Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Bounty of Israel and Being Positive

[Music] welcome everyone to the Ibanez rush coming from this unit Baca the back a neighborhood of Jerusalem and we wrap our shots a lot now before we begin I want to remind everybody and let you all know there are links to previous classes on shellac in the section below just click on the description box and you will see links to previous shirin on this parsha like every week from now on Ezra - Shem now in the previous part classes we've dealt with the cities the partial sis's which comes at the end of shelah and we've dealt in depth with unfortunately I have to say it the sin that keeps on keeps on rockin meaning we are still toning for and we are still involved in the rectification of the sin of the Spy's you know when it comes to the sin of the a gal of the golden calf it's pretty much there's still you know dust particles that were still holding on to and rectifying but when it comes to the sin of the Marah gleam of the Spy's we were forty years in the desert because of that or let's just say an additional 39 because of that sin and unfortunately it's still to this day many ramifications and it leads into how we treat each other so don't forget that it's not just about the land it's about our relationship with that Kurdish Mara who the Holy One blessed be he and the way we relate to other people now without further ado what we're gonna do is move on to chapter 13 verse 22 so I want to read the verses in English and then we'll read them in Hebrew we're at 13 22 so it says like this let's start with 21 it says they ascended and they spied out the land from the wilderness of sin to the expanse at the approach to Hamas they ascended this reverse they ascended in the south and he arrived at have road so right away you have to ask yourself it's it's in plural the whole way it's they they they and all of a sudden he he arrived at have round where there were and those are these names ah c'mon Shh I tau my the offspring of the giant have Ron had been built seven years before so on of Egypt now that's the verse we're gonna discuss this is like you know when you read it and there's what we call push up shot simple reading of the verse well we're gonna deal with the next verse as well they arrived at the valley of Eshcol and cut from there a vine with one cluster of grapes okay leave word on a double pole and the pomegranates and the figs now this is another verse we're going to deal with they named that place the value of ESCO because of the cluster that the children of Israel cut from there okay so that's the English now in Hebrew we really let's say go to verse 22 and it says like this we have oh no no sorry yeah loop on Negev via vodka Braun Duchamp acumen Shh I the Salma Yoli they an arc of the Chevron Chevy Shamim Midna Soloff Nate so on MIT's Ryan now the word knit nasaw what does that mean it's been translated as chevron has been built built like in other words we are the organization called upon a right b by name so that's the roots so here it says NIV Nassau it was built already lift may seven years before this other place of Egypt what do we need to know this for why does God want us to know this very important fact so the clear car begins by letting us know he's quoting Arashi but Rashi is quoting a major squirt in the Gomorrah so in the Hebrew text chevron chevron even if the cell is named so on mitzrayim maybe i should already hint to you because soon as we really you'll say oh wow the word nibs nasaw yes it means it was built with maybe for seven years however Niven assert could mean and does mean being extremely fruitful a huge amount of productivity built productivity fertile it was extremely fertile so actually we'll look at Rashi in a second he could be close to Gomorrah cahaya moon ah ow Akkad me Shiva with sunbeh cult oh now look in the Rashi I put it out for you here and we're gonna have some questions well you can look right away with says he came to Chevron we're talking about kailath okay calif went there alone in order to prostrate himself on the Cave of the patriarchs meaning in a brown right the Murata Machpelah so that he should not be enticed by the other spies who might give negative counsel and that's actually why he merits Chevron in Deuteronomy 136 God says to Moses I will give him the land on which he has walked and in judges 1:20 says they gave keV round to Calif yes so if we look in the second Rashi it mentions specifically this place so on was built seven years prior it happens to be in Egypt like physically geographically so Rashi who's quoting the Gemara but is it possible that homme who is one of the children of of Noah built Chevron for Kenan who happens to be his youngest son if you look on the next page action actually the number 24 the sons of ham were cush mitzraim put and Kanaan so you have meat rhyme is the second of the four children which means he's older than Kanaan why would calm build can assume why with a ham build the city for cannon before he built one for his oldest son and if you look on the next page also i know if it's too small for you the family tree of calm just to show you that reading from left to right Cushman's Ryan booth and Kanaan okay so you see that that's part of the question is it possible the calm built have thrown for Kenan his youngest son before he actually built seven years before he built so on from its Ryan his oldest son so rather it was stocked with everything good seven times more than so as I mentioned earlier that the word knit Nassau could mean and does mean as