Torah Commentary

Characteristics

• Verse by verse / Topical – Rashi's Torah commentary is a local, verse by verse commentary, marked by its succinct and clear style.
• Language of the commentary – Rashi wrote his commentary in Hebrew.  When explaining difficult Biblical words, he often translates them into French to aid his audience.
• Analysis of grammar and language –
• Meaning-minimalist – When defining words, Rashi tends to assume that each root has only one basic meaning (from which any other contextual meanings are derived).⁸  This is evident in his oft-used formulas, "every occurrence of the term "x" has the meaning "y" or "the word "x" means nothing other than "y".⁹

• Peshat and derash – Rashi lays out his attitude towards peshat and derash in a number of programmatic statements, perhaps the most important being his comments to Bereshit 3:8, where he writes: " יש מדרשי אגדה רבים... ואני לא באתי אלא לפשוטו של מקרא, לאגדה המישבת דברי המקרא, ופשוטו ושמועתו, דבר דבור על אופני".‎¹⁰   As even a quick glance at Rashi's commentary betrays that much of it stems from Midrashic sources,¹¹ Rashi's super-commentaries and modern scholars debate how to read Rashi's statement and to what extent he achieved the stated goal.¹²
• Pure exegete – According to some,¹³ Rashi's statement should be taken at face value. He brings derashic explanations only when they serve to answer a textual or conceptual question.¹⁴
• Also educator – Others disagree¹⁵ suggesting that sometimes Rashi will incorporate midrashim only for their pedagogic value, even when there is no textual difficulty.¹⁶ Rashi's goal was not only to explain the text but to educate his audience to proper values, combat Christian claims and give an oppressed people hope.
• Did not go far enough – It is also possible that Rashi aimed to explain the text according to "פשוטו של מקרא", but did not totally achieve his goal.  See Rashbam Bereshit 37:2, who famously says of his grandfather: " והודה לי שאילו היה לו פנאי היה צריך לעשות פרושים אחרים לפי הפשטות המתחדשים בכל יום".‎¹⁷ 

Methods

• Selective use of Midrash – Rashi incorporates much Midrashic material into his commentary,¹⁸  to the extent that it might even be termed a "Midrashic anthology".¹⁹ Rashi's goal, however, is clearly not to simply collect and preserve such material, as he is extremely selective in what he chooses to incorporate, moving, combining, and reworking Midrashim for his purposes:²⁰
• At times, Rashi simply references a Midrash, without discussion.²¹
• Sometimes Rashi cites a Midrash originally brought to elucidate a certain verse and uses it to explain a totally different verse.²²
• Rashi might refer to a Midrash in his comments to only one verse even though the original discussed more than one.²³
• Rashi may choose only one from several possible Midrashim on a verse.²⁴
• Often too, Rashi will rework a Midrash or combine several into one explanation.
• Way of the text (דרכי המקראות) – In explaining linguistic or grammatical anomalies, Rashi will often note that these are simply "the way of the text" and not really difficult forms at all. Several examples follow:
• Androgynous nouns – Rashi notes that many nouns might be treated as both masculine and feminine. See his comments to Bereshit 32:9Bereshit 3:8Bereshit 3:22Bereshit 3:24Bereshit 4:8Bereshit 4:15Bereshit 5:1Bereshit 6:3Bereshit 9:6Bereshit 11:32Bereshit 13:6Bereshit 13:11Bereshit 14:15Bereshit 14:24Bereshit 15:10Bereshit 19:15Bereshit 20:16Bereshit 22:2Bereshit 24:28Bereshit 24:52Bereshit 26:4Bereshit 27:41Bereshit 29:2Bereshit 32:9Bereshit 33:14Bereshit 35:27Bereshit 37:29Bereshit 39:14Bereshit 41:1Bereshit 41:49Bereshit 48:1-2Bereshit 49:22Shemot 3:2Shemot 4:20Shemot 6:9Shemot 6:12Shemot 13:12Shemot 13:17Shemot 19:25Shemot 21:22Shemot 22:22-24Shemot 23:2Shemot 28:4Shemot 28:41Shemot 32:26Shemot 32:31Shemot 32:32Shemot 33:13Shemot 33:13Shemot 35:17Shemot 35:34Vayikra 10:19Bemidbar 9:1Bemidbar 12:13Bemidbar 21:29Bemidbar 22:35Bemidbar 26:59Bemidbar 27:15Bemidbar 31:21Bemidbar 35:25Devarim 3:23Devarim 32:48Shemuel I 1:9Shemuel I 13:8Shemuel II 5:8Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 35:9Yechezkel 2:9Yechezkel 16:43Chavakkuk 1:10Tehillim 8:8Tehillim 116:11Shir HaShirim IntroductionShir HaShirim 2:7Eikhah 1:1Esther 1:18About R.

