      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 Lv01-02a
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule0601.htm
      Brief Summary: There are two sacrifice types: Voluntary and obligatory.

We ask the following database query: Were the sacrifices obligatory or voluntary? When reading a Biblical passage what keywords indicate this? 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: Those sacrifices introduced by specific events - when such and such happens...- are obligatory; those sacrifices introduced generally - when you offer..are voluntary. The list below presents the results of the database query.

Verse Voluntary Mode Offering Type Verse text
Lv01-02a Voluntary up Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When any man of you bringeth an offering unto HaShem, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd or of the flock.
Lv02-01 Voluntary Minchah And when any soul bringeth a meal-offering unto HaShem, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon.
Lv07-12 Obligatory Peace-Thanksgiving If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour soaked.
Lv04-02 Obligatory Sin Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If any one shall sin through error, in any of the things which HaShem hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them:
Lv05-01 Obligatory Guilt And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity;
Lv05-17 Obligatory Guilt And if any one sin, and do any of the things which HaShem hath commanded not to be done, though he know it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
