      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 Ex38-22a
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n11.htm
      Brief Summary: 3 listings of the 11 Temple utensils: a) The building order; b) the construction; c) the building erection.

    We ask the following database query: How many temple utensils are described in the bible and how are they sequenced? 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: Different sequencing is used for the Temple objects. Each sequencing reflected a different ordering principle.
    • The order to build reflects a sequence based on spiritual importance - for example the most important thing is acceptance of God's law symbolized by the ark.
    • The actual construction reflects criteria of building importance - thus the building structures are made first, followed by critical utensils, followed by outside utensils.
    • The actual building erection reflects criteria of homeowner importance - thus the building is made first, followed by the most important utensils (the ark) and their protection, followed by other utensils, followed by items outside the building/house.
    The list below presents the results of the database query.

Order to build Contruction Erection
Ex25 Ex30 Ex36 - Ex38 Ex 40
Spiritual Importance Building Importance - Building Structure Homeowner Importance - Protection need
Ark- First E 3 - Third
Table - Second F 5
Candellabrah -Third G 6
- - - - - - - - -
Roof Tent A - First 2 - Second
Building structure B - Second 1 - First
Veil C - Third 4
Door D 8
- - - - - - - - -
(Copper) Altar I 9
Courtyard K 11
(Gold) Altar H 7
Basins J 10
In the above table we have indicated the alternate sequencing using letters and numbers. For example the roof tent is mentioned first in Ex36 - Ex 38 and the building structure is mentioned first in the Ex40.
