SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to explain cross references
that occur in OTHER VERSES. The METHOD of other verses
employs a variety of vehicles to accomplish its goals.

EXAMPLE 1-2 Confirmation or further details from OTHER VERSES
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ex06-05b and Ex06-06c - Gods promise to redeem the Jews and
save them with great wealth - are confirmed by Gn15-14 where
God promises this to Abraham.

EXAMPLE 3-8 CITATION
--------------------
Ex08-11b and Ex08-15b which speak about Pharoh NOT LISTENING
AS GOD SAID is a citation of Ex07-04 where God said He would
harden Pharoh-s heart.

Similarly Ex12-25b and Ex13-11b which speak about BRINGING
JEWS TO THE PROMISED LAND AS GOD SAID is a citation of Ex07-04
where God promises to bring Jews to the promised land.

Similarly Ex14-12a the Jews complaint that WE SAID WE PREFERRED TO
STAY IN EGYPT cross references Ex05-21 where the Jews attack
Moses for asking for their freedom.

Similarly Dt15-06a where God promises to BLESSS THE JEWS IF
THEY LISTEN TO THE COMMANDMENTS AS HE PROMISED cross references
a citation from Dt28-03 where He so promised.

EXAMPLE - CONFIRMATION / FURTHER DETAILS
----------------------------------------
Ex06-20a which mentions that AMRAM the grandsom of Levi
married his aunt cross references Nu26-59 where we are
told that Amram-s wife, Yocheved, was in fact Levi-s daughter

EXAMPLE - MULTIPLE PROOFS
-------------------------
In Ex06-04b God criticizes Moses for wanting IMMEDIATE
fulfillment of prophecy. God points out that the Patriarchs
did not demand IMMEDIATE fulfillment. This does not refer
to ONE OTHER VERSE but rather Gods case is strengthened by
MULTIPLE other verses---since the fact that EACH of the
patriarchs behaved this way makes Gods criticism look stronger.
Hence this is an example of MULTIPLE PROOFS FROM OTHER VERSES

LIST290a
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-04

List of verses showing   Patriarchs no-ask immediate fulfillment*1
PERSON VERSE Text of verse--promise of Redemption
Abraham Gn17-08 Abraham is promised Israel/redeem EVENTUALLY
Isaac Gn26-03 Isaac is promised Israel/redeem EVENTUALLY
Jacob Gn35-12 Jacob is promised Israel/redeem EVENTUALLY
---- ------- --------------------------------------------
Moses Ex05-23 Moses complains on lack of IMMEDIATE redemption*1
COMMENTS
*1 This list contrasts the behavior of the Patriarchs vs Moses
- Both Moses and the Patriarchs were promised Israel and
redemption

- None of the Patriarchs ever saw the redemption. Each
realized that the promise was EVENTUAL

- But Moses complained at the first sight of something wrong
Hence we see that Moses was not on the prophecy level of
the patriarchs. For further details see *10

Thus this list gives MULTIPLE VERSE support for the
Rashi on Ex06-04b

I take note that some people disagree and find this view
insulting to Moses---but I bring strong proofs to show
its veracity.

COMMENTS
*1 Rashi states the following: "If MOTHERS make mistakes it
is because they raise children; if SINGLE women make
mistakes it is because they try to pick people up"
Rashi should be perceived as giving ILLUSTRATIONS of
why being without children is disgraceful for women

*2 Jacob did not NEED permission to leave with HIS wife
But his father-in-law would perceive it as STEALING
his daughter.

*3 Gn27-41 states that Esauv hated Jacob for stealing the
blessing. Gn27-44 states that after a few years this
hatred would subside. Hence Gn33-09 with its statement
I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY confirms these other 2 verses.

*4 Rashi is NOT commenting on the MERE coincidence that
Shimon and Levi are called BROTHERS in two places.
-Gn49-05 talks about Shimon and Levi KILLING and
PLUNDERING
-Gn34 also talks about SHIMON and Levi KILLING
and plundering.
Thus the cross reference is clear. The accident
that they are called BROTHERS in both places
simply spices up the correspondence.
