RASHIS COVERED: Dt01-25a Gn45-09a Ex33-01a Dt32-13b Dt17-08f
======================== Dt01-25a ============================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will very often take a verse whose
meaning is ALREADY understood and ADD a consequence
to the verse.
In other words the
- WORDS and
- GRAMMAR
used by the verse are standard and understood.
- OTHER VERSES do not add further details to
the verses meaning.
If Rashi adds consequences or assumptions to
the verses meaning we call this the SPREADSHEET
method since SPREADSHEETS are very often
used to derive consequences from otherwise
understood data.
If the additional inferences are
- numerical, and can be depicted with a
SPREADSHEET of numbers we say Rashi is
using the ALGEBRAIC spreadsheet method
- diagramatic, we say Rashi is using the
GEOMETRIC spreadsheet method
- verbal-logical, we say Rashi is using
the CONSEQUENCE SPREADSHEET method.
EXAMPLE ISRAEL
-------------------
There are numerous verses where
- journey TO Israel is called GOING UP
- journey AWAY from Israel is called GOING DOWN
By itself this is simply a Hebrew idiomatic
usage. Rashi however infers an additional
GEOMETRIC consequence
-----------------------------------------
The Jewish perspective as indicated by
the Hebrew language is that Israel is
- at the CENTER
- and TOP
of Europe.
Other geographic references are made
from this TOP, FOCAL point.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Rashi could find further support for this view
by using the OTHER VERSE method. Ez38-12 states
----------------------------------------------
To take booty, and to plunder;
to turn your hand upon the desolate
places that are now inhabited,
and upon the people who are gathered
from the nations, who have acquired cattle
and goods, who dwell ON THE BELLY OF THE LAND
----------------------------------------------
We now list 6 verses using the language
UP AND DOWN for going TO and AWAY from
Israel. Rashi makes an identical comment
-----------------------------------------
Israel is perceived at the TOP of the land
-----------------------------------------
in all of them.
One of them is about JERUSALEM/THE TEMPLE
In other words the TEMPLE & JERUSALEM are
at the TOP of Israel. ISRAEL is at the TOP
of the world. Here are the verses
- Verse Dt01-25a states
------------------------------------------------
And they took of the fruit of the land in their
hands, and brought it DOWN to us, and brought us
word again, and said, It is a good land which
the Lord our God does give us.
------------------------------------------------
- Verse Gn45-09a states
------------------------------------------------
Hurry back to my father, and say to him,
Thus said your son Joseph, God has made me
lord of all Egypt; come DOWN to me, delay not;
------------------------------------------------
- Verse Ex33-01a states
------------------------------------------------
And the Lord said to Moses, Depart, and go UP,
you and the people whom you have brought out
of the land of Egypt, to the land which I
swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob,
saying, To your seed will I give it;
------------------------------------------------
- Verse Dt32-13b states
------------------------------------------------
He drove us on the HIGH PLACES of the earth,
[ Israel ] so that we ate he ate the produce
of the fields; and he made him suck honey out
of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
------------------------------------------------
- Verse Gn46-03:04 states
------------------------------------------------
And He said, I am God, the God of your father;
fear not to go DOWN to Egypt; for I will there
make of you a great nation; I will go DOWN
with you to Egypt; and I will also surely
bring you UP again; and Joseph shall put
his hand upon your eyes.
------------------------------------------------
- Verse Dt17-08f states
------------------------------------------------
If there arises a matter too hard for you in
judgment, between blood and blood, between plea
and plea, and between plague and plague, being
matters of controversy inside your gates; then
shall you arise, and GO UP to the place which
the Lord your God shall choose;
