VERSE: Ex04-14a

======================= Ex04-14a ==============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will frequentlly make a comment by making broad
database inquiries. A database inquiry is simply a question
addressed to a large databank---typically a large collection
of verses. Thus DATABASE methods typically span many diverse
verses.

EXAMPLE Ex04-14a
----------------
Today we ask the query
----------------------------------
When God LOSES HIS TEMPER, what
happens as a consequence.
----------------------------------

The query uncovers the following
(1)Dt29-26 God LOST HIS TEMPER on this land
and BROUGHT A CURSE ON IT

(2) Nu22-22 God LOST HIS TEMPER on Bilam
In Nu31-08 we read about the military
assasination of Bilam

(3)Nu32-13 God LOST HIS TEMPER on the
slander of the spies and didn't allow
entry to Israel until that generation
died.

(4) Nu12-09:10 God LOST HIS TEMPER at
Aaron and Miryam for slandering Moses
and Miryam was punished with leprosy

(5) Ex04-14 God LOST HIS TEMPER
at Moses and said AARON THE LEVITE
Will speak for you.

Rashi states as follows
-----------------------------------
Notice in the other verses how
God's LOST OF TEMPER is immediately
followed by some type of punishment.
Hence we assume the phrase AARON
THE LEVITE in Ex04-14 also indicates
a punishment. Apparently God would
have made Moses the priestly tribe
and Aaron would have remained a Levite;
but because Moses sinned (he requested
not to go) God LOST HIS TEMPER and
gave the Priesthood to Aaron

NOTES
-----
*1 (Rashi Ex04-14a)
   Notice in the other verses how
God's LOST OF TEMPER is immediately
followed by some type of punishment.
Hence we assume the phrase AARON
THE LEVITE in Ex04-14 also indicates
a punishment. Apparently God would
