VERSE: Nu26-11a

RASHIS COVERED: Nu26-11a Nu26-53a Nu26-55a

========================= Nu26-11a ==========================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Many Rashis focus on internal items of a verse such as
MEANING and GRAMMAR. However some Rashis focus on external
comparisons with other verses. This is particularly exciting
when 2 verses contradict or complement each other. We have
found five methods of resolving contradictory or complementary
verses.

EXAMPLE #1
----------
-Nu16-32:33 clearly states that KORACH and FOLLOWERS died
-Nu26-11a   clearly states that KORACHS sons did not die

We resolve this contradiction using the method of 2 STAGES
-First Korachs children went into Hell but
-Then they repented
We bring further support below

EXAMPLE #2
----------
-Nu26-53a,Nu26-55 clearly state that
 the EXODUS people(ie people who actually
 went out inherited Israel)
-Nu26-54 clearly states that the EXODUS
 descendants inherited Israel

We resolve this contradiction using the method of 2 stages
-Each descendant received ONE unit in Israel
-Each Family (EXODUS person) is therefore
 allocated all family units
-The descendants now divide equally by family

A simple numerical example is presented in the footnotes

Verse pairs illustrating 2 stages of a process
=======================================================


======================== LIST530a ====================================

We present verse pairs which seem to contradict each other
The contradiction is resolved by viewing the 2 verses
as 2 stages of the same process.
=======================================================================
VERSE-1 VERSE-2  WHY 2   HOW THE TWO TEXTS ARE COMBINED
======= =======  ======= ==============================================
Ex15-01 Ex15-04  Stages  Egyptians THROWN UP;THEN SHOT down to sea
Ex16-13 Nu11-09  Stages  1st Dew bed; then MANNA; THEN dew blanket
Nu08-24 Nu04-03  Stages  Levites LEARN Temple at 25;THEN serve at 30
Nu16-32 Nu26-11a Stages  Korach sons 1st punished; then repented*1
Nu26-54 Nu26-55a Stages  Children inherit units;Parents give equally*10

NOTES
-----
*1 Nu16-32 and Nu16-33 together imply that KORACH AND ALL FOLLOWING
   HIM DIED ALIVE BY FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE This contradicts Nu26-11
   that the sons of Korach did not die

   Note that Psalms 45-49 were written by the SONS OF KORACH
   showing that they repented

--------------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES ------------------------
*10 Here is a simple numerical example
   Assume 3 people in Egypt
   - Bob
   - Dan and David Brothers

   Assume
   - Bob has 1 child
   - Dan has 1 child
   - David has 2 children

   So GENERATION1(GEN1) has 3 units (Bob,Dan David)
   And GEN2 has 4 units (1+1+2)

   We now have 3 stages

   STAGE 1
   -------
   Each GEN2 person gets same number of units (Say 2 units)
   So Bobs child --2 units
   -- Dans child --2 units
   -- Davids-------4 units to 2 children

   STAGE 2
   -------
   Now the units are coalesced at the family (GEN1) level
   - Bob has 2 units(Since he has one child with 2 units)
   - Dan-David has 6 units (Dans child 2 units and Davids 4)

   STAGE 3
   -------
   - Bob gives his 2 units back to his child
   - Dan-David give there 6 units equally to children so
   -- Dans child receives 3 units
   -- Davids 2 children receive 1.5 units each (Total of 3)

   Here is a time map

   --------------------------------------------------------------
   EGYPT(GEN1)    CHILDREN   STAGE1      STAGE2       STAGE3
   -------------- ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------
   Bob            1 child    2/8         2/8          2/8 @child
   Dan-brother    1 child    2/8         6/8 brothers 3/8 @child
   David-brother  2 child    4/8         6/8 Brothers 3/8 @2 child
   ---------------------------------------------------------------

   Although this may seem complicated it fulfills the 2 verses
   - The actual exodus people from Egypt inherit
   - The descendants determine inheritance
