RASHIS COVERED: Nu24-07c Nu24-07d

======================== Nu24-07c ======================

SUCCINCT  SUMMARY
-----------------
Many Rashi-ists perceive Rashi as explaining
meaning, grammar and internal consistency.
But an equally important set of Rashi rules is
the explanation and citation of cross references
to clarify verse meanings.

EXAMPLE
-------
Nu24-07c States that the Jews will be higher than AGAG

The reference to AGAG is clarified by citation of
1Sm15-33 which describes the conquest by the Jews
of Amalayk and their King AGAG

=================== LIST210a ===========================
 We present a list of verses where
 further details of the verse are presented
 from other verses.

 The classical example is the Passover Hagaddah
 example: The verse Dt26-05d, ONLY A FEW JEWS
 WENT DOWN TO EGYPT, is illumined by Gn46-27
 which states that 70 PEOPLE WENT DOWN TO EGYPT.

 Thus the technique of OTHER VERSES teaches
 us that A FEW JEWS(Dt26-05d) means 70(Gn46-27)

NOTES
-----
*1 Lv21-18 says
   - Blemished priests dont serve BECAUSE blemished
   - priests dont serve

   Mal01-08 amplifies this
   - Would you give a blemished animal to your governor?
   - Would he like it? Would he grant your favor?

*2 Rashis approach to the verse is literal--Bilam was
   a prophet and he foresaw the defeat of Amalayk by
   the Jews.

   Therefore the next phrase in the verse--
   ---------------------------------------
   His(Jewish) Kingdom will be higher than AGAG
   and his (Jewish) reign will go higher
   ---------------------------------------
   This next phrase (GO HIGHER) would refer to
   the Kings after Shaul--to David and Solomon
   who had greater Kingdoms and greater victories
   than Shaul*10
----------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -------------------

*10 It is also possible to have a poetic approach to
   these verses. Thus
   - AGAG from GAG would refer to the ROOF nations,
   that is, nations who think that they are self
   sufficient (Their own ROOF) and dont need God.

   The ROOF nations include AMALAYK under King AGAG
   They would also include the MAGOG kingdom under
   king GOG (See Ez38) which the Jews will defeat
   in Messianic times.

   The second phrase in the verse
   ---------------------------------------
   His(Jewish) Kingdom will be higher than AGAG
   and his (Jewish) reign will go higher
   ---------------------------------------
   would therefore refer to King Messiah
