SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Sometimes Rashi will make sweeping pattern inferences from
broad database inquiries. We call this the Rashi method
of DATABASES.

EXAMPLE: Gods name Shadai
-------------------------
Gods traditional Hebrew names in the Bible are Kayl, Hashem,
Elo-him, A-do-nai etc. The name Shadai is used very rarely.
It seems to be used when God shows immediate and great force
The following situations show immediate force by God=Shadai

------------------------------------------------------------
Ru01-20 Naomi immediately punished for forsaking Jews
Gn49-25 Jacob blesses Joseph with power in his rulership
Gn43-14 Jacob prays that God use force to free hostage sons
Nu24-04 Bilam knew God as God of force and killed 24000
Gn38-11 Blessings of fruitfullness requires Gods power
Gn17-01 God blesses Abraham with fruitfullness
------------------------------------------------------------

LONGER FOOTNOTES
 

*10 Several comments are in order. Rashi says (Ex06-03b)
---------------------------------------------------
I appeared to Patriarchs in ALL promises as Shadai
---------------------------------------------------

We have to interpret this as
-----------------------------------
The name Shadai only occurs by Patriarchs
-----------------------------------

It cannot mean that
-------------------------------------
Only name Shadai was used by Patriarchs
-------------------------------------

since that is not true. That is by the Patriarchs we find
both traditional names of God and Shadai while by say Moses
we NEVER find the name of Shadai


The other comment is that we see in the above list that
God appeared to Abraham and Jacob BUT NOT TO ISAAC using
the name of SHADAI.

Rashi however explicitly says (Ex06-03a)
-----------------------------------------------
I God appeared to THE PATRIARCHS (all of them) as Shadai
-----------------------------------------------

There are several ways to interpret this---for example
God promised Isaac the blessings of Abraham which were
introduced with Shadai even though God didnt use Shadai
with Isaac.
