I am Yud Heh and the Vav Hey in which all Existence Emanates From with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] shalom alaikum everybody welcome to the ibn abate midrash actually we're not in the bait midrash we have a sega a closure so we're doing this totally on skype which we have over there to my left i guess to your right and um we're on skype and before i begin we're in parashat by the way the era okay which is chapter six of smoke of exodus before we start i want to make a i'm gonna i hope i don't regret this right a little bit of a uh let's not call political let's call it a public service announcement okay a public service announcement and that is we have to stand up against corruption we have to right i said before the elections that you have to vote for the least corrupted politician the one who's out to let's just say drain the swamp right that's his uh motto or whatever and whatever he can do whoever you think would have been the one that would be interested in building the temple in jerusalem that would be or financially backing it that would be a great a great possibility to as a candidate but now things are a little bit crazy and unfortunately much of social media and the different mediums that we all use for communication is being censored now so my i'm going to just mention this without mentioning any names that basically there are many um servers you know search engines there are many right the alphabet soup is uh unlimited okay so any any of these search engines that are censoring let's say you know the freedom of speech let's leave it at that and sharing our religious ideas could be and probably is the target one of the main targets so we have to do something about it now i'm against a blanket boycott because i don't know if that's gonna really help but i would say make the suggestion okay wherever like we don't advertise okay so we don't help bring in revenue on these different things that we're using right and you know what they are because you're on it watching it right now but we don't give them revenue we don't pay them we don't give them any money and we don't ascribe to the advertising idea besides a torah class should not be interrupted with advertising anyway so that's the first thing i want to mention that i think that a blanket boycott is only going to hurt us in other words you choose everyone has to choose their own way right to make a point you have to how you do it that's up to you but my suggestion is do not pay them any money whatever you can do not to support them financially talking about the ones that are censoring until they get a hold of themselves and realize when they lose billions of dollars in on the stock market that this is not the way to go because this is a capitalist or at least a free market society and so that was really what i wanted to mention okay now if you thought that all of a sudden now you're being tracked and you weren't being tracked yesterday uh your head is in the sand okay so there's nothing new there's nothing new except really the censuring and that is a big problem and if you could uh let your congressman your senators your who whoever your elected officials i know that there are countries now there are counties and countries all over the world that are actually censoring them because they're not holding up to the bargain of the i'm not sure what amendment it is in the united states it's called 230 which basically means they're a platform and not a publisher and therefore they should be held accountable so that's my that's that's not political this is a a religious right yeah freedom of speech okay so in this week's parsha the cleo car goes lead to describe the first verse in many different ways actually i'll mention he mentions four specific ways and we're only going to focus on derek cheney and derek in the second and third out of the four ways and that's where we're going to begin tonight okay so for those on the hebrew pages it's non-bet derek shaney you know what maybe i will give a slight a very slight introduction to what he did speak about earlier and that is when you look at the verse now our parsha begins in chapter 6 verse 2. now we will connect that's what derek shane is all about is connecting it to the previous verse the last few verses of last week's parsha but let's just read verse two god spoke to moses and said to him i am hashem now it's only in the hebrew that you really understand what i'm talking about and that's why i feel it's necessary to discuss this idea look in the hebrew dhabi elohim the word the adabir which just means to speak and the word the yomir is to say over they're two different words in english you would all you would almost just gloss over it and not know the difference but the adabir is a harshness almost like a judgmental harsh speech and that's what the name elokim now we're going to talk about the names of god the uk bufke and the name of akim specifically also el shaddai okay we're going to pronounce it from this point on cal shakai so we know we're talking about like name elokim so elokim is a judgment so it was harsh speech by god but we only know the traits of hashem through his actions okay he's one he's unbelievable uh like i'm not unbelievable of course we believe in him but unknowable right it's very hard to comprehend the the greatness of hashem but we only know him we know him through his actions so elokim is an action of it's a statement of a name that comes out in the attribute of judgement and he spoke to moshe so it's the adaba elokim el moshe but the rest of the verse is like the opposite vyomer elav the word the yomer is a softness a love he didn't speak to moses he spoke to him meaning the name and who he is are two different things because moshe and i'm just giving you some background to what we had spoken about in earlier part of this parsha that the name mosha means a present tense drawing out of the polluted waters it means the redeemer like present tense redeemer not redeemed okay so moshe is present tense and god is judging him harshly because he did not understand his role and he basically was saying why me you know he wasn't really ready uh to grasp his role he was hesitant but the latter part it says the omar elah hashem has hashem has mercy he says ani hashem i am yud kevke so what he was was a stutterer he had a speech impediment and therefore there is rahmanut now that's the background and now we're going to get into a serious discussion as i mentioned it's only two out of four that we're going to talk about so derek shaney behind tsukimelu the first thing he mentioned look at the previous verses right if you go i just have to pull it up real quick right go back to exodus chapter 5 verse 22 23 24 and read on until at least let's say chapter 6 verse and 2. so let's just read it real quick just in english so moses returned to the lord and said oh lord why have you harmed this people why have you sent me there's a hesitance and he's also blaming hashem for harming the people since i have come to pharaoh to speak in your name it only brought more disaster he had he pharaohs harmless people and you god have not saved this people what's going on here moses doesn't know there's going to be 10 plagues it's going to take a year he doesn't have the patience i don't understand since he brought this up to pharaoh it only became worse for the jewish people and the lord said to moses now you will see what i will do to pharaoh for with a mighty hand he will send them out and with a mighty hand he will drive them out of the of his land so we do see that we're going to have to discuss this this verse this verse is