      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 Nu22-04c
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n2.htm
      Brief Summary: CRYING facilitates prayer being answered EXCEPT in cases of SLANDER.

We ask the following database query: Does crying facilitate prayer and petition being ansewred? 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 shocking Rashi inference: God typically answers prayer accompanied by crying except in the case of slander. A slanderer who sincerely crys in his/her prayer is not answered.

Verse Text of Verse Who Cried To Whom Why Cry Response
Gn21-16:17 And she went, and sat ...down..., and lifted up her voice, and wept. And G-d heard the voice of the lad; .... fear not; for G-d hath heard the voice ... Hagar God Child dying God heard
Gn27-38:39 And Esau said unto his father: 'Hast thou but one blessing, my father? ....' And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. And Isaac his father answered and said unto him: Behold, of the fat places of the earth ..., Esauv Father Wanted a blessing He obtained a blessing
Jr31-14:15 Thus saith HaShem: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children;.... Thus saith HaShem: .... thy work shall be rewarded, Rachel God Her Children suffering God rewards her
Dt01-45a And ye returned and wept before HaShem; but HaShem hearkened not to your voice, .... Jews Wept God refused them entry into Israel God refused to listen [Rashi: Slander turns God's mercy into cruelty]
