==================== PROCEDURE  CROSS REFERENCE =================

BACKGROUND
----------
One of the most powerful of Rashi methods is the method of
CROSS REFERENCE. The reason this method is powerful is because
people frequently seek to find a Rashi reason in the VERSE they
are studying without realizing that the simple reason for Rashi
lies in an other explicit verse.

THE 6 METHODS
-------------
We have outlined 6 methods of using OTHER VERSES
- DIRECT CITATIONS (as it says...)
- Cross referencing procedures(do this like that)
- Adding details #1): a FEW Jews came to Egypt;#2:70 Jews came)
- Contradictory verses: (2 verses say different things)
- Several Multiple  proofs
- Explaining a word meaning

THE TEXT
--------
Lv04-10 Offer the FAT OF PRIEST SIN OFFERING like the
                  FAT OF THE PEACE OFFERING
Lv04-20 ...do to the COMMUNAL  SIN OFFERING like the
                     PRIEST SIN OFFERING
Lv04-26 offer the FAT of the GOAT--SIN---OFFERING like
              the FAT of the (GOAT)PEACE OFFERING
Lv04-31 offer the FAT of the SHEEP SIN --OFFERING like
              the FAT of the SHEEP PEACE OFFERING

THE RASHI
---------
Rashi simply notes that the cross reference justifies
a GENERAL transference of laws. He uses this to infer
several missing laws and emphasis*2

THE LIST
--------
The list below indicates the exact law and cross reference
Further details and a 2nd important list are presented in the
footnotes
=================================================================
VERSE    SIMILARITY(Text of verse)                  New point
======== ========================================== =============
Lv04-35a FAT SHEEP sin OFFERING:FAT SHEEP peace*1   With ALYAH
Lv04-19a communal SIN OFFERING::priest SIN OFFERING Offer finger
Lv04-26a FAT GOAT sin OFFERING:FAT GOAT peace OFFER No ALYAH
Lv04-31a FAT GOAT sin OFFERING:FAT GOAT peace OFFER No ALYAH
Lv04-10a FAT priest sin OFFERING:FAT PEACE OFFERING Brings peace

NOTES
-----
*1 Lv04-19a
   Lv04-26a
   Lv04-31a
   Lv04-35a
   Lv04-10a

   We bring two supplementary lists

   An alignment sheds light on this
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   Lv04-26 Remove its fat like the fat of the       peace offer
   Lv04-31 Remove its fat like the fat of the SHEEP peace offer
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   Notice how Lv04-31 emphasizes the animal (SHEEP) while
   Lv04-26 does not. Rashi therefore explains that Lv04-26
   which discusses the GOAT SIN OFFERING is like the GOAT PEACE
   OFFERING while Lv04-31 which discusses the SHEEP GOAT
   OFFERING is like the SHEEP PEACE OFFERING.

   This is further clarified by the following list of offered
   fat objects
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   PEACE OFFERINGS                      SIN OFFERINGS
   Compared to sin offerings            Compared to each othr
   Lv04-26,31,35                        Lv04-19
   ----------------------------------   ---------------------
   Lv03-09 SHEEP      Lv03-14 GOAT      Lv04-08     Lv04-19
   from SHEEP         from GOAT         PRIEST      Nation
   -----------------  ---------------   ----------- ---------
   Alyah Fat          ??                ??          ??
   Intestinal Fat     Intestinal Fat    Intestinal  Intestinal
   Kidneys and fat    Kidneys & Fat     Kidney&fat  ??
   Finger of liver    finger of liver   finger livr ??
   ----------------------------------------------------------

   So now the point of all the cross references is clear:
   -- Sheep Sin offerings offer ALYAH fat like Sheep Peace offer
   -- Goat  Sin offerings dont offer ALYAH fat(Like GOAT PEACE)
   -- Nation sin offerings include Kidney and liver

  There is a further comparison (Lv04-10) of
  PRIEST SIN OFFERINGS and PEACE OFFERINGS.
  But as the list above shows,the 2 inner columns are the same!?
  So what is the point of the comparison?!

  Rashi suggests that the comparison is more general and eg
  implies  that just as PEACE OFFERINGS reflects a THANK YOU
  TO GOD ON BEING SAVED FROM DANGER AND ACHIEVING PEACE
  so to SIN OFFERINGS reflect a THANK YOU TO GOD ON BEING
  SAVED FROM DANGER AND ACHIEVING PEACE.

*2 The technical term for cross referencing procedures is
   SIMILARITY (HAYKESH). The Bible typically says that
   ------------------------------------
   A is to be treated like B
   ------------------------------------
   THere is controversy in the Talmud on whether this justifies
   - inferring the laws of A from B
   or also
   - inferring the laws of B from A

   Rashi mentions this in passing but this is an advanced  topic