actually the judgment it's a harsh judgment on motion we'll see it okay because raj is going to raj is going to say that now you're going to see what i'm going to do to pharaoh but you're not going to go into the land of israel to see what i'm going to do to the 31 kings of the seven canaanite nations and that's our verse begins god spoke to moses and he said to them i am the lord i skipped for some reason the next verse but let's do it anyway he says i appeared to abraham isaac and to jacob as ale shakai khal shikai but with my name yudhkay valfke i did not make myself known to them okay so we're going to deal with a few more verses but i wanted to show you these are the verses we're doing and we're going to put them together so this judgment of the adabir elokim el is somehow connect and i am and he said to him i am uk bufke is connected to the previous verses in what way first thing to know he says is she inokin that the name elokim always means and is none other than judgment than a judge and judgment now there is a gemara here that kind of discusses it and that would be in yuma 87 a uh i don't know how much part of this i want to read to you but we'll we'll go through it let's do it so it was taught in a mishnah regarding yom kippur that yom kippur it atones for sins committed against god now of course true that you have to do true okay if you don't do true even that won't help okay fine so that's what that's what it's set up for comes with joseph barkhavu and he raises a contradiction before rabbi abba and he says doesn't the mission say yom kippur does not atone for sins committed against a fellow human being yom kippur does not atone because it says now this is an interesting verse because in first samuel chapter 2 verse 25 and this is a misunderstanding we're going to get to the clarity of it but at ali is upset with his sons because of what they did meaning they held back overnight certain uh corban out specifically for bone out for women who had given birth and um basically they were going to be okay to be with their husbands and by holding them over one night one extra night which is unjust in itself it's corrupt right there's some benefit to these guys well guess what guess what these women cannot be with their husbands because they're going to be held over in jerusalem or near the temple waiting for their their offerings to be finished and it actually says that they committed adultery but that's not what happened okay that's if you look through the the verses it seems like what they did was much worse and that's the way the torah actually says a lot of times about certain sins are much worse but they're not really that's not what they actually did okay like i'll just give an example king david did not sleep with a married woman she was divorced right there's other examples okay so the gamora continues basically using this verse and this is the verse we're going to examine if one man sins against another elohim shall judge him now the word for judging him is like the word pale to pray which actually means judgment that's what prayer is self-judgment but it says elohim and it also says like prayer or judgment okay so we have to examine those two words elohim and judgment if however the verse continues he will sin against god which the first part was sinning against man the second part is singing singing against god who will intercede in the judgment on his behalf but they would not hearken to their father's voice for the lord desired to kill them okay by the way as i mentioned since first samuel chapter 2 verse 25 now the word will feel o which may also refer to prayer implies that if he prays true god will grant a sinner forgiveness okay so what we're talking about the first part of the verse if you sin against another human being all you have to do is pray didn't we just say that only if you um if you commit uh sin against another person yom kippur does not atone okay but one second if you pray it will work so he answered him no what does it mean who is elokim when it says elohim in the verse it's referring to a judge so there are many names of hashem some of them can be used in a secular way like elokim hello if i use it as elohim it could mean a judge not necessarily god like many of the names of god could be used for are called secular purposes right hall not kadosh sometimes they're used for hashem there's only one name and that's going to be uk bufket which we're going to get into that is never used in a secular way in the meantime at this point basically what do we understand it's referring to a judge not to god and therefore the word ufilu indicates judgment not the name elohim in other words he's trying to prove that elohim does not mean judgment here means a judge and therefore atonement occurs only after justice has been done toward the injured party by means of the court ruling now that's the first part of this gemara it continues and that's where we're going to get into the the the meat of the matter so reviews if barhova said back to him if that's true if that's so then say regarding the following the latter part of the clause but if a man sin against the lord who shall entreat him now again the word vietnam who is going to pray for him so this is difficult since it has been established the word plow fellow is the root of and here in this case judgment is interpreted in this verse as indicating judgment and that's really what prayer is by the way it's self-inflicted judgment right you're judging yourself and therefore the latter clause of the verse implies that if one sins towards god there's no one to judge him that's what it sounds because it's a question so rabbi abou answered him this is what the verse is actually saying that if one man sins against another god himself will forgive him if the sinner appeases the person against whom he sin which you have to do otherwise you will not be forgiven so if he does appease the person that he sinned against he will be forgiven now what about if you sin against the lord but if a man sins against hashem who shall pray for him who shall be who shall judge him basically and the answer is astonishing it's repentance and good deeds that's right because what is true true is repentance and therefore changing your deeds okay that's what you have to do so the word the root paleo is to be interpreted as indicating forgiveness rather than judgment so now we understand the latter part of the verse again going back if however he will sin against god who will intercede who will forgive him obviously it means that hashem will forgive him as it says but they would not hearken to their father's voice that's a part of the verse i didn't want to read but anyway who will inceed meaning it's the good deeds it's the repentance that's the answer through good deeds and repentance a person will be forgiven okay now so we know elokim means judgment no question about it but the truth is it doesn't explain in our verses if we're saying that moses is being judged harshly in what fashion for what purpose what did he do wrong the lo perisha we have no clue from reading these verses perhaps again even though we're connecting the previous few verses and i kind of explained that there was some judgment based on moses statements to god and that's we're going to deal with so it doesn't it's not explicit okay near the far-ish that's why the clear car will explain it like this that the judgment is coming on what was stated previously and what was stated previously pharaoh god says now you will see what i will do to pharaoh because i'll tell us and you could look in rashi lois let's look at rashi real quick it's on six one