VERSE: Dt11-31a

======================== Dt11-31a ================================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 main goals is the clarification of meaning
the same way the dictionary clarifies meaning. Rashi will
frequently comment on SPECIAL CONNECTIVE WORS such as IF,
BECAUSE, PERHAPS.

EXAMPLE:The word KAPH YUD, KI, has 7 meanings
---------------------------------------------
The Hebrew word KAPH YUD has 7 meanings as follows
---------------------------------------------------------
Gn18-15a BECAUSE  Sarah denied mocking BECAUSE she was afraid
Gn29-15a QUERY    BECAUSE you are my relative you dont get paid?
Dt15-08b RATHER   Don't be miserly RATHER give charity
Ex34-09a IF       IF we are obstinate then forgive us
Dt32-03a WHEN     WHEN I call Gods name give praise to God
Nu20-29c THAT     The nation saw THAT Aaron died
Ex23-05c PERHAPS  PERHAPS you will desert him? No--help him
---------------------------------------------------------

Rashi explains the word KI in Dt11-31a as meaning BECAUSE
------------------------------------------------------
When you come to Israel acknowledge CURSES and BLESSINGS
of observing God's law BECAUSE God [thru miracles] is
taking you over the Jordan and allowing you to conquer the land
---------------------------------------------------------

Dt11-31a BECAUSE  Acknowledge bless/curse BECAUSE ofGods miracles

NOTES
-----
*1 The actual flow of text would be as follows
   -----------------------------------------------------
   When you come to the land that God gives you then you
   will ACKNOWLEDGE the blessings on Mount Gerizim and the
   curses on Mount Eyval (which are at...) BECAUSE you
   are transversing the Jordan and conquering the land
   through Gods help [miracles]
   -----------------------------------------------------

   Rashi's point is that
   - we acknowledge BLESSINGS and CURSE of following
     Gods laws
   - because our entry to the land is miraculous and
     dependent on God*10
-------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------

*10 Rashi emphasizes
    --------------------------------------------
    You will cross over Jordan thru a miracle
    --------------------------------------------

    However I would argue that this is in the general context
    that several miracles will happen
    - crossing the Jordan
    - conquest of Israel
    - Inhabiting the land
