VERSE: Nu12-03a
============================ Nu12-03a ==========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 10 major methods is to clarify complex
logical, algebraic and geometric comments with examples.
We call this the Rashi method of SPREADSHEETS. This method
equally applies to ANY ILLUSTRATION BY EXAMPLE whether
- simple illustrative examples
- clarification of algebraic ideas
- clarification of geometric ideas
- clarification thru spreadsheets
EXAMPLE 1: Nu12-03a
-------------------
Nu12-03a states
------------------------------------------------
And God spoke suddenly to Moses, Aaron and Miriam:
The three of you: Go out to the Temple
------------------------------------------------
Rashi comments
--------------------------------------------------
But God doesn't speak out loud
Rather the Prophet hears Gods voice in his mind
Accompanied by signs that it is a prophecy
Therefore the verse
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
God told the 3 people:The 3 of you: Go to Temple
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
means that
- each of the 3 people were told individually
- that there were prophecies to all 3 of them
- and that all 3 were told to come to the Temple
--------------------------------------------------
Here Rashi ILLUSTRATES how a complex vision order
was implemented.
LIST690a below summarizes these comments and presents other
examples where Rashi clarifies algebraic, geometric and
complex ideas.

NOTES
-----
*1 Many people are familiar with the concept of the
FORMULA PLUG IN. That is a problem is solved by a
formula which you plug into.
But some problems intrinsically cannot (initally)
be solved by a formula. Instead you have to
formulate the problem algebraically and solve;only
then do you have the formula.
In other words these problems are solved by
the EQUATION vs the FORMULA
Thus the statement that the eldest gets double
suggests the following model.
- Suppose the are B brothers
- Suppose 1 of them is eldest
- The Fathers total assets are T (Total)
- Let A be the amount each brother inherits
We have no formula for A
- Then each of the B-1 brothers obtains A
- The eldest obtains double, 2A.
- Together this exhausts the Fathers estate, T
Hence we have (B-1)A + 2A = (B+1)A = T
This gives rise to the formula A = T / (B+1)
An example is a father with 100,000 and 4 children
- T=100,000
- B=4
- So each child take T/(B+1) = 100000/5 = 20,000
- Eldest takes 2*20000=40000
- Other 3 take 20000
- Total distribution =3*20000+40000=100000
See Rambam Inheritance Chapter 2
*2 e.g. The father is a non jew from outside Israel
He marries a Canaanite women in Israel
By law when Israel is conquered she must be killed
But the son follows the father, is not considered Canaanite,
need not be killed and can be used as a slave byus.
