VERSE: Dt28-69a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt28-69a Dt28-69b

============= JEWS ACCEPTED THE TORAH IN SINAI & MOAB ==========

BACKGROUND
----------
It is well known that the Jews received the 10 commandments and
the Torah at Sinai. After explaining the law, Moses further
explained that the Jews would receive blessings if they
observed the commandments and would be cursed if they violated
the commandments

THE TEXT  Dt28-69
-----------------
---------------------------------------------------------
These (The above Biblical chapter of blessings for following
Gods law and curses for violating Gods law) are the words
of the Treaty that God ratified between Him and the Jewish
People BESIDES THE TREATY THAT GOD RATIFIED WITH THEM IN
CHOREB.
---------------------------------------------------------

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi-is-Simple: He simply cross-references the texts of
blessings and cursings in Moab and Sinai. This linking of
BLESSINGS and CURSES to observance/non-observance
- is stated in Lv26 (at Mount Sinai)
- is stated in Dt28 (at the plains of Moab)

THE LIST
---------------------------------
Here are the ALIGNED Chapters.*10

=================================================================
PLACE    CHAPTER OF BLESSINGS   CHAPTER OF CURSES  NOTES
=======  ====================   =================  =====
MOAB     Dt28-01:14             Dt28-15:69         *1
CHOREB   Lv26-03:13             Lv26-14:46         *2

NOTES
=====
*1 The Bible explicitly identifies the place where Moses
   delivered his fairwell message as Moab. See Dt01-05,Dt34-01
   Thus all of Deuteronomy was stated in Moab.

*2 The Leviticus blessings and curses were stated at Sinai (See
   Lv01-01,Lv25-01). Furthermore the Bible explicitly identifies
   Chorev and Sinai as two names for the place where the 10
   commandments were given(See Dt04-10, Dt04-15,and Ex19-01)

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

*10 Technically speaking this ALIGNMENT is different than
    other ALIGNMENTS. Other ALIGNMENTS are alignments of WORDS:
    That is two sentences will be almost the same except for
    certain words in which they differ. By contrast
    the above alignment is an alignment of CONCEPTS. The two
    chapters both have BLESSINGS & CURSES for OBSERVANCE or
    NON-OBSERVANCE of Gods laws. Thus it is the CONCEPTS that
    align: There is no commonality of WORDS.
