We ask the following database query:
If one person excels in a group how much space does the Bible devote to discussions of the group vs. the individual?
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:
The answer to the question,"
When one person excels in a group how does the Bible record the history of group/person?" is
- The Bible token mentions everyone in the group--typically for a verse or 2
- The Bible devotes a lot of text to the person who excels
The list below presents the results of the database query.
#####
Verses
| Group
| Who excels
| Many verses to whom
|
Gn05, Gn06
| 10 Generations-Adam-Noach
| Noach
| Noach
|
Gn11, Gn12
| 10 Generations from Noach to Abraham
| Abraham
| Abraham
|
Gn36, Gn37
| History of Isaac's children: Esauv, Jacob
| Joseph, Jacob's son
| Joseph
|
Nu07, Nu08
| Gifts of tribes at Consecration of Temple
| Aaron's gift
| Aaron
|
1C01, 1C12, 1C13, 1C17
| Human history - Adam-David
| King David
| King David
|
With regard to the last example, Chronicles is giving a political
history and hence someone like David is more important (politically)
than say Abraham and Moses (Who were more important prophetically).
