*1 Rashi also makes  comments on the  deliberate
misspelling of this word. MISSPELLING is a Biblical
technique. The technical name is METAPLASMUS. Examples
may be found in LIST080a which includes Ex04-02a

*2 Gn15-12:14 ....As the sun set a coma fell on Abraham and
all of a sudden a fear, great darkness, fell on him
and God said...Surely know that your descendants will
be foreigners in a land that doesnt belong to them---
and they will be enslaved -- and they will torture
them 400 years--and also the nation they serve I
will judge and then they will leave with a big reward

Thus THIS night of redemption refers to the redemption
mentioned in the above prophecy (Perhaps there is
also a pun on the darkness)

*3 See LIST210c below

*4 In other words the word THIS makes the contents of the
chapter SPECIFIC and FOCUSED...the  exact language
in the chapter must be used in freeing people from
vows (Normally Biblical language are generalized)

For further details see footnote *10

*5 Thus Rivkah had been praying for children....yet
when she experienced the infants fighting each other
in the womb she asked WHY AM I THIS (That is WHY AM
I PRAYING FOR CHILDREN if I go thru this) and the
answer came back that they would be great nations.

*10
Rashi also makes another point: Moses used the
language THIS IS WHAT GOD SAID while other
prophets used the language THUS SAID GOD (THIS
is more specific than THUS).

For a database layout of introductory prophetic phrases
used by MOSES vs OTHER  PROPHETS see LIST605f & LIST605g

It is clear from this list that this rule is only approximate
and not absolute. Hence we believe  that Rashi rejected
this explanation.

In general we believe that Rashis 1st explanation (when
there are 2 explanations) can be refuted and should not
be accepted

Better yet see the whole DEFICIENT-FULL series at
http://www.Rashiyomi.com/calendar1.htm

The full deficient series was presented in May 2000

*1 I have simply listed 10 verses with complaints
I have not always followed the Talmudic literal wording
but the  above list seems the simplest account of
which 10 complaints are spoken of

*2 Based on Dt09-22 there were two separate incidents
- one incident at TAVAYRAH (Nu11-01:03)
- one incident at KIVROTH TAAVAH (Nu11-04:34)
Hence I have listed each of these as separate complaints*10

*10 The question remains as to WHICH complaint Nu11-01:03
refers to.

Nu11-01:03 occurs after Nu10-35:36 which speaks
about Gods help for victory. It therefore seems reasonable
to associate Nu11-01:03 with a complaint after victory

(The Talmud in Arachin may be suggesting that this complaint
happened after the Red Sea salvation--the Jews complained
