Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Israel's Secret Weapon

well welcome everyone to the internet beit midrash we are in for a interesting evening like always and i want to remind you if you really enjoy what you see and what you hear to subscribe to our youtube given a channel and hit the notification bell so you will be informed about upcoming videos students are updating [Music] our shot Ballack that you will find the numbers chapter 22 it's really the second verse that Ballack saw whose Ballack is the Ben C poor he's the son of see poor he saw all that Israel did to the amorite now one of the things I want to point out actually two things with the clear car points out and I want to get them out on the table right now is that what did he see exactly the easy answer is if you just turn back one page you could tell that he must have seen the fight that Israel had with oak see Conan ugh they were amirite stern right see honey it was an MRI just turn back and you'll see what happened perhaps it's not so simple okay the other thing is who is Israel and I say who is Israel because we will notice that there are four pronouns used to describe this Israel in the next several verses so let's open our right let's open it up and we'll say in English and in Hebrew it's right Belloc son of C poor so old that Israel done to the amorite so here you have Israel he saw Israel the second thing is more was very frightened of the people the second thing is mo of was frightened because of whom Israel right what doesn't say so says the people so more the people because it was formidable or was a lot of people and the Moab was disgusted or full of dread in the face of the children of Israel why would they widely being called the children of Israel we have Israel which is different than the children of Israel okay Moab saw Israel damoff was frightened because of the people now they were either disgusted or full of dread because of the children of Israel and then verse 4 says more upset to the elders of Midian now whom the congregation Israel is called the congregation will chew up our entire surroundings as an ox chews up the greenery of the field bow up by the way in case you didn't know this by now who was the son of c4 I think we know that but guess what he was the king of mauve at that time so what I pointed out to the clear car points out to us right away well guess what it does say that he saw Israel with all Israel that his run done to the amorite so the clear car has a very important question the he'll only say mitzraim how you could totally mellow 40 years ago or 39 years ago okay you had miracles in Egypt perhaps they didn't hear although Egypt was the the capital of the world the commercial world probably even the spiritual world and for sure by the time that the sea had spirit on our way out of Egypt the whole world knew the world trembled right just read read the verses back in in Exodus so the whole world knew bollocks certainly knew so what about all those crazy member mirka land and wonders right they were greater than what just happened if you turned the page so why wasn't dialog or whether even these in law of concerns are contemplated those things we're saying that ya bollix saw all that Israel did so if we think Israel is Israel just going back one page we'll see it on a dog so what about all those miraculous unbelievable things that happened 39 40 years ago la below his bone name but otaku dollars with no rose a sheriff's auction why wasn't he contemplating those great and awesome things that Hashem had done why is Israel concerning him as opposed to what Hashem had done the OD Ashley hit beau named and furthermore he mentions about the four names so I already mentioned them but I'll tell you what they are again he says Jacques Jacques arcanas his shroud barber Seamus very it's very interesting that Israel is called by four names here Israel harm B'nai Israel and kaha and we read the verses fine he ends that paragraph by saying hello devar who this is extremely unusual happens look through the whole Bible where do you see within one or two verses Israel called by four different descriptions or four different names if you want to go to number two in the source sheet it mentions the four different languages used to describe Israel so we'll review them we speak we spoke about dialect saw Israel number two that MOA was frightened on account of the people and they were all so either disgusted or dreaded the word frightened is Veigar and the word for disgusted or dreaded is Leah cots so we're going to describe what those things are and why those phrases are used on account of the children of Israel and D the last one is the congregation it will link us up as an ox all those descriptions are noteworthy in other words not just saw but Israel not to straighten but was on account of the people not just dreaded but it was on account of the children of Israel and the word congregation is used in terms of an ox licking us up now keep in mind the first