well as time it was built this meant built in time seven years prior but we're gonna see that it was seven times more fruitful than Egypt this is part of what we call shabak the air to shroud the tourists telling you how great this land is how productive and fruitful and enjoyable this land is rather was stocked with everything good seven times more than zone the intention is to inform you of the excellence of the Land of Israel as I mentioned the SHhhh martial artist RAL for there's no place in the Land of Israel rockier than Quran in other words when you take the least expectations of being fruitful and you tell me how fooful it is whoa wait do you see the Golan Heights wait till you see the gully oh wait till you see the shephelah wait till you see all the rich farmland that there is if have grown if you ever been between Jerusalem through Bethlehem to have grown you could see how rocky all of the terraces they built still nevertheless it's rocky and there's no country in the world as excellent as Egypt meaning Egypt had the Nile it had what's the word artificial canals built right along the long the Nile where the Nile would would flood basically the area with water and then the canals would even bring the water much further all the way into individual farmland and it must be so luscious and green as it says it was like a garden of the Lord like the land of Egypt you look in Genesis 13 10 and zone was the best part of Egypt and have Road which was let's say the in most inferior can you say most inferior I had to let the least quality it was 7 times the quality of the best of Egypt unbelievable and even the residents of the Kings situated there yet as it says in Gomorrah so to 34b have rome was superior to it seven times over so that's we're gonna deal with now now let's go back into the horse or sheets and we're in the second line Valon Sheva shunning lift may seven years prior ain't Amash mccain on the most posh it shot when you're just reading the text it's with just the hassles it with time it doesn't seem you could read that Rashi and understand it that it was seven times more plentiful bountiful ki are themed no more now even if you want to say that the language lifts may which really means before he is referring to the Kadima of the mala it's actually let's say more preferable it's it's referring to a preference in terms of attributes that it's more the higher quality the local team members Mon but not necessarily reading this verse that it was built seven years before because he already started off with the whole problem how can it be seven years before cannon was the youngest son and it was built before miss Ryan it doesn't make any sense nevertheless he says Macomb become cherish I mean when it says Sheva shining seven years it's madaba back además mining doctor it's for sure at least sharp shot we don't leave we cannot leave the simple explanation but there's gonna be depth the hard way before seeing your little coat many of the commentators go out and search for meaning the llamas reassured me must speak but they don't find a quality answer they don't find a sufficient answered but he's going to give us one okay Julia here this it's amazing vanyo mayor so the clear car says I say sure heard of arc shoot demolish it's for sure talking about seven prior years in other words there's a double meaning yes it's also seven times more bountiful but wait to hear what he says he may Akasha who knock Josiah crushin nirvana of a pay rose after the fact that we can allow it we're gonna leave it we're gonna get permission right to allow this language not just to be seven physical or timely years but guess what it's seven times more bountiful and if that's the case in us at sown because Shana Elif meadows remember we already saw in the Rashi it was high it was high quantity high quality and high quantity land and it give out let's say he's just using numbers if in a given year it gave out a thousandfold than any other land nagilah Sheva Shamim Sheva a la fille meadows does that means that in seven years that's giving off 7,000 measurements Chevron he mullah Sheva Pammy Miata mitts on this place called Chevron gave off seven times more than Chevron than ten song mamela estabiish annaroo Shona Shiva la fille me dos therefore we're talking about each year even the first year it gave off already 7000 remember if a thousand is on the first year in zone so the first year a bronze giving off 7000 meaning what comes out from that oats Orochi up - who are you mooning the Pyro's butts own Chevy Shannon that the store Hall houses the silos the places of storing the produce are built they were mooning the pave the Pyro's pits own Chevy Shannon how you move you Nimbus Abram bhishan rishonim whatever took them seven years to build these different storehouses in Egypt it only took them one year because it have wrong because you needed to store it seven times so we're talking about built we already here now because of the high amount of produce coming you needed seven times already in the first year you needed seven times the amount of storehouses so if I say to you they've let's say they were built simultaneously we give at least you would think it's built before seven years according to shot not exactly but yes it was you needed the first year of that seven-year period right the seven times the amount of storehouses in several because you had seven times amount of produce named Kenneth that's case shop you're coming then it works out well Chevron Chevy shining NIV nosov B - hooah that Nate's on is right what how do you read it you read