COMMENTS |
*1 Dt02-15 And when the sinners died
Dt02-16 God spoke to me
For further details see footnote *10
*2 We have here 6 verses forming one sentence.
---Dt10-02 And you should know today that it was not
- your children who saw Gods rebuke, his greatness,
- his big Hand and outstretched Arm,
---Dt10-03 his miracles, and great deeds that he did
- to Egypt, and to Pharoh their king and, to his nation
-----Dt10-04 AND THAT which He did to the Egyptian Army..
-----Dt10-05 AND THAT which He did for you in the Desert
-----Dt10-06 AND THAT which He did in the Korach rebellion
-Dt10-07 RATHER it is you yourself which have seen
these things
For translation of the Hebrew KI as RATHER in Dt10-07
and for treating the repeating keyword THAT like a
foonote see footnote *11
*3 ---Dt04-09 Watch yourself and watch your soul alot lest
you forget the things you (yourself saw) and lest you
forget your whole life; and you will tell them to
your children and to your grandchildren --
---Dt04-10 the day that you stood before God your Lord
in the desert when God said to me (Moses) gather
the congregation and I will tell them my words(the
decalogue/10 commandments) in order that they learn
to revere me all the days which they are alive on the
land; and they will also teach their children
-------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ----------------------
*10 There are two Rashis on these verses.
Dt02-16a comments on the fact that the two verses form
one sentence
Dt02-17a comments on the fact that it uses the verb
SPOKE vs CITE.
We have only dealt with Dt02-16a in this posting. The
other Rashi will be dealt with at another time.
*11 Take note of 2 items in our translation:
RASHI USES REPEATING KEYWORDS AS BULLETS
----------------------------------------
First note how the repeating keyword THAT
functions as a BULLET facilitating
the reading of this long sentence.
For a posting showing many examples of REPEATING
KEYWORDS functioning as BULLETS see
http://www.RashiYomi.Com/18-01d.htm)
RASHI TRANSLATES THE HEBREW WORD, KI, as RATHER
-----------------------------------------------
Also note that Rashi translated the Hebrew word KI in
Dt10-07 as RATHER. In fact the Hebrew word KI has
7 meanings.
For the 7 meanings of KI see the posting
