      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.
