The table below presents
two contradictory verses / verselets.
Both verses speak about
violations of God's will.
The underlined words highlight the contradiction.
One verse says
the people violated the Sabbath
while the other verse states
that God asked why you [Moses and the people] violate
God's will.
We see the contradiction---which is it?
Did only the people violate God's will or did Moses violate
God's will also.
Rashi simply resolves this contradiction using the
2 aspects
method:
The people violated the observance of the Sabbath;
But we infer from Ex16-22:23 that Moses was tardy
in the teaching of Sabbath laws. Hence God castigates both
of them: Why have you [Moses in teaching and the
people in observance] violated God's will.

in education as a means of preventing sin.
