The TWO BULLETS create an emphasis on
two aspects of the Tribal leaders.

-(BULLET 1) They were the Leaders in Egypt (Ex05-14:19)
(Which took the brunt for non-production)

-(BULLET 2) They were also the Chiefs of Staff
(Who took charge of the COUNTINGS of army members)
(Nu01)*10

*10
Without the BULLETS I would simply say that the
repetition is stylistic and not referring to anything
specific. It is the repeating Keywords which create
the BULLET atmosphere and drive Rashi to interpret
each one distinctly.

*1
Notice how the ONE for OXEN is out of sequence
It should be at the end of the line like so
------------------------------
- Oxen from the herd ONE
- Rams ONE
- Lambs ONE
------------------------------

A further point is that the ONE is
an attribute of OX FROM THE HERD. That is
the word ONE should not break up the
phrase OX FROM THE HERD
That is, it should have said
- - -- - - - - - - - - - -  -
ox from the herd, ONE
- - -- - - - - - - - - - -  -

vs
- - -- - - - - - - - - - -  -
ox ONE from the herd
- - -- - - - - - - - - - -  -

Rashi comments
---------------------------------
Since the ONE is out of sequence
it means UNIQUE (ONE of a KIND)
rather than numerically one
Thus the verse reads as so*10
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- UNIQUE oxen from the herd
- Rams ONE
- Lambs ONE
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
---------------------------------

*10
NOTE: A traditional approach
to Rashi sees Rashi as BOTHERED
or ASKING QUESTIONS about EXTRA
WORDS (After all, OX is singular
and hence the ONE is unnecessary!)
But such an approach is incorrect---
for many objects are enumerated as ONE
and this is simply a matter of Biblical
style---there is no indication for example
that ONE in the following verse means SPECIAL/UNIQUE
------------------------------------------------
Lv26-26 10 women will bake in ONE OVEN but they
will take it out in clumps (because the bread
will fall apart)
------------------------------------------------

Rather what is bothering Rashi in this verse is that
the numerical attribute ONE breaks up the verse phrase
(OX FROM THE HERD)

*1
The consequent Rashi comments are obvious. Rashi states
-------------------------------------------------
a) The princes brought both GIFTS and OFFERINGS
b) In each case the bringing had 3 distinct stages
b1) Leaders bring
b2) God orders to accept
b3) Moses accepts
Moses did not accept the item immediately without
Gods approval *10
-------------------------------------------------

*10
(Perhaps Rashi had in mind the
voluntary UNAUTHORIZED offering of incense by
Aarons' sons which resulted in their death (Lv09)
Hence in this case Moses acted properly and cautiously
and did not accept until authorized.

*1 There is a subtlety in this Rashi. Verse Ex23-24 states
------------------------------------------------
- Dont bow to THEIR(the nation's) gods
- Dont worship THEM (the gods)
- Rather demolish THEM (who?The nations?or their gods?)
- break THEIR (the nation's) monument altars
------------------------------------------------
Rashi's point is indicated in the parenthetical comments
The DEMOLISH command refers to DEMOLISH the IDOLS
not DEMOLISH the NATIONS!

*2 Actually Ex24-01:02 states
----------------------------------------
the rest of you bow from afar
and Moses alone will go up without the nation
----------------------------------------

This almost totally parallels Ex20-18 which states
----------------------------------------
The nation stood afar and Moses approached
the dark cloud where God was
----------------------------------------

*3 Rashi ALSO mentions the ORDINANCES of Shabbath, Noachides
and Honoring ones parents. The MAIN driving force
behind Rashi in interpreting Ex24-03 is the OTHER
VERSE method. The OTHER VERSE method could also refer to
Ex16-28:29 which mentions the Sabbath. I simply chose the
MAIN OTHER VERSE Ex15-25 that also mentions ORDINANCES.

*4 (Rashi)HUNT and AMBUSH are simply two good examples of
PREMEDITATION. The Torah distinguishes the treatment
of a PREMEDITATED murder from a NEGLIGENT murder.

*5 Sifsay Chachamim cracks a joke on Ex29-29
--------------------------------------------
to ANNOINT (by oil) IN THEM (= the clothes)
--------------------------------------------
Lv21-10 makes it clear that the OIL is poured on the
PRIESTS HEAD. But, the WEARING of HIGH PRIEST CLOTHES is
also a requirement for the HIGH PRIEST induction.

Rashi further explains
-----------------------------------------------
Annointing is RELATED to SOCIETAL APPOINTMENT
and hence ANNOINT IN THE CLOTHES could easily
be a pun--POUR OIL ON HEAD and GET APPOINTED
by wearing the High Priest clothes
-----------------------------------------------

*6 Lv07 states that the owners of Peace offerings
eat the peace offerings. However Lv07-34 states
that THE PRIEST RECEIVES THE WAIVED BREAST and
THE RAISED SHOULDER.

This illuminates the phrase in Ex29-28
------------------------------------------
It is a statute FOR the priests FROM the Jews
-------------------------------------------
That is, although the Jewish owners eat their
sacrifice nevertheless part of it goes to the
priests.

Ex29-28 mentions that the GIFT IS A RAISING
But Lv07-34 states that BOTH
- the WAIVED BREAST
- the RAISED SHOULDER
are priestly gifts.
Hence the RAISING in Ex29-28 refers to both
the BREAST/SHOULDER.

*7 Lv05-16 and Lv05-18 have almost identical words
Hence we can use the ALIGNMENT WORD MEANING method
also. However the OTHER VERSE method suffices here.

*8 Both Ex39-30:31 and Ex28-36:37 speak about
-----------------------------------------
The Tzitz is held
by Azure threads;
these Azure threads fold over the Turban
------------------------------------------

*9 Hence the Rashi
----------------------------------------
The princes brought their gifts IN THE SAME ORDER
as their encampment order [We infer this because
these two orders of the 12 tribes are identical
leading us to infer that one was copied from the other]

*10 Rashi brings further OTHER VERSES
- Lv07-34 tells us that Priests eat BREASTS of all
Peace offerings
- Lv07-07:11 tells us that Priests eat REMAINS of
all Minchah offerings
Rashi further explains why a law which is known
GENERALLY (Priests consume BREASTS and MINCHAH) has
to be repeated for the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS.
------------------------------------------------
Since the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS were ONE TIME
communal offerings with several differences from
other offerings of the same type therefore
the Bible had to explicitly reiterate that
procedures traditionally done to these offerings
were also done to the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS
despite their unusual nature
------------------------------------------------

*11 Rashi also mentions the MINCHAH offering of
Nachshon (Nu07-13) which was also brought on
the same day as the consecration offerings when
the temple was erected (Nu07-01). The details of
how we know that the CONSECRATION offerings happened
on the same day as the PRINCE OFFERINGS (Nu07)
is discussed on http://www.Rashiyomi.com/lv09-01a.htm