• ה' הידיעה in a double name – Rashi explains that when a name has two parts (such as Beit El or Kiryat Arba), it is the second word which takes the definite article. See his comments to Bereshit 35:27Bereshit 3:8Bereshit 3:22Bereshit 3:24Bereshit 4:8Bereshit 4:15Bereshit 5:1Bereshit 6:3Bereshit 9:6Bereshit 11:32Bereshit 13:6Bereshit 13:11Bereshit 14:15Bereshit 14:24Bereshit 15:10Bereshit 19:15Bereshit 20:16Bereshit 22:2Bereshit 24:28Bereshit 24:52Bereshit 26:4Bereshit 27:41Bereshit 29:2Bereshit 32:9Bereshit 33:14Bereshit 35:27Bereshit 37:29Bereshit 39:14Bereshit 41:1Bereshit 41:49Bereshit 48:1-2Bereshit 49:22Shemot 3:2Shemot 4:20Shemot 6:9Shemot 6:12Shemot 13:12Shemot 13:17Shemot 19:25Shemot 21:22Shemot 22:22-24Shemot 23:2Shemot 28:4Shemot 28:41Shemot 32:26Shemot 32:31Shemot 32:32Shemot 33:13Shemot 33:13Shemot 35:17Shemot 35:34Vayikra 10:19Bemidbar 9:1Bemidbar 12:13Bemidbar 21:29Bemidbar 22:35Bemidbar 26:59Bemidbar 27:15Bemidbar 31:21Bemidbar 35:25Devarim 3:23Devarim 32:48Shemuel I 1:9Shemuel I 13:8Shemuel II 5:8Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 35:9Yechezkel 2:9Yechezkel 16:43Chavakkuk 1:10Tehillim 8:8Tehillim 116:11Shir HaShirim IntroductionShir HaShirim 2:7Eikhah 1:1Esther 1:18About R. Shelomo Yitzchaki.
• Truncated Verses (מקרא קצר)²⁵ – Rashi notes many examples in which a verse is missing either a subject,²⁶ object,²⁷ part of the predicate,²⁸ or part of a conditional statement.²⁹ In some cases he explicitly notes that the verse is a  "מקרא קצר", while in other cases he simply fills in the missing section.³⁰
• Way of the World (דרך ארץ) – Rashi often points to the realia of the time of Tanakh,³¹ his own day,³² or to general human behavior/modes of speech³³ to understand the actions of Biblical characters or the nature of unfamiliar objects, practices or terminology.
• Issues of Chronology
• ‎אין מוקדם ומאוחר בתורה‎‎³⁴ – Rashi often remarks when a story or verse is not recorded in its proper place,³⁵ noting that "אין מוקדם ומאוחר בתורה".‎³⁶ He generally explains the difficulty in the verses which leads him to such conclusions, but only rarely explains why Tanakh chose to veer from the proper order.  In the few places which he does, he offers a homiletical reason rather than a literary one.³⁷ In the vast majority of cases, Rashi is drawing off earlier Rabbinic sources who similarly claim achronology.³⁸
• סמיכות פרשיות –
• Omnisignificance –
• Character consolidation – Rashi often identifies anonymous³⁹ or lesser known Biblical figures with more well known characters⁴⁰ or figures with the same or similar names one with another.⁴¹ 
  

