SCAN FROM HEAVEN...


RASHIS COVERED: Dt26-15a We do mitzvoth--God blesses us


VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Rashi makes two points on Dt26-12:15
First Rashi points out the CONTRAST structure of the paragraph
- THINGS WE DO
-------WE gave tithe to the Levites
-------WE did not violate your commandments...
- THINGS GOD SHOULD PLEASE DO
-------Please bless us
Secondly Rashi cross references Lv26-03:12 in which God promises
to give us rain if we observe his commandments.This helps explain
the request SCAN FROM HEAVEN & BLESS US--referring to the rain

RASHI RULE USED:                OTHER VERSES
RASHI SUBRULE USED:             FURTHER DETAILS

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RASHI RULES
--------------------------------
BULLETING--One of Rashis rules is to review, not individual
word meaning, or word grammar, but rather, overall sentence
and paragraph structure. We can infer items from overall
paragraph structure. In todays posting we infer items from
the paragraph style which uses a CONTRAST METHOD. This
contrast method is compactly exhibited in LIST 1

OTHER VERSES--Beside using rules governing meaning and
grammar Rashi also uses governing cross-reference. Very
often another verse can supply further details to a given
verse. In todays posting Rashi cites other verses where God
promises rain for observing the commandments. This supports
the reference to HEAVEN (From which rain comes) in the verse
request GOD, PLEASE SCAN FROM HEAVEN AND BLESS US

Here is the first list showing the CONTRAST METHOD OF THE CHAPTER

Dt25-15WHAT YOU DOScan from Heaven
Dt25-15WHAT YOU DOBless us and our land



RAIN FOR MITZVOTH


Here is the second list showing that God gives rain in return
for commandment performance. This helps justify the phrase
SCAN FROM HEAVEN AND BLESS US (So as to give rain)
VERSETEXT OF VERSE PROMISING RAIN FOR PERFORMANCE MITZVOTH
Lv26-03If you observe my commandments I-ll give you rain
Dt11-13:14If you observe my commandments I-ll give you rain
Lv28-18:19If you dont listen to Me--I-ll stop up heaven
Dt28-15:23If you dont listen to Me--I-ll stop up heaven
Dt26-12:15We have done your commandments; Bless us from Heaven
