The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets
in
Dt11-21b, (Gn17-08 Gn26-03 Gn28-13.
Both verses/verselets
discuss
the inheritance of Israel.
The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
All three Patriarchs were promised the land of Israel would be
given to them and to their descendants. But in Dt11-21
God refers to the land promised to them. Hence the emphasis that
not only will the Jewish people inherit Israel but the Patriarchs themselves
will also so inherit (upon resurrection).

Rashi comment
|
Dt11-21b
|
That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
|
All three Patriarchs were promised the land of Israel would be
given to them and to their descendants. But in Dt11-21
God refers to the land promised to them. Hence the emphasis that
not only will the Jewish people inherit Israel but the Patriarchs themselves
will also so inherit (upon resurrection).
|
Gn17-08, Gn26-03, Gn28-13
|
[summary paraphrase of all 3 verses]
And I [God] will give to you and
to your descendants ....the land of Canaan
|
Advanced Rashi:
Another approach to this Rashi is through
the format rule. If you inspect all three
promises to the Patriarchs you will see a repetition of the
repeating keyword to. The repetition of to in to you and to your descendants
creates a bullet like effect emphasizing that both the Patriarchs
themselves as well as their descendants will inherit Israel.
Note, traditional Rashi=ists would
learn this Rashi from the emphasized phrase to you.
But you by itself
could mean the plural you and refer
to your nation. However, Rashi is
preferably learned by the emphasis
indicated by the bullets or by the aligned contrast which
emphasizes both you and your descendants.