number two in the source sheet see basically because you have questioned my ways by moses questioning now what is the mini question this ways he said what is your name didn't he okay so you questioned my ways of running the world not like avraham did avraham question yitzchak yakov none of them none of them questioned in fact they were in such predicaments because god promised them he made a promise to them and yet they didn't say no when's it happening well it could be because he promised their seed they didn't really promise them but nevertheless they had patience they were they believed they believed and they didn't quit their faith did not waver okay moses for some reason had to know what is your name where are your deeds where are the actions what's happening we'll see it shortly look again in that rashi you've questioned my ways of running the world unlike abraham who i said he actually said in genesis 21 12 isaac will be called your seat he's going to inherit everything and afterwards i will bring him up there as a burnt offering then all of a sudden now avraham is told to well he doesn't know yet whether he's to kill him or just offer him or go through the motions and then isaac won't be saying won't be killed but how do you not question it this is one of the ten tests of abraham he's told through your seed isaac everything's gonna come to be everything's gonna come to pass all the promises and what happens now god says bring him up and avram doesn't say a word right it's just the beginning therefore you will now god is telling moses now you will see what is done to pharaoh you will see but not what is done to the kings of the seven nations keep this in mind rashi is only quoting part of the medrash or part of the gemura that says there are kings of the seven nations when i bring the children of israel to land of israel so that you will not see which infers at this point what that already before the first of the 10 plagues it's already been decreed that that moshe will not enter the land which we'll have to deal with because later on we do know that as he is hitting the rock instead of speaking the rock right that he is actually told because of this you didn't sacrifice me in front of the people that they should believe in me therefore you're not going to go into the land of israel so that sounds like it happened much later that such a decree takes place so again we have to deal with that as well and we will now going back into the clear car he says the word malachi seems extra neera yo tour why do you have to tell me you're not gonna see what i'm gonna do to the kings of the seven nations what does that have to do with anything just tell me right all that god had to say was you're not going to see what joshua or what the jewish people are going to do what i'm going to do hashem is going to do to the seven nations in the land of israel in the land of canaan so there's a mattress that brings down specifically these words the lotion then you will not see what's going to happen to the 31 kings how do we know there were 31 kings first of all if you go to the uh besides the gemara we're going to read in saint hedron 111a you go to joshua in joshua chapter 12 verses 9 through 24 and i implore you to look it up because i'm only going to read the last verse right but starting at nine it starts mentioning again it's chapter 12 verse nine it starts mentioning all the kings and says here's one another one one another one one one one you can add up all the ones but the pussic does it for you verse 24. all the kings are 31. so you have 31 kings and that's in the book of joshua and we go on another question minyana lamalee why do i even need a number everyone right everyone can count you right we just had it in joshua chapter 12. what do we need to bring it up for another question martian mr what does it mean when it says as we we described the verse auto with an iron now you will see what i will do to pharah now you will see what i will do to pharaoh why do you need the word now autumn why do you need it this is what the clear card is describing even though i described it the actual language of now and i'm going to describe it a different way now okay when god said to motion ani hashem i am unique that's the yud and the hey and the love and the hey what does that mean what is the name of god it's past tense i am all of the past i am all the present and i'm all the future which means what thank you very much i am all existence i am what it really means this is god's signature of truth and that he is totally to be relied upon when it comes to a human being how can you ever trust anybody someone promises you something how do you know it's ever going to be fulfilled when a person promises so then he goes to sleep and he says you know well tomorrow tomorrow the next day whenever it happens it'll happen right and you don't know maybe it will be tomorrow maybe it'll be the next year you don't know when a person promises anything to you if it will ever happen but when hashem promises you you know will happen i say hashem uk above okay what is it about human beings take a look in psalms 103 verse 16. this is uh the language he's using is based on this verse because the spirit passes over him and he's not able to fill his promise so the verse says for a win passes over him and he's no longer here that idea of a human being is a mortal person so once his spirit passes on finished with hashem it doesn't work like that alkane tsarik like kaimul although the only way a person could be trustworthy is if every time he promises he does it immediately otherwise anybody can have a claim a taina a claim no when are you going to do it veeam law if he doesn't do it immediately as i begin korean tiger because if a human being doesn't do it then he certainly has it seems like whoever would make was promised anything logic dictates that he has the right to complain on the fact that whatever the person said was not fulfilled immediately because if it's not fulfilled now when it will be fulfilled you don't know a big question mark avalani how you the lenet but god is telling him i am i am eternal existence i am his existence for eternity but cole has mani and to me all times are the same there's no difference between past presence or future that we're talking about hashem it's like how can we comprehend this i mean today with quantum physics quantum mechanics they talk about multi-universes and possibly like that maybe it gives us a little bit of an insight a little bit of a possibility of perhaps what it's talking about alchemist because of this because of what the faith that our forefathers had abraham isaac and jacob they didn't complain about they trusted and they believed they anticipated the fulfillment of god's word are you in the city for this kind they really believed in the end it would it would become fulfilled but you moshe attack this is what god is speaking to moses and saying but you are unlike them your complaining already didn't happen so fast and if that's the case right now that you're complaining this whole process of 10 plagues is going to take anywhere between 10 and 11 months something like that i i can only imagine what's going to happen to you when you go to the land of israel land of kanan and have to fight 31 kings and it's going to take seven years it's going to take how long close to seven years take a look at joshua chapter 11 verse 18. just an example the torah says joshua made a war made were a long time with all these kings yami marabi and also yeshua it's called malachim now there's a reason for this why should it take a long time look at exodus