VERSE: Nu14-25a
========================= Nu14-25a =============================
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 Rashi METHOD of OTHER VERSES and the Rashi submethod
of FURTHER DETAILS
EXAMPLE Nu14-25a
----------------
Nu14-25 states
--------------------------------
The Amalykites are in the valley
[therefore] journey away from
here tomorrow
--------------------------------
Rashi explains the causal connection
between the presence of the Amalykites
and the need to journey by citing
Nu14-42:45
-------------------------------------
Moses told the people do not go up
to conquer Israel since God is angry
with you...don't violate God's will
---you will not be successful...if you
go up the Amalykite will defeat you...
the nation did not listen...they went
up and the Amalykite in the mountain
came down and defeated them
--------------------------------------
Thus this OTHER VERSE sheds light
on why they had to JOURNEY---they
would be defeated if they stayed.

NOTES
-----
*1 Unlike other cases of ritual impurity the Lepor is
- ostracized from all his friends
- must declare himself impure and separate himself
Hence he is like someone dead (that is like a dead body
he is REPULSIVE)*10
--------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------
*10 Rashi gives an alternate argument
-----------------------------------------------------
Both the LEPOR and DEAD transmit a status of ritual
impurity to a person who merely walks into the same
room with them
-----------------------------------------------------
However we would summarize this Rashi argument as follows
---------------------------------------------------------
Both the LEPOR and DEAD are considered REPULSIVE. Hence
- merely being in the same room with them confers impurity
- People AVOID both the LEPOR and DEAD BODY
---------------------------------------------------------
Such an approach to Rashi is deeper and more satisfying
and sheds light on the analogy.
