*1 The Bible says PLACE MEZUZOTH ON THE Dorposts OF HOUSE
- So DOORPOSTS means on BOTH doorposts
- But DORPOSTS means its OK to place on just one

Similarly we need only take ONE LULAV branch

Similarly only the MALE sea monster was created

In each case the GROUP need not be FULL

*2 The Bible says that the rainbow was placed as a sign
for all GENERATIONS
- GENERATIONS implies ALL generations
- GENRATIONS implies for MOST not ALL Generations
Because some were righteous and did not need a rainbow
to promise them they wouldnt be destroyed

*3 The Bible tells Adam and eve YU CONQUER THE EARTH
YU is spelled deficiently (not YOU) to indicate
that BOTH of them need not participate---it suffices
if one of them (the male) goes out and earns bread

*4 The TABLTS of stone functioned as a GROUP...you
only needed one...(Because each one was a replica
of the other*10)


*5 The PRINCS brought as a GROUP not as EACH INDIVIDUAL
This contrasted with the behavior of the nation
mentioned in Ex35-05---each person brought by
himself.*11

*10 The other possibility is that part of the 10
commandments were written on one tablet and part
on the other. The moral implication of the two
tablets being copies of each other is that we
should repeatedly review our learning.

*11 Rashi brings further support for the idea that
the princes did not bring as individuals but
as a group.
- They waited till the end to bring
- They acted like elected officials (who think
that the masses are incapable of doing their
job and the officials have to come at the
end and make up what was not done)