it and understand like this that chevron itself the seven years of plenty of extra produce came before that's how to read it Kadima bisman mamas already in time in the first year it already produced seven times the amount and of course you needed to have storehouses the shiet was a russian Binion mama sh and now we can understand why did the idea of building having a building because you need to build the storehouses ki ma Kong CH heartbeat to the or because any place you have an extra amount and a huge abundance of produce Boeing in Harbor ultros you obviously need the story ounces everything is going to be destroyed as hamako binoy within your name mama SH therefore even if they were done simultaneously meaning they were developed simultaneously guess what when it comes to her Brown it was built up in the first year what would only be normally built up in a place like zone which is happens to be the most productive place anyway in Egypt but it have rounded seven times more produce and therefore you need seven times more building I'll try to mention where we're at let's see Keep Calm Shh I bait to lure any place you have a lot of produce boning harvick ultros you need it by necessity you're gonna build a lot of Stuart houses vod's how much company being vijnanam Amish then the place is full of silos you're driving through this area whether it's Kevin rod or whoever is very productive and fertile any place that's very productive and fertile you're gonna find a lot of storehouses OBO gog i'm michael muh them too who are our bail in court or because maybe they didn't have the storehouses what would you do you'd have to sell it as fast and quick as possible so you know what he's gonna say I was catching the SOB you're moving then you're gonna have an overabundance of money so maybe they'll banks but what are you gonna do with that you're gonna build castles and really big you know what do they call tsunami ruining through name kerubim you're gonna build very big black elaborate houses the vanilla hem bottoms through named Vikash Rubin right this hebbronville nueva Colleen Yana yo T so what do you see in the end you see the come round is built up seven years before before town which is already extremely productive listen a Thomas Ryan kids they made out of sheer Osama comb this testifies this kids witness to the wealth the wealth of the place the reboots bulletins and the great amount of produce PE Tehran eret Spicoli and will the Land of Israel is highly higher quality in every aspect not just wisdom night not just Torah but the produce I heard today I believe how much produce is thrown away and destroyed so that the market does not go too low unbelievable ok anyway now this last this next line the his care Sheva Haaretz Eretz miss Ryan so this parsha is mentioning the the great qualities the praises of the Land of Israel more than the land of Egypt especially because in the future meaning in the next chapter we're gonna see that the Jewish people complain and what do they say nitin erosive in the shoe limits Ryan you find that in chapter 14 verse 4 which you can find on your sir sheet number 25 so we really this is something we're still grappling with today okay we need to understand that Eretz Israel is the best and we shouldn't go anywhere else who me Tom's NMR for this reason in our verse 22 ordeal which is the though odd Chevron he he came to Quran we have to be bothered by this okay Rashi addresses right away the lone MRV aha oh it doesn't say they came it says he came why the fish should bomb the Chevron the roush on malice Haaretz omits rhyme because when they did come when do the other spies the came truth have round they actually saw with their own eyes all the great qualities of the land of the land of israel more than the land of egypt I'll just read again l'tesia move on the Chevron they when they came to Chevron Russia malice Haaretz I'll miss Ryan how great how better the Land of Israel was than Egypt hey you Coulomb ballet they're hard to Isha Cod they were all unified like one man at least at this moment at this moment they were not evil they didn't even have the evil speech on their tongues but rather the South America Chevy carrots they all claimed the praise of Eretz Israel it was only afterwards knit cockle ooh it was only afterwards that they fell and in the ruination of the of the of their own aces of their own advice who brought Rashad tsadikim hi you but at this moment in time they were all righteous ok verse 24 we mentioned that the place they called NACA leshka now the place is already Cole - Cole if you ever drive between Jerusalem and cabron you pass a sign it says - go region right there's a sign Asheville a little place called Eshkol and it's full with grape vines I'm sure that that's that's why this is where we got we brought that cluster then where the word ethical actually means cluster but we're gonna see it also mean something else and this is absolutely fascinating we saw that have rod has four names do you remember this we called it Avril cute Arba mom ray and escrow so just as they just get a little what's the word familiar with it if you look in Genesis number 27 Genesis 14 verse 13 talks about a fugitive came and told a bra a brown the Hebrew the delivery and he was living in the plain of Mamre the Amorite the brother vegetable remember I mentioned mom ray and ESCO are names of the a general area okay so what why are they calling it now naka let's go it's called s Cole already wait to hear this Keamy yummy Marah beam hired Nick remark on that's go it's already historically named s call from