Themes

• Love of the Nation and Land of Israel – This themes is prevalent throughout the commentary. For example, in his first comment to four of the five books of Torah, Rashi mentions Hashem's love for the nation.
• Positive portrayal of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs –
• Defense – Rashi consistently attempts to explain away apparent faults or sins of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs. 
• Often he will reinterpret the apparent misdeed. For instance, see his understanding of Avraham's apparent lack of faith in questioning, "במה אדע כי אירשנה", his defense of Yaakov for his role in taking the blessing, his explanation of Rachel's jealousy and stealing of her father's idols, or his minimizing of Reuven's sin with Bilhah.
• At times, too, Rashi defends the Patriarchs not by minimizing their deeds, but by aggravating the sins of others.  For example, see his justifying of Sarah's banishment of Yishmael and Yaakov's buying of the birthright by depicting both Yishmael and Esav as grave sinners.
• Praise – Rashi also emphasizes positive evaluations or behavior not explicit in the text.
• For example, see Vayikra 10:3 - presenting Nadav and Avihu as holier than Moshe and Aharon,
• Negative attitude towards Gentiles –
• Biblical characters –  See Rashi's negative portrayal of Lot (Bereshit 13:7-14, 18:4, 19:16), Yishmael (16:12, 21:9,14, 17), Esav (), Bilam.⁴²
• Gentiles at large –
• Educating towards values – Rashi's commentary includes many lessons for his readers. Some themes which appear repeatedly include: the evils of slander or gossip,⁴³ the importance of compassion for the disadvantaged,⁴⁴ the need for humility and dangers of pride.⁴⁵

¹ Maharshal in Responsum #29 states that Rashi was born in year 4800 (1039-1040). A. Grossman (חכמי צרפת הראשונים, pg. 122), however, cites manuscripts (MS Jerusalem 3616, MS Zurich Heid. 145 p. 71v) who date Rashi's birth to year 4801 (1040-1041), and explains the Maharshal's date, as well as the age at death of 65 (mentioned in various sources), to be round numbers.

² This date, Thursday, 29 Tammuz 4865, is found in the colophons of a number of manuscripts of Rashi’s commentary on Torah (MS Casanatense 2848, MS Parma 3115), in addition to a number of other early sources (including MS Moscow 109 p. 73).

³ Rachel is mentioned in a responsa written by R. Tam (Sefer HaYashar Teshuvot #25) to his cousin R. Yom Tov, referring to their joint aunt Rachel ("מרת רחל דודתנו"), who had been divorced.

⁴ Sefer HaNeyyar (Hilkhot Chol HaMoed pg. 110) mentions Rashi mourning for his daughter during Chol HaMoed.

⁵ This granddaughter of Rashi was the mother of R. Yitzchak b. Shemuel, known as ר"י הזקן.

⁶ Rashi's commentaries on Ta'anit, Nedarim, Nazir, Bava Batra (from 29b onward), and Makkot (from 20a onward) have not survived.

⁷ These responsa were collected mainly from the works of Rashi's students.

⁸ For a comprehensive analysis of this theory of primary meanings and how Rashi was a pioneer in promoting the idea, see Dr. R.

Shelomo Yitzchaki, Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 26:11About R. Shelomo Yitzchaki where he writes similarly.  In such statements, Rashi appears to be saying that his main goal is to explain the simple sense of scripture, and that he will incorporate Midrashic material only if it helps achieve that goal and is harmonious with the verses.  From the collected comments above, it seems that he means that the Midrash must accord with the language, grammar, order and context of the verses.

