VERSE: Nu04-05a

==================== Nu04-05a ===========================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Nu04 tells us about the service of the Kehathites.
But a loose examination of the chapter Nu04 seems
to show contradictions. For we are told about

- PACKING up the temple items
- CARRYING the temple items
- A prohibition against TOUCHING the temple items

How can they PACK them without CARRYING THEM.

Rashi explains that this apparent contradiction is
easily resolved as soon as we carefully look at the
subjects of the sentences

-- The PRIESTS pack the TEMPLE ITEMS
-- THEN the KEHATHITES carry the packed items
-- Since the PRIESTS pack them the KEHATHITES dont
   touch the temple items (which would incur a
   death penalty)

Thus we use the RabbiIshmael method of contradiction
which resolves with several cases

VERSE-1 VERSE-2 HOW THE TWO TEXTS ARE COMBINED
======= ======= ========================================
Nu21-21 Dt02-26 MOSES sent delegates on behalf of ISRAEL
Ex20-19 Ex19-20 Gods voice in HEAVEN;His FIRE on EARTH
Ex40-35 Ex25-22 Moses at Entrance; Gods by Crubim
Ex28-37 Ex39-30 Priest MASK went AROUND and OVER head
Ex25-03 Ex30-12 TAXES for base;VOLUNTARY for vessels
Nu04-05 Nu04-15 PRIESTS pack; KEHATHITES carry*10

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

*10 Rashis point is strengthened by the abrupt change
    of subject
    -----------------------------------------------
    Nu04-04 This is the job the KEHATHITES
    Nu04-05 The PRIESTS come and cover the articles
    ...
    Nu04-15 ..and AFTERWARDS the KEHATHITES come
    -----------------------------------------------

    If one just reads Nu04-04 and Nu04-05 by themselves
    it appears as if the PRIESTS mentioned in Nu04-05
    refer back to the KEHATHITES mentioned in Nu04-04
