods commands
Hence he could be TRUSTED with the
responsibility of telling people to
abstain from wine during service since
it might lead to their deaths.
------------------------------------------

Rashi proves Aarons seriousness by noting
--------------------------------------------
that when Moses told him that God sanctifies
himself thru the death of righteous people
Aaron was silent (And accepted)
--------------------------------------------

By contrast we have presented a
------------------------------------------
list of 3 items showing that Aaron was
serious and religious
------------------------------------------

Our approach is deeper and richer

But our approach does no CONTRADICT Rashi.
Rather we regard Rashi as giving ONE EXAMPLE
Therefore proper Rashi study suggests
adding more examples.

I think this way of taking Rashi study
is exemplary.