¹¹ See G. Cohen, "פרשנות המדרשית במפעלה התורני של נחמה", Pirkei Nechama: Sefer Zikkaron LeNechama Leibowitz (Jerusalem, 2001): 96, who estimates that about 70 percent of Rashi's commentary stems from Rabbinic sources.   In fact, many of the Midrashim known to the average layman are familiar not because they have been studied in Tanchuma, Bereshit Rabbah or any other primary source, but via Rashi's commentary.

¹² As will be seen below, the issue is intrinsically related to another question: whether Rashi's purpose in writing his commentary was purely to explicate the text, or also to instill moral values in his audience.

¹³ See David Pardo's super-commentary on Rashi, Maskil LeDavid, on Vayikra 5:17, "וידוע הוא שאין דרכו של רש"י בפירושו לאתויי ממילי דאגדתא אלא מה שצריך להבנת הכתוב ומה שמתיישב בו המקרא דיבור על אופניו. ואין עוד מלבדו".  Among modern scholars, Nechama Leibowitz most famously takes this position, writing, "ונראה שניתן להוכיח... שהבאת מדרשים ובחירתם בפירושו לכל התורה לא היתה אלא לצורך פרשני לבד ולא לשם קישוט דברי תורה בפניני חז"ל" [See N. Leibowitz, "דרכו של רש"יבהבאת מדרשים בפירושו לתורה", Iyyunim Chadashim BeSefer Shemot (Jerusalem, 1970): 503].  According to her, Rashi is a pure exegete whose sole goal is to explicate the Biblical text.  It is to this end only that he brings Midrashim,  not to relay moral lessons or sermons.

¹⁴ Every time that Rashi cites a Midrash, this school will question "what is bothering Rashi", attempting to find the difficulty in the verse which the Rabbinic material is coming to address, even if it not apparent at first glance.  See, for instance, S. Gelbard, "אגדה מיישבת מקרא", Pirkei Nechama: Sefer Zikkaron LeNechama Leibowitz (Jerusalem, 2001): 177-186, who brings many cases where the textual difficulty in a verse is not readily apparent, and attempts to show what problem Rashi is nonetheless addressing. He notes several categories of difficulties, including: internal conceptual inconsistencies, doublings or superfluous information, grammatical anomalies, issues of order and context, gaps or missing details, and stylistic inconsistencies.

¹⁵ Among Rashi's super-commentaries, see R"E Mizrachi Bereshit 12:1, who notes that even when the verse's language does not call for it, Rashi might bring a Midrashic explanation "דהיכא דאיכא למידרש דרשינן". Beer Yitzchak Bereshit 37:14 similarly notes that Rashi does not always aim to address a textual difficulty when bringing a Midrash, writing: "לא מהכרח הכתבוים דרש".  See also R"A Bakrat Devarim 13:9, who suggests that when Rashi writes "ואני ליישב פשוטו של מקרא באתי" this refers only to the specific verse upon which he is commentating; it is not a description of his methodology as a whole.
Among modern scholars, see A. Grossman  who asserts that Rashi sometimes brings midrashic material due to religious polemics or for its moral messages. He writes, "לא רק מטרות פרשניות טהורות הינחו את רש"י... הנחתו הבסיסית של רש"י היא, שמאחר שמטרת התורה היא לחנך לאמונה בה' וקיום מצוותיו, חייב המפרש להשתלב במגמה זו ולא להסתפק בפירוש בלבד....במקרים שהדרשה נראית חיונית מן הבחינה החינוכית, יש להביאה גם אם הקשר בינה ובין לשון הכתובים רופף מאד. השאלה המפורסמת שהייתה אהובה כל כך על נחמה, מה קשה לרש"י, מתאימה לרבים מן פירושיו, אך לא לכולם".