time immemorial could the mossi cheuku impartial Caius are it's mentioned in the measures as well as this parsha ie they masses it's because they cut off the cluster right through the cutting off this cluster this s goal that they carried back to the to the desert they decided to call it NACA let's go right we're in verse 24 if wanted us go back and review it in the in the English 3:23 right they arrived at the valley of Eshcol and cut from there of vine with one cluster of grapes and boron at a double pole and of the pomegranates and the figs they named the place this is reversed they named that place the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster that the children of Israel cut from there but what else does that called me and we talked about this impartial sighisoara these are four aspects of death people died for different reasons right someone can die for their own sin someone can die for other people sin and then the four elements the dissin great fall apart and then there's the kiss of death have run the the Tibor okay we discussed the four names why it's heparin called these four names so escrow is bereavement and now we're gonna get a little bit above and this whole idea what's going on here bereavement is a loss of mourning okay so it's alluding to that no well how will we see it March this Cecil O'Shea Menaka which starts at first gonna say why did they add the word calm not humming the valley now where is kevro of Rouen is on the mountains so you have just try to imagine if the Golan Heights a very large area in Israel are in the very high area in Israel and grapes grow extremely well in the mountains right won many prizes and the other place is have roan now that mountain strip goes all the way let's say just north of Arad soon as it comes up sucia and whatnot the south have grown hills and it basically comes up to you shall I and a little bit north of here and that's the main that's like the center of our country there's a great amount enriched so everyone's on that Mound race now on top of that mountain you have like a plateau but there's a little bit of this valley a small valley called - go they called it the valley of Eshcol so why not huh why do you need the word knock on at it rule the ship close shell air to sell again to give praises to the Land of Israel if I'm gonna say it outside a little bit if we all know and we will show it that the best grapes grew on the top of the mountains and this particular cluster of grapes grew within a dip a valley and it's fantastic you just imagine well all the other grapes are gonna be like from the Golan Heights all the way down to Quran unbelievable so watch what he says well the ship Coachella just route this is to show you the praises of Israel keycard hug effing hot Oh whoo that's a magma harem the greatest grapes right the the prime good grape right if you want to define the best of the grapes they grow on the mountains key Hema MS moshling the yoke there they actually you know miss Barling here means they ripen they ripen much faster because of the Sun I shall let it go Chet there's more power the harem Medina Halim there's more power to the Sun and the the ripening aspect on the mountaintops that in the valleys the Hema luck us go min khana Kaaba amick and you know what they took they took this Eshcol they took this cluster from a death a low area even though it's in the mountains but it's a lower area of one of the lower areas in the mountains I thought pecan High God Oh Lula nevertheless it was extremely sweet and high quality grapes the Calvo Hummer Alicia Cole Atari so if that's true by this ash call this cluster the came from a place called echo which really means sorry and the valley there were they actually named it Valley but the place of clusters so you can just imagine when it's not a nanaka when it's not in a valley because amy turrets llama locust are magical and this answers why they didn't just called SQL which it hadn't even know by from time immemorial but they called it naka let's go well a model of partial partials not so now this is a little bit confusing for me maybe you can help me out get Scirocco so we have in parshas not so the Soto waters right where the accused woman accused of adultery being alone with a man who's not her husband husband's jealous she's to drink these waters that's what's impartial not so and you can find that in number 28 that's numbers 5 verses 17 through 18 the cones will take the holy water in an earthen vessel some earth from this kind of floor the cone shall take and put it in in the water then the cones will stand the woman up before the Lord and expose her hair the head of the woman you should place into her hands the remembrance meal offering which is a meal offering of jealousy's while the bitter curse bearing waters are in the Coens hand so in the Hebrew the last word is right would be other Cohen you may Amar'e a Murari right these bitter waters may Mara how Yuma took him now I never drank these waters and I don't never saw this before that these bitter waters were actually sweet now we do know that in the desert when we came to a place called Mara there were these bitter waters and they did turn sweep through the pudding of the branches and different objects into the water Luba Thiam shall you say al-shibh olio tamari that at least in their mouths like maybe like the taste right I said had it huh a bitter aftertaste there was a taste that was bitter al came hoots wroclaw marshawn that's why now going back to the place of Marah in Exodus chapter 15 verse 22 then you can find maybe 22 or 23 