*8
   Dt01-30 & I(Moses) said: God will fight for you
   ------- the same way He did
   ---------------IN Egypt, in front of your sight
   Dt01-31--------& IN the Desert, which you saw
   ------- that God bore you like a parent does his child

   The keyword IN helps link the two verses together.

*7 --Dt11-10 For the land which you are coming to is not like
   Egypt where your agriculture depended on canals from the Nile
   --Dt11-11 The land you are coming to is mountainous...you
   obtain water from rain
   --Dt11-13 It is a land that God constantly watches; Gods Eyes
   are on it the whole year
   --Dt11-14 and this (obtaining rain) will happen when you
   listen to Gods commandments which I command you this day
   to love God and to serve him with all your heart and soul
   --Dt11-15 (It is only) THEN that God will give you rain in
   its season

   For other comments on these verses see footnote *14


*9
   Dt02-26 ---And Moses requested from the Sichonites
   Dt02-27 -------------Allow me to use your roads
   Dt02-28 ---------------------allow me to buy food/water
   Dt02-29 ---------------------the way [Edom sold me food]
   ---------------------until I pass your land

   For further elaboration see footnote *15

*14 NOTE: Dt10-13 does not begin IF you will listen then...
   Rather ot begins: AND THIS (The above) will happen
   WHEN you listen. It is the Hebrew word VHAYAH (and
   this will happen) which prompts Rashi to connect the
   verses.

   Thus Dt10-12, Dt10-13, Dt10-14 form
   a GENERAL-PARTICULAR-GENERAL form stating that God
   gives rain WHEN you observe commandments; it is THEN
   that God gives rain.

   For further examples of the
   GENERAL PARTICULAR GENERAL Style, one of the 13 style
   rules of Rabbi Ishmael see

*15 The Sifsay Chachamim, a commentary on Rashi makes the
    following points
    --It explicitly says in Nu20-14 that Moses requested
      permission from Edom, THE BROTHER OF ISRAEL, to
      pass thru the land.

      & Edom is explicitly identified with Esauv the Brother
      of Jacob in Gn36-01

      Thus the Nu20 story links to the Dt02 story.

   --But it explicitly says in Nu20 that
     * the Jews offered to BUY food (Nu20-19)
     * the Jews also requested use of roads (Nu20-19)
     * Edom refused to allow ROAD USE(Nu20-20 & Nu20-21)

   --If we couple this with the statement here (Dt02-29)
     ------------------------------------------------
     LET ME PASS AND BUY FOOD LIKE EDOM DID FOR ME
     ------------------------------------------------

   --then we conclude (based on the two sets of explicit
     verses) that
     * Edom did sell water & food
     * Edom did not allow Road use
   This uses the Rabbi Ishmael rule of resolving
   contradictory verses.


   We see that Rashi is also using the technique
   of OTHER VERSES. The two Rashis in Dt02-26:29 are
   based on the OTHER VERSES in Numbers 20 Here is how
   the Dt02 verses would read. Notice the alignment
   -------------------------------------------------
   Dt02-26 ---And Moses requested from the Sichonites
   Dt02-27 -------------Allow me to use your roads
   Dt02-28 ---------------------allow me to buy food/water
   Dt02-29 ---------------------the way [Edom sold me food]
   ---------------------until I pass your land
   --------------------------------------------------

   In conclusion Rashi(Dt02-29b) says that
   * Dt02-27 and Dt02-29 are linked
     ------------------------------------------
     Let me use your roads till I pass thru the land
     ------------------------------------------

   * Rashi (Dt02-29a) similarly says
     Dt02-28 and Dt02-29 are linked
     --------------------------------------------
     Allow me to buy food water like Edom sold me
     --------------------------------------------

   Rashi bases his interpretation
   on the OTHER VERSES and the
   RESOLUTION OF CONTRADICTIONS
