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

EXAMPLE Ex03-18
---------------
In verse Ex03-18 God tells Moses
--------------------------------------
Tell the Jews that the God of their fathers
appeared has to me saying: I have VISITED on you
what was done in Egypt
---------------------------------------

Rashi cross references the CITATION from Gn50-24:25
---------------------------------------
Joseph told the Jews "God will VISIT you and
you will bring my body up from here."....
---------------------------------------

Hence the Rashi comment
----------------------------------------
Gods statement in Ex03-18 that he has VISITED
the Jews is a fullfilment of the PROPHECY in
Gn50-24:25 that the Jews will be VISITED
----------------------------------------

EXAMPLE Ex04-22:23
------------------
Verses Ex04-22:23 contain the prophecy God
instructed Moses to deliver to Pharoh. The
delivery of these prophecies is described over
the next few chapters in Exodus. Rashi presents
the CROSS-REFERENCED future CITATIONS. They
are as follows
---------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE    TEXT                     VERSE CROSS REFERENCE
-----    -----------------        ----- -----------------------
Ex04-22a Jews my 1stborn:ServeMe  Ex05-01    Let my people serve
Ex04-23a I said:Let them go       Ex07-26    "Thus says God"...
Ex04-23b I'll kill your 1stborn   Ex11-04:09 10th plague:1st born
---------------------------------------------------------------

I think Rashi clear. For example
- The threat to kill Pharoh's 1st born was carried out when
Moses brought the 10th plague the plague of the 1st born
- The threat to tell Pharoh that "God said--Let my people go"
is fulfilled when Moses on numerous occassions began a plague
with "Thus says God."


EXAMPLE Ex12-32a
-----------------
In Verse Ex12-31:32a Pharoh tells Moses
------------------------------------
Get out of my country....also TAKE YOUR
LIVESTOCK as you have requested
------------------------------------

The request to take LIVESTOCK cross references
a CITATION from Ex10-25
------------------------------------
You [Pharoh] will also give us
UP offerings and SHARED-MEAL OFFERINGS
that we may do for the Lord our God
------------------------------------


EXAMPLE Ex12-31d
----------------
In verse Ex12-31d Pharoh tells Moses and Aaron
--------------------------------
Leave Egypt as YOU have spoken
--------------------------------

Rashi clarifies this mean
--------------------------
Leave without restrictions
--------------------------

Rashi cites several verses where the difference
of approach in allowance to leave between Moses
and Pharoh is illustrated Ex10-08:11 states
----------------------------------------
Pharoh: Who will LEAVE
Moses:  Children and elders with cattle for a holiday
Pharoh: Only Elders need go on a God-Holiday
-----------------------------------------

Consequently, when Pharoh says GO AS YOU HAVE SAID
the contrastive reference is to citations where
Pharoh allowed leaving but with restrictions.

EXAMPLE Ex12-35a
----------------
Verse Ex12-35a states
------------------------------------
And the Jews did as Moses SAID
and they borrowed from Egypt
silver and gold utensils and clothing
------------------------------------

Rashi sees the word SAID as a cross-reference
to a CITATION. We find this CITATION in Ex11-02
--------------------------------------------
....[Pharoh will soon send from Egypt...therefore]
Please speak to the Jews...have them lend
from their [Egyptian] friends silver and gold
utensils and clothing
--------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE Ex13-05b
----------------
Verse Ex13-05 states
---------------------------------------
When God brings you to the land of
the Canaanites....that HE SWORE TO YOUR
FOREFATHERS TO GIVE YOU  a land oozing
with milk and fruit juices
---------------------------------------

Rashi identifies the CAPPED PHRASE as a CITATION
Rashi cites 3 VERSES, one for each forefather
-- Gn15-18 for Abraham
-- Gn26-03 for Isaac
-- Gn28-13 for Jacob
In each of these verses a promise is made to give
the Jews Israel corresponding to the CITATION made
in Ex13-05.
