VERSE: Dt14-02a
RASHIS COVERED: Dt14-02a
|
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03 | ||
SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Dt14-02 and Dt07-06 both mention that the Jews a) are a holy nation b) God chose them to do his work. In one verse the two phrases are in opposition: (1)YOU ARE A HOLY NATION: (i.e.)GOD CHOSE YOU But in the 2nd verse the two phrases are connected (2)YOU ARE A HOLY NATION and GOD CHOSE YOU. This contrast (Opposition vs Conjunction) leads Rashi to see 2 reasons for holiness: (1)Because we do Gods work and (2) Both because of our doing Gods work and the merit of the Patriarchs. | ||

| Differs | *1 | *2 | *3 | |

*1 *3 These phrases are the same *2 So in one verse the HOLINESS and CHOSENESS are COMBINED (and) while in the other verse they are EQUATED IN OPPOSITION(HOLY: ie CHOSEN) Rashi therefore infers there are 2 (not 1) reason for the HOLINESS - We were CHOSEN to do Gods will - Some other reason--presumably the oath to the patriarchs | ||||
