SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis goals is to make broad database queries exposing
patterns.

EXAMPLE
-------
We list below several objects named by future events which
however had not yet occurred at the time of discussion. For
example Noach was told to take 7 KOSHER animals even though
the laws of Kashruth were not yet given.

NOTES
-----
*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
