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 Ex29-22d URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1209.htm Brief Summary: UP offerings totally go on altar; SIN / REST offerings go to priests/altar. But COMPLETE/PEACE offerings go to priests/altar/owners - they are complete.

We ask the following database query: Who consumes the various types of offerings? 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 inference:
• (1) Up offerings are totally consumed by the altar (They totally go up to God;
• (2) Rest offerings are shared by altar and priests (They give some rest to the priests who sometimes work and do not share in eating the offering).
• (3) Complete offerings are shared by all parties - altar, priests and owners - hence they are complete.
The list below presents the results of the database query.

Verse Support	Offering Type	On altar>	Consumed by priests?	Consumed by owners?	Reason for Name
Lv01	Up (Olah )	Yes	No	No	Solely goes up (to God)
Lv02	Rest (Minchah )	Yes	Yes	No	Gives rest to hard working priests by allowing them to share in eating
Lv03	Complete (Shelamim )	Yes	Yes	Yes	Sacrifice is completely shared by all parties;

Advanced Rashi: We should clarify that certain sacrifices the Priests have a right to eat while others they do not eat at all. Similarly the owners participate in the eating of certain sacrifices but not others.
