OVERVIEW:
========
In this module we explore Rashis that derive their
lesson from OTHER VERSES.


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 SUCH AND SUCH 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 first give two verses where the cross
reference arises because of the Biblical phrase >AS I HAVE
SAID<. This is followed by a beautiful example where the
technique of >CROSS REFERENCE< emerges, not as a passive
interpretive technique, but as a creative interpretive act.

#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
EXAMPLE 25: Ex12-25b
==========

Ex12-25c says >And when you come to the land which God
                will give you AS HE SAID<

The CAPPED WORDS >AS HE SAID< cross references any of the many
verses where God actually said he would bring us to Israel.Thus

Ex06-08 says >And I(God) will bring you to the land that I
                promised to give to Abraham Isaac and Jacob and
                I will give it to you as an inheritance..<




EXAMPLE 26: Gn24-07e
==========
Gn24-07e says >God, the Lord of Heaven...who took me from my
                fathers house....and WHO SWORE TO ME SAYING:
                To your descendants do I give this land<

The CAPPED WORDS >WHO SWORE TO ME SAYING< cross references
the >Treaty of the Cut pieces< where God promised to give
Abraham the land. Thus

Gn15-18 states >On that day God made a convenant with Abraham
                saying: To your descendants will I give this
                land...<




EXAMPLE 27: Gn26-05e
==========

BACKGROUND
----------
Gn26 is speaking about how God promised to Isaac,Israel because
of Gods promises to Abraham. The exact citation is


Gn26-05
-------
Gn26-05 >(I give you these) BECAUSE ABRAHAM LISTENED TO MY VOICE<


WHAT IS CROSS-REFERENCED
------------------------
There are many places where Abraham listened to God. However
in one of these places, the Bible uses the >EXACT SAME WORDS<

Gn22 discusses the famous test of Abraham:The offering of Isaac.
God complements Abraham for listening to his orders.

Gn22-18 says >In your descendants will be blessed all nations
                BECAUSE YOU LISTENED TO MY VOICE<

The identicality of these 2 phrases (Gn26-05) >BECAUSE ABRAHAM
LISTENED TO MY VOICE< and (Gn22-18) >BECAUSE YOU LISTENED TO
MY VOICE< motivates Rashi to state that the two verses are
cross-referencing each other.


SUMMARY
-------
The above example gives us an insight on how >CROSS REFERENCING<
can be used as a creative vehicle of interpretation-- the
cross reference enables us to identify WHAT is being cross
referenced.
