    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 Ex29-22a Ex29-22b Ex29-22c Ex29-22d
    URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ex29-22a.htm

The Bible is filled with laws relating to sacrifices. Consequently we can make database queries such as Which parts of the animal are common to all sacrifices; which parts of the animal receive different treatments in different sacrifices; who - altar, Priest, owner - consumes the various animal parts?

    As we examine the three peace-offerings we find the difference indicated by the underlined phrase. All 3 verses describe the parts of the animal placed on the altar:
  • Lv03-03[if from oxen..offer] ....the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
  • Lv03-09[If from sheep...offer] ....the fat thereof, the fat tail entire, which he shall take away hard by the rump-bone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
  • Lv03-14[If from goats...offer] ....the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

Rashi notes the extra underlined phrase the fat thereof, the fat tail entire which he shall take away hard by the rump bone Rashi comments This extra part the fat tail is only offered when the offering comes from sheep but not if the offering comes from goat or oxen.

Using this distinction we can understand the Rashi on Ex29-22 which states Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh; for it is a ram of consecrat Rashi states The fat tail is only offered by sheep and rams but not by goats and oxen. We infer this from the passages in Lv03
