VERSE: Nu16-09a

================ OTHER VERSES: MORE DETAILS ===========

---------------------------------------
TODAYS RASHI RULE:     OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:  FURTHER DETAILS
---------------------------------------

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

One way of doing this is to cross reference a
verse that speaks about the SAME topic but gives
FURTHER details.


STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
The following example comes from the Passover
Hagaddah

Dt26-05 states that
-------------------------------
 With only a FEW PEOPLE did the
 Jews go down to Egypt
-------------------------------

FURTHER DETAILS on the meaning of
the Biblical phrase FEW PEOPLE is
provided in Gn46.

EXERCISE:
---------
Before reading the Rashi try reading
Gn46 yourself and see if you can
discover the further details.

RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Rashi cites Gn46-27
-----------------------------
 The total number of people who
 came with Jacob to Egypt is 70
-----------------------------

Thus the Rashi method of OTHER VERSES
in this case has explained to us that
the FEW PEOPLE that went down to
Egypt refers to SEVENTY people

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 further details. The students solution
can then be compared with Rashis.

TODAYS EXAMPLE
--------------
We bring Nu16-09a which speaks about the LEVITES SERVING
and STANDING. Skillful use of an other verse 1C23-27:32
shows that the Levites had two types of functions: Temple
service (Like slaughtering animals) and SINGING SONGS
OF PRAISE. The other examples come from the RashiYomi series.

NOTES
-----
*1 For an almost identical Rashi comment see
   http://www.Rashiyomi.com/nu04-47a.htm

   In both Nu04-47a and Nu16-09a the verse contains two clauses
   --(Nu16-09) To SERVE          &     To STAND
   --(Nu04-47a)To BEAR           &     To SERVE

   The repeated phrase by itself might not mean anything
   particular (Perhaps it is a Biblical idiom).

   That is Rashi was not inferring nuances from the extra phrases
   Rather Rashi was inferring nuances from OTHER VERSES such as
   1C23-27:32 which explicitly lists two types of Levite service
   -- Singing songs of praise to God
   -- Helping with Temple activities
      (like slaughtering sacrifices)

   Some other relevant verses are 1Ch15 and 1Ch16 or 1C06-17
   which shows that the singing of praises by the Levites is
   called a SERVICE

*2 It would be best to cite both verses Dt24-08:09
   which form 1 Biblical paragraph
   -----------------------------------------------------
   Carefully observe the laws of leprosy as the priests
   direct you.  Remember what God did to Miriam on your
   journey from Egypt
   -----------------------------------------------------

   The fact that one Biblical paragraph cites BOTH
   Leprosy and Miriam who sinned by slandering Moses
   easily suggests that Leprosy is a punishment for
   the sin of slander. (Other Biblical impurities
   however, like childbirth, are not considered
   punishments)

   Using this other verse we understand why the
   Lepor is isolated and expelled from all 3 camps
   To cites Rashis own language
   ---------------------------------------------
   This lepor slandered people and broke up marriages
   Just as he isolated husbands and wives so is
   he made isolated (So he should know what it feels
   like and repent)
   ---------------------------------------------