¹⁶ For example,

¹⁷ See also Ibn Ezra, more negatively:  "והדורות הבאים שמו כל דרש עיקר ושרש כרב שלמה ז"ל שפירש התורה, נביאים וכתובים, על דרך דרש והוא חושב  כי הוא על דרך פשט, ואין בספריו פשט רק אחד מני אלף ..." (שפה ברורה, מהדורת מ' וילנסקי (ירושלים, תשל"ח): 64)

¹⁸ See above that G. Cohen, (cited above), estimates that about 70 percent of the commentary stems from Rabbinic sources.

¹⁹ See Y. Eisenstat, "Rashi's Midrashic Anthology: The Torah Commentary Re-Examined", PhD diss. (The Jewish Theological Seminary, 2014) who discusses the anthological nature of Rashi's commentary and how its form matches similar Medieval anthologies. Eisenstat stresses the difference between a "collection" and an "anthology", noting that the latter involves strict selection, and discusses some of the principles that guided Rashi's choices.

²⁰ In fact, one might even argue that one of Rashi's major contributions to Biblical exegesis was this reworking of Midrashic material.  Many of the examples below are taken from N. Leibowitz, "דרכו של רש"יבהבאת מדרשים בפירושו לתורה", cited above.

Shelomo Yitzchaki  N. Leibowitz (ibid) suggests that in cases such as these, Rashi dismisses the Midrash as it does not fit with the context of the verses. As such, he often follows the reference with statements such as "ואין מיושבין על פשוטו" or "ואני ליישב המקראות באתי", effectively saying that the Midrash does not correlate with the simple sense of the verses.  It is not clear, however, why Rashi does not simply ignore the Midrash altogether in these cases. It is possible that when Rashi knew that certain Midrashim would have been very familiar to his audience, he felt a need to note them.

²² Several examples follow. 

• Rashi references the Midrash brought by Bereshit Rabbah 60:638:741:760:684:1584:19About Bereshit Rabbah on Bereshit 24:26 (regarding learning from Avraham's servant to express gratitude after success) in his comments to Bereshit 24:52Bereshit 3:8Bereshit 3:22Bereshit 3:24Bereshit 4:8Bereshit 4:15Bereshit 5:1Bereshit 6:3Bereshit 9:6Bereshit 11:32Bereshit 13:6Bereshit 14:15Bereshit 14:24Bereshit 15:10Bereshit 19:15Bereshit 20:16Bereshit 22:2Bereshit 24:28Bereshit 24:52Bereshit 26:4Bereshit 27:41Bereshit 29:2Bereshit 32:9Bereshit 33:14Bereshit 35:27Bereshit 37:29Bereshit 39:14Bereshit 41:1Bereshit 41:49Bereshit 48:1-2Bereshit 49:22Shemot 3:2Shemot 4:20Shemot 6:9Shemot 6:12Shemot 13:12Shemot 13:17Shemot 19:25Shemot 21:22Shemot 22:22-24Shemot 23:2Shemot 28:4Shemot 28:41Shemot 32:26Shemot 32:31Shemot 32:32Shemot 33:13Shemot 33:13Shemot 35:17Shemot 35:34Vayikra 10:19Bemidbar 9:1Bemidbar 12:13Bemidbar 21:29Bemidbar 22:35Bemidbar 26:59Bemidbar 27:15Bemidbar 31:21Bemidbar 35:25Devarim 3:23Devarim 32:48Shemuel I 1:9Shemuel I 13:8Shemuel II 5:8Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 35:9Yechezkel 2:9Yechezkel 16:43Chavakkuk 1:10Tehillim 8:8Tehillim 116:11Shir HaShirim IntroductionShir HaShirim 2:7Eikhah 1:1Esther 1:18About R.

Though in both verses Bilam is told to "go" (and permitted to do as he desired), it is only after verse 35 that he no longer faces any obstacles or attempts at dissuasion.

