VERSE: Lv26-11a
==================== Lv26-11a =======================================
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 Rashi METHOD of OTHER VERSES and the Rashi submethod
of FURTHER DETAILS
Lv26-11a
--------
Lv26-11 states
--------------------------------------------
I will place MY DWELLING PLACE in your midst
--------------------------------------------
The phrase DWELLING PLACE is illuminated by
the OTHER VERSES Ex25-08 and Ex29-44:45
--------------------------------------------
- Jews will make me a TEMPLE and I will DWELL in your midst
- I will inaugurate the TEMPLE...and I will DWELL in the
midst of the Jewish people
--------------------------------------------
These OTHER VERSES clarify the meaning of the phrase
DWELLING PLACE IN YOUR MIDST as meaning the
TEMPLE.

NOTES
-----
*1 We ASKED you to go but didnt HARASS you till you went
*2 The point being that the city wasnt named for the symbolic
use of SEVEN (SHIVAH) lambs to seal the treaty(BUt rather
the SEVEN lambs symbolically affirm the OATH=SHEVA for
which the city was named)
*3 Gn27-27b refers to a BLESSED FRAGRANT FIELD while Lv23-40
refers to a TREE OF SPLENDOR.*10
*4
Reuven did not actually sleep with
Bilhah. Rather his fathers favorite
bedware was kept on Bilhah's bed since
Bilhah, Rachels concubine, reminded him
of her after Rachels death. Reuven felt
that his father should be living with
Leah, since Leah was a bonafide wife.
Reuven felt it insulting that Jacob
preferred a concubine vs a real wife.
Hence he switched the bedware from
Bilhahs bed to Leahs bed in order
to talk his father out of his behavior
For our translation of Gn49-04 see footnote *12
*5 Gn45-05 also supports this.
*6 Rashis real point is to avoid confusion
The phrase WORDS OF LAW usually refers to Gods words
of law, the Torah.
However in Ex18-19c and Ex18-16 it refers to the
LAWSUITS of the people.
*7 In LIST901i we have shown that the root Pay-Resh-Kuph means
- UNLOAD (in active mode)
- YANK OFF (in intense mode
- SLIP OFF (in intensive mode)
Since the verse is translated as
------------------------------------------
Aaron asked them to YANK the Jewelery off their wives
------------------------------------------
Rashi comes to the conclusion that Aaron was interested
in a fight (YANK off wives) and was stalling for time.
Rashi learns this from the word YANK. This OTHER VERSE
motivates Rashi to reinterpret several verses as also
indicating stalling tactics. More specifically Rashi
explains the following as stalling tactics
- Aaron built an altar---RASHI: To stall for time
- Aaron said: A holiday TOMORROW--RASHI: To stall for time
- Aaron said: A holiday to GOD--RASHI: He was hoping Moses
would return and they would have a real holiday to God.
*8 It was Malbim's genious to bring an extra OTHER VERSE
- Ex09-31 shows BARLEY ripens first in EARLY SPRING
- Ex34-22 shows WHEAT ripens in LATE Spring.
Malbim/Rashi applies this distinction to Lv23
- Lv23-10 describes the FIRST BARLEY brought on Passover
- Lv23-17 describes the FIRST WHEAT brought on Pentecost
--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------
*10 Rashi uses the languages
-------------------------------
this refers to an APPLE orchard
-------------------------------
But apple orchards are not known for their fragrance.
Rather the reference is probably to an
--------------
ETHROG orchard
--------------
which has a characteristic hypnotic fragrance. The
Hebrew word for ETHROG is GOLDEN APPLE.(The beauty
of fragrance of an ETHROG ORCHARD was mentioned by
the Rav, Rabbi Soloveitchick).
*11 Rashi citing the Talmud states
-------------------------------------------------------
Jacob came whole
- from LIMP
- from Monetary gifts to Esauv(Jacob had all his money)
- with all his learning
-------------------------------------------------------
But there 3 items all emanate from Gn32-32 where we
are told that Jacob fought with an angel and won.
Since he won
- he did not lose money
- he did not lose his Jewishness
*12 Gn49-04 is translated by us as
-------------------------------------
you played with your fathers beds
-------------------------------------
Note the PLURAL BEDS vs BED...this shows that
two BEDS (not the one bed of BILHAH) was involved
We translate the Hebrew root &LH (to go up) as
&LL (To play with).
- THere are no other cases where &LH means &LL
- but interchanges of 1-2-Hey and 1-2-2 roots
does frequently occur in the Bible
- Finally the verse wouldnt make sense if &LH
was translated as GO UP since the phrase
-------------------------
Go Up on your fathers bed
-------------------------
couldnt refer to intimacy since intimacy
is always referred to as GOING DOWN instead
of GOING UP.
