창세기 9:30의 Chasidut
Kedushat Levi
Genesis 25,13. “And these are the names of Yishmael’s children according to their names and their further developments.” According to Rashi the line is to be understood as the Torah recording the names in the chronological order in which they were born. The reason why Rashi emphasizes this is because there are numerous occasions when the Torah does not list the name of the children in this order, for instance: Genesis 9,18 when the Torah lists the names of Noach’s sons as שם, חם, ויפת, naming שם first, although Yaphet was the firstborn. Similarly, in Genesis 25,9 where Avraham’s burial is described, Yitzchok is mentioned ahead of his older brother Yishmael as he was the more righteous of the two.