one about seeing Israel is related to Barack being see the frightening and the disgust is related to Moab and the last one is actually what more says to Midian okay to the oldest Midian so it's about a congregation and that's all going to be noteworthy people your notes in front of you so the clear car begins by saying who you are dove or Kaku this is how it's going to be explained and understood the way the world works now today we are quite lucky because 99% and maybe I'm exaggerating let's just say 95% the world population is basically literate okay but throughout time 99% of world history 99% of the world was illiterate it happens to be I don't want to brag I mean it happens to be the Jewish people were always litter it's probably 95 to 90% literate throughout all of history but the point I'm making here is not bragging rights we're talking about the idea of the Kings the way it worked is the Kings always had Chronicles they always had access to libraries they had scribes they wrote things down and we'll call them Chronicles aha Molokini H lehem safe for deer a high immune the way King the way the world works is the Kings basically were literate if they weren't they had literate people around them and they had this Chronicle to show life cotillion called hot colors new yummy Robin all the history all the things that occurred in history was written in these books well jamon um but the majority of and I'll just use the word ignant ignorant masses Amen you're doing kima hiya the only thing they really knew and probably you were concerned about was the presence whatever was happening then and now Naja rowing being nahan whatever they saw with their own eyes Ramon Shamu weepy hush mwah min Hamoui oh you should be man the only thing that they were concerned about was what they saw with their own eyes or what they heard with their own ears from other people spreading rumors about things that occurred in their lifetime Lathika Bala he was a king therefore Balok who was a king sahayam Ella he named the yummy Robin you pocket that's low he was aware of history Masha also ready for this about Yaakov he knew the history of Yaakov everyone knew the history of Yaakov do you know Yaakov did Yaakov wiped our scam right Nablus in Israel called Nablus by the by the Holy Roman Empire right the Holy Roman Empire so it's called the shrimp that's what it was always called and that's where Yosef is buried we'll get to that in a second so what happened in Shem our sister Dina was raped and when the brothers heard about it two of them stood up and said this is not right we can't let this be not only that these I call them a sugarless right this crazy clan thought that they could just move their way in and marry our daughters our sisters so they said there's sin we're not giving her back they CAD kidnapped her and said we want to marry you know the son that son of the chief wants to marry her in fact we want to marry all your daughters so Shimon and lady the sons of Yaakov came up with a scheme now let's say a clever scheme and they said yeah right okay sure okay well we'll make a deal like that but you know you have to be circumcised first so during the they agreed and the third day of the circumcision is actually very painful and and harsh on the body and they wiped out the town so apparently what we're trying to say here in our story that in the Chronicles Barak knew about what about Yaakov and what anybody just shouted me what do you mean Yaakov Yaakov had nothing to do with it in fact if you look at the storyline Yaakov was quite hesitant and adamant not it was not he was not happy that it was think it was done okay from all appearances when you go through in fact if you want to go to Genesis 34 10 that's number three what did you say to shimon olathe you have troubled me to discredit in the a monk am the the locals here yeah first of all he even claims he knows he's few in number this is part of the problem what if all the enemy gathers together against us we might not stand the chance so I want you to know what he did he prayed and how do I know now I want you to go to Genesis 48 it's really verse 22 that let's read 21 and 22 so Israel says to Joseph write Yaakov the same to the son behold I'm going to die and God will be with you and he will return you to the land of your forefathers and this is the where it begins I'm giving you I'm giving you a place called stem and so it's a little bit of a double meaning he tells him I'm giving you Shem which means Kamath had one extra portion which I took from the hand of the amorite with my swirling with my bow I Nina tateel akashic am a hot I'm giving you one portion Allah fee huh above your brothers over and above that means a double portion because of minashi no frying they were elevated to the status of full tribes even though they were grandchildren okay they weren't yakko's 12 children they were Joseph's children I should look Achtung me on hand Maury which I took so Yaka Yaka be saying this anybody read this before I was