RASHI: opening question in Bereshit re ERETZ CANAAN
ASSUMPTIONS:
-
- Eretz Yisrael was given to Canaanites termporarily
- IYOV was a tzadik
- as such, he provided TZADIK type protection from Canaanite enemies (Bnei Yisrael)
- MOSHEH needed to know whether IYOV was still alive
-
ETZ is the metaphor for IYOV
-
Be prepared:
If presented correctly
This MIDRASHIC option will stupefy the class and students will question how otherwise logical people [ Chazzal and Rashi et al ] could even consider such a flimsy explanation.
The agenda could then turn to the parameters under which MIDRASH functions.
The problem was duly acknowledged and left for a discussion at some time in the future.