number 29 on the sewer she Exodus 15 23 they came to Mara but they could not drink the water from maar because it was bitter therefore it was named Maura okay alkane Karishma Mar that's why they called the place Marah bitter shallow Yvonne Minchin Mara sure you coat them Lehane Mari well I'm it's I'm not sure if this rhetorical question are you saying that you would not have understood from the very fact the place is called Mara bitter that the place itself had bitter waters but we're saying that they actually is sweet at least they turned sweet over there and maybe by the by the SOTA also they turned sweet so - in a book called the Academy explains sure whoo truck load the Alana SHINee Koresh go he's going he's like a little bit of play play on the word so - when the word is called s : the place is being called escorts coming to inform us why is it called s go uh-oh dose escalation cartoonish um now we're talking about the actual clusters of grapes that were cut from there now that's shot right if that's what it seems like when you read the verse why is it called nah cholesterol because of the Eshkol diode because of the clusters that were cut from their shallow tamartian Ikrimah alam escrow and they usually don't say that it was always called edge go odd shapes eh tom s Kaleo truth Kareem on the idea that there always were these great clusters choices great clusters value the aid of the good news huh our ads because really at the same time this is going to be a not a praise but this would actually give the idea of the opposite what's the opposite of praise ganoub is a Ashna shame ashaming it degradation degradation shame the color arts camo tom that there's nothing else there's and you couldn't find these anywhere else in the land that's why it says should be cold air it's high octane the puzzle right it tells us that it was all the whole the whole land was like this name Allahu Ben Makram and Martian is da me in the autumn and all they did was took I chance what occurred to their hands first well masha Nicolas is the fact that it says na caleche coal though a load of ash coal so far you just laying the groundwork that all you know is that the cluster is a cluster as a cluster that's why it's called a Schmo when you talk in the Forex but we can explain it differently Shaniqua edge go why is it called SQL and now that's why I want you to go to Genesis 27 45 did I copy yet so this is where rifka is a little bit bothered after she has to send Yakko far away because it sounds quite upset that he stole or seemingly slow and tricked his brother into getting the birthright so she's afraid that you know one's one brother is gonna kill the other and then the kids are gonna come back and one day take revenge and it'll be like blood feuding for a you know for oral history so what does it say in genesis 2545 until your brother's rage subsided subsides from you and he forgets what you did to him I'm sending and barring you from there why should I be a skull see why should I be bereft why should I be a Chicago gob mayhem yo Mahad why should I be a mourner for both of you in one day why should I see you both died right so that's where we saw and you can see Rashi what does that go I would be bereft both of you this teachers one who buries his children as close to cool sure cool so this is where we're getting into this idea of tisha bugs I say so here we say we saw the vers la Mexico schnell cam yo Mahad kima comes there Gorham New Hampshire NASA's cooling meaning this place a Chico where they cut off the grapes remember they're going back to tell this bad report right lush and hard about the land you know how many died close to 600,000 Jews die in the desert kima comes at gun lamps and a sushi cooling that this place is what eventually is going to bring about the downfall of so many people that were all considered mourners Chiara what were they saying to shame superior mizuna karma that just like this fruit can change a whole nation just because of these clusters well I they SiC cars to me Shambhala Israel it wasn't just a cutting off of the fruits it was cutting off the Jewish people from their route you from life that's amazing ke kula nickle sous aflatoun because in the end they were all cut off and entirely that's why it says I share cars from the chaparral so the Hebrews a little bit different than the English right when we read the English so it said like this because of the cluster that the children of Israel cut from there you're thinking it's talking about the cluster it's talking about the Jewish people were cut off this is a bigmac locus also a little more about the generation of the desert are they going to find a place in the world to come or not or are they completely cut off or not ok that's not for now but that's an interesting topic to find out so Daniel asked a fantastic question right the question basically is I mean I don't get it the women there's counted they're not counted where first of all the women did not participate in the sin of the golden calf and they loved the Land of Israel they weren't going for the the ASA they weren't going with this evil counsel so what do we know we know about the doors of salaf god they couldn't wait to come into the land they wanted a peace they asked Moses what are we gonna do our fathers not around them we're not married and where are we gonna get our land you know so it was a special compensation and decision made that they would get the land they didn't have to be married and they would get the land just like their father was promised now so believe it or not it was to the benefit