      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 Ex06-03a Ex06-03b
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/ex06-03a.htm
      Brief Summary: The name of God, SHADAI refers to those situations where God used immediate and great force.

We ask the following database query: When does the Bible call God, Shadai. 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 inference: The name of God, SHADAI refers to those situations where God used immediate and great force. The list below presents the results of the database query and shows examples.

Verse Verse Text Immediate Show of God's Force
Ru01-20 And she said unto them: 'Call me not Naomi, call me Marah; for Shadai hath dealt very bitterly with me. Naomi immediately punished for forsaking the Jewish community
Nu24-04 The saying of him who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Shadai , fallen down, yet with opened eyes: Bilam immediately punished for sexually abusing the Jews
Gn35-11 I am God Shadai. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; The City that Raped Dinah was immediately punished
Ex06-03 and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as G-d Shadai, but by My name J-H-V-H I made Me not known to them. God to show redemption by slow development, something new.

We should clarify the nature of the above list. Dinah was raped and immediately the city was destroyed. Naomi left Israel in order not to help people in famine and was immediately socially disgraced. Bilam suggested promiscuity and the Jews were immediately punished. Bilam himself was immediately punished in a war declared on him.

Moses wanted immediate deliverance. God patiently explained to him that God showed immediacy to the Patriarchs. However to Moses God was showing development. God redeemed the Jews in 10 plagues during which time Pharoh had an opportunity to rebel even further. Thus the redemption from Egypt was not a manifestation of God showing immediacy but rather a manifestation of God showing slow development.
