AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RASHI é"ùøAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

This is because [of the concept contained in the verse,] :óeMÌô is called ±ÓþÓL; :±ÓþÓL −eþÖš
“He declared the power of His works to His people BnÔ¼Ðñð−ÌbÌíî−ÖNμÔôÔìÒk among winged creatures: e.g., flies, ;ó−ÌëeëÐï öBèÐk ,¹B¼Öa

they were, therefore, not blessed öÖ×ÐþÑëêGCÔ×Ðñ
so that he [the serpent] not be included in their blessing. :ñÖñÐ×Ìa êeí êÑíÐ−êHÓL
1 Shemos 12, 1. 2 The Torah serves primarily to teach God’s laws. Thus Rashi wonders why not begin with the first
of the mitzvos. 3 Tehillim 111, 6. 4 I.e., the Land of Israel. 5 Because to interpret it simply as relating the sequence
of creation is impossible as Rashi goes on to explain. 6 Bereishis Rabbah 1, 6. 7 Mishlei 8, 22. 8 Yirmiyahu 2, 3. 60 Bava Basra 74b. 61 The water creatures were blessed. Why do we find no such blessing for the land creatures?
9 ³−¾êþë is thus interpreted as ³−¾êþ ñ−ë¾ë, i.e., for the sake of those that are called ³−¾êþ—the Torah and Israel. 62 To be fruitful and multiply.