• Bavli BerakhotBerakhot 32aAbout Bavli Berakhot learns from Devarim 1:1, "ודי זהב" that Moshe defended the nation for sinning with the Calf by blaming Hashem for giving them too much gold.  Rashi speaks of this not in his comments to Devarim, but rather on Shemot 32:31Bereshit 3:8Bereshit 3:22Bereshit 3:24Bereshit 4:8Bereshit 4:15Bereshit 5:1Bereshit 6:3Bereshit 9:6Bereshit 11:32Bereshit 13:6Bereshit 14:15Bereshit 14:24Bereshit 15:10Bereshit 19:15Bereshit 20:16Bereshit 22:2Bereshit 24:28Bereshit 24:52Bereshit 26:4Bereshit 27:41Bereshit 29:2Bereshit 32:9Bereshit 33:14Bereshit 35:27Bereshit 37:29Bereshit 39:14Bereshit 41:1Bereshit 41:49Bereshit 48:1-2Bereshit 49:22Shemot 3:2Shemot 4:20Shemot 6:9Shemot 6:12Shemot 13:12Shemot 13:17Shemot 19:25Shemot 21:22Shemot 22:22-24Shemot 23:2Shemot 28:4Shemot 28:41Shemot 32:26Shemot 32:31Shemot 32:32Shemot 33:13Shemot 33:13Shemot 35:17Shemot 35:34Vayikra 10:19Bemidbar 9:1Bemidbar 12:13Bemidbar 21:29Bemidbar 22:35Bemidbar 26:59Bemidbar 27:15Bemidbar 31:21Bemidbar 35:25Devarim 3:23Devarim 32:48Shemuel I 1:9Shemuel I 13:8Shemuel II 5:8Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 26:11Yeshayahu 35:9Yechezkel 2:9Yechezkel 16:43Chavakkuk 1:10Tehillim 8:8Tehillim 116:11Shir HaShirim IntroductionShir HaShirim 2:7Eikhah 1:1Esther 1:18About R.

Shelomo Yitzchaki, Rashi brings two reasons to explain Reuven's absence during the sale of Yosef (that he had gone to serve his father or that he was fasting and praying to repent of his sin with Bilhah). In Bereshit Rabbah 84:1538:741:760:684:1584:19About Bereshit Rabbah and 84:1938:741:760:684:1584:19About Bereshit Rabbah, only the second reason (Reuven's repenting) is connected to the verse and sale, while the first reason (that he left to serve his father) is connected, instead, to Bereshit 37:21 (וַיִּשְׁמַע רְאוּבֵן).  It is possible that Rashi found no textual difficulty in verse 21 and no reason to assume that Reuven was absent at that point, leading him to use the explanation only later.

³⁵ He will suggest this about both individual verses (or even clauses) and entire stories or prophecies.  See his comments to Bereshit 6:3, 11:32, 18:3, 35:29, Shemot 4:20, 18:13, 19:11 and 24:1, 31:18, Vayikra 8:2, Bemidbar 9:1, 10:35, Yehoshua 2:1, Yehoshua 8:30, Melakhim I 3:3, Yeshayahu 1:1, Yirmeyahu 26:1,Yechezkel 1:3, 29:17, Tehillim 72:20.

³⁶ Rashi does not explicitly mention the rule in every instance in which he applies it.  He does so in his comments to Bereshit 6:3, 35:29, Shemot 4:20, 19:11, 31:18, Vayikra 8:2 and Bemidbar 9:1.  In the Prophets he uses the slightly different formulation of "אין מוקדם ומאוחר בספר" in Yehoshua 8:30, Yeshayahu 1:1, Yechezkel 1:3 and 29:17 and Tehillim 72:20.  Elsewhere, Rashi mentions the achronology without noting that it is part of a more general pattern. [He will use language such as, "אין פרשה זו כתובה כסדר", "פרשה זו נאמרה קודם" and the like.  In one instance, Bereshit 18:3, he notes that "it is the way of the text" to sometimes the switch the order.]

