In this issue we show another example of how >2 verses indicate 2 STAGES of the same process #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* EXAMPLE 2 --------- 2-15-1 and 2-15-4 describe the destruction of the Egyptian Army using the words >God LIFTED them into the sea >God SHOT them into the sea So Rashi Is Simple >Like an archer SHOOTING an arrow UPWARD >which then falls down First the Egyptians come to the sea elated and convinced that they had the upper hand (LIFTED) and then they drown-- so it appears that God SHOT them from Egypt into the sea. Such a statement heightens the miracle (since it shows Gods TOTAL CONTROL over the situation--He could kill the Egyptians at the exact moment He chose) #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
