RASHI CITES OTHER VERSES
 


EXAMPLE 1: Ex18-04a God saved me from Pharoh (Cf Ex02-15)

OVERVIEW

In the following URL

we outline 6 methods by which Rashi cites OTHER VERSES

A BRIEF SUMMARY
---------------
Here is a brief summary with examples of the method
of OTHER VERSES

* Rashi can CONFIRM a citation with OTHER VERSES
* Rashi can ADD DETAILS by cross referencing OTHER VERSES
* Rashi can RESOLVE CONTRADICTIONS with OTHER VERSES

TODAYS LIST
-----------
We present 2 verses where Rashi cites OTHER VERSES.
Rashi CONFIRMS 1 verse and ADDS DETAILS to the 2nd.
Here is the list




VERSE
TEXT OF VERSE
METHOD OF OTHER VERSES USED




Ex18-04a
God saved me from Pharoh
CONFIRM *1




Ex18-08a
Moses told Jthro miracles
ENRICH DETAILS *2











COMMENTS




*1 Ex02-15 Explicitly states
   -----------------------------------------
   Pharoh tried to kill Moses, & Moses fled
   -----------------------------------------
   Moses had killed an Egyptian taskmaster who was beating a Jew
   When Pharoh heard this he tried to kill Moses
   Thus the main point of Rashi is to CONFIRM the statement
   in Ex18-05 that Pharoh tried to kill Moses

   However Rashi brings two other facts In the main posting
   we explain these.

   #1 Rashi suggests that it was Dathan and Aviram who
   slandered and told Pharoh that Moses killed an Egyptian.
   To show the reasonableness of this suggestion see URL

   http://www.RashiYomi.Com/ex01-13a.htm

   #2 Rashi cites the Midrash Rabbah that Pharoh tried to
   kill Moses but MOses neck became like marble and the
   sword broke.

   We cite the whole Midrash Rabbah and show that all
   the Midrash meant was that Moses had support among
   Pharohs staff (They didnt tell Pharoh where Moses was
   enabling him to escape).(We bring support that
   Having a MARBLE NECK is a symbol of TENACITY)

*2 Rashi shows a general trend in Moses to try and convert Jethro
   to Judaism or to get him to go with the Jews. Hence Rashi
   sees a deeper meaning in Moses telling Jethro about the
   Exodus; it was an opportunity for Moses to show Jethro how
   the Jewish God operates & bring him closer to Judaism

   Here are other attemps by Moses to get Jethro
   to stay with the Jews.
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   VERSE      ATTEMPT TO GET JETHRO INVOLVED TO STAY WITH JEWS
   ---------- ---------------------------------------------------
   Ex18-08    Moses tells Jethro about the Exodus
   Nu11-29:32 Moses begs Jethro to stay with Jews in wilderness
   Ex18-13:26 Jethro makes governance suggestions to help Moses
   Ex18-11    Jethro states: Jewish God greater than other gods
   Jud4-11,17 The FRIENDS OF JETHRO society worshiped Jewish God
   --------------------------------------------------------------

   See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ex18-01b.htm for an explanation
   of the verses in Judges.
