SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi frequently comments by making broad database queries
and noting patterns.

EXAMPLE-Lv21-01a
-------------------------
We make a query of Gods commands to give instructions

We find three command phrasings:
- God can say TELL THEM
- God can say TELL THEM TO SAY OVER
- Or God can say TELL THEM...SPEAK ABOUT THEM

- TELL THEM is used in one-time situations or
rare situations
- TELL THEM TO SAY OVER is used on items that
people should be educated on
- TELL THEM ..SPEAK ABOUT THEM is used on basic
religious principles---the idea seems to be
that we should tell them(eg the adults tell
children)
A review of actual verses bears out this trichotomy

COMMENTS
*1 TELL THEM is used in one-time or rare situations

*2 TELL THEM TO SAY OVER is used in items that you
want people educated on

*3 TELL THEM...SAY ABOUT THEM is used in items
that have fundamental religious value---it
seems to indicate that the adults should tell
THEM (eg instruct the children)*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES

*10 We should compare the method of this list(DATABASES)
to traditional Rashi methods.

Traditional Rashi methods emphasize the QUESTION
and the DISTINCTION. They would infer the above
by examining the nuances of TO SAY OVER or TO SAY
ABOUT THEM.

In the database method however we emphasize two
additional points
- we emphasize that the distinction is used over
and over again

- we emphasize that the nuances of different
phrases does not just come from examining
phraseology itself but also by examining the
content of the verses associated with them
