VERSE: Ex25-22b


RULE: Moses only received prophecies for the sake of the
community.


EXAMPLES
--------
(1) Dt02-16
        "And (only) when all the sinners died out did
        God (again) prophesy to me"

(2) Ex25-22b
    "And I will meet you between the Kruvim and speak to you
    All the things which I command the Jewish people"


NOTES
-----
*1 Technically Rashi reads Ex25-22b as a 2 clause sentence

------------------------------------------------------------
(a) "And I will meet you between the Kruvim and speak to you
(b) All the things which I command the Jewish people"
------------------------------------------------------------

The second clause (b) clearly shows that the prophesies were
only for the sake of Israel.


*2 This Rashi has generated a lot of confusion--
   Please see the main posting for details-Here is a summary
  Another approach to this verse is to regard it as having a
GENERAL and PARTICULAR style
        GENERAL:        I will prophesy to you
        PARTICULAR:     But only what the Jews need

In particular the main posting gives many examples of the 13
rules of style of RABBI ISHMAEL


*3 In the main posting I show that the word VAV can mean
BOTH "the letter vav" as well as the word CLAUSE. Thus
Rashi simply says
        "The 2nd CLAUSE of this sentence (b) is extra
        There are many such extra CLAUSES in Biblical
        verses (and they follow the rule of GENERAL
        and PARTICULAR)
