Gn07-02b

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently makes powerful inferences from the alignment
of ALMOST similar verses. The minor variations between these
almost similar verses suggests nuances and differences.or
even meaning.

Gn07-02b vs Gn07-02
-------------------
Gn07-02 discusses the number of animals Noach took into the ark
- From the KOSHER animals he took SEVEN each
- From the NON-KOSHER.....he took TWO each
The difference (7 vs 2) is further illumined in Gn08-20
--------------------------------------------------------
Noach offered sacrifices from the Kosher animals when he
left the ark
--------------------------------------------------------
So Rashi-is-Simple...presumably he took the extra Kosher
animals in order to offer sacrifices

Align 2 verses with      Number of animals Noach took
Verse Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Phrase 3
Gn07-02b From the KOSHER animals Noach took Seven each
Gn07-02 From the NON KOSHER animals Noach took two each
Differs *1 *2 *3
COMMENTS
 
*1 The verse clearly indicates 2 cases: Kosher vs Non Kosher
animals

*2 This phrase is the same in both verses

*3 Noach took 7 from the Kosher but only 2 from the Non-Kosher
This is further illumined in Gn08-20a
--------------------------------------------------------
Noach offered sacrifices from the Kosher animals when he
left the ark
--------------------------------------------------------
So Rashi-is-Simple...Noach reasoned that God ordered
the 5 extra Kosher animals (over the standard 2) in order
to have animals to sacrifice.*10
LONGER FOOTNOTES
 

*10 In passing Rashi on Gn07-02a comments that
-----------------------------------------------------
God told Noach to take KOSHER animals---we therefore
infer that Noach learned the Torah
----------------------------------------------------

But there are many places where the Torah used future events
to name a concept. This is an attribute of the Torah writing
and does not justify inferences of prophecy or learning.

Rather the SOURCE for inferring that Noach LEARNED THE TORAH
is Gn08-20 not Gn07-02
-------------------------------------------------
Noach offered from the Kosher animals, sacrifices
-------------------------------------------------

Rashi,ibid, states(paraphrased)
--------------------------------------------------
Since Noach was never commanded to make sacrifices
we infer that Noach studied the difference between
Kosher and non-Kosher animals and decided that
the Kosher animals were worthy of sacrifice

Hence we see that Noach employed Torah methods to
make inferences and serve God
