VERSE: Dt12-06a

RASHIS COVERED: Dt12-06a Dt12-06b Dt12-06c Dt12-06d

==================== 4 Types of Sacrifices =====================

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
In Dt12-06 God requests that the Jews bring to Gods temple
- the slaughterings [peace offerings]
- the tithes        [Jews eat the 2nd tithe in Jerusalem]
- the terumah [The offering of the 1st fruit]
- the 1st born [of Kosher animals is given to the priest]
Rashi cross references each of these items to another verse which
clarifies its meaning as shown in brackets above. The cross
references are in the table below.This Rashi is surprisingly
modern since Rashi identifies sacrifices not with slaughter
but with a variety of vehicles of getting close to God

TODAYS RASHI RULE:     OTHER VERSES
TODAYS RASHI SUBRULE:  FURTHER DETAILS
---------------------------------------

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE and SUBRULE
-----------------------------------------
The rule of OTHER VERSES simply means that Rashi
is explaining one verse by citing an OTHER VERSE

One way of doing this is to cross reference a
verse that speaks about the SAME topic but gives
FURTHER details.


STANDARD EXAMPLE
----------------
The following example comes from the Passover
Hagaddah

Dt26-05 states that
-------------------------------
With only a FEW PEOPLE did the
Jews go down to Egypt
-------------------------------

FURTHER DETAILS on the meaning of
the Biblical phrase FEW PEOPLE is
provided in Gn46.

EXERCISE:
---------
Before reading the Rashi try reading
Gn46 yourself and see if you can
discover the further details.

RASHIS SOLUTION
---------------
Rashi cites Gn46-27
-----------------------------
The total number of people who
came with Jacob to Egypt is 70
-----------------------------

Thus the Rashi method of OTHER VERSES
in this case has explained to us that
the FEW PEOPLE that went down to
Egypt refers to SEVENTY people

HOW TO USE THESE LISTS FOR SCHOOL PROJECTS
------------------------------------------
You can use the LIST below for school projects.
Here is how, if you are a teacher then you
can present the verse in the first column
(eg Dt26-05) and the CHAPTER (but not the verse)
in the 3rd column---e.g. Gn46.

The student is then instructed to discover
the further details. The students solution
can then be compared with Rashis.


TODAYS LIST:

The cross references for Dt12-06.
================================================================
VERSE     TEXT OF VERSE    INTERPRETATION         REFERENCE
========= ================ ====================== ==============
Dt12-06a  Slaughterings    Peace Offerings*1 *10  Dt12-27
Dt12-06b  Tithes           e.g. Tithe #2          Dt14-22:27
Dt12-06c  Terumah          First fruits           Dt26-01:11
Dt12-06d  1st Born         1st born*11            Nu18-15:18

NOTES
------
*1 Technically, the Hebrew Zayin-Beth-Cheth could refer to
   ANY slaughtering. But Dt12-27 seems to specifically
   refer to the peace offering

   -------------------------------------------------------
   You will make OLAH OFFERINGS: Flesh AND Blood on altar
   BUT for PEACE(Z-V-C)OFFERINGS: Flesh eaten;blood-altar
   -------------------------------------------------------

   The root Z-V-C seems to refer to any animal (profane
   or sacrificial) that is SLAUGHTERED for eating(And
   the peace offering is a unique sacrifice since it
   is partially eaten by the owners)

---------------------- LONGER FOOTNOTES -------------------------

*10 Rashis exact language is
    --------------------------------------------------
    Peace offerings brought for OBLIGATORY sacrifices
    --------------------------------------------------

    Examining the above list we find no hint that the
    peace offerings are OBLIGATORY

    Lo and behold the noted Rashi commentator the Sifsay
    Chachamim states
    ----------------------------------------------
    Rashi was only giving an example (OBLIGATORY).
    The verse refers to any peace offering
    OBLIGATORY or VOLUNTARY
    ----------------------------------------------

*11 The noted Rashi commentator, the Sifsay Chachamim
    points out that
    ----------------------------------------------
    Technically Israelites do not bring 1st born
    Rather they give it to the priest who offers it
    ----------------------------------------------

    The sifsay chachamim points out that this is
    reflected in Rashis literal language
    ---------------------------------------------
    AND THE 1st BORN: Rashi: These are the 1st born
    which one brings to the priest who offers it
