SUCCINCT SUMMARY ---------------- One of Rashis goals is to make broad database queries exposing patterns. EXAMPLE Gn19-01d ---------------- We can make a Database query on all Biblical occurrences of Lot and investigate his moral behavior. We find that Lot was frequently immoral such as - his committment of incest - his bickering over property with Abraham - his desire for materialism even in bad neighborhoods But we find moral aspects of Lot such as - his practice of hospitality - his committment to justice Rashi suggests that Lot learned his moral practices from Abraham. EXAMPLE Gn19-11c ---------------- We can make a database inquiry on how GROUPS of people are ordered. We find that the RESPECTFUL Order is HIGHEST to LOWEST eg - Moses, Aaron, Priests, Elder, the people Several examples of such orderings are presented We however find the THE LOWEST TO HIGHEST order in places of disrespect - The Sedomites from KIDS TO ADULTS gathered - The Angels punished the Sedomites from KIDS TO ADULTS The KIDS to ADULTS order indicates actions taken without consulting with superiors. | ||

Query of Moral(Judge,Kind) vs Immoral acts of Lot | |||
| VERSE | (IM)MORAL? | VERSE SHOWS FOLLOWING ATTRIBUTES OF LOT | |
| Gn19-33 | IMMORAL | Lot committed INCEST with his daughters | |
| Gn13-07 | IMMORAL | Lot FOUGHT/BICKERED with Abraham over property | |
| Gn13-10 | IMMORAL | Lot sought MATERIALISM (even in bad neighborhoods) | |
| -------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------- | |
| Gn19-09 | MORAL | Lot was a respected JUDGE in his city*1 | |
| Gn19-07 | MORAL | Lot fought homosexual rape | |
| Gn19-01d | MORAL | Lot was HOSPITABLE*2 *10 | |
|
|
|||
*1 Rashi only mentions Lots HOSPITALITY. However it is proper to review ALL cases of LOT in the Bible. Other verses show that Lot was a JUDGE and fought HOMOSEXUALITY. *2 The exact verse states -------------------------------------------- Lot was sitting in the gate when the 2 men came; AND LOT GOT UP FOR THEM WHEN HE SAW THEM and INVITED THEM TO HIS HOUSE -------------------------------------------- | |||
|
|

Rashi goes a step further. Rashi notes the contrast between say Lots committment of INCEST vs his HOSPITALITY. Rashi therefore conjectures that Lot learned HOSPITALITY from Abraham. The main point of Rashi is the database query. The conjecture that Lot learned hospitality from Abraham is secondary | |||
