      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 Ex03-01b
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ex03-01b.htm
      Brief Summary: Items are frequently named in the Bible by how they will be called rather then what they are called now--e.g. the Kosher animals of Noach.

We ask the following database query: Are Biblical items named by future events which have not happened yet? 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: Items are frequently named in the Bible by how they will be called rather then what they are called now--e.g. the Kosher animals in Noah's ark. The list below presents the results of the database query and shows examples.

Verse Object Associated with future, not present Verse for Future association
Gn01-14e Moon function Future holidays Ex12-02
Gn07-02a Animals Kosher Lv11
Gn02-14c River boundaries Africa (Cush) Assyria Gn10-17:11
Gn14-07b field Amalayk field Gn36-12
Ex03-01b Mountain God's mountain Ex19-18

We should clarify the nature of the above list. The Bible, in Abraham's time, calls Amalyk's field after Amalyk who was not yet born. Similarly God's mountain (Mount Sinai) is named by the future reception of the Torah there.
