VERSE: Dt34-12c

RASHIS COVERED: Dt34-12c Dt33-29c Dt33-29d

=============== OTHER VERSES-SUPPORT ============================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
There are 6 major Rashi methods. The DICTIONARY METHOD where
Rashi explains meaning of words & the GRAMMAR METHOD where
Rashi explains verses by GRAMMAR are obvious. In the
OTHER VERSE method Rashi illumines the verse using OTHER VERSES.
-Dt34-12c states Moses did awesome things to eyes of ALL ISRAEL
 Dt09-17 gives the details: Moses broke tablets to ALL ISRAEL
-Dt33-29c states that Jewish enemies will deny and FALSIFY
 Jos09-09 explains:Givonim DISGUISED themselves to get treaty
-Dt33-29d states that Jews step on HIGH.
 Js10-10 explains HIGH=LEADERS(Js10-10 Jews step on leaders)

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
--------------
We give the OTHER VERSES supporting 3 verses in the
blessings mentioned in Dt33 and Dt34.
=================================================================
VERSE-1  TEXT OF VERSE     VERSE-2 FURTHER DETAILS
======== ================= ======================================
Dt34-12c Wonders to Jews   Dt09-17 Broke tablets*10
Dt33-29c Enemies falsify   Js09-09 Givonim hide identity*1
Dt33-29d Jews step on high Js10-10 Jews step on conquered kings*2


NOTES
-----
*1 Recall that the Givonim impersonated themselves
   so as to fall Joshua into making a treaty with
   them. Thus the phrase YOUR ENEMIES WILL FALSIFY
   THEMSELVES is a blessing that the enemies will
   fear the Jews.

*2 So the other verses JEWS STEP ON THE NECKS OF THE
   CONQUERED KINGS clarifies the word HIGH in Moses
   blessing AND YOU WILL STEP ON THE HIGH PLACES

   HIGH PLACES is a metaphor referring to the HIGH
   PEOPLE OF SOCIETY (The TOP or HEADS--the leaders)

-------------------------------------------
*10 Rashi makes a pun on Ex34-01 or Dt10-02
    and quotes God as saying
    ---------------------------------------
    Congratulations on breaking the tablets
    ---------------------------------------

    But Rashi did not derive the fact that
    God approved of breaking the tablets
    from a pun on Ex34-01 and Dt10-02

    Rather we derive Gods approval of Moses
    breaking the tablets from the EXPLICIT
    command to PLACE THE BROKEN TABLETS IN
    THE ARK.

    Thus God explicitly commanded to commemorate
    the breaking of the tablets. It is this explicit
    command that shows that God approved of the
    breaking.