wondering what does it mean I actually he's telling you he's the one who took it the car B will be caste with my sward and with my know so I just want to read one more line in the clear card before we go deep into this verse so we're talking about Yaakov which we will now refer as Mr Al Sabah Israel our great grant so in the Torah when it says Israel it's talking about Yaakov Aveeno yet Jakob our forefather Israel our great-great-grandfather when it says B'nai Israel it means us the children of Israel when it says homme believe it or not we're gonna see it's talking about the era of Rob and when it talks about the word how it's something that referring to Manoj in the Frey I'm talking about Joseph and B'nai Yosef and we're going to talk about it but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves so he looked in the Chronicles and he saw what Yaakov did to the Amaral rights okay in there came to watch this I thought he who hire rocky shehad he was just one man Reuben a base oh ma say miss Parr and the people the puppet the people of his family the his household were a few in number so you're talking about maximum with all their slaves and the Congress and all the people that were around them maybe a hundred people maybe 200 but you told about a very small Familia family tribe with men you know about twelve people maybe if you know with all the the addons up to a hundred maybe a few more and they took over and killed at the amorite so the the mean scam they were amirite so he says I thought Pete Kane even though they were a small number meet sock uma Salima they took over and wiped out an entire nation and now we have our verse in Genesis 48 22 I share the cocked in the odd memory the HAR be fooled Akash T so Kunta kazow okay in the gomorian Baba Batra 123 a they understand the words the car be the caste to be what to feel out of his prayers now I want to mention something how do you get the words how do you understand the word my sword and my bow to be prayer well look at Rashi Rashi mentions what is this what does this mean my sword and my bow he huffed my total Otto Rashi tells us very simply it's his cleverness it's his wisdom and his prayer but I want to tell you something else I want you to look carefully at the word that roof and there's a bet and the bet is in the beginning and there's a good at the end the bet means with Saturday's a sword the European means mine with my sword and the next word is and with a bet with cash it bow and the European is my and with and with my dog you know that the word with this is not necessary the second with in other words you have with my sword and it could have said and my bow that second bet in the word Vikash he infers a word of the kasha the kasha is a pleading it's a requesting therefore the word actually means beyond beyond to feel right it's a bit implied and at once you realize it's beyond the field then what is the first word mean just to give you another idea the Yaakov was praying and he had weapons he himself basically was as we're talking about these physical weapons but he also had the spiritual weapons so look at Genesis 35 5 so I don't know how to translate exactly the word here for fear because people translated different differently Teek hot right and they traveled like Esau who the teeth hot aloo ki ng al harem right there was a fear of God upon the cities a chef's coat a ham which was in the surroundings the low road through after a Bonet Yakko the the the natives knew the Yaakov and his family were fierce warriors and they work on a mess with them though the fear of God right they understood then don't what does it mean the fear of God this is what I want to describe if we're talking about prayer is really the weapons of war let me just backtrack I didn't give you this source but we've seen it before when the Jews went out of Egypt it says they were how mush how mush means armed it says right they went up huh machine Rashi says clay Zion clay Zion means the weapons of war now the clear card asked a very good question well how would they ever have trained and how was a miracle all of them had exactly five weapons each because the word Camus SH has another level of meaning which means himesh that's why we understand to say that was only 1/5 the Jews that went up but guess what very nice but you're not gonna take it out of it's simple meaning as well they went up armed but with what arms it's a miracle that everyone had 5 weapons number one and number two when did they ever train so he says that once they accepted the mission to lead to Egypt to go to Mount Sinai It was as if they accepted the five books of the Torah that's what we call the Amish the Amish the five books of Torah are right it's the word come back Amish kamesh Rashi says their clay Zion know what Zion me arm weapons no we've already discussed this how many books really are there the Torah seven books because we have the MIT bar is split into three when we have the upside down inverted nuns so really there are seven books