VERSE: Lv13-12b

======================= Lv13-12b ================================

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.

EXAMPLE Lv13-12b
----------------
Today we ask the query
----------------------------------
How is the REVU of the Priest
of lepors indicated
----------------------------------

As shown in the list below the typical phrase is
- THE PRIEST SEES
In one case the PASSIVE is used
- WILL BE SEEN BY THE PRIEST
However although the above phrases occur
frequently in one verse we have the anomalous phrase
- ACCORDING TO THE SIGHTS OF THE EYES OF THE PRIEST

This phrase is anomalous among several dozen typical
phrases such as THE PRIEST SEES. Because of this
anomaly which is shown by the database query Rashi
comes to the conclusion that
- the priest must have good sight.
Hence Priests with
- macular degeneration
- cataracts
are ineligible to review lepors.

Lv13-07    Will be seen by Priest             Passive
------     ---------------------------------  ---------------
Lv13-12b   By the sight of the eyes of Priest Has Good Sight*1

NOTES
-----
*1 The phrase
   -----------------------------------------
   By the sight of the eyes  of the Priest
   -----------------------------------------
   connotes that the Priest has good sight.
   Hence the law that Priests with
   - cataracts
   - macular degeneration
   are ineligible to review leprosy.

   Rashi made this point because the
   database query showed this phrase anomalous.
