VERSE: Gn08-19a

=================== Gn08-19a =======================================


SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis goals is to make broad DATABASE QUERY exposing
patterns. A DATABASE QUERY is a technical term but very roughly
it refers to looking at a collection of verses,roots or words with
some common feature. The collection of verses may exhibit other
patterns which Rashi points out.

EXAMPLE
-------
We can ask the following QUERY
--------------------------------------------
Gather all verses where the word FAMILY occurs
--------------------------------------------

This list contains Gn08-19a which states
-----------------------------------------------
[When Noah left the ark] all animals BY FAMILY
left the ark with him
-----------------------------------------------

Rashi (paraphrased) comments
-----------------------------------------------
This is the only verse where FAMILY is used
in reference to animals (Typically FAMILY refers
to PEOPLE). This strange anomolous usage points to
an emphasis:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
God as it were made the animals promise not
to sin and only cohabit within their own species
and family
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-----------------------------------------------

Rashi's comment need not be taken literally (Since
animals are usually inter-specie anyway). Rashi's
point emphasizes the sexual corruption of the flood
It was so corrupt that even animals sinned and therefore
they had to promise not to stick to family life!

LIST606f summarizes these arguments.