even though it says they went up with five books Rashi says right away that it's a vessel of seven the Torah he's giving you an allusion to something that we already know unbelievable now the Talmud in Baba Boxer 123 a goes like this how do we know that we're talking about a bow and an arrow referring to the sword so there's a brighter that relates these verses and with regard to yakko's bequest to Yosef which he said to him he's giving over moreover I've given you one portion above you above your brother's which I took out of the hand of the amorite with my sword as we saw that's 4822 so the bryce explains the verse but is it really true that Yaakov took the portion with his sworn his bow we know that he wasn't happy what are you talking about he couldn't have done it he in fact in Psalms 44 6 and verse 7 he says I don't trust for I trust not my bow neither can my steward save me he's talked about his physical prowess here not his spiritual weapons rather what is the meaning of my swerd what did he rely on and what can he trust this is referring to prayer and what is the meaning of with my bow now that's referring to petition or request we're gonna get into a little bit right now into the Bennish high the ben yehuda what is the difference between repair and request now before we do we also have an idea of a double-edged sword in Hebrew ss word is poppy alt it has the word pat twice our sward our weapons is our mouth it's a pet double-edged sword we use our mouth when we teach and learn Torah and when we pray okay so that we know ready now what is the difference between a sword and a bow now let's open up the Benesch kai the Ben yoga on this Gomorrah in Baba Basra 123 8 he says Karev zette to Fela he's quoting the Gemara that the sword is prayer and the word cash it caste mines my bow this is bill vaca Shoppach Basha it's a request eh no mama refresh payment eh pain - fela lava kasha he wants to give us a explanation he's asking exactly what is the difference or is there a difference between what we call prayer and requests llama - fela Makana be shamed careth and you know what else is interesting we said that the prayer is related to what - the sword where is the but cash on the request is related to the bow were arrow nearly the sea otter - Maya with God's help I'm going to explain that the word - fela the concept of tefillah prayer is clay of the volume it's poly laden with Sarovar this is referring to the words or the matters that someone prays a person prays for a higher need for something transcendental shooty Cronulla mos this is actually prayer is a way to fix what we call the four worlds the four different dimensions that were in the four dimensions the hain't feel assured Sarek tikkun olam boys once we talk about this word the Fila the - fela is actually doing this it sticks in the four different worlds sorry she a boss darn connect it at sailor at sea loose briea yet Sara and a seer so when we pray there's already in order every morning we start out with the brook halt and we do pursue canons Imre the songs of praise and that's going to be parallel to the world of action and then we do the Schwab with its blessing and that's going to be parallel to sorry I skipped something let's start off again the Brazos that's the asiya the the super Zoomers yet Syrah the shmatte its blessings is Bria and the Shmona Ezra the Amidah the real car of the prayer is hot salute so we're talking about the highest level that's emanation and then we have creation and we have formation and we have the will of doing which is the lower level and that's the beginning level and we do this every morning cashier also unshaken essa the god allah and this is exactly how the unsaved leave the members the men of the great assembly formulated our prayers and to feel our chakra should take new carbonyls and then there's me route so the carbon hose and the brothels in the beginning then there's murals are the pizookie the zebra then it says the other' but that's talking about the brothel krishna the Schmoe itself and then finally Amida and they're parallel can egged Alamos which we mentioned already the Otzi loose debris ax is Syrah and SEM and guess what now we're in for the real juicy part they're parallel to the four letters of God's Holy Name shame can negate valid oshio shame avaya now i just want to make a small commercial break just two weeks ago we had rabbi Josh golden give a class on the path the spiritual path of how to use the Ute cave of cave God's holy name in this fashion okay so I'm gonna disrupt a Chamblee mater I'm gonna put a link in the in the description box below to his for this class so the parallel to the four letters of God today borrow who that's hinted in the cereth in the sword itself and now ready we're going to learn something so hard together how often you get to learn zohar with me hardly ever because I hardly ever learned the Tsar but he's quoting Tsar he says now try to imagine this sword so the very tip of the sword that's the yield remember what