chapter 23 verse 29 through 30. let me just read the clear car first before we go on to it we just read the the the verse in in joshua chapter 11 verse 18. israel didn't call us it wasn't really possible it wasn't in the cards let's say it was impossible for the jewish people to conquer the land of of canaan quickly pentirba lest god forbid it become filled the land become filled because it's empty how many jews were there we had let's say three million of us whatever it is and the land the the the borders of israel were very large so most of the land would be filled with dead bodies who's going to bury them the wild animals the lions the tigers and the bears would come and who knows what else the vultures the hyenas but rather ella mahatma garcia mine but little by little little by little slowly by slowly then we would conquer the land as i said look in exodus chapter 23 verses 29-30 god himself says i will not drive them away from before you in one year it's not going to happen so quickly lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field outnumber you i will drive them out from before you little by little until you have increased and can occupy the land which is not what moses is a temperament was at the moment now god is still speaking to moses basically saying because you are i'll just add the word impatient but that he doesn't say that yet yet he says because your way is to complain when the fulfillment of the promise is not fulfilled quickly therefore i god i'm going to penalize you i'm going to punish you a canas is a penalty a punishment shiloh the reason i'm going to give you this canasta's punishment because the the the the logic dictates the judgment is that you will not see the war this long drawn out war with the 31 kings hoots except for the milk parrot the fight the word that we have with pharaoh he is one king to whom he's just one that i'm going to allow you to see that you're going to see right now meaning to say rasolamar take f take up means immediately i share essentia then you will see what i will do to pharaoh oh salavatira that alone you will see the ikea hamilt the whole deduction the way we're able to explain this is because of the word now now that's what it means not right now right now and right now is also quickly i mean it has to com content it has two it connects two ideas right one is now in time and it also means quickly now the load davar shalom you not say atta but you will not see that which is not done now that means in time beyond rabbi only something that would take a long time that that you're not going to see like the war that took place with the 31 kings that you will not see now when he says my name is jude kevot that reflects who i am in my actions but the truth is i said that is the one name that actually is beyond actions but for now all we know is uk is was his will be it also means that he is eternal existence and therefore so in the end anything that i promise anything that i say will be fulfilled of a ledian dover zeb but for some reason remember because he's only introducing himself now as uk he says we saw this in previous verses but anyway we're going to deal with it that i did not reveal yet that's the next verse sorry that i did not reveal myself i did not make myself known to them i only appeared to them as kaushikai but i didn't make myself known to them as utkev which we'll deal with but the idea is that i didn't fulfill my promises so they never really got to experience the fullness of what you know fk actually stands for but he says like this but they didn't know this the hinting they were only anticipating looking forward to my my word being fulfilled okay so let me just see there's a few ideas i wanted to bring down before we go on and that is the gemara that's brought down in sanhedrin 111a um i kind of i kind of went through the whole idea and but just know that it's in the gamer itself look at the very end of it the verse then states now you will see what i will do the pharaoh one can infer the war with pharaoh and his downfall you will see but you will not see the war with the thirty one kings in earth's israel as you will not be privileged to conquer eretz israel for the jewish people i want to go to i have some interesting things that i pulled out i want to go to the ben yoda only because i love i love his explanations but i have a whole bunch more to go through and now i'm realizing we're not i don't know if we're going to get to part direction because there's just so much to say so let's go to the ben yoda and that is by the way the banish khai and he brings down our verse chapter six verse one that says that the milkhamus well it's not the verse it's from the gemara this is a comment on the gemara that when it says the war of power you will see the war with pharaoh you will see but you will not see the war with the 31 kings so as he always says it seems to me with the help of god to be able to explain it that what really this whole idea was born this whole idea that god that moses will not be able to see what's going to happen there is because he was pained by what he saw right he was god even said i'm going to go down and we're going to bring the jewish people out and and things were made worse right like now you're gonna have to get your own straw and what happened uh we'll talk about some of the details of this rat hashem uh but the pains were increased so here we said like this it was this idea was born out from the power of his crying out because of the pains that were added on the jewish people and he cries out and he says these words are very important because in hebrew you wouldn't know it from the english right what does english say you have not saved your people well it says hot sale this salvation low hits alta you did not activate for your people that's a pretty big accusation for moses to make so the men yoda says that i i think this is absolutely unbelievable the word being used is coved that's what the hebrew says i'm not making it up noise of the lamb that the heaviness of the servitude covet means heaviness in context of the servitude that was added upon the jewish people the first time around haisa letova tom that was actually good for them rabbi brightwood spoke about this and i'll just try to uh if i'll try to explain we were told we were going to be enslaved for 400 years but we were only there for 210. by the time the 210th year old around we were already the 50th level of impurity and tuma which meant that if we reached the 50th did i say the 49th if we reach the 50th we would we'd be unredeemable irredeemable i'm sure there's a better word okay we would not have been able to been redeemed so hashem quickened it what is it how can he quit how can just take 400 years and bring it down to 210 years right how can that be he promised right it was because there was a certain necessity of whatever shibud a subjugation was necessary to become a nation so he quickened it by making it harder i mean you have to see that even in the covet the covet the harshness is actually going to bring about the redemption right when we experience the added weight of um of usurian of difficulties that's not always a bad thing okay i hope i'm getting this message across it's not always a bad thing in fact if it's coming for hashem it's never bad now so by adding the or making it more harsher right the the servitude harsher then we can leave in a shorter amount of time so that's what was happening but we weren't really there yet so as moses then speaks to to pharaoh that we're going to take them out basically very soon then in order that for that to happen now if that would have