    8. RASHI METHOD: DATABASES
    BRIEF EXPLANATION:Rashi makes inferences from Database queries. The precise definition of database query has been identified in modern times with the 8 operations of Sequential Query Language (SQL).

    This example applies to Rashis Lv14-34a
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1410.htm
    Brief Summary: God promised to inflict house leprosy since the requirement of emptying the house of utensils would expose hidden treasures by the Canaanites enriching the owners.

We ask the following database query: What phrases are used to indicate the presence of leprosy? The reader is encouraged to perform the query using a standard Biblical Konnkordance or search engine. This database query yields the list below. The list justifies the following Rashi-Midrashic inference: The standard introductory phrase describing leprosy presence uses the language template when a person/garment has a leprous plague. However the house plague section is introduced with the unusual When you arrive in the land and I(God) give a house plague. The emphasis in houses on God personally giving the plague is not to emphasize punishment since leprosy on the person or clothes is more serious. Rather, the emphasis in God delivering house plagues is because the required removal of all house contents sets aside time for the revu of house contents, which revu might result in the discovery of hidden treasures, a reasoanble expectation because the prior Canaanite inhabitants probably hid their valuables in the house walls in the hope that they would return and re-acquire them. The list below presents the results of the database query.
