VERSE: Nu04-15c
======================= Nu04-15c ===============================
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: Nu04-15c
-------------------
Verse Nu04-15c states
----------------------------------------------
And when Aaron and his sons have finished
covering the sanctuary, and all the utensils
of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward;
after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to
carry it; but they shall not touch any holy thing,
LEST THEY DIE. These things are the burden of
the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.
----------------------------------------------
Rashi clarifies the capped phrase
----------------------------------
LEST THEY DIE
----------------------------------
by citing an OTHER VERSE which gives
further details. Nu18-01:03 states
-------------------------------------------------
And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your
sons and your father’s house with you
shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary;
and you and your sons with you shall
bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
And your brothers also of the tribe of Levi,
the tribe of your father, bring with you,
that they may be joined to you, and
minister to you; but you and your sons
with you shall minister before the
Tent of Testimony. And they shall keep your
charge, and the charge of all the Tent;
only they shall not come near the utensils
of the sanctuary and the altar, that NEITHER
THEY NOR YOU ALSO DIE

------- ----------------------- --------- ------------------
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
------------------------------------------
*9 Hence the Rashi
----------------------------------------
The princes brought their gifts IN THE SAME ORDER
as their encampment order [We infer this because
these two orders of the 12 tribes are identical
leading us to infer that one was copied from the other]
----------------------- 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