happened in other words if we're supposed to be in servitude for 400 years under the egyptians which has a certain amount of weight right again the word covet right a certain amount of weight of difficulty so if that didn't happen it would open the door for babylon persia greece and rome and include inside rome the ishmael so if we would have been able to survive the four full 400 years without being descended down to the 50th level if we would have been able to stay not you know on the 49th level or beyond then that would have been game over we would have come in there to shroud and there wouldn't have been any extra galoot any goliath any extra exile okay so in a certain sense this was um how do i explain it this was to our good and our detriment it was to our benefit and to our detriment okay so now he says like this i'm going to read the words exactly because of the additional weight of servitude that was added on us the first coming hayes that that was actually to our benefit because it helped complete the time that remains from the 400 years that we were supposed to be in servitude again that word coved that that additional weight whether it was five or six months that would be able to complete the entire time the lohay and nisha lam gallows beshibut and if we were able to if we would have been able to spend another five or six months in egypt we would not have had any more exiles ah however i lost my place because moses cried out on our behalf and felt the pain by saying you're making it worse for these people that you're you didn't save them the saving was not a saving as taken that's when god sent moses his chosen one bishni for a second time go to pharaoh go again to pharaoh i gotta keep my finger on the place and then through him through moses afterwards that's when the plagues began the cave of oda but guess what so as soon as the marcos begin the servitude ends not that we're not under servitude but the hard labor actually ended when the when the uh the plagues began just like huzzah tell us because that four or five extra months was not used we didn't we didn't stay there for the full amount of time whether it was four hundred years or the extra four or five months to complete the time as many this is the reason that we're going through the um the plagues sorry the the the exiles of those four kingdoms i mentioned babylon through to rome and it was because of this idea that that we would end up being in our el in exile because we didn't fulfill the whole 400 years in egypt that moses it was necessary for moses to die in the desert the lonely khan is larry's israel and not to enter the land of israel shema that if moses would have entered the land of israel now what he's about to say i have to try to explain i will again i'll give another explanation my own that i've heard basically let me tell you that one first because that one makes more sense to me that if moses would have come into the land of israel and built the temple just like david if the dublin would have built the temple besides the fact they shared the same soul of that temple could never been destroyed the concept the name of the temple is called a mishkan right mishkami is the wrong place for hashem but it also means mishkon same letters it means a guarantor collateral that the mishkan is collateral for the jewish people that if the jewish people would sin and worthy of being destroyed that the temple was the mishkan it was its guarantor it was its collateral that it would be destroyed instead of us can you imagine now that if moshe would have built the temple that temple that he would have built with his own hands could never have been destroyed then what would have happened god forbid we would have been destroyed so see that was all for our good the way that the ben yoda explains that if moses would have entered the land of israel are you soaking they would have gone to his grave they would have known where his grave was he would have been buried in israel at some point and they would have cried out vaginas pale that they would have prayed that they would have cried out to him for moses to pray tell her and to get rid of the exile the nymphs and it was all because of this god did not want moses to come into the land so that he would not be buried here so the jewish people don't cry out to him to pray on their behalf that if moses would have prayed the exiles would have been um would have been negated and that's not necessarily a good thing okay and that's why he did not see the war between the 31 kings now this is the ramez this is going to be a very nice hint because when it says in the torah right the saving not you saved right that's the literal right meaning you didn't save your people lamin aleph is what 31. that basically he goes like this the zakah minyana it specifically mentions 31 kings as a hint to what it actually says lo hits out to s america you did not save your people this is what moses remember every punishment is always measure for measure there has to be very significant um signs of what you did wrong in order to fix the sin through the usurian through the punishment we don't punishment's not really a good word but through the through the consequences of your actions in order to fix them there is a measure for measure so the very fact that he says moses the one that says low it's like low you did not save your people the word low islamic which is 31. so gorim load that actually caused moses himself to not see the lamin aleph by saying lo you did not save your people that was measured for measure he would not see the 31 kings that are hinted in the lead in the word low okay now what i do think maybe i should stick to the original plan i won't go through all my my um there's so much good stuff here okay let me let me do this a little bit and we may not get to okay we'll see we'll see how it goes in the meantime i want to do some of the comments on the gemara because wow let me just tell you the concepts here like what is the difference between the name cal shakai and utk valve 12k and what's the different neighbor i'm isaac and jacob and moshe right there's got to be some real issues here okay so in the gamora that we spoke about did we oh you know what i didn't i didn't do the beginning maybe we should go back to sanhedrin 111a so ruby laser son of robiosi he says and one time i entered alexandria of egypt and he found an old man and the old man says i'm going to show you what my ancestors meaning the egyptians did to your ancestors the jews now some of them drowned in the seas talking about the jewish people some of them killed with the sword and some of them were crushed in the buildings now isn't he's going to show them so the comment says he's going to show them through the safer zichronos meaning a book of chronicles he's going to read and there are there are um i don't think i'm stone i don't know what they're called but they there are archaeological finds with uh descriptions of what the egyptians did to the jewish people okay now one of the ideas that we brought up in this gemara which i don't know if we got to yet let's see it's 14 sorry here it is so when god says you know the the forefathers never asked let's just go through it see moses protested the affliction suffered this is what moses you this egyptian guy is telling the tana ruby lazar son of rubiosi what the egyptians did and this is what moses was so upset about he really was upset that his mission maybe fumbled things uh made things worse as he was punished for this word since i came to speak to pharaoh in your name you have done right that pharaoh did more evil to the people neither have