JEWISH HISTORY


RASHIS COVERED: Dt34-01a  God showed Moses all of Jewish History
                Dt34-01c Dt34-02a
                Dt34-02b Dt34-02c Dt34-01b
                Dt34-02d Dt34-03a Dt34-03b

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
In Dt34-01:03 God shows Moses all of Jewish history. 10 deft
phrases and all of Jewish history is painted in pastel/Sombre
hues.In fact the verse says God showed Moses the WHOLE land(We
translate Kaph-Lamed as WHOLE one of the 4 meanings of ALL).
- God showed Moses 4 types of leadership: Leadership that
(a) came from martyrdom (b) that came thru outside help
(c) that came with miracles (d) that came with statehood.
- God showed Moses the 4 exilic terror beasts
- God then showed Moses the fulfillment of the oath to the
Patriarchs to give the Jews Israel and a Messiah.

TODAYS RASHI RULE:                           CLIMAX
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:                        CLIMAX
----------------------------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF RULE
-------------------------
This is a peach of Rashi which exquisitely illustrates the
Rashi principle of CLIMAX.  The principle of CLIMAX applies
when a verse repeats a theme 3 or more times. The CLIMAX
principle then suggests that
- there is a unifying principle or climax to these verses
- the repeated verse phrases BUILD UP to this climax

Like the sister Rashi goals of DICTIONARY MEANING,GRAMMAR
and CROSS REFERENCE, CLIMAX has INTRINSIC value as a Biblical
explanatory tool. CLIMAX in and of itself has the right to
twist the meaning of a phrase or word. Todays example
amply illustrates this.

STANDARD EXAMPLES FOR THIS RULE
--------------------------------
The power of CLIMAX to change the meaning of a phrase
will be discussed tomorrow when we analyze the strange
phrase THE LAST SEA.

STANDARD REFERENCES FOR THIS RULE

TODAYS LISTS
------------
We present 2 lists.
- 1st we present a list where each phrase in Dt34-01:03 is
linked to some OTHER VERSE, a CROSS REFERENCE, showing some
aspect of Jewish History connected with this phrase. For
example the verse says God showed Moses Dan--and in fact the
Great Judge Samson, came from Dan as is stated in Ju13-02
(See the Dan row below).

- Next we present a list showing the climactic nature
of Dt34-01:03. We show how the verses describe 4 types
of Jewish leadership followed by a description of the 4
exiles and the Messianic redemption.
VERSE-1 TEXT OF VERSE CROSS REFERENCE ON VERSE TEXT VERSE-2
Dt34-01a The WHOLE land All of Jewish History(Good/Bad)
Dt34-01b Dan Samson Saved Jews Ju13-02
Dt34-01c Dan Dan worshipped idols Ju18-30
