VERSE: Nu14-20a

RASHIS COVERED: Nu14-20a Nu14-17b

=================== GOD CITES VERSES ============================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Moses in Nu14-17 says
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 God, Please show the greatness of Your Strength AS YOU SAID
 God: Long Suffering, With Much mercy and truth...
 -----------------------------------------------------------
The phrase AS YOU SAID cross-references ex34-06
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 God, God: ........Long Suffering, with much mercy and truth
 -----------------------------------------------------------
Rashi simply points out this cross reference.

---------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE:     OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:  CITATION
---------------------------------------


BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi
is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE

The Bible in several dozen places QUOTES. Thus a verse might
say SUCH AND SUCH WILL HAPPEN AS IT SAYS. The phrase AS IT
SAYS refers to a CITATION from another verse.

Rashis job is to find this other verse and show how the
Bible is citing it.


STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
Dt26-18:19 states
 ------------------------------------------------------------
 God will make you a precious nation today AS HE SAID
 ..and make you a leading nation and a holy nation AS HE SAID
 ------------------------------------------------------------


EXERCISE:
---------
Before reading Rashi
-- can you find a verse where God promises to make us PRECIOUS
-- can you find a verse where God promises to make us HOLY


RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Rashi cites Ex19-05:06
 -----------------------------------------------------
 If you (The Jews) listen to Me and watch my convenant
 ...  then you will become a PRECIOUS NATION to Me
 ...  and you will become to me a HOLY nation
 -----------------------------------------------------
Thus the Bible is cross-referencing itself.

COMMENT:If you found this verse by yourself then you produced
2 Rashi comments, just like Rashi. This should inspire you
that with proper study you can become a Torah Scholar LIKE RASHI

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS
------------------------------------------
You can use the LIST below for school projects.
Here is how, if you are a teacher then you
can present the verse in the first column
(eg Dt26-05) and the CHAPTER (but not the verse)
in the 3rd column---e.g. Gn46.

The student is then instructed to discover
the verse that is cross referenced. The students solution
can then be compared with Rashis. Very often the student
can do as well as Rashi. This inspires confidence in the
students since they see that Rashis commentary emanates
from scholarship, not from authority.

TODAYS LIST

================================================================
VERSE     STATEMENT OF VERSE         CROSS REFERENCES...
========= ========================== ======================
Nu14-17b  God is LONG SUFFERING      Ex34-06
Nu14-20a  God forgives Jewish people Nu14-19*1
Dt19-08a  God will give us more land Gn15-19:21
Dt18-02d  Levites will not inherit   Nu18-20
Dt26-18a  Jews will be TREASURED     Ex19-05
Dt26-19a  Jews will be HOLY          Lv20-26
Gn21-01c  God gave Sarah a child     Gn17-19
Ex12-25b  God will give us Israel    Ex06-08

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi expands. Nu14-20 I,GOD,FORGIVE AS YOU,MOSES,REQUESTED
   refers to the WHOLE prayer of Moses in Nu14-13:19. In
   particular God forgave the Jews FOR THE REASON that Moses
   mentions: Namely, If God were to kill the Jews then the
   nations would NOT recognize this destruction as a Divine
   punishment but rather as inadequacy of God against the
   Canaanite nations (See Nu14-16). Therefore God would not
   accomplish his goals of MAKING AN EXAMPLE OF THEM. Because
   this example would not be accomplished God forgave the
   Jews since nothing good would be accomplished by
   punishing them.
