Its comment at Sukkah 45a on the phrase ani va-ho is the earliest clear surviving attestation of deriving the seventy two names from the specific verses of Exodus, a checkable textual claim rather than a general appeal to Rashi's standing. Use it to establish what this specific commentary says and when a given interpretive tradition can first be traced to it.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (716 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1A medieval rabbinic commentary by one of Judaism's most authoritative traditional exegetes, a primary text of Jewish scriptural interpretation cited for its own recorded reading rather than for independent historical verification.NotesWell-attestedPublicationYear left NULL deliberately: a manuscript commentary of the later eleventh century, with no single date of composition. Rashi died in 1105, which fixes an upper bound.
