From the forward: "This work may be used as a commentary and it could also be used as a continuous book. These comments are replete with cross-references, indicated by numbers of chapter and verse in parenthesis. Because frequently a number of comments are given for the same verse, it may be necessary to read all the comments on that verse in order to understand the intention of the cross-reference. It is suggested that the reader hold a copy of the Torah text while perusing these comments."