of Moses that he sent these these spies because the spies came back with an evil report and what that's why schläfli cough the word the ha always means for your benefit God is telling Moses send them for your benefit why is it for your benefit because you're gonna end up having another 39 years of life see if you would have wanted to land immediately you know what's gonna happen you're gonna build a base in Mick - and that base of Nick - would never be destroyed isn't that fantastic well guess what if the Jews ever sinned again they would have to be destroyed the word Myshkin is like the word mish cone it's a collateral that served in instead of us when God was angry he didn't destroy us he destroyed the building of what installed therefore it was to our benefit also that Moses didn't what Moses wasn't going to go in question as to his benefit he stayed alive another 39 years okay let me just go I know I said it very quickly if Moses would have gone in right away or even at the end of 39 years and whenever he built would never be destroyed now God already said there are certain things that we do that are very bad that are worthy of let's say almost complete annihilation so the fact that there was no building temple built by Moses that mean it could be destroyed if it could be destroyed and it was destroyed that means it was destroyed and we weren't destroyed so as to our benefit as well that Moses never went in but the fact that Moses was not going in that could have happened in the first year and therefore Moses would have died after year one in the desert but he actually gained another 39 years through the situation of the Marah glee because the Jewish people were punished in the desert for forty years in order to die out God let us die naturally what a Hesed right what a kindness you know instead of wiping us all out in a very catastrophic way okay so I hope that cleared up some of the okay now we're on verse 27 it says they report it to him and said we arrived at the land to which you sent us and indeed it flows with milk and honey and this is its fruit okay that's the verse we're gonna deal with but we're going to read the next few verses but the people that dwells in the land is powerful the cities are fortified and very great and we also saw the offspring of the Giants okay let me just read the Hebrew it's a tool of the Umrah Banu lr8 'she she locked on of the gums of at Halawa Vashti the superior then the next verse Efes that means but Piazza um hey Yoshi Baris Ferrari but Sorrows Godot Lowe's mode the gum you read a a knock really sharp okay so verse 27 gum savate allah would wash he write it's a land flowing also to land flowing with milk and honey I'm real emotion what did they say to Moses Cole and the very Matata and I shared the bar to be Shamus Shem Moses everything you told us all the lists all the good stuff it was really there we actually saw it the novel the coulomb devarsi 100% true the car share Shimano Cain Reno and just as we heard that's what we saw exactly the same position aru like they said mono LRS we came to the land I share Schlachter know we actually came to the land that you told us about meaning was all true because if it wasn't they might have thought maybe we checked the copies maybe we're in the wrong place right tells you all these things and you get there and it's not true no they said you sent us we arrived at the place you sent us two kilo hiya boss she knew eBay is a dub are if there would have been a chain any of the description the Moses had given hayan Eirik you love Xue ers ashesh luck tunnel ashab they would have thought maybe this is not the land he sent us okay the fact that everything fit the description they knew in the right place my office jakotsu ba hit to our him ah hain great they found the there was nothing lacking in their description the no Seth of the Warka who now in addition their words they actually said she gum that also it's a land flowing with milk and honey what's that honor how can they say that also the Tovar at Carlo Medina coup de varela they're saying that actually however one particular thing we didn't find Kim Martha she Siemens at the book Medusa that you said this is a sign it was obviously tied and tried and tested the tried and tested this is obviously the sign that you gave us Shama comas ah same yoshinari up Rosine one of the ideas was that this would be a place that the people were very strong how do you know if they're strong right if you tell me I'm gonna tell me how the city's fortified or not so if the cities are very fortified Daniel if the seas are extremely fortified you can't break the walls does that tell you the people are strong I would assume yet Wow I can't break it so it must be very strong but no the opposite is yeah but no the opposite is true strong people don't need walls okay it's the weak people it's true you know what it says in the Torah it says three times you're gonna go up and the the non-jews are not even gonna do not eat we're gonna want to attack they're not even gonna want to come in God puts thoughts in people's minds you won't even need and standing army to defend the borders they're not even gonna want to come in okay 300 your males are gonna go to your show lion you're gonna leave your women and children at home maybe you know a couple of the hog game not all the hog game you want to enjoy their company as well but in case you couldn't bring everybody you still have an obligation to go and you're gonna leave your women and children with no standing army and the whole world knows none of the men are in the Golan