Why the repetition of the root \u05d0\u05de\u05e8?
At first glance this question seems legitimate, but the supercommentaries attack Rashi based on the beginning of last week\u2019s (second) parsha:
\u05d3\u05b7\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc-\u05db\u05b8\u05bc\u05dc-\u05e2\u05b2\u05d3\u05b7\u05ea \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9-\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05c2\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc, \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05ea\u05b8\u05bc \u05d0\u05b2\u05dc\u05b5\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them
Rashi there is silent.
Both parshas seem to share this redundancy. Why is Rashi only bothered in our parsha? How do we explain this inconsistency?
The Gur Aryeh (Maharal of Prague) explains that \u05d3\u05b7\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05bc\u05e8 followed by \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b9\u05e8 does not bother Rashi. \u05d3\u05b7\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05bc\u05e8 and \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b9\u05e8 connote two different ways of communication; Moshe should first relay the message and subsequently repeat in more detail. In our parsha, the same word \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b9\u05e8 appears twice, implying that Moshe is to repeat the same speech in identical style.
Now we can appreciate Rashi\u2019s comment: The redundancy of the word \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b9\u05e8 is \u201cto enjoin adults with regard to minors.\u201d Moshe is not repeating the same speech twice. Moshe speaks, and it is upon the parents to relay that message to their children. Children can\u2019t simply learn from the Moshe figures in their lives but need to hear that message directly from their parents. It\u2019s not redundant, and an accurate transmission of that message is critical to their spiritual success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
