פרשת השבוע, בא
מאת אבי מורי ר' צבי יודא פרידמן זלל"ה
Shmos 12- 39. ויאפו את הבצק – עוגות מצות
Rashi explains:
"בצק
שלא החמיץ קרוי מצה"
(unleavened dough is called Matzoh)
One of the כללים
(rules) in Rashi is that he explains
the word the
first time, it appears in the Torah or
Gemoro.
Why did Rashi wait
until pasuk # 39 to explain
what matzah is?
The word matzah
appears in Breishis 19 – 3
ומצות אפו ויאכלו.
It
also appears in this Parsha
three times before
this Pasuk (12-39)
1)Shmos 12- 17
ושמרתם את המצות--
2) 12 -18
בערב תאכלו מצות
3) 12- 20.בכל מושבותכם
תאכלו מצות
Why did Rashi not
explain what a Matzah
is in Bereishis or at
least the first time
in this Parsha?
Answer:
The Gemoro יומא ע"ה says:
By the מן (Manna) it is written,
וטחנו- עוגות- לחם,
לחם (bread) was for צדיקים,
וטחנו (needed grinding) for רשעים
עוגות was for the בינונים.
Rashi explains the
word עוגות,"
משמע קודם אפיה"
עוגות is before
it is baked. The בינונים didn’t need
to grind the מן but they still had to bake it.
Accordingly here too
when it says עוגות מצות
It means unbaked
Matzoh dough.
There is no need for
Rashi to explain what a baked
Matzah is. Every child
knows that unleavened baked
bread is called "Matzah".
In Pasuk 12 – 39 where
it says
for the first & only time עוגות מצות, which means unbaked Matzos
Rashi needs to explain
that not only
is an unleavened baked
bread called Matzah,
but also
unleavened dough is
called Matzah.
