VERSE: Dt07-22a
======================== Dt07-22a =======================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Although many Rashis explain meaning and grammar
several Rashis examine the relation of given verses
with other verses.
A particularly exciting task of Rashi is when 2
verses contradict each other. Rashis task is to
resolve the contradiction.We have presented in our
rules, 5 methods of doing this
EXAMPLE
-------
Lv26-03:06 states that IF WE OBSERVE GODS COMMANDMENTS
God will remove wild animals from Israel.By contrast
Dt07-22 states that God will conquer the inhabitants
of Israel slowly FOR IF HE DID IT QUICKLY THE WILD
ANIMALS WOULD COME. Clearly then, Dt07-22 is dealing
with the situation where we are not yet righteous
enough to enjoy the no-wild-animal protection of Lv26-06

VERSE-1 VERSE-2 HOW THE TWO TEXTS ARE COMBINED
======= ======= ========================================
Dt08-02 Lv26-06 WHEN OBSERVANT God protects;ELSE not*1
Nu21-21 Dt02-26 MOSES sent delegates on behalf of ISRAEL
Ex20-19 Ex19-20 Gods voice in HEAVEN;His FIRE on EARTH
Ex40-35 Ex25-22 Moses at Entrance; Gods by Crubim
Ex28-37 Ex39-30 Priest MASK went AROUND and OVER head
Ex25-03 Ex30-12 TAXES for base;VOLUNTARY for vessels
Nu04-05 Nu04-15 PRIESTS pack; KEHATHITES carry*10
NOTES
-----
*1 See Lv26-03. Thus Lv26-03:06 explicitly states that
when we observe, God will remove wild animals. Dt08-02
by contrast, explains that conquest of Israel will
happen slowly FOR IF IT HAPPEEND QUICKLY WILD ANIMALS
WOULD COME (because the Jews moral nature was not
yet perfected and the protection of Lv26-03:06
does not yet apply) *11
----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------
*10 Rashis point is strengthened by the abrupt change
of subject
-----------------------------------------------
Nu04-04 This is the job the KEHATHITES
Nu04-05 The PRIESTS come and cover the articles
...
Nu04-15 ..and AFTERWARDS the KEHATHITES come
-----------------------------------------------
If one just reads Nu04-04 and Nu04-05 by themselves
it appears as if the PRIESTS mentioned in Nu04-05
refer back to the KEHATHITES mentioned in Nu04-04
*11 Interesting Rashi cites a verse in Job rather
than the explicit Lv26-03:06. Rashi also does
not explicitly mention that he is using the rule
of resolving 2 contradictory cases.
But that IS what Rashi does. It seems rather
straightforward to introduce Lv26-03:06. Rashi
probably expected the reader to know this verse
since it comes in the great REBUKE---Rashi complements
this verses with complementary verses in Job
