VERY BRIEF SUMMARY
------------------
Rashi frequently used Database methods. He isnt
necessarily commenting on rarity; rather he is
explaining the criteria governing usage of phrases.

Lv09-01b contains the phrase THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL. Rashi
simply made a list of all places where this phrase
occured. Rashi then noted that the phrase is only used
when there is some complaint or problem from the people--
in such a case Moses needed the help of the Elders to
reassure the people.

Thus Rashis goal was accomplished: Rashi explained the
unique circumstances in which this phrase is used

EXAMPLE Lv09-01b
-------
The Elders were called to Aarons inauguration. Rashi
notes the Korach rebellion in which people question
Aarons appointment (Nu16). Hence Moses called the
elders to reassure the people that the appointment
was at the hands of God
