The following table contains Rashis whose derivation comes from other verses. In other words Rashi is not deriving from internal grammatical nuances but rather external verses. The simplest example is the verse that says that REUVEN SLEPT WITH BILHAH. Rashi says he only ruffled some bedspreads (to prevent his father from living with her). This Rashi certainly appears strange. But Rashi derives his interpretation from an explicit verse "...you (Reuven) played with your fathers bedspreadS". Thus Rashi learns that Reuven switched bedspreads from this verse In the table below you can find the Rashi involved, where the other verses are (FROM to TO verses) and a brief explanation. The table is sorted alphabetically As time goes on we will update this table so that complicated examples are treated separately.
Rashi | From Verse | To Verse | Brief Explanation |
Dt03-09a | Dt03-09 | Dt04-48 | By reviewing Dt03-09 and Dt04-48 we see that this city was given 4 names by 4 nations--apparently it was well liked(and hence every country gave it its own name). This shows the Greatness of God in conquering it for us. |
Dt11-25a | Dt11-25a | Dt07-22 | See CLIMAX sheet ---No one will stand before you = No one will escape--- |
Dt11-25e | Dt11-25 | Ex23-27 | Cross references promise ---I (God) will send my Fear before you and I will loosen the nations that you come to--- |
Dt15-09b | Dt24-15b | Dt15-09b | It is optional for anguished worker to pray to God on employer (because it says both ---He will Call to God--- ---He will not Call to God--- |

