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

------- ----------------------- --------- ------------------
COMMENTS

*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.
