1. RASHI METHOD: REFERENCES BRIEF EXPLANATION: Commentary on a verse is provided thru a cross-reference to another verse. The cross references can either provide (1a) further details, (1b) confirm citations, or (1c) clarify word meaning. This examples applies to Rashis Nu11-15b URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1416; Brief Summary: Nu11-15b - If you God do this to me, kill me, so I won't see their suffering REFERENCES Ex32-32 - If only you forgive them; if not, erase me from your book.

Verse Nu11-15b discussing Moses' reaction to God's anger on Jewish complaints states If you [God] do this to me [to make me alone deal with all national complaints] then please kill me if I find grace in your eyes so that I don't see my [their] suffering. Rashi clarifies the underlined words my [their] suffering by referencing verse(s) Ex32-32 which states If only you forgive their sin [of the golden calf]; but if not, please erase me from the book [of life] which you write Hence the Rashi comment: Although the biblical text Nu11-15 states kill me so I don't see my suffering it really means the same as in Ex32-32 erase me from your book [of life] so I don't see their suffering [if you don't forgive them].
