What I did today

What I did today: Attempt to write a post about how the Midrash Raba's understanding of the gifts presented by the tribal leaders is different from the explanation given by the Sifri.

Why I am not posting it: Because my whole premise was garbage, as I realized much later than I should have.

What I will point out: The famous explanation of the gifts, given by Rashi, is not even close to the whole story, and here, yet again, we have mutually exclusive midrashim.
