*1 God-s point is not that God didn't tell the Patriarchs his name,
but rather that God had NOT BEEN KNOWN by that name. In other
words God made promises to the Patriarchs (such as promise of
Israel and redemption from Egypt) but the Patriarchs never
saw these promises fulfilled (Hence God had NOT BEEN KNOWN by
his ability to create--that is they hadnt seen it fulfilled).

In the context, Moses is being reprimanded for wanting
IMMEDIATE fulfillment of prophecy.

*2 Rashi is Simple -- Moses was shown the Candellabrah design
which was sculptored from one piece. From the fact that
the verse explicitly mentions this we infer that Moses had
difficulty in comprehending the design and hence God had
to show it to him.

*3 P-A-R means to PRAISE. The interactive tense means to DARE--
that is, Moses DARED Pharoh to specify a time when the
plague would stop--if the plague stopped at that time
then Gods greatness would be revealed and He would be
PRAISED.


*4 B-R-Ch means to BLESS. Interactive BLESSING means HE PATS
HIMSELF ON THE BACK (He convinces himself that what he
is doing is correct)

*1 Here is the way to use this list. We use the first row

Verse Column
------------
First we look up the verse Ex19-22a AND ALSO THE PRIESTS
WILL SEPARATE.

Text Column
-----------
We see the text---- PRIESTS separate.

Also Column
-----------
This column indicates that ALSO includes the FIRSTBORN
(who functioned as priests).

So the verse is read as follows
--------------------------------------------
God told Moses: The Priests ALSO (besides the firstborn)
will separate
--------------------------------------------

In other words the word ALSO is interpreted to include
the FIRSTBORN besides the PRIEST. The FIRSTBORN are
EXTRA to the priest.

To make this easier to see I have CAPPED both FIRSTBORN
and PRIESTS.

*2 So here without the word ALSO I would say that God punishes
nations which subjugate us. With the word ALSO I say that God
both punishes the nation AND with 10 plagues AND with letting
the Jews out with wealth.

*3 God criticized Moses for wanting an IMMEDIATE fulfillment
of the prophecy that the Jews will be redeemed. God said
I ALSO gave prophecies to the Patriarchs (And they did
not demand immediate fulfillment)

*4 7:2--7 Kosher animals vs 2 non-kosher animals--
is only mentioned by the ANIMALS. The word ALSO
implies the 7:2 ratio was preserved by the birds ALSO.

*5 Just as when Sarah couldn't have children she gave her
husband(Abraham) her maid (Hagar) so too when Rachel
could have children she gave her husband her maid

*6 Laban had tricked Jacob into marrying Leah vs. Rachel.

*7 Jacob had tricked Isaac into blessing him. Isaac says
he is ALSO blessed. In other words, EVEN if he hadnt
tricked me he would still be blessed.

*8 The Non-jews complained about the lack of food in
the desert. The verse continues THEY RETURNED AND
COMPLAINED, ALSO THE JEWS. The word ALSO connotes
that the Jews complained with the same cynicism
as the non-jews.

*10 The three methods are
- ALSO connotes an EXTRA extraneous object
- ALSO connotes a DERIVED object
- ALSO connotes a SIMILAR RELATIONSHIP or method

See http://www.Rashiyomi.com/dt23-19c.htm
for a previous presentation of this list

*1 The preceding chapter and paragraphs speak about the
requirement to observe the law

*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

*10 For a broader discussion of this read my essay

------------------------------------

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

*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.
