      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 Nu22-08a
      URL Reference: (c) http://www.Rashiyomi.com/w34n1.htm
      Brief Summary: Non-Mosaic prophecy takes place at night;Mosaic prophecy takes place by day.

Today we ask the database query: When/how does the prophecy take place. The query uncovers 5 examples. An examination of these examples justifies the Rashi assertion that Non-Mosaic prophecy takes place at night. Mosaic prophecy takes place by day The table below presents results of the query along with illustrations of Rashi's comment.

Verses Person Time of Prophecy
Gn31-24 Laban Night
Nu22-08 Bilam Night
Dn07-02 Daniel Night
Gn20-03 Avimelech Night
Nu12-06:08 Moses While awake [that is, by day]
