VERSE: Lv22-03d

====================== Lv22-03d ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently comments by making broad database queries
and noting patterns.

EXAMPLE Lv22-03d
-------------------------
We make a query of when I AM GOD is stated in a
commandment

We find that I AM GOD (or FEAR GOD I AM GOD) is
stated in a Biblical commandment if its performance
is private not public. In such a case there is no
fear of people for violation. Hence the Torah emphasizes
I AM GOD to let people know that God is  watching
over them.

A further subtlety revealed in the attached list is
that if the commandment performance is TOTALLY
HIDDEN then the fuller phrase FEAR THE LORD I AM
GOD is used. Details are compactly presented in the
list below.

VERSE   COMMANDMENT INVOLVED  *1
======= ========================================================
Lv18-03 Sexual sins
Lv19-02 Holiness obligations
Lv19-04 Prohibition of making personal idols
Lv19-16 Dont avoid saving your friend if he is in danger
Nu15-41 Making Tzitzith to REMIND ONE OF ALL COMMANDMENTS
------  ----------------------------------------------
Lv19-14 Dont put a stumbling block before the blind*10
Lv19-32 Stand before the elderly*10
Lv25-17 Dont tease people*10
Lv25-36 Dont (directly) take  interest on loans*10
Lv25-43 Dont overwork your slave*10

NOTES
-----
*1 All the commandments and prohibitions in this list
   have an element of HIDDENNESS. They are not sins
   in public  (For example if you arent wearing Tzitzith
   it is something public but the fact that you dont
   use the tzitzith to remind you of the other
   commandments is private). Hence since ONLY GOD can
   see what you do in private the commandment concludes
   I AM GOD *10 In this case the commandment to wear
   Tzitzith is coupled with the requirement that the
   Tzitzith remind one of all commandments of God

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------

*10 There are five commandments that have the fuller
    phrase FEAR YOUR LORD I AM GOD -- in these 5
    commandments the performance is TOTALLY HIDDEN
    (While in the other commandments there is a HIDDEN
    and PUBLIC component)

    Let us look at a few examples:
    - Whether I wear Tzitzith is a public phenomena;
    Wheter they remind me of all the commandments
    is private

    - Sexual sins are usually privately done, though
    a few people know about them

    By contrast
    - The difference between teasing someone and
    giving constructive criticism is TOTALLY HIDDEN
    (dependent on intention) and not public

    - The difference between OVERWORKING a slave
    and giving him meaningful assignments is TOTALLY
    A MATTER OF INTENTION.

    So indeed I AM GOD, and FEAR YOUR LORD I AM GOD
    are said on commandments that have some, or total,
    aspects of hiddenness