we're actually using is God's name as a weapon of war maybe it's to fight ry8 Sahara maybe it's to help bring Tico into the world that's really the same thing so anyway the yard of the you cave of K is the tip the top of the sword the oath love the love he says is the actual swear itself okay because it's a straight long thing and then the to Hays are the two sides the double-edged sword that the two sides of his really how he said plain punim shelf harem économique on the two sides of the sword will hankerchief that's why it says hair of lash em kid no there now I don't know how many people know this but if you want to now just go and I want to skip I don't want to skip Isaiah 26 cord but maybe we have to just to get the idea in judges 710 if you read this whole chapter 7 with get down you'll see there was no real babble at this moment the battle was with the sword of God and miracles took place so I suggest you read the whole chapter but in the meantime just leave this verse and the three companies blew the trumpets broke the pitchers and they held the torches in their left hands in the right hands the trumpets to blow and they cried the sword for the Lord care of LA Hashem it's got the sword of God is our weapon of war ok so get to shul put your fill on da bin from the beginning right till the end with passion and you'll you'll find your your your relationship with Hashem will grow look back at 26 4 in Isaiah and bill kuba Hanoi are they are TBI I don't know it's Sorolla mean it's with the with God's name and specifically the Yuta hey but with God's name the world was created and that's one of the things where we didn't get to again very shortly he will mention it okay so that is the sword however what about a request right so that's by prayer ah the kasha he Shayla tarkov shall Adam shame surah Euler Mirza we spoke earlier about the Fela being transcendental and having to do with Hashem however right now we're talking about requests or personal needs they seem to be anyway having to do with our needs in this road Dima auto lick cash it and that's going to be similar or compared to what we're going to call a bow which is a half half of a circle Oldham has said live robably oaths hey because the urine hey and that's why I wanted you to look at Isaiah 26 for because it was through the good and the hey that God created the world so it's the hey that created all of my Z and it's the iord that created the Olam haba so since hey is olam Hazare hey is half of the year meaning 10 is your hey is 5 so it's ahead so this Kashyap is half an angle half of a circle which symbolizes om huzzah and basically I can't oh llamas they're never both hey so this road was created with the hey she had Co stood which is half of ten she never about all of my BA which was the iord was used to create the world to come come o shamaton Sol on this verse as the sages mentioned in Isaiah 26 for on that verse which we just read did I cover all those things if you want to go to Jeremiah 47 6 a little bit of the hint there also house word of the Lord how long will you not be silent so again the words Arab lash Emma's use and there's some deep meaning in that verse as well okay so we're going to continue on with the Daniel dot so he says the zipper actually I've already explained this was the after smart God's help in where he discusses a mission in perky I thought about Antigonus events right Yucko he received the traditional Shimon at Sadiq and he used to say do not be a slave okay Altea kavadi Mishima's HaRav a monastic about frost don't be slaves who serve their master for the sake of reward rather Ella how the cod vadouvan sharp Shamus eruption ominous cacao process we Marcia my Malaysian bees rather being slaves who served their master not for the sake of reward but rather and what will be the result and what should be is the fear of heaven should be a pilot based on that he explained that when when if you're trying to get you're making requests and we already mentioned those requests have to do with this world so when you're you're talking about this mission in perky I vote don't be like slaves who serve their master in order to receive the reward that means the reward in this world don't Shu Pross you never but at sea oats should never bowl about that's the prize that was created with the half of the letter meaning that the hey as opposed to the hood the hood was used to create with the world to come therefore the cachaça rhetoric say I am as their therefore the request that one makes for their sustenance in this world is Makana is like a substitute of the name it's a no Nance be shamed cash it as a bow which is a half of a Eagle Eagle like half of a circle that sadiq however listen to what the Sadiq does he's I say hi oh when it's Sadiq not just praise every word that comes out of his mouth every action they does creates forces angels okay we're creating angels government had the broom so to when we make requests when we speak and we're asking a sham from personal requests these