RASHIS COVERED: Ex10-01a Ex07-15a Ex08-17
============================= Ex10-01a ========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Sometimes Rashi will make sweeping pattern inferences from
broad database inquiries. We call this the Rashi method
of DATABASES.
EXAMPLE THE 10 PLAGUES
----------------------
As explained by Rav Hirsch, Rashi asks the following query
QUERY: Compare all INTRODUCTORY WARNING PHRASES in the
------ first 9 plagues
ANSWER: The introductory warning phrases look as follows
------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PLAGUE # VERSE TEXT: INTRODUCTORY WARNING PHRASE ATTACK ON
------- - -------- ------------------------------------ ---------
Blood 1 Ex07-15 IN MORNING: Stand by Pharoh on Nile SEA/AIR
BEASTS 4 Ex08-16 IN MORNING: Stand by Pharoh on Nile SEA/AIR
Hail 7 Ex09-13 IN MORNING: Stand by Pharoh SEA/AIR
------ - ------- --------------------------
Frogs 2 Ex07-26 COME TO PHAROH Humiliate
Plague 5 Ex09-01 COME TO PHAROH Humiliate
Locust 8 Ex10-01 COME TO PHAROH Humiliate
------ - ------- --------------------------
LICE 3 Ex08-12 NO INTRODUCTORY PHRASE PAIN
Boils 6 Ex09-08 No introductory phrase PAIN
Darknss 9 Ex11-21 No introductory phrase PAIN
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rashi makes 3 inferences (Also highlighted by Rav Hirsch)
Ex08-17b First note that each set of 3 plagues
correspond to a military sequence
- cut off water/air
- humiliate
- pain on people
Rashi also makes the following comments
Ex07-15a - The 1st,4th,7th plague attacked the Egyptian gods,
the Nile and sheep. Pharoh would worship the Nile
in the morning: Hence the introductory phrase
GO IN MORNING STAND BY PHAROH
Ex10-01a - The 2nd,5th,8th plagues was to humiliate Pharoh
Hence the introductory warning
