      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 Gn11-05b
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w33n5.htm
      Brief Summary: Sinners are called "Crowd, Worthless, men" or the sinner city is called by name. The residents of the Tower of Babel is called SONS OF ADAM because like Adam they rebelled against God.

We ask the following database query: When God attacks sinners how does he call them? 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: God calls sinners by their city name. Or else, God calls them crowd, worthless, people. However the Residents of the Tower of Babel are called "Sons of Adam" to indicate that a) they rebelled against God like Adam and b) they lost their unified world the same way Adam lost Paradise. The list below presents the results of the database query.
