Join me as we learn kumish for Monday
paras the second Torah reading which is
chapter 26 verse 5. Yesterday we began
the commandment that God told Mosha
Allah to count the Jewish people. This
is the fourth census that the Jewish
people are going through before and this
is another one right before Mosha's
passage verse five
who was the firstborn of Israel of Jacob
the children of Ruven
the family of and the family of Palui.
Why does he say the family of and why
does he tell us each name twice was
because the nations of the world were
saying who are you guys to be able to
say that you are from which tribe you
may be
because you may think that maybe the
Egyptians while they were in Egypt they
took and they uh were not they were uh
they they may have mixed up who they
were married to and things of that
nature and they forced them to take
their women as wives.
Because one would suggest that if the
Egyptians were governed over their
bodies, meaning that they gave them
forced labor, how much more so you can
say that they probably took away their
wives as well and maybe these children
were not legitimate children and their
fathers were Egyptians.
Therefore, what God did was he put his
name amongst them for following made
them follow
saying I give witness
that this is their true father and the
women were not promiscuous.
This is what it says by King David.
This is the nation, the tribes of God
are a testimony for the Jewish people
that God's name Ka is a testimony to the
fact that all of them were uh holy and
did not engage in any type of
relationship with the Egyptian people.
Therefore, we're going to find all of
them it says
however doesn't say it. He didn't have
to say it.
But by he didn't have to say it because
the name already has God's name. The yud
in the beginning and the he at the end.
It's interesting to note that when we
talk about the story of the fellow who
was blasphemous and said God's name
because he didn't have a place and his
mother was the one who was attacked by
an Egyptian man. over there the medra
says the reason why this was only a
one-time event because since she was the
only one who was with an Egyptian man
and therefore we don't find any other
instances and the Jewish people didn't
know what to do because this was not a
recurring event and this is something
that the Jewish women are credited to
during the time of their while they were
in Egypt how they were faithful to their
husbands as well
verse
family.
These are the families of their count
was 43,730.
Verse 8,
and the children of was
the children of Ali.
This is the the famous who were the
chosen of the congregation who incited
the Jewish people against Mosha in the
assembly of Korak when they incited the
Jewish people against God Rashi. What is
it talking about? What's this
incitement?
They incited, they created uh
divisiveness and cited the Jewish people
that they should complain against Moshe
when they
also when the Jewish people complained
about God. He as well
meaning that they incited the people
they caused them to get upset and angry
and make problems against Moshe. And the
Torah concludes and tells us what
happened there at the time. Where did
they go?
And the mouth opened it, the ground
opened to its mouth and it swallowed
them.
When the entire community was dying,
while all the people, while the
congregation died and the fire destroyed
the 250 people that were in the
tabernacle trying to bring those insens
on the pans that Moshe said, and this
became ultimately for a sign that
everyone should know that this dispute,
what Korak did was never again disputed
that Moshe, Aaron, and all the people
that Moshe appointed was by divine uh
inspiration and what God wanted.
Rash
the word
as a sign and to remember it's
that nobody should ever complain against
about who is the right. The Torah adds
in something over here in verse 11
letting us know
the children of Korak did not die. What
does this mean? Rashi explains
they were the ones that were part of the
incitement of Korak's coup against Moshe
in the beginning.
However, once this became got out of
hand and they started the ar the fight
became larger
they decided to repent.
Therefore,
therefore a place was made for them in
hell that the in purgatory that meaning
that the earth that was beneath them
opened up and they were had a a hollow
space to escape. The yashu shaman they
stayed there and therefore they were
saved from uh death.
The word over here when we talk about
purgatory when the the ground opened up
meaning that everybody else fell into
the ground but therefore it's considered
as a terminology of purgatory that they
went to
verse 12
for the family of the descendants of
according to their families.
verse 13
and over here Rashi tells us what does
it mean
in telling us the names of the families
and we'll notice that sometimes the
families are different from the families
that were mentioned previously. So Rashi
explains why that is the for example
it's the same person as
because the word comes from the word
Zohar which means to shine means to
shine
later on we talk about the name of Shim
then
he long by this by this count none of
them were still alive anymore
we find this later on as well when it
comes to the tribe of five of his
families are no longer
he came down to Egypt with 10 children.
