VERSE: Nu09-04a

RASHIS COVERED: Nu09-04a Nu09-14a

============================= Nu09-04a ============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
A powerful Rashi technique is the ALIGNMENT method in which
almost similar verses are aligned. The minor differences
between the aligned phrases sheds light on nuances and details.
The minor differences can also shed light on meaning.

EXAMPLE Nu09-04a Lv23-44
-------------------------
- Lv23-44 Moses told the Jews ABOUT the HOLIDAYS (at Mt Sinai)
- Nu09-04 Moses told the Jews TO DO the PASSOVER (At Passover time)

Rashi: At Mt Sinai Moses gave GENERAL instruction about ALL Holidays
Then JUST BEFORE each holiday Moses REVIEWED laws on that holiday

EXAMPLE Nu09-14a Ex12-47
------------------------
- Converts will do the Passover BUT 1st MUST CIRCUMCISE
- Converts will do the Passover ACCORDING TO LAW

Rashi: The phrase ACCORDING TO LAW means (among other things)
that HE 1st MUST CIRCUMCISE

*10 Actually there is a further subtlety in phrase reversal
    as shown below--but we do not review that here
    -------------------------------------------
    MOSES SPOKE about the holidays TO THE JEWS
    MOSES SPOKE TO THE JEWS to do the Passover

======== ============== =========================================
Ex12-47  ...converts... shall do Passover but 1st circumcise
Nu09-14a ...converts... shall do Passover according to law
Differs  *1             *1                *2

NOTES
-----
*1 The same phrase

*2 So the ALIGNMENT sheds light on MEANING. The phrase
   ACCORDING TO LAW means that the converts must 1st CIRCUMCISE
   (See *10 for further details)
-------------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES --------------------

*10 Actually the phrase ACCORDING TO LAW implies more---for
    the whole chapter deals with the fact that those who
    observe the MAKEUP Passover (Passover 2) must follow ALL
    Passover laws.

    Hence BECAUSE OF CONTEXT, we infer from the phrase
    ACCORDING TO LAW that
    -- the converts must first circumcise
    -- ALL Passover laws must be followed by converts
