The table below presents an aligned extract of verses in
Gn49-01:02
Both verses
discuss
Jacob's farewell address.
The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that
Jacob's blessings contains elements of both a) the future Messianic era
b) present advice on how they should treat each other.
Rashi is based on the alignment in the table below. However we can
supplement Rashi by providing references. Notice how the blessing to Judah
contains Messianic references (the future!) while the blessings to Joseph contain
mostly a present description of events. This supplementation of Rashi with references
in the blessings strengthens the Rashi comment: It is not simply based on an alignment
but rather is solidly based on an alignment supported by references.

Rashi comment
|
Gn49-01
|
And Jacob called to his sons, and said,
- Gather yourselves together,
- that I may tell you
- that which shall befall you in the future era.
|
The emphasis here is on future events
|
Gn49-02
|
- Gather yourselves together,
- and hear, you sons of Jacob; and
- listen to Israel your father.
|
Emphasis on present advice.
|
Advanced Rashi: The technique we have introduced above - supplementing
an alignment with references is fundamental to enriching Rashi.
