VERSE: Gn18-06a

===================== Gn18-06a ==========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Gn18-06a speaks about taking COARSE FLOUR and FINE FLOUR
to prepare a meal. One of Rashis goals is to resolve such
contradictions in Biblical verses (COARSE vs FINE). One
method of resolution is to hypothesize 2 cases. Thus here
it is reasonable that FINE FLOUR is used to prepare the
cakes while COARSE flour is used to clean the pots.

A list of verse pairs which cotnradict each other
The contradictions are resolved by viewing
the 2 verses as two aspects of the same item.

VERSE-1 VERSE-2 HOW THE TWO TEXTS ARE COMBINED
======= ======= ========================================
Gn18-06 Gn18-06 FINE FLOUR for food;COARSE for pot*2
Dt08-02 Lv26-06 WHEN OBSERVANT God protects;ELSE not*1
Nu21-21 Dt02-26 MOSES sent delegates on behalf of ISRAEL
Ex20-19 Ex19-20 Gods voice in HEAVEN;His FIRE on EARTH
Ex40-35 Ex25-22 Moses at Entrance; Gods by Crubim
Ex28-37 Ex39-30 Priest MASK went AROUND and OVER head
Ex25-03 Ex30-12 TAXES for base;VOLUNTARY for vessels
Nu04-05 Nu04-15 PRIESTS pack; KEHATHITES carry*10

NOTES
-----
*1 See Lv26-03. Thus Lv26-03:06 explicitly states that
   when we observe, God will remove wild animals. Dt08-02
   by contrast, explains that conquest of Israel will
   happen slowly FOR IF IT HAPPEEND QUICKLY WILD ANIMALS
   WOULD COME (because the Jews moral nature was not
   yet  perfected and the protection of Lv26-03:06
   does not yet apply) *11

*2 COARSE flour was used in cooking to wash the pot
   sides to clear it from rust producing agents and
   rotted food particles.


----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------

*10 Rashis point is strengthened by the abrupt change
    of subject
    -----------------------------------------------
    Nu04-04 This is the job the KEHATHITES
    Nu04-05 The PRIESTS come and cover the articles
    ...
    Nu04-15 ..and AFTERWARDS the KEHATHITES come
    -----------------------------------------------

    If one just reads Nu04-04 and Nu04-05 by themselves
    it appears as if the PRIESTS mentioned in Nu04-05
    refer back to the KEHATHITES mentioned in Nu04-04

*11 Interesting Rashi cites a verse in Job rather
    than the  explicit Lv26-03:06. Rashi also does
    not explicitly mention that he is using the rule
    of resolving 2 contradictory cases.
    But that IS what Rashi does. It seems rather
    straightforward to introduce Lv26-03:06. Rashi
    probably  expected the reader to know this verse
    since it comes in the great REBUKE---Rashi complements
    this verses with complementary verses in Job