³⁷ See Rashi Bereshit 11:32, where he explains that the verses tell of Terach's death before Avraham's departure to Canaan to obscure the fact that Avraham left his father in old age, lest anyone claim that Avraham was lax in his respect for his father. See also Rashi Bemidbar 9 where Rashi explains that Sefer Bemidbar does not open chronologically with the observance of Pesach in the second year in the Wilderness, so as not to highlight that this was the only time n the forty years that the law was observed. In both cases, Rashi suggests that the Torah's goal is to ensure that our ancestor's good names not be besmirched.

³⁸ At times, too, he posits acholonology only according to a specific Midrashic understanding of a verse.  See, for instance, his comments to Bereshit 18:3.

³⁹ For example, Rashi identifies the refugee from war with Og (Bereshit 14:13), the youth who helps Avraham prepare for his guests with Yishmael (Bereshit 18:7), the two youths who accompany Avraham to the Akeidah with Yishmael and Eliezer (Bereshit 22:3), Avraham's servant who went to find a wife for Yitchak with Eliezer (Bereshit 24:39, 42, where this is simply assumed), Yosef's interpreter with Menashe (Bereshit 42:23),  the tale-bearers in Shemot 2:13 and those who leave over from the manna in Shemot 16:20 with Datan and Aviram, the youth who tells Moshe of Eldad and Meidad's prophesying with Gershom (Bemidbar 11:27), the straw gatherer with Tzelophchad (Bemidbar 27:3), the creditor who bothers the wife of one of "בני הנביאים" with King Yehoram, and her husband with Ovadia (Melakhim II 4:1).

⁴⁰ See, for example, his identification of Yiskah and Sarah (Bereshit 11:29), Malkitzedek and Shem (Bereshit 14:18), Keturah with Hagar (Bereshit 25:1), Shimon's wife and Dina (Bereshit 46:10), Shifra and Puah with Yocheved and Miryam (Shemot 1:15), Chovav, Reuel and others with Yitro (Shemot 18:1), Moshe's Cushite wife and Tzipporah (Bemidbar 12:1-4),  the judge Ivzan and Boaz (Shofetim 12:8), and Lemuel with Shelomo (Mishlei 31:1).

⁴¹ See, for instance, the identification of Potiphar with Potiphera (Bereshit 41:45), Yoel the son of Shemuel with the prophet Yoel (Yoel 1:1), Ovadia, the steward of Achav with the prophet of the same name (Ovadiah 1:1), Daniel of Yechezkel 14 with Daniel of the Book of Daniel (Yechezkel 14:14).

⁴² See also his depiction of Efron as one who "says a lot but does little" (Bereshit 23:16).

⁴³ See Rashi on Bereshit 37:2 (where Rashi emphasizes that Yosef's slandering of his brothers was the cause of his later troubles) Shemot 2:14 (where Rashi has Moshe justify the nation's suffering as being deserved punishment for slander), Shemot 4:3-8 (where Rashi has Hashem chastise Moshe for speaking ill against the nation), Vayikra 13:46 and 14:4 (where Rashi explains that tzara'at is punishment for slander specifically. See also Rashi's comments to Bemidbar 13:2, 21:6, 33:18, Devarim 22:13, 24:9 and 27:24.

⁴⁴ See Rashi's comments to Shemot 22:24 (where Rashi highlights the need to treat the poor with dignity and the importance of empathy), Vayikra 1:7-8, 17 (where he emphasizes that in Hashem's eyes the worth of a person is unrelated to their economic status), Vayikra 23:35 (where Rashi teaches the importance of helping someone before they fall so low that it is difficult to get back on one's feet), Devarim 16:11 (where Rashi emphasizes Hashem's special relationship with the disadvantaged), and Devarim 24:14, 17 (where Rashi notes that Torah views defrauding a pauper more severely than doing the same to others). [The examples brought here are taken from Dr. A. Rock, "The Moral and Educational Philosophy of Rashi".]
