VERSE: Gn49-08a
RASHIS COVERED: Gn49-08a Gn49-08c
Gn49-08a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Many Rashis derive their punch from comparisons and alignments
with other verses

EXAMPLE Gn49-08a
----------------
RASHI: Jacob...
- CURSED Shimon and Levi's anger
- Accused Reuven of DESCERATING his birthright
- but PRAISED JUDAH as being ACKNOWLEDGED by his brothers
The contrast is obvious

EXAMPLE Gn45-08c
----------------
RASHI:
- Isaac who had ONE wife blesses that ALL CHILDREN OF THE
mother SHOULD BOW TO YOU
- Jacob who had FOUR wives blesses that ALL CHILDREN OF
THE father SHOULD BOW TO YOU

The contrast is again obvious--MOTHERS children in the
case of Jacob would not include everybody.

Alignment of             blessings of JACOB vs ISAAC
VERSE PHRASE1 PHRASE2 PHRASE3
Gn49-08c Jacob blesses Judah Your FATHERS children will bow to you
Gn27-29 Isaac blesses Jacob Your MOTHERS children will bow to you
Differs *1 *1 *2
COMMENTS
 
*1 Rashi is Simple: Isaac had one wife while Jacob had 4
Hence Isaac speaks about the MOTHERS CHILDREN (since it
is unambiguous) while Jacob speaks about the FATHERS CHILDREN
so as to include everybody

*2 The same in both texts