you delivered your people at all the holy one said to him whoa are over those who are gone and no longer found that's a reference to abraham isaac and jacob has several times and he refers now to the verses in which he made these promises to abraham isaac and jacob but how as cal shakai not as uk bufke they didn't question my attributes they didn't say what is your name none of them asked what is your name i said to avraham in genesis 13 17 arise walk through the land in the length of it the breadth of it until you and to you i will give it and ultimately he had to even buy a piece of land for burial for sarah and he didn't complain he paid the full amount 400 shekels of silver and he didn't question it he didn't prove he did not protest that i failed to fill my promise to give him the land i said i'm giving them the land and yet he had to pay so too with isaac isaac um it was promised so join in the land i'm going to be with you and i will bless you in genesis 26 3 and we all know that he built the doug these wells and the the locals filled them with dirt and there was all this let's say fighting and turmoil with the local population over and you can see this in genesis 26 20. and the herdsmen of gerar quarrelled with isaac's herdsmen saying the word is ours and of course they they foot over the water and yet giza did not argue or ask or he believed he trusted hashem to jacob in genesis 28 the land upon which you lie that i'm going to give it god says and yet he also bought a place for the burial of joseph he also bought and you can find this in um where did i put it and okay i don't have it here but here it is you'll find this in genesis 33 verse 19. where he paid money for the the plot okay and then it ends with what we already said how this was all done in order that um that but moses did question what is your name neither have you delivered your people and that's when god says now you're going to see what's going to happen to pharaoh but you're not going to see the downfall of the of the 31 kings so there's a comment over here when he says that you know there were several times that i revealed myself to abraham isaac and jacob as cal shakai but they didn't question my my character as if to say shalom avaya the way that hashem behaved with the forefathers was not with the character traits of uk above gay which is the name amity which is the true name that's the name that is the trustworthy to fulfill his word because his promises that he promised them they didn't have to believe in the name a voya but they knew they believed in the name of khao shikai because hebrew because he never promised it to them in their lifetime by saying it's going to happen to your children then it would be understood so they didn't have any lack of faith the citric explains that the actual name yutke walked is the ko mikra when it comes to utk that's the name of god that will fulfill exactly what he says no matter what even if the jewish people sin if yudkev k says it there's total rahmanut ultimately he will do it no matter what comes down the pike even if the jewish people sin whereas the name shaddai is the king of taharakim that idea of should i which means sufficient is only fulfilled he will only fulfill those promises if the jewish people wherever he promises to is fitting according to their deeds if their deeds do not fit the criteria it's not going to happen um so we do have a little bit of a question why why were the albos so believing god said to the forefathers that with the haftakasha yerushasaurus that um this idea of the promise that your children will receive will inherit the land was not to be fulfilled ella it was only going to happen after 400 years not right away like we've seen genesis chapter 15 verse 13. aim so there's not even a question why they would ponder or question god so why would it bother us why compare the two so the beer sheva answers and he says you know what they did have place they could have they could have um questioned it eurasia's colors because in their own lifetime they did not merit to inherit the whole land they got pieces and it's like not like a teaser but if god promised you the land and then you had to pay for it or just to get a little peace it's a little bit uh disheartening but nevertheless they did receive a small amount with him at least whether it was necessary for them to live on were to bury half the cast of malay and right they they didn't receive it for free they still had to pay for it nevertheless they didn't complain can you imagine you were promised maybe you maybe your children okay you heard about the 400 it doesn't matter in the end you just got a little bit you had to pay for the full full price and still they didn't complain so that's a great thing to give honor to the to the forefathers for their belief now agave mariva now the truth is like i mentioned the verse dealing with hitting the rock and not speaking to the rock you'll find in chapter 20 of numbers verse 12 right god said to moses and to our own because you guys didn't believe in me or you didn't cause them to believe in me to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of israel therefore you're not going to bring this gender this congregation into the land which i'm giving to them he says this is not a styra this is not contradicting everything we just talked about why because before the before the sin of we're going to call the sin of hitting the rock instead of speaking to rock it was already decreed on moses what was decreed shalom he wouldn't see what would happen in the war with the 31 kings however but it was still possible that he was going to come into the land remember this is a seven year war and perhaps he wouldn't have lived the entire seven years and perhaps he would die before they finished the the conquest of the land whereas in the may marita allah okay so that would have been in the beginning what we just said in our verse but later on in midbar in chapter 20 verse 19 to 12 when the it was basically a final verdict that he wasn't going to go in the land at all so it could have been in the beginning he was going to go in the land but he was going to see what was going to happen to 31 kings okay um there's so many explanations i i won't have time so i'm going to end with this little paragraph and then we'll go into the third way i think we should do it so this little paragraph just explains what's the difference between the name you'd have hey and the name kaushikai as the the gemara says there are several times i revealed myself to abraham isaac and jacob as khalshikai so basically what he's telling moses is i was not known by the forefathers by my true name by my true attribute hashem because that's what i'm calling myself ani hashem that is certifying the authority or completion and the truth of my word loki anti because behold my promises to them on the kashikai i didn't fulfill but now with you this generation this generation i'm going to fulfill and what generation is it believe it or not from the time of adam until the present day of moses it's think about it it's ten generations from when ten generations from adam and tonoich and then ten generations from no until abraham and moses is the six generations 26 generations the utk bufke it's time to reveal this important matter in the 26th generation the gematria of yudhinayan aboveness 26. that's not what he says that's what i'm saying but in the meantime he brings down this he explains hashem that this idea of the promises of the through the name of yudkevke is below tanoy without any conditions whatsoever even if they sin came shame shaddai which is not the case