VERSE: Gn28-04a

================= RASHI CROSS REFERENCES CITATIONS ==============

BACKGROUND
----------
One of the 6 fundamental Rashi techniques is the CITATION OF
CROSS REFERENCES. In this technique Rashi will take a statement
in one verse and SUPPORT/MODIFY/CONTRAST it with a CROSS
REFERENCE in another verse.

REFERENCE
---------
Read the 6 classes of Rashi rules at
http://www.Rashiyomi.Com/rules-01.htm

For a discussion of the six methods of cross referencing with
examples see http://www.RashiYomi.Com/other-20.htm

THE TEXT
--------
May God give you the blessings of Abraham to you & your children
to inherit the land of your sojournings that God gave to Abraham

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi cites the actual texts where God promised Abraham these
things. For example Gn26-18 states IN YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL
BE BLESSED ALL NATIONS. This corresponds to the statement
of Isaac in Gn28-03:04 AND YOU WILL BECOME A CONGREGATION
OF NATIONS

THE LIST
--------
Rashi cross reference 2 or 3 phrases. We add to this list
of cross references. Thus this posting illustrates method
5 of the technique of OTHER VERSES; the presentation of
MULTIPLE CONFIRMATIONS
=================================================================
VERSE   TEXT OF VERSE WHERE   SIMILAR PHRASE IN Gn28-04
======= ===================== ===================================
Gn22-17 For I will BLESS YOU  God will give you ABES BLESSINGS
Gn22-18 Your CHILDREN BLESSD  God will BLESS..YOU & YOUR CHILDREN
Gn13-17 Ill give you the land Youll inherit land of sojournings
Gn15-16 children will return  Youll inherit land of sojournings*1
Gn17-04 a father of nations   become a congregation of nations*2

NOTES
-----
*1 The full text of Gn15-13:16 is
   --------------------------------------------------------
   Your children will be SOJOURNERS in a land not theirs...
   ..and I will judge this land...and the 4th generation
   of your children will return there (to the land of
   their sojournings to inherit it)
   --------------------------------------------------------

   The above words echo the words of Gn28-04 which state
   -----------------------------------------------------
   You (and your children) will inherit the land
   of their sojournings
   -----------------------------------------------------

*2 This last phrase belongs to Gn28-03. Rashi seems to cross
   reference the whole statement of Isaac Gn28-03:04. The
   full text of Gn17-04 is AND YOU WILL BECOME A FATHER OF
   NATIONS (Rashi cites the beginning of Gn17-02:04 AND I
   WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT NATION...AND YOU WILL BECOME A
   CONGREGATION OF NATIONS
