VERSE: Nu08-07a

======================== Nu08-07a ======================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
One of Rashis 6 main techniques is to use
Cross references. These cross referenced
verses illumine the meaning of the original
verses. There are 5 techniques of cross
referencing.

EXAMPLE Nu08-07a
----------------
Nu08-07a refers to sprinkling SIN-WATER on the
Levites. We are not told what this phrase means.

There are 3 sacrificial procedures where water
is used
- The lepor purification procedure (Lv14)
- The Suspected adulteress procedure(Nu05)
- The Red Heiffer procedure (Nu19)

The Red Heiffer procedure is the only place
in the Bible where the interactive form of
the root Chet-Tet-Aleph(Sin) is used.

Taken together the SIN-WATER seems to refer
to the Red-Heiffer water which when sprinkled
on the impure person during the course of a
week removes sinful thoughts from him/her

=================== LIST250a ===========================
 We present a list of verses where
 the meaning of words in one verse are
 illumined by the usage of these words
 in other verses.

 The classical example is the word CALF
 which occurs several times in the
 Torah(eg Gn15-09).

 We know a CALF is a YOUNG OX/BULL
 but we dont know HOW YOUNG. The details
 are gives by Lv09-07d which shows that
 CALFS are 1 year (And this derivation
 is accepted legally)

NOTES
-----
*1 Ex13-20 Jews journeyed from Succoth after Exodus
   Ex12-27 Exodus: Jews go from Raamsayth to Succoth
   Nu33-05 Exodus, Then Raamsayth, THen Succoth

   The point is that Nu33-05 makes it clear that
   there were 3 places
   - Exodus FROM Egypt
   - TO Raamsayth
   - TO Succoth.

   Ex13-20 only mentions 2 of the places
   Ex12-27 makes it sound like they left EGYPT, ie
   they left RAAMSAYTH.

   It is in fact common for places to have multiple
   names. So Nu33-05 illumines that there were 3
   distinct places

*2 Also see Ex30-11:16 which prohibits DIRECTLY
   counting people. Instead, we must count the
   COINS of each person and from this infer
   the total count.

*3
  There are 3 sacrificial procedures where water
  is used
  - The lepor purification procedure (Lv14)
  - The Suspected adulteress procedure(Nu05)
  - The Red Heiffer procedure (Nu19)

  The Red Heiffer procedure is the only place
  in the Bible where the interactive form of
  the root Chet-Tet-Aleph(Sin) is used.

  Taken together the SIN-WATER seems to refer
  to the Red-Heiffer water which when sprinkled
  on the impure person during the course of a
  week removes sinful thoughts from him/her

  (Rashi adds that the Levites had to be purified
  from the ritual impurity of contact with dead
  bodies anyway so it clicks right that the
  sin-offering water is used)
