RASHIS COVERED: Nu23-19a

========================= Nu23-19a =============================

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
A powerful but simple Rashi method is the CITATION or CROSS-
REFERENCING of an OTHER VERSE for the purpose of adding
FURTHER DETAILS to a verse we are studying.  We call this
the Rashi METHOD of OTHER VERSES and the Rashi submethod
of FURTHER DETAILS

EXAMPLE Nu23-19a
----------------
Nu23-19a
--------------------------------
GOd doesn't double cross...
If he says will he not keep...
--------------------------------

The reference to God keeping his word refers to
an OTHER VERSE Ex06-04:08 states
---------------------------------
I God will take you out of Egypt
and bring you to Israel
---------------------------------

In other words
- since God promised the Jews Israel
- therefore, they can't die now in the wilderness
  as you requested since God would not be able
  to bring them to Israel.

NOTES
-----
*1 Unlike other cases of ritual impurity the Lepor is
   - ostracized from all his friends
   - must declare himself impure and separate himself
   Hence he is like someone dead (that is like a dead body
   he is REPULSIVE)*10

---------------------  LONGER FOOTNOTES ---------------------
*10 Rashi gives an alternate argument
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Both the LEPOR and DEAD transmit a status of ritual
    impurity to a person who merely walks into the same
    room with them
    -----------------------------------------------------

    However we would summarize this Rashi argument as follows
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Both the LEPOR and DEAD are considered REPULSIVE. Hence
    - merely being in the same room with them confers impurity
    - People AVOID both the LEPOR and DEAD BODY
    ---------------------------------------------------------

    Such an approach to Rashi is deeper and more satisfying
    and sheds light on the analogy.