Dt19-08a | Dt19-08 | Gn15-19 | Israel came from the conquest of 6-7 lands, Ex03-08. But God promised 10 lands to Abraham in Gn15:19-21. Therefore when God promises to ---widen our land---(Dt19-08) i it refers to the other 3 lands not yet given |
Dt19-09a | Dt19-08 | Gn15-19 | Israel came from the conquest of 6-7 lands, Ex03-08. But God promised 10 lands to Abraham in Gn15:19-21. Therefore when God promises to ---widen our land---(Dt19-08) i it refers to the other 3 lands not yet given |
Dt24-15b | Dt24-15b | Dt15-09b | Regarding an anguished worker the Bible says both ---He will Call to God--- & ---He will not Call to God--- It is therefore optional for an anguished worker to pray to God on an employer who defaults on payment |
Dt25-13b | Dt25-13 | Lv19-36 | The word ---stones--- in Dt25-13 is clarified in Lv19-36 as ---stone weights-----that is weights made of stones |
Dt26-05d | Dt26-05 | Gn46-27 | Rashi cross references the statement ---The Jews went down to Egypt with only a few people--- with an explicit verse that ---we went down with 70 people (Gn46-27)--- |
Dt26-18a | Dt26-18 | Ex19-05 | The statement ---Make you a treasured nation (Dt26-18)--- refers back to the explicit statement in Ex19-05 |
Dt26-19a | Dt26-19 | Lv20-26 | The statement ---Make you a holy nation as God said(Dt26-19)--- refers back to the explicit statement in Lv20-26 |
Dt33-09a | Dt33-09 | Ex32-26 | The statement ---Levi did not know its family--- cross references Ex32-26:28 where the Levites killed 3000 fellow Jews who worshipped idols. |
Dt33-09b | Dt33-09 | Ex20-03 | The statement ---Levi observed SAYINGS of GOD--- cross references to Ex20-03, the prohibition of Idolatry, since the Levites did not participate in the Golden-Calf-idolatry episode(Ex32-26:28) |
Dt33-09c | Dt33-09 | Gn17-10 | The statement ---Levi watched your CONVENANT--- refers to his keeping circumcision which is also called a convenant(Gn17-10) |
Ex02-14a | Ex02-14 | Ex02-12 | We explained elsewhere that Ex02-12 means ---And he PROPHETICALLY SAW that the Egyptian was a tramp---.Consequently Ex02-14 should also be interpreted prophetically |
Ex12-25c | Ex12-25 | Ex06-08 | Cross referencing where God promised to bring the Jews to Israel |
Ex13-17d | Ex13-18 | Ex13-17 | The reason we translate Ex13-18c as ---20% of the JEWS LEFT EGYPT--- vs ---THE JEWS LEFT EGYPT ARMED--- is because the PREVIOUS VERSE **Explicitly says** that the Jews were afraid of war! Hence we chose a non military interpretation |
Ex13-18c | Ex13-18 | Ex13-17 | The reason we translate Ex13-18c as ---20% of the JEWS LEFT EGYPT--- vs ---THE JEWS LEFT EGYPT ARMED--- is because the PREVIOUS VERSE **Explicitly says** that the Jews were afraid of war! Hence we chose a non military interpretation |
Ex23-07a | Ex23-07 | Dt16-20 | The statement ---JUSTICE JUSTICE PURSUE--- means be liberal in all court proceedings. If you accidentally acquitted uphold it; if you accidentally convicted appeal it |
Ex23-14b | Ex23-14 | 2Ch18-01 | Rashi learns that CHUR was Miriams son from a more or less explicit verse in 2Chronicles 18:01 (5 interpretations of this verse are discussed) |
Ex25-18b | Ex25-31 | Ex25-36 | The Hebrew word MIKSHAH means SCULPTORED(from 1 piece); not SOLDERED(from many pieces). This is learned from the verses in Ex25 which explicitly say that the Candellabrah should be HAMMERED OUT **from** THE MENORAH (Sculptored not soldered) |
Ex25-18c | Ex25-31 | Ex25-36 | The Hebrew word MIKSHAH means SCULPTORED(from 1 piece); not SOLDERED(from many pieces). This is learned from the verses in Ex25 which explicitly say that the Candellabrah should be HAMMERED OUT **from** THE MENORAH (Sculptored not soldered) |
Ex26-30b | Ex26-30 | Ex40-01:16 | The construction of the tabernacle(Ex40) took place after construction of the temple vessels(Ex39) |
Ex28-32a | Ex28-32 | Ex28-33 | The verse says BELLS AMONG THE POMEGRANATES. AMONG could mean INSIDE or INBETWEEN the bells. But the next verse explicitly says A BELL AND POMEGRANATE A BELL AND POMEGRANTE--showing that they were INBETWEEN them. |
Ex28-34a | Ex28-34 | Ex28-35 | It says that POMEGRANATES WILL BE ---AMONG--- THE BELLS. This could mean INSIDE them or INBETWEEN them. But the next verse explicitly says ---A BELL AND POMEGRANATE..A BELL AND POMEGRANATE--- Thus the pomegranates were INBETWEEN the bells. |
Ex32-05b | Ex32-05 | Ex32-18 | The reason we interpret Ex32-05 ---And Aaron Saw--- as ---Aaron saw Chur's death--- is because of the EXPLICIT STATEMENT in another verse ---...I hear a BRAWL in the camp (Ex32-18)--- |
Gn21-01c | Gn21-01 | Gn17-19 | Cross reference of God promising that Sarah will give birth |
Gn21-22a | Gn21-22 | Gn24-01 | Rashi confirms the verse GOD IS WITH YOU(Abraham) with SEVERAL other verses: (a) Sarah giving birth when Abraham is old (Gn24-01), (b) Abraham's conquest of 5 kings Gn14), (c) Escape from Sedom of Abrahams nephew (Gn19). |
Gn21-23b | Gn21-23 | Gn20-15 | Avimelech said -- I TREATED YOU NICELY-- Rashi confirms this with Gn20-15, BEHOLD MY LAND IS BEFORE YOU. (By contrast other kings mistreated Abraham with banishment Gn12-10:20, or without helping him(Gn26-09:11) ) |
Gn24-07e | Gn24-07 | Gn17-19 | Cross referencing where God promised Abraham that his son would inherit him |
Gn26-05a | Gn26-05a | Gn22-18 | The exact identical phrase-----Abraham listened to my voice-----is used by the Akeydah in Gn22-18. So Rashi interprets this phrase in Gn26-05 as refering to the Akeydah |
Gn27-42a | Gn27-43 | Gn27-42 | The next verse says --Esauv thought IN HIS HEART he would kill Jacob---Hence this verse --Rivkah was Told about Esauvs desire to Kill Jacob-- is interpreted as ---Rivkah was PROPHETICALLY told --- |
Gn34-01a | Gn34-01 | Gn34-01 | Rashi does not say -Dinah was forward and HENCE she was raped-Rather Rashi says that -Dinah was forward & HENCE since other non jews would say it was her fault, therefore Shimon and Levi had an added incentive to destroy schem (cf Gn35-32) |
Gn35-22a | Gn35-22 | Gn49-04 | It explicitly says (1-49-4) ..you PLAYED with your father's bedS Hence we are forced to say that Reuven did NOT sleep with Bilhah but rather tried to discourage his father from moving in with her(by rearranging bedspreads) |
Lv01-05a | Lv01-05 | Ez41-11 | The fact that ANYONE can SLAUGHTER sacrifices but PRIESTS are only needed from the time of RECEIPT OF SLAUGHTERED BLOOD is learned from EXPLICIT statements in Ez41-11 and Nu18-07. (Further supportive proof is available from lists) |
Lv04-24a | Lv04-24 | Lv01-11 | The Bible says (Lv04-24) slaughter the SIN offering the same place you slaughter the BURNT OFFERING. According to Lv01-11, the BURNT offering is slaughered in the NORTH. |

Lv23-08a | Lv23-08 | Nu27-16 | One verse says OFFER OX RAMS SHEEP while another verse says OFFER SACRIFICES. Therefore you SHOULD offer all 3 types of animal sacrifices mentioned for Shavuoth; But if you didn't have all 3 then offer whatever you have |

Nu08-04b | Ex25-31 | Ex25-36 | The Hebrew word MIKSHAH means SCULPTORED(from 1 piece); not SOLDERED(from many pieces). This is learned from the verses in Ex25 which explicitly say that the Candellabrah should be HAMMERED OUT **from** THE MENORAH (Sculptored not soldered) |
