Biblical verse
Ex03-01a
discussing
Moses' professional experience as a shepard
states
And Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law,
the priest of Midian; and he guided the flock
towards the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb.
Rashi explains the underlined phrase
guided the flock
towards the desert
Typical shepards graze in fields near their home. Sheep however
sometimes wander into nearby fields. Technically this is theft.
Moses sheparded by the desert to avoid inadvertent theft.
The driving force of this Rashi is neither textual material, grammar, nor
word meanings. Rather the driving force is supplementary information about
professional standards of shepards.
Since the Rashi comment derives from non-verse material we consequently classify
this Rashi as non-verse.
