    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
    • (1a) further details,
    • (1b) confirm citations, or
    • (1c) clarify word meaning.
    This examples applies to Rashis Ex38-28a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w17n3.htm
    Brief Summary: The heads of the courtyard pillars were overlaid (Ex38-28) with silver (Ex38-17).

Verse Ex38-28a discussing the courtyard pillars states And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their heads, and bound them. Rashi clarifies the underlined word overlaid by referencing verse Ex38-19 which states And their pillars were four, and their sockets of bronze four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their joints of silver. Hence the Rashi comment: The overlaying mentioned in Ex38-28 is an overlaying with silver as indicated explicitly in Ex38-19.

Text of Target verse Ex38-28a Text of Reference Verse Ex38-19
And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and bound them And their pillars were four, and their sockets of bronze four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their joints of silver.
Rashi comments: The overlaying mentioned in Ex38-28 is an overlaying with silver as indicated in Ex38-19.

Advanced Rashi: Rashi's comment could simultaneously be derived from Ex38-27 which precedes Ex38-28 and which states And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary... The Other Verse method typically allows multiple derivations.