by the name shindal and where any promise made is okay it's only going to be fulfilled if they fulfill the through their good acts then the promises would be fulfilled now we're going to go to dirk shlishi and for those who are on skype and want to cut out i get it but uh we're going to hopefully finish this in about 10 minutes it could be done probably not but we'll try so the third explanation god hashem who wants to life he wants to proclaim to the whole world yes he wants everyone to know there's such a thing called x nihilo that the world was created something from nothing okay now what does that mean something from nothing until this point many greek and roman philosophers and scientists believed the world always existed it always existed according to them and even according to whoever existed right in other words within the tradition that there was adam until moshe could be they also believed right that the world that it was a creator they believed there was a creator but what does it mean ex nihilo something from nothing now i don't even like that translation and you've probably heard me say before because yesh means mamashos that means there's something substance me from nothing is not a good translation so there's matter from energy or spirituality or light right from god's aim self whatever ain't self means means there's no limit to what his energy and powers are so let's just call it spiritual ethereal something not tangible so the tangible world came into existence from the intangible if that's a word untangible intangible okay so yes it was not yet widely known and spread out about the whole idea that the world was created as something brand new something from nothing that's why god had i mean he didn't have a need because god doesn't have any needs but he knew that we needed it right there was a it was necessary for god to spread the news to do it through these 10 plagues the 10 plagues is like a recreation of the universe okay it shows that he was the master in control the whole time from the very beginning in order that everybody should understand and believe retroactively so that everyone would know and believe that the world was created by god something from nothing like it says and before the very first plague chapter 6 verse 17 before hashem brings the plague of blood onto the um the nile it's uh chapter chapter 7 verse 17 i said so said the lord with this you will know that i am the lord in hebrew komar youth hashem uk you will know that i am the uk above k through these 10 plagues that's how it begins and in chapter 18 verse 11 where uh israel when he comes to believe because he heard well that happened in egypt he says oh to you elohim i know that god is the god of all gods he's the power of all powers this is many of the commentators have explained how it's possible through the ten plagues which i have one chart here it's very complicated oh where is it i have it here somewhere and here it is this is just one example how every one of the plagues match up with one of the ten statements of the creation of the world and they also match up with the ten commandments of um you know the famous ten commandments so srd wrote so is there's more than one explanation of how they all match up i'm not going to pin down one but this was adapted from safer partial schmos and no no no who put it together but it's a very interesting uh example of how each one of these makos one each one of the plagues emphasizes an idea of the mastery and control that hashem has over the world and it shows remember there were no witnesses on day one through day five i mean only day six and i would call that a witness they were created after everything else so to know that the world actually was created and something from nothing would be quite difficult to comprehend unless you had a revelation like we all did in the 26th generation as i mentioned towards the end of the last thing that we talked about going back into the clear car so he says that al-qaid alma that's why it says in exodus chapter six verse three i appeared to the aboses cal shakai now what is shakai shaddai means enough when you think about what they talk about the um the concept of x in hilo the big bang theory i think i'm not sure it's a theory anymore comes to mind because before this theory or principle everyone believed the world always existed from time from eternity but no there actually is such a thing as the world expanding and god says enough enough that the world should stop expanding now that's a very interesting one i also brought did i find it okay i didn't bring it probably for good reason um but anyway the muay fate alibria this idea of you of calcikai only proves or shows you that there was a creator and there's such a thing it's called creation but it doesn't really explain that there is such a thing as something new something from nothing it's only the uk above k that could do that explain that and that's why it says ushmir shem that name you came up okay i didn't make known to them ki shames they shall have because remember that uk buff king name it teaches you and reflects that god is the all existence all existence stems from him i call how you have the oath all existence stems from god this name utk vk all existence past present future all existence that certifies and authenticates this idea that everything stems from him that there's such a thing as yeshmiah to say that there is nothing in existence that didn't come from him so i'll just say in the positive everything that exists comes from hashem yes even the bad right everything everything everything and this is the i'm going to just read in english from now on i mean there's no english show i'm going to translate as we go this is the answer that that he's giving to moses because moses complains when he says why are you making it bad for jewish people even though already god said to him earlier on in chapter 3 verse 19 when he says god actually says you know that pharaoh is not going to let them go i'm sending you on this mission and he's not going to let them go the only way he's going to let them go is when i give give them a really hard hard time with the yad khazakah with a strong hand the comic-con wrote some motion nevertheless moses what was bothering moses he wanted another reason moses wanted to know the reason why that pharaoh's heart was going to become hard in other words why god are you doing this why are you hardening pharaoh's heart so much if it is in order to make all these plagues so that's still a problem because god is all-powerful he could just say okay let them go and they'll go i mean what do you need the plagues for what what value is the plagues and the whole idea of hardening's heart was to make the plagues come doesn't make any sense i want to know why what value what is the reason why is there a need for all these plagues until god responds to him and says you know the reason for it is because anee hashem i am everything stems from me all existence stems from me and this thing is not yet known in the world i want the whole world to know right it doesn't yet understand that it's yeshmiah even to the fathers i never appeared to them except through as khao shakai which only reflects this idea where i would say to my world enough but still i didn't yet mithra sam i didn't publicize the truth the the proofs regarding yeshmiah and that's why he says my name is yudhke vault k i didn't make myself known to them that way therefore i need to harden pharaoh's heart in order to make these plagues and the each plague reflects one of the ten statements that god used to create the world so that it's kind of