There are three basic techniques of Rashi in these verses. CROSS REFERENCES THAT CONFIRM ============================= One basic technique of Rashi in these verses is to >CONFIRM BIBLICAL CROSS REFERENCE<. Thus the Bible might say >I GOD PROMISE YOU X AS I HAVE SAID< and Rashi will then indicate where God has said this. CROSS REFERENCES THAT CLARIFY ============================= A Second basic technique of Rashi in these verses is to >CLARIFY MEANING IN ONE VERSE BY AN OTHER VERSE<. CROSS REFERENCES THAT DEFINE ============================ A third technique is where the Bible explicitly says >DO PROCEDURE X THE SAME WAY I TOLD YOU TO DO PROCEDURE Y< REFERENCES ========== Material in this module comes from http://www.rashiyomi.com/ov.htm TODAYS UNIT =========== In todays unit we give some examples of the first technique. In the first example God promised something and later the Bible says >such and such happened AS GOD SAID<. In the other two examples the cross references are used, not to confirm a >STATEMENT< but rather to confirm a >NICE RELATIONSHIP<. Read further for the details. #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* EXAMPLE 18: Gn21-01c ========== Gn21-01 says >And God remembered Sarah AS HE SPOKE And God did to Sarah AS HE CITED< The capped words >AS HE SPOKE< and >AS HE CITED< refer to Gn17-19 where God first promised to Sarah a son Gn17-19 says >And God said But Sarah your wife will give give birth to a son and you will call his name Isaac and I will fulfill my convenant with him ...< EXAMPLE 19: Gn21-22a ========== Gn21-22 says >At that time Avimelech and Pichol, his chief of staff, said to Abraham as follows: GOD IS WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO< RASHI ----- The capped words >GOD IS WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO< refers to --Abrahams wife gave birth when he was a 100 years old(Gn21-05) --Abraham conquered the 4 kings in a war (Gn14-15) --Abrahams nephew was saved when Sedom was destroyed(Gn19-21) NOTE: ---- Notice how example 18 is a confirmation of a >STATEMENT< (God said Sarah would give birth and she did) while Example 19 is a confirmation of a >RELATIONSHIP< (ie There are many examples where God did Abraham favors). EXAMPLE 20: Gn21-23b ========== Gn21-23 says >And now swear to me (Avimelech) that you(Abraham) will not lie to me, my heir, or my grandchild; as WE HAVE TREATED YOU WITH KINDNESS so should you treat us with kindness< RASHI ===== The capped words >AS WE HAVE TREATED YOU WITH KINDNESS< refers to Gn20-15 where Avimelech treated Abraham with kindness Gn20-15 says >And Avimelech said (To Abraham): My land is before you: Please dwell where you want< #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
