VERSE: Dt06-08a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt06-08a Dt06-08b

========================= CROSS REFERENCE TEFILLIN ==============

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Dt06-04:08 states
 - These words (The Bible) should be on your minds
 ---  And you should study them continuously
 ---  And you should tie them as a SYMBOL on your hand
 --- [Any you should tie them as] ORNAMENTS on your head
The capped words SYMBOL and ORNAMENTS refer to the TEFILLIN.
As the LIST below shows the Torah explicitly connects tefillin
- with learning
- with the idea of a SYMBOL and ORNAMENT
In fact we have 4-5 paragraphs where the tefillin are mentioned

---------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE:     OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:  FURTHER DETAILS
---------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi
is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE

One way of doing this is to cross reference a
verse that speaks about the SAME topic but gives
FURTHER details.


STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
The following example comes from the Passover
Hagaddah

Dt26-05 states that
-------------------------------
 With only a FEW PEOPLE did the
 Jews go down to Egypt
-------------------------------

FURTHER DETAILS on the meaning of
the Biblical phrase FEW PEOPLE is
provided in Gn46.

EXERCISE:
---------
Before reading the Rashi try reading
Gn46 yourself and see if you can
discover the further details.

RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Rashi cites Gn46-27
-----------------------------
 The total number of people who
 came with Jacob to Egypt is 70
-----------------------------

Thus the Rashi method of OTHER VERSES
in this case has explained to us that
the FEW PEOPLE that went down to
Egypt refers to SEVENTY people

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS
------------------------------------------
You can use the LIST below for school projects.
Here is how, if you are a teacher then you
can present the verse in the first column
(eg Dt26-05) and the CHAPTER (but not the verse)
in the 3rd column---e.g. Gn46.

The student is then instructed to discover
the further details. The students solution
can then be compared with Rashis.

TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
We list all verses where TEFILLIN are mentioned.
As can be seen many of them mention LEARNING, SYMBOLS
and ORNAMENTS.*1
==============================================================
VERSE      TEXT OF VERSE with LEARNING,SYMBOL,ORNAMENT
========== ===================================================
Ex13-01:10 It will be a SIGN/REMEMBERANCE...help for LEARNING
Ex13-11:16 It will be a SIGN/ORNAMENT on your ARM/HEAD
Ex33-05    Remove your TRINKETS from you as punishment*10
Dt06-04:09 LEARN:BIND them as SIGNS/ORNAMENTS on your ARM/HEAD
Dt11-13:21 LEARN:BIND them as SIGNS/ORNAMENTS on your ARM/HEAD

NOTES
-----
*1 As the reader reviews this list, they will notice how
   a variety of words/phrases are used
   - THEY WILL BE vs BIND THEM on your arm/head
   - SIGN, REMEMBERANCE, ORNAMENT, TRINKET
   - LEARNING

   In fact the above list contains the only 4 Biblical
   paragraphs mentioning that something should be BOUND on
   your arm/head.  Collectively this list requires us to
   wear ARM and HEAD tefillin which function as a symbol
   that helps us learn

---------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------

*10 I brought this verse because SOME COMMENTATORS think the
   word TRINKET in them refers to tefillin. THe alternate
   point of view is that it refers to the TRINKETS that they
   took out from Egypt (and used in making the golden calf)
   (Curiously Rashi holds the alternate point of view)

    I brought this verse to show how certain commentaries
    which are judged as fanciful may be reasonable (Even
    if in the end we dont accept them). Reviewing this list
    we see that INTERPRETING TRINKET as TEFILLIN is reasonable
    (In passing the reason Rashi rejected this interpretation
     is because the CONTEXT requires otherwise--the Jews
     sinned by using these Trinkets to make the golden calf;
     hence they were punished by having them removed)
