SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- A powerful but simple Rashi method is the CITATION or CROSS- REFERENCING of an OTHER VERSE for the purpose of adding FURTHER DETAILS to a verse we are studying. We call this the OTHER VERSE method. There are three submethods to the OTHER VERSE method. If the verse actually CITES or refers to an OTHER VERSE we call this the SUBMETHOD of CITATION. If the OTHER VERSE explains the meaning of some term in the first verse we call this the SUBMETHOD of MEANING. If the first verse does not cite an other verse and if no meaning is explained then we call this the SUBMETHOD of FURTHER DETAILS since the 2nd verse either confirms the first verse or typically adds FURTHER DETAILS to the first verse EXAMPLES Ex29-29a Ex29-29b Ex29-29c ----------------------------------- Ex29-29 states ----------------------------------------- And the holy garments of Aaron - shall be his SONS’ after him, - to be ANOINTED in them, - and to FILL him in thru them. ----------------------------------------- Rashi ----------------------------------------- The three phrases of this verse are parallel in content and phraseology to the priest induction ceremony of Lv21-10 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - And he who is the high priest among his BROTHERS, - upon whose head the ANOINTING oil was poured, and - who is FILLEDD to put on the garments, .... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We consequently have 3 inferences 1st Rashi --------- - The phrase SHALL BE HIS SONS' AFTER HIM in Ex29-29 means - The priest CHOSEN TO BE HIGH PRIEST (Lv21-10 2nd Rashi --------- - The phrase TO ANNOINT IN THEM in Ex29-29 means - the High priest induction requires ANNOINTING IN OIL ON HEAD (Lv21-10) 3rd Rashi --------- Both verses (Ex29-29 and Lv21-10) speak about the requirement for an inducted High Priest to FILL IN, IN THE HIGH PRIEST GARMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------- The driving force behind all 3 Rashis is the OTHER VERSE. Further comments are made in the footnotes below. EXAMPLE Ex29-28a Ex29-28b ------------------------- Ex29-27:28 states ----------------------------------- And you shall sanctify the - BREAST of the WAVE offering, - and the SHOULD that is RAISED, - which is WAVED, and which is RAISED, of the ram of the consecration, of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons; And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ - by a STATUE forever from the people of Israel; - for it is an RAISING; - and it shall be an RAISING from the people of Israel - of the SACRIFICE OF THEIR PEACE OFFERINGS their offering to the Lord. ------------------------------------ Rashi ---------------------------------------------------- The various capped phrases in this verse are futher illuminated by an OTHER VERSE Lv07-34 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For the - WAVED BREAST and - the RAISED SHOULDER - have I taken from the PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, - from the SACRIFICES OF THEIR PEACE OFFERINGS and - have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons - by a STATUTE FOREVER from among the people of Israel. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We consequently have two inferences - When a PEACE OFFERING is made there is a STATUTE that even though the owners eat their own offering nevertheless the officiating priest receives the WAIVED BREAST and RAISED SHOULDER - The phrase FOR IT IS A RAISING in Ex29-27:28 refers to BOTH the WAIVED BREAST and RAISED SHOULDER (Since according to Lv07-34 BOTH are given to the priest ---------------------------------------------------- LIST210w presents other examples of verse pairs illuminating each other with further details | ||

*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. |
