COMMENTS
|
*1 God designated the Moon for holidays even though holidays were
not proclaimed till Ex12
*2 God refers to certain animals as Kosher even though in Noachs
time the laws of Kashruth,presented in Lv11 had not yet been
given*10
*3 The rivers surrounded the countries of KUSH and ASSHUR.
But these countries werent so named for another 1000 years
(See Gn10-07:11 where the people founding these countries were
born)
*4 The verse refers to a conquest of the Amalayk field even
though Amalayk wasnt born for another hundred years.
*5 Moses and Aaron sinned at Kadaysh several
thousand years later.*11
*6 It says that Moses came to the mountain of God even though
the 10 commandments and the revelation of God on this
mountain did not happen for several years.
*7 The spies cut a cluster of grapes to bring back to the
Jews as an example of Israeli fruit. Hence the river is
named by what the spies WOULD DO--they would cut a CLUSTER
OF GRAPES

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 Rashi adds
-------------------------------------------
This proves that Noach learned the Torah
(Since he had to know about Kashruth)
-------------------------------------------
Not so! The fact that the Torah refers to animals by a term
coined several hundred years later doesnt PROVE that Noach
learned the Torah.
Rather we learn that Noach learned the Torah from Gn08-20
which states that Noach
---------------------------------------------------
Noach offered from all the KOSHER animals, offerings
---------------------------------------------------
Noach did this by himself. Apparently he analyzed Gods
command and come to the conclusion that these animals were
worthy of being offered. So the inference that Noach learned
the Torah is made not based on the language but rather based
on what Noach, of his own accord, did with them.
*11 Oonkelos suggests a different explanation
---------------------------------------------------
....the place of JUDGEMENT, Kadaysh
---------------------------------------------------
- Kadaysh COULD be the name of a place as Rashi suggests
- Kadaysh could also refer to something DESIGNATED and FORMAL
like a synagogue and courthouse. So OONKELOS sees it possible
that this was the place DESIGNATED --that is designated for
COURT CASES
