    1. RASHI METHOD: REFERENCES
    BRIEF EXPLANATION: Commentary on a verse is provided thru a cross-reference to another verse. The cross references can either provide

    Brief Summary: Nu20-22a The ENIRE nation came to Mount Hor..., REFERENCES Nu14-32:33 discussing the 40 year period during which the generation of the spies died out (But now the ENTIRE nation was ready to enter Israel)

Verse Nu20-22a discussing the arrival of the entire nation at Mount Hor states They traveled from Kadesh, and the entire congregation of the children of Israel arrived at Mount Hor. Rashi clarifies the underlined words entire by referencing verse(s) Nu14-32:33 which states But as for you [the generation of the spies], your corpses shall fall in this desert. Your children shall wander in the desert for forty years and bear your defection until the last of your corpses has fallen in the desert. Hence the Rashi comment: Aaron died in the 40th year (Nu33-38) after the generation of the spies had died out. Hence the entire congregation came to Mount Hor and was ready to enter Israel, none of them needing to die for their sins.
