VERSE: Lv25-08a

======================= Lv25-08a ===============================

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 1: Lv25-08a
-------------------
Verse Lv25-08 states
----------------------------------------------
And you shall count SEVEN SABBATHS OF YEARS to you,
seven times seven years; and the space of the
seven sabbaths of years
shall be to you forty and nine years.
----------------------------------------------

Rashi clarifies the capped phrase
----------------------------------
SEVEN SABBATHS OF YEARS
----------------------------------

by citing an OTHER VERSE which gives
further details. Lv25-01:04 states
-------------------------------------------------
And the Lord spoke to Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,
Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them,
When you come into the land which I give you,
then shall the land keep a sabbath to the Lord.
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years
you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit;
But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest
to the land, a sabbath for the Lord; you shall not
sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
--------------------------------------------------

Rashi further cites Dt15-01:02
------------------------------------------
At the end of every seven years
you shall create a RELEASE-YEAR
And this is the manner of the RELEASE-YEAR;
Every creditor who lends anything to
his neighbor shall release it; he shall
not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother;
because it is called the Lord’s release.
------------------------------------------

In summary Rashi shows that the phrase SABBATH YEARS
in Lv25-08 refers to both the
- LOAN-RELEASE years which happen every 7 years
- the LAND SABBATICAL years(when no agriculture is done)
  which also happens every 7 years.

NOTES
-----

*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.

*7 Lv05-16 and Lv05-18 have almost identical words
   Hence we can use the ALIGNMENT WORD MEANING method
   also. However the OTHER VERSE method suffices here.

*8 Both Ex39-30:31 and Ex28-36:37 speak about
   -----------------------------------------
   The Tzitz is held
   by Azure threads;
   these Azure threads fold over the Turban
   ------------------------------------------

----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -------------------
*10 Rashi brings further OTHER VERSES
   - Lv07-34 tells us that Priests eat BREASTS of all
     Peace offerings
   - Lv07-07:11 tells us that Priests eat REMAINS of
     all Minchah offerings
   Rashi further explains why a law which is known
   GENERALLY (Priests consume BREASTS and MINCHAH) has
   to be repeated for the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS.
   ------------------------------------------------
   Since the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS were ONE TIME
   communal offerings with several differences from
   other offerings of the same type therefore
   the Bible had to explicitly reiterate that
   procedures traditionally done to these offerings
   were also done to the CONSECRATION OFFERINGS
   despite their unusual nature
   ------------------------------------------------

*11 Rashi also mentions the MINCHAH offering of
    Nachshon (Nu07-13) which was also brought on
    the same day as the consecration offerings when
    the temple was erected (Nu07-01). The details of
    how we know that the CONSECRATION offerings happened
    on the same day as the PRINCE OFFERINGS (Nu07)
    is discussed on http://www.Rashiyomi.com/lv09-01a.htm
