VERSE: Dt14-02a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt14-02a

==================== Dt14-02a ===============

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Dt14-02 and Dt07-06 both mention that the Jews
a) are a holy nation b) God chose them to do his
work. In one verse the two phrases are in opposition:
(1)YOU ARE A HOLY NATION: (i.e.)GOD CHOSE YOU
But in the 2nd verse the two phrases are connected
(2)YOU ARE A HOLY NATION and GOD CHOSE YOU. This
contrast (Opposition vs Conjunction) leads Rashi to
see 2 reasons for holiness: (1)Because we do Gods
work and (2) Both because of our doing Gods work
and the merit of the Patriarchs.

======= ====================== === =============
Dt07-06 You are a holy nation  :   God chose you
Dt14-02 You are a holy nation  and God chose you
Differs *1                     *2  *3

NOTES
-----
*1 *3 These phrases are the same

*2 So in one verse the HOLINESS and CHOSENESS
   are COMBINED (and) while in the other verse
   they are EQUATED IN OPPOSITION(HOLY: ie CHOSEN)

   Rashi therefore infers there are 2 (not 1)
   reason for the HOLINESS
   - We were CHOSEN to do Gods will
   - Some other reason--presumably the oath to
     the patriarchs
