SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- Rashi frequently commented using the powerful ALIGNMENT method: Two or more verses are aligned - the minor difference between them imply rich nuances. EXAMPLE Ex08-12a Ex07-19a ----------------------------------- - Ex07-19a AARON brought the Blood plague from water(#-1) - Ex08-01 AARON brought the Frog plague from water(#-2) - Ex08-12a AARON brought the Lice plague from dust(#-3) - Ex09-10 MOSES brought boil plague from heaven(#-6) - Ex09-23 MOSES brought Hail plague from heaven(#-7) - Ex10-12 MOSES brought Locust plague from heaven(#-8) - Ex10-22 MOSES brought Darkness plague from heaven(#-9) This list is clear---Moses brought the plagues connected with HEAVEN but did not bring the plagues connected with the NILE or with DUST. Rashi-is-Simple and suggests a reason - the NILE protected Moses as an infant and the DUST covered up the Egyptian that Moses had killed--hence the use of Aaron vs Moses symbolizes an exaggerated sensitivity to the feelings of the inanimate (-Moses did not double cross the river or dust!). Hopefully we humans learn from this to be sensitive to people who do us favors. EXAMPLE Ex08-15a ---------------- - Ex07-22 Egyptian witches do-- reproduce plague of blood - Ex08-03 Egyptian witches do-- reproduce plague of frogs - Ex08-14 Egyptian witches dont reproduce plague of lice The above ALIGNMENT explains why the Egyptian witches stated that the plague of lice WAS THE FINGER OF GOD. They recognized God as a higher power that could do things they could not do. | ||

*1 The phrase BROUGHT THE PLAGUE refers to the acts done prior to the plague coming, such as throwing dust or waiving the rod. Either Moses or Aaron did these acts - the list shows who did what. *2 Moses was Gods main emissary and hence he brought the plagues The list is clear---Moses brought the plagues connected with HEAVEN but did not bring the plagues connected with the NILE or with DUST. Why? Rashi-is-Simple and suggests a simple answer - the NILE protected Moses as an infant Ex02-01:04; the DUST covered up the Egyptian that Moses had killed (Ex02-12)--hence the use of Aaron vs Moses symbolizes an exaggerated sensitivity to the feelings of the inanimate (-Moses did not double cross the river or dust!). Hopefully we humans learn from this to be sensitive to people who do us favors.*10 *3 No symbolic act (such as waiving the rod or throwing dust) was done prior to plagues 4 or 5 I do not know a reason. (Obviously however the 10th plague- the smiting of the first born was done by God Himself without any human aid) For other examples of treating inanimate objects with sensitivity see | |||||