But over here when we talk about the
count there's only five of them. So we
will find that is no longer for the
family of God. And forb
seven that means from three tribes seven
families went missing
and I found this in the track of in the
in the Jerusalem
that when Aaron died
the clouds of glory went away as well.
Boakan
and the Canananites came to wage war
against the Jewish people
and they had some of them decided you
know what we don't want to fight the
Canananites and we'll go back to Egypt
and they went backwards eight travels
eight stops from
as it says in the book of Deuteronomy
that the Jewish people traveled from
and over there Aaron died but didn't he
die in like we learned
and from it's eight different stops. So
where did he die? Was it a
backwards?
These seven families tried to go back
seven stops go towards Egypt. The ch
tribe of Ley chased after them to bring
them back
and seven of these families were killed
as well. And because of that
and from the children of four families
died which were
and then
and from only mentions here that means
it was only very few
the fourth one I don't know which one it
is. So what happened over here is
therefore it says that Aaron died there
meaning that because of the terrible uh
pain and the the loss of families that
happened because of Aaron's passing it's
as if he died as well
explains that the people that are
missing and the families were missing
that they died during the plague after
the story of bum
Shim. However, according to the count,
if you do the math, if you see the
difference that from Shvet Shim, from
the tribe of Shim, you're missing
24,000. And it seems like that all of
them that died during the plague were
from the tribe of Shimon. And this was
24,000 different from this count to the
previous count.
Verse 14.
The families of
was 22,200.
Verse 15
for the families of God.
Verse 16 for the family of
the family of
because in the accounting of the people
going down to Egypt we don't find
anybody by the name of Osni. So
therefore, Rashi says and must be the
same person.
I don't know why they changed his name
from from Spain to and why they don't
call them the same name. [snorts]
These are the families of God according
to their count
which is 40,500.
Verse 19, the children of Yehuda
died in the land of
the children of according to their
families.
Verse 21 and the children of Paris were
the family.
Verse 22.
These are the families of Yehuda
according to their count
76,500.
Verse 23,
the family according to their families.
Verse 24,
for the family was the family of
the family of Shiman. Rashi.
This is the same name as we look when in
the book of Genesis when it tells us
about the people who went down to
Egypt's family. There's a fellow by the
name
because all the families were called by
the names of the fellows who went down
to Egypt
and the people that were born anytime
afterwards
were all part of the same families
besides because the only ones that
didn't come down to Egypt were the
families of the children of Yoseph
that they were all born in Egypt
and the children of Bella the son have
been
and I found in the in the books of the
discussions of
that really their mother went down to
Egypt when she was pregnant with them.
They were twins and therefore she was
considered as part of those that went
down to Egypt.
Therefore they were split into different
families. For example,
and were grandchildren of Yehuda and
they were also considered from the
people that went down to Egypt. So too
and they were also considered part of
the people that went down to Egypt. So
over here when we're talking about the
different families that went down to
Egypt, uh there's different ones that
some are considered as the grandchildren
and some are the children as well, but
they're all go by the names of the
people who came down to Egypt.
Rashi continues back onto what he's
talking about. Erd and Neon were the
grandchildren of Bella because the
mother came down pregnant. Back to what
Raisha Darian says.
He says if this is what from the rabbi
if Darian's giving this based on what he
read in a medish based on the rabbis
great but if not maybe if this is
because of a mistake I say
I think Bella the son of had many
children.
And therefore from these two sons
came a great family more than the rest
of the brothers.
And therefore they're all called by
Bella's name.
We see the same thing happened by
Manasha that he had the children of that
the families are basically split into
two. One is called by the children of
Manasha. is called the children of Mak
because basically there were many
families that were the he was the
majority of all the families. So they
just all attached them to him. Rashi
continues and says another thing he
found pertaining to said
there were five families as we mentioned
previously in the Rashi that there are
five families missing of the family of
this is actually we are part of the
prophecy of his mother came true.
So she called him the son of my uh the
son of my pain or the son the son of my
suffering
and when the story of the plegish and
giva which is spoken about in the story
of judges which then most many of the
tribe of were killed. This is where she
talks about my suffering that over here
five of the families of bey were killed
which is suffering and as well even
later on that many more of beyammen were
killed. This is where Darian explains
when he talks about the families of
biny. So what we have over here is the
rashi is telling us that many times
while the Torah tells us about the
families, it's not necessarily directly
those descendants of that exact family.
Many times the smaller family were con
mixed with the larger families of that
tribe. Verse 25,
these are the families of according to
their counts
64,300.
We're now with the family of Zul. We go
through the different families of
the families of according to their
names.
these are the families of the according
to their count according to their
families and this and here
which was 60,500
verse 28
verse 28's
family according to their families which
was
verse 29
had again gave birth to Gilad
family. These are the children of Gilad.
The Torah tells us now about a fellow by
the name of the son of he had no sons.
He had no sons only daughters and the
daughters of
these are the families of and their
count was
52,700
verse 35 these are the families of
according to their families
All the other families and children of
were called by the name of
and from Aiden as well was a very large
family. They were called by his name
and the family of was considered as two
large families.
You will see this by making the
calculation. You'll find
uh 75 families
and from the ley family you'll find
eight families.
So you have now 57 plus I'm sorry 57 not
75 57 families and then from Ley you
have another eight gives you a total of
shishim 65
this is why the Torah tells us in the
book of Deuteronomy
you are the minority
if you take the letter hey and the word
so the word hey which makes five
so if you take the letter Five ma 70
minus 5 is 65. Telling the Jewish people
that you are five minus the entire
nations of the world. There are 70
nations in the world and you are 65.
You're five minus them of all your
families.
He says this is what I understood from
the commentary of however I needed to
add and deduct to draw this conclusion.
verse 37
if these are the children of
the family of Iran as Rashi just
explained that these were two families
that came and therefore they mixed all
the families into these two large
families
these are the families of quoted the
entire account
it was 32,500
these are the families
according to their families.
38. We're now to the family.
The family of according to their
families.
He was called because this is my brother
that was taken down to Egypt.
All those children, he named them. As we
learned in the book of Genesis, that all
his 10 kids, he named them about what
happened to his family and his brother
Yoseph was named because his brother
became great and greater than him while
he was in Egypt.
the family
who is we don't find this name in the
children of that the book of Genesis. He
says who this is the same fellow as
Mupim.
This is because Yoseph was had to be um
when he was taken first by the brothers
he was considered that he was like a
slave by them and he had to be uh the
concept that he had to kneel and so to
speak be um full to whatever they need
at their times and therefore he gave him
the go the word mup uh called him.
However, when he called him the name
Mupim was because he also studied Torah
from his father from the word mip.
We continue with verse 40 and the
children of
these are the children of
according to their families and their
countish
was [clears throat] 45,600.
Verse 42. These are the children of Dan
according to their families. The family
this is the families of D according to
their families who is this. If it's just
if you take the same word and you spin
the words around you'll get meaning it's
the same. It's the same fellow.
43 uh 43. Yes.
All the families of Shukami according to
their count was our boyish
was 64,400
the family of their families
the name of the daughter of was
this is the families of according to
their account
[snorts]
which was the for the family of Usher
was the amount of 53,400.
If you notice the only one woman that
they named over here was Sarah the only
daughter of Usher and this is because
she was still alive. She was blessed by
Yakov with long life and therefore at
this point she was still alive and
therefore the Torah tells us her praise
and her greatness that she had such a
long life and therefore the Torah gives
her a shout out.
Verse 48.
The family of according to their
families
are the family of
the family of
these are the families of according to
their families
and their number
was 45,400.
These are the counts of the entire
Jewish people which you would come to a
number of
61,730.
This concludes the second Torah reading
of Paras.