Heights right none of the men are in the Haifa they're not on the borders they're all in Jerusalem what a great time to attack and yet Hashem caused it that they wouldn't so yeah okay we're built we build walls because we weak masses were strong okay Seder that's because we were aware of our weakness we're not arrogant say we have we're strong that's so America also they want to build a wall because they have a weakness you know the weakness is a great economy okay ah the dover F Codd la mattina Cabrera okay read that qiyam art there's Simmons there but the Medusa Shiva Malcolm I'm ours so in a place where the the people are strong they sit in open cities that's why it says in verse 28 F is however Piazza I'm Yoshi Barnes it's a very strong a very strong people are in but Soros good dog vote and he the claim is this people have great fortified cities what does that make any sense if you have a very strong people they should be in so this is the one big inconsistency here okay this is where we were gonna be discussing a little bit if you have a strong people they shouldn't be building up all these defenses okay however the language F this is however so now we understand there's going to be one major thing that is not in the description the hob eight you mean array look to the right and see Bahama Abreu what did they say they said Aaron gadelle name great big cities but Soros mode would very strong extremely fortified they were partial Suvari now if you look in Deuteronomy chapter 1 verse 28 that would be number 33 on the source sheet where shall we go up our brothers have discouraged are saying a people greater and taller than we cities great cities and fortified up to the heavens now I want you to know this is the first time in Deuteronomy 1:28 we have the whole description here we don't see them describing as these cities that go all the way the heaven meaning these the greatly fortified all the way into the heavens what does that mean what does that mean in Deuteronomy that's Moses Moses spoke Deuteronomy okay with the approval of a Shem but these are his words no Matt see neshama Bishamon we don't see that the spies used this language that they was fortified all the way to heaven le chameau shochet haven with the dre MK fira can Sparkle Moses understood the heresy the apostasy the denial of the supremacy of God Almighty in their words and he added that word to their description even though they never used the word but when he goes over in Deuteronomy he describes it as the as if they were saying that their the the decisions are fortified all the way to the heavens then you notice it doesn't say that here the Americas what did they what did they say Kazak who me men knew right they did say that they're stronger than we are okay you can find that I'm just looking for the actual verse verse 35 source 35 that's on the next sheet okay numbers 31 1331 but the men who went up with him and said we are unable to go up against the people for they are stronger than we Kazak who me men knew now that's gonna be very telling if they said that to Moses they're varied they're stronger than we are come to your colorful abala bias ain't no Yahoo LaHood CK let me Sean what are they saying they're basically saying God does not have the ability to have that relationship with his people he took the side of Egypt and he you know maybe he doesn't have the power to bring us in he God does he's like the owner of a house who can't even collect all his vessels that someone else something else is stronger than us and now it's not God the Amish turquoise exhibit lehem the cook there sure mine Lucille a ham what they were saying was that the strength is coming from the stars not from God but from idols the Sun the moon right and all the foolishness and when they said with Suraj Bashar mine it's fortified all the way to the heavens shim is Alam Bashar mine that the constellations in heaven cause acne medical yoga are even stronger than our God God forbid Lumet Killaloe omluke fear zu both Irish but in the beginning they weren't speaking as apostasy and heretical against God that's not how they started out they said but suros good dhola's mode they're very fortified cuz your book Caleb Hawkins did rayon but then comes on Caleb and he contradicts their account I'm the fear of the theorist then their response is it even stronger heresy has become America's they respond he's even stronger than us it is even stronger than us me South d'Ivoire am nikasha roach derail hiya gum came clearer the truth is is very interesting about lies in general lies in general always a little bit of truth okay just keep that in mind otherwise you wouldn't have all the stake knows anything that is absolutely not one thread of hit of truth in it doesn't even get off the ground but when it's included some truth it gets off the ground but how can you also tell when people speak lies all the sudden at the end it actually sheds light it's not just lies anything when you get people to talk a great part of communication is listening listen to what people say usually at the end is very revelatory of what they originally had in mind to begin with we saw Abraham nikasha roast Ibrahim that only at the end their words became recognizable what they originally said in the beginning that also there was fear there was heresy that's when they originally that's why Moses able to say in the repetition of the torrent in the Mishnah Torah in Deuteronomy Bitzer especia mine what did they say they actually said that these were fortified all the way to the heavens now verse 30 and numbers 30 it says Calif