VERSE: Gn37-01a
======================= Gn37-01a ================================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
Rashi will frequentlly make a comment by making broad
database inquiries. A database inquiry is simply a question
addressed to a large databank---typically a large collection
of verses. Thus DATABASE methods typically span many diverse
verses.
Gn37-01a
-----------
In todays query we ask
------------------------------------
When one person excels in a group
how does the Bible record the
history of group/person
------------------------------------
The answer we find is that
------------------------------------
- The Bible AT LEAST MENTIONS everyone
in the group--typically for a verse or 2
- The Bible devotes ALOT OF TEXT to
the person who excels
------------------------------------
Rashi brings the following examples
-----------------------------------
Example 1
---------
Gn05, Gn06 record the 10 generations
from Adam to Noach. Each generation
has 3 verses. But the story of Noach
has many verses
Example 2
---------
Gn11, Gn12 record the 10 generations
from Noach to Abraham. These generations
typically have 3 verses each. But the
story of Abraham has many verses.
Example 3
---------
Gn36, Gn37 record the genealogies
and history of Esauv
and Jacob. The genealogies and history
of Esauv are terse; whole stories
are often only hinted at in a few
verses; while the genealogies and
stories of Jacob are dealt with
in many verses.
The above examples were brought by Rashi.
To these examples I supplement further
examples.
Example 4
---------
Nu07 and Nu08
describe the gifts at the consecration of
the Wilderness Temple. The gifts of
each of the tribes occupies 6 verses.
The contribution of Aaron occupies a whole
chapter.
Example 5
---------
1C01 thru 1C12 deal quickly with all
of human history to King David's time.
By contrast 1C13 thru 1C17 are slow paced,
describing the beginning of the centralization
of temple worship under King David's reign.
