This series is devoted to the 2 dozen Rashis that deal
with the Rabbi Ishmael rule of
        >two complementary verses




It turns out there are 5 ways that Rabbi Ishmael deals with
        >two complementary verses



In part 1 we showed the method of
        >2 verses = 2 ASPECTS of the same entity
Thus
        >ISRAEL sent a delegation to Edom
        >MOSES sent a delegation to Edom
perceive
        >MOSES as the representative of Israel




A reader completing the reading of this dozen-example-module
will have minimum proficiency in appreciating how this rule
of Rabbi Ishmael works (If this module works out we will
try and develop modules for the other 12 principles).

In this issue we show another example of how
        >2 verses indicate 2 STAGES of the same process

EXAMPLE 2
---------
2-15-1 and 2-15-4 describe the destruction of the Egyptian
Army using the words
        >God LIFTED them into the sea
        >God SHOT them into the sea
So Rashi Is Simple
        >Like an archer SHOOTING an arrow UPWARD
        >which then falls down
First the Egyptians come to the sea elated and convinced
that they had the upper hand (LIFTED) and then they drown--
so it appears that God SHOT them from Egypt into the sea.
Such a statement heightens the miracle (since it shows
Gods TOTAL CONTROL over the situation--He could kill the
Egyptians at the exact moment He chose)
