Given: Rashi at times uses Gematriyas<br>Also Given: there are countless Times that the Ba'al Hatuirm uses a Gematriya where Rashi does not use one.<br>What can we say about this?<br><ol><li>Is it fair to conclude that if Rashi wanted to, he WOULD have used the same Gematriya as the Tur?
<br>Or</li><li>Is Rashi's silence on a given Gmeatirya say nothing in particular?<br><br></li><li>Is Rashi [or any parshan] always giving THE DEFINITIVE exhaustive peshat?<br>Or</li><li>Is the Peirush simply selecting one of several valid options w/o necessarily rejecting other possible explanations?