like i don't know like not a reset button right you had the creation 26 generations before but now's the time and we wait till we hear this because this is important now is the time it's this generation that needs to know it it's like a reset button i want to make sure we're on track now this is hashem remember he gives free will so he's putting everything in the universe and those with eyes will see and we're going to say it like this why now what is so special this generation why does it necessary to tell the world and spread the news the gospel the truth that hashem created the world yeshmiah not fake news the truth why is this necessary this information necessary now more than all the other previous generations so if you look at verse 4 see verse four says now he committed speech i'm going to fulfill my covenant my my covenant etam with them let's take them as eretz kanan in order to give them the land of israel the holy land of canaan now think about this if you are familiar with the very first rashi of the torah and i beg you to go and look at it this would be in genesis 1 1 which i also don't have here but we'll have to go with it then basically he says right that cedric yitzhak why does the torah begin with the book of genesis why not start a book of law with the first law of the torah which is this is the first month to you start counting towards the pesach offering and then the leaving of egypt when the nation became a nation that's exactly where it should have begun and the answer that rashi is telling in the name of remy yitzhak is because in the future right well first of all there's a passage that's used about my my my deeds right but that in the future if it ever would be that the gentiles would say you are thieves you are robbers you will say to them god created the world and he created and gave whoever whatever land he wanted to give to whatever nation and it's true he gave it to the canaanites and he's the one who took it away because in the meantime you're calling us thieves you're calling us um con occupiers i heard that before in fact i've heard it almost every day since i've been alive right i was born after 1948 i was born before 1967 but i was born after and even till to this day right it's still a very obnoxious i have to say but it's a good reminder it reminds me of what rashi is actually telling us through the medrush and look what the clear car says if i god don't proclaim now right that it's me who created the universe and i the whole m the whole world belongs to me in kane yom romos you know what the are going to say you know what the nation is going to say list you are thieves you are robbers unbelievable all right so chev cheva umos that you took it by force you guys are i don't know occupiers i don't i don't even know what words to use you know but basically evil you know you are that's basically what it's telling you if you're if you're robbers you're stealing it it doesn't belong to you willow hashem and guess what they would say god himself didn't protest which means there is no god there is no god of justice if people can just by force do whatever they want and this we should keep in mind whatever is going on in the world keep in mind right there is a judge and there is justice no doubt you have to know it and believe it hallelujah in the meantime we're back in the clear car and he says this is what they're going to claim they're going to claim there is no um you guys occupied the land you took it by force and god didn't even protest and then people would come to heresy and deniability about god by saying lays didn't die and there is no judge and there is no judge judgment there is there's it's all healthcare right might makes right do whatever you want can the lord parse the braces like you explained on the words of ribby yitzhak and we kind of explained that already then tomorrow if you say hello gambinos is it not that during the days of abraham isaac and jacob he promised to give them the land and yet he did not uh proclaim this idea of uk above k right it was only the 26th generation the generation going into land of israel again is it not that they were already promised why now shouldn't have happened earlier that's why it says the gamma nisha matias when god says i heard the groanings of the children of israel that was an awakening that this is the time of the redemption so the covet this covet that we talked about this heavy weight of something is for us to scream out whether it's because of loss of business loss of travel people dying that we know people dying we don't know whatever it is people die all the time but at this particular particular time right i can't even say but you know that um it's it's a really bad flu right we know that it can really uh travel and do a lot of damage so the damage to the economy the damage to schools the damage to relationships it has a snowball effect right there's a lot of damage to be done through this covet okay so here we are so but god says i heard their groanings of the children of israel meaning to say that the avos they didn't need these signs because they didn't complain because they were believers they had such faith they were not uh in doubt but when it comes to the um um the non-jews didn't need it before this 26th generation because we were not fulfilling that promise we weren't coming back in the land of israel of atta but now in that generation that i have heard the cries the screams of the jewish people now is the time to come into the land and i think this is it guys wake up this is the time to come home ah can i need sarah say max that's why i got found the need to explain now to proclaim now to get it out to the world through what through these ten plagues that i am the one whose uk vk who all existence flows from me the lee color it's the whole land the whole world the whole globe belongs to the whole universe belongs to me will be a d litanarets and it's in my hands my ability my rights to give the land le misha erza that i want and that's why it says hashem as the verse continues and i will give it to you as a heritage as an inheritance as a heritage i am hashem why why youth because i am god who causes all existence to come into being vania i created the world the holy sherlock and everything that's on it all came beyond the therefore it's in my ability to give to you as an inheritance okay so what we're going to leave with is a tremendous amount of faith a tremendous amount of belief right that no matter what comes down the pike right whatever we're going to call covent as we explained here as the harsh reality of pains that's what it is that it's in order to bring the goola sooner and quicker okay with that i don't wanna end on a bad note with that we should really see the coming of a righteous messiah right that we're anticipating all the time and that we're going to continue to learn torah and stop reading the newspapers and looking online with all these theories and conspiracy theories we know the truth and the truth is right here this is the daily newspaper deal i don't want to call it a newspaper but you can get your daily news right you want to know what's happening in the world it's coming through the filter right hashem is talking to you through the scripture right and we have the weekly parsha and you can open up the book to anywhere you want hashem is talking to you find the cabrusa learn online learn on the phone learn in person i don't care just learn right hashem will continue we'll see you next week shabbat shalom how to stove and looking forward to the in gathering the exiles come home come home to torah a warm welcome home [Music]
