CORRUPTION & WRATH


RASHIS COVERED: Ex32-07a Ex08-20a Sexual corruption caused flood
Gn38-09a Gn06-11a
Gn06-12a Gn06-13a

VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Gn06-01:12 relates how the sexual corruption of Noachs generation
led God to want to destroy them. Rashi/Chazals interpretation of
CORRUPTION as SEXUAL is based on 4 Rashi techniques:
-- OTHER VERSES:Gn06-05:06 explicitly details sexual corrpution
-- WORD NUANCES:The Hebrew root Shin-Chet-Tauv denotes, not
DESTRUCTION, but gradual DETERIORATION and would denote a
sociey plagued by loose and low behavior
-- WORD NUANCES:The word FLESH denotes people in their capacity
as PHYSICAL BEINGS involved in the physical aspects of reality
-- DATABASE METHODS:Gods wrath is a response to sexual corruption

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RASHI RULES
-WORD MEANINGS:
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain the meanings of words
the same way a dictionary explains meaning. However there are
many ways to explain word meanings. Sometimes Rashi will give
the meaning of an unknown word. Other times Rashi will give
the finer nuances of a word whose meaning is known.For example,
FLESH denotes a person---but in finer detail it denotes people
in their capacity to be involved in this physical world

- OTHER VERSES
Not all Rashis deal with internal analysis based on WORDS and
GRAMMAR. Some Rashis base themselves on inferences from OTHER
VERSES. Thus the Biblical statement in Gn06-11 that people
were corrupted is NOT necessarily interpreted by the nuances of
CORRUPT--it is rather boldly and explicitly supported by the
BRAZEN DESCRIPTION in Gn06-02 that Student Prophets stole Brides
for sexual purposes (A rather punchier defense of Rashi!)

- DATABASE
The Masorites--the scholars like Rashi who preserved the Biblical
text were the King of Databases and frequently used advanced
database methods that are only being discovered today. For
example, simple database methods allow us to query those
attributes associated with Gods wrath and sexual behavior is a
frequent associant.
