Question
Hello Rabbi, The Rabbi mentioned that due to the matter of drash and pshat, it is not possible to say for certain that the Amora or Tanna understood the verse as the Rishon or Acharon explained. So if we clearly see that the Tanna or Amora is speaking about a matter of pshat, can we say that according to that Rishon or Acharon [who explained the verse itself according to pshat and not related to the Gemara], it can be said that the Amora or Tanna understood the verse in that way according to the Rishon or Acharon? And what I said also applies to drash. Is this correct?
Answer
Hello,
There is no necessity.
It is very common that the Rishonim and Acharonim understood the pshat of the verse differently, even though in the Gemara or Midrash it was interpreted in another way.
