VERSE: Dt32-14a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt32-14a Dt32-14b Dt32-14c Dt32-14d

====================== Jews Enjoyed Wealth =====================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
-----------------
Dt32-13:14 is describing the great wealth and riches that God
gave the Jewish people when bringing them into the promised land
-The Cream of [the milk] of cows; the fat of sheep;
-With fat of plump sheep; the Ashanite Rams & mature sheep
-with the fat of kidney wheat; drinking beer of bloody grapes
Rashi does not EXPLAIN this verse whose meaning is clear;
Rather Rashi ENRICHES our understanding of this verse by giving
us EXAMPLES from OTHER VERSES where God gave us Riches. In other
words Rashi cites CROSS REFERENCES to ENRICH understanding.

---------------------------------------
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
--------------
Rashi cross references some specific promises of riches by
God to verses in Amos and Kings.
================================================================
VERSE    TEXT OF VERSE          CROSS REFERENCE  TEXT
======== ====================== ================ ===============
Dt32-14a Cream of Cows*1        10 healthy cows  1K05-03
Dt32-14b Fat of sheep *1        Eat plump sheep  Am06-04
Dt32-14c The fat of wheat*1     30 flour barels  1K05-02
Dt32-14d Bloody grapes for beer Drink wine bowls Am06-06*

NOTES
-----
*1 Again the emphasis here is
   - NOT on DEFINING MEANING
   - BUT on ENRICHMENT thru EXAMPLES

   This preception of Rashi as ENRICHMENT vs EXPLANATION
   facilitates appreciating the nuances of the verses
