VERSE: Gn12-13a

====================== Pharohs Gifts to Abraham =================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
When Abraham & Sarah approached Egypt Abraham was nervous that
he would be killed so that the Egytians could marry Sarah.
Abraham states to Sarah
-Make believe you are my sister (so they wont have
-to kill me to marry you) in order that they
-TREAT ME NICELY and let me live
Gn12-16 states AND THE EGYPTIANS TREATED ABRAHAM NICELY
AND GAVE HIM GIFTS. So Rashi is Simple: He uses this OTHER VERSE,
Gn12-16 to interpret the request,TREAT ME NICELY in Gn12-13.

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
--------------
The new verse mentioned above is the first example on the list

Nu05-02b Expel impure from CAMP   Ex13-19    impure to dead*1


NOTES
-----
*1 First some background: There were 3 camps
   -- There was the TEMPLE which had the highest holiness
   -- Outside this was the CAMP OF LEVITES (Nu02-17)
   -- Outside this was the CAMP OF TRIBES (Nu02)
   These camps surrounded each others like concentric
   squares (The Temple in the center, the Levites
   surrounding them, the tribes surrounding the Levites)

  Nu05-02 states that ALL IMPURE PEOPLE should be expelled
  from the camp without specifying which one.Rashi-is-Simple
  - Lv13-46 states that the LEPOR should be ISOLATED. Hence
    he is expelled from ALL 3 camps

  - Ex13-19 states that Moses took the bones of Joseph with
    him. But Moses was a Levite and dwelled among the
    Levites. Hence we infer that someone who is impure
    because of contact with the dead may stay in the LEVITE
    camp but may not stay in the TEMPLE CAMP.

  - We find no permission for the Zav to be in the Levite
    camp and we do have a requirement for the Lepor to
    be isolated. Hence we infer that the Zav may dwell in
    the Israelite camp (so as to leave the lepor ALONE)
    but may not dwell in the Temple or Levite camp.

    The Talmud (Pesachim 67) goes into further details and
    alternative derivations but the above captures the
    flavor of the argument which is based on other verses.
