N2 - One of the main exegetical techniques that Rashbam employs in his biblical commentaries is to cite biblical verses as support for his interpretations. His explanations contain hundreds of cited verses, but his purpose in citing them is not always the same. Our aim in this article is to examine the terms that Rashbam uses in referring to the verses that he cites. We first present the different categories of cited verses in Rashbam's commentaries on the Torah and on Ecclesiastes. We then present the different terms that Rashbam uses in citing verses. The evidence demonstrates that, contrary to the prevailing opinion among scholars, in his commentary on the Torah Rashbam usually employs a systematic and fixed terminology when referring to cited verses.
