VERSE: Dt12-21b

================= TORAH CROSS REFERENCES ORAL TRADITIONS ========

 BACKGROUND
 ----------
 In a variety of commandments*10 the Torah cross references
 herself.

 THE TEXT
 --------
 For example the Torah at Dt19-08 speaks about the Jews
 GETTING MORE LAND AS GOD HAD PROMISED (See the first row
 in the LIST/TABLE Below) The Biblical phrase as GOD HAD PROMISED
 in turn refers to Gn15-19:21 where indeed God promised
 This clarifies the 3 columns in the LIST below.

 THE RASHI
 ---------
 However Dt12-21b seems to be the only Biblical verse which
 uses the pharse AS GOD PROMISED but there is no cross
 reference. Rashi concludes that this verse cross references
 oral traditions handed to Moses at Sinai

 Here is the LIST*10
=================================================================
VERSE     TEXT OF VERSE              AS IT SAYS
========  ========================== ==============
Dt19-08a  God will give us more land Gn15-19:21
Dt18-02d  Levites will not inherit   Nu18-20
Dt26-18a  Jews will be TREASURED     Ex19-05
Dt26-19a  Jews will be HOLY          Lv20-26
Gn21-01c  God gave Sarah a child     Gn17-19
Ex12-25b  God will give us Israel    Ex06-08
Dt12-21b  Slaughter animals          -*1-----

NOTES
=====
*1 Dt12-21b stands as an exception: The Bible says
   ----------------------------------------------------
   Slaughter the animals AS I HAVE COMMANDED YOU
   ----------------------------------------------------
   but we find no cross reference. Hence, Rashi concludes that
   this verse is an explicit statement that there were
   oral laws transmitted to Moses at Sinai.

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