      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 Lv08-36a
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/rule1213.htm
      Brief Summary: THEY DID AS COMMANDED is stated when we might expect rebellious behavior.

We ask the following database query: When does the Biblical author use the phrase they did as commanded. 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: If a person or nation is typically rebellious then the Bible will go out of its way to emphasize when they are compliant. The Bible indicates this by using the phrase they did as commanded. On the other hand if a person or nation is always compliant there is no news in stating that they are compliant! The list below presents the results of the database query.

Verse Why I expect otherwise Examples of why I expect otherwise Verse text
Lv10-07 Priests sometimes rebelled, act on their own Nadav and Avihu, Lv10-01:02 made their own offerings and died And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of HaShem is upon you.' And they did according to the word of Moses.
Lv08-36a Priests sometimes rebelled, act on their own Nadav and Avihu, Lv10-01:02 made their own offerings and died And Aaron and his sons did all the things which HaShem commanded by the hand of Moses.
Ex14-02:04c Jews frequently complained to God Jews complained better in Egypt when Egypt pursued them (Ex14-11:12) Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon, over against it shall ye encamp by the sea. And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel: They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will get Me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am HaShem.' And they did so.
Ex16-16:17 Jews frequently complained about lack of food water Jews complained about lack of water at Refidim Ex17-02 This is the thing which HaShem hath commanded: Gather ye of it every man according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent.' And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less.
