    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.

    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/nu01-09a.htm
    Brief Summary: As they journeyed so they camped (Nu02-09a) REFERENCES Nu02-09:29 (CAMPINGS) and Nu10-13:27(JOURNEYINGS)

    Verse Nu02-09a discussing the journeys and campings of the Jewish people states Then the tent of meeting, with the camp of the Levites, shall set forward in the midst of the camps; as they encamped, so they set journeyed, every man in his place, by their standards. Rashi interprets the underlined phrase as they encamped, so they set journeyed by referencing the sequence of tribes in
    • Nu02-09:29 describing the campings of the Jewish people, and
    • Nu10-13:27 describing the journeyings of the Jewish people.
    Both the journeyings and campings indicate the same sequenceing of tribes:
    • Judah
    • Issacar
    • Zevulun
    • Reuven
    • Shimon
    • Gad
    • Ephraim
    • Menasheh
    • Binyamin
    • Dan
    • Asher
    • Naftali

    Sermonic points: Several other Rashis give sermonic points on why these orderings are so important. The reasons, curiously, date back to Jacob.These represent important lessons for us in selecting our own neighborhoods.
    • Tribes that got along with each other lived with other
    • Tribes with a common interest like learning (or mischief) lived together