silence to people to hear about Moses and he said we can surely go up and take possession of it for we can indeed overcome it very interesting right the words that he says is our low now that right now that is like we can surely go up the original otah and conquer it take possession Kim yong-ho knew how another double language we can surely do it it's possible it's totally possible to do the foot run Rashi says we can surely go even to heaven if he tells us make ladders and go up we could do whatever Moses says whatever God commands we could do he was very was a big optimist right it teaches you a lot about words words have reality so the clear card mentions Cathal halasana ceaselessly for a machine a Pawnee the fact that it says our load not let we can surely go up there's two words it's a double language so what does usually it means like there's an emphasis but there's also other dresses there's other ways to explain it Ahad one is a low clap clappy mala meaning we can go up towards the heavens as it says in Jude in Genesis 46 for Genesis 46 for says by God when he tells the father's I will go down with you to Egypt Yaakov and I'll also bring you up and Joseph will place his hand on your eyes so I will go down to Egypt that's God speaking and I will also bring you up this double language we learned out that we're talking about the Shekinah that the God will go with us in exile he will go down with us in examinee he will also come up with us out of Exile and no key I let her gum are low because I'll tell us gum Allah is referring to the Shekinah also gum alone so when it says Gamow law also going up it's going on the scheana that's the divine presence the algarve yeah like gum whoo so the fact that we're going up God's going to come up with us Peru Chacon the paths open up a little bit and I will one that start you start you cousin these additional sorry there's not only that God's just going to bite himself but when the Jews are leaving the Jews yes he's there even before ninth level the worst of the worst yes who started what they got they did they had to do something there's no way that God has any power whatsoever it was by the air it wasn't a little bit because gum Peru Chacon I love meeting going up in my tent mode namely if you agree with me to go up the screen at 11:00 the basement no not then the the skin of divine presence also going to go up to the it's uninteresting this language to the house of its resting which believe it or not is Heritage Trail this is a palace of a chef this is where the Shana rest TRS AHIMA Lomas screen Amir Mosul of this land is the place where the divine presence rested has always rested from time in the world like hazael tell us in work Hulan it says sod digs a bouillabaisse Maloney returned my Yaakov coming and the the slept on the temple mount with he had the

them noock virgam inoculum they work sir sims with both sides the yoko attack elias brachii shame out of the the abilities the abilities of God are with us a Marathi Maru so the the spy said me cara

halal or not they said were not able to go out keep Kazakh momentum because it's much stronger than us Kavya Koch Kalpana mala arm rule but God it is they were referring to God that they were saying they were that was fira they were saying God doesn't have the ability and when you say God doesn't have the building you don't have the ability this is one of the major things in Judaism when you learn about the powers and the abilities of a sham your whole life changes if you get to know Hashem then you know yourself you're creating the image of God he is unbelievably you can't even fathom the power that he has and that he gave you but when you think that God was born and get was putting diapers okay and and died on a cross I'm telling you now this is like the most ridiculous thing to think about your God right this is your about God's abilities he has no abilities except to someone else has to change his diaper for him right baby Jesus right somebody has to change baby Jesus diaper and then he dies one across he's hanging there like this is your God he's gonna die how many hours does it take six hours twelve that who knows and then like come on you have to bury it you have to bury God I mean come on something's so you basically comes down to this when you start to learn about the God of Israel and all the different names and the attributes it's mind-blowing that you're creating the image of God and he is without limit and he gave you certain abilities okay but you're human but when you realize the immense power that he has and that he gave you and the minds right they say mine's a terrible thing to waste when you start learning Torah and Talmud and you're like going into every possibility and learning so much about the world it's endless endless that's why Jews are so creative right they create they they're motivated to change the world to fix the world tikkun olam right something that you say is impossible we'll figure out how to do it because nothing is impossible nothing's impossible my Rocher Sheva runoff why were told us if you say I can't it's idol worship that doesn't mean you can it means you can with a lot of help from heaven okay it's not all within your ability but you're a partner with a Shem the the unbowed you can't describe it but if you just start to learn you'll see the possibilities broaden okay we're gonna finish up with the second explanation what does it mean Allah I love to go up so he says image Aliyah F Shari T the actual possibility the truth is going up as possible however not LED button eyes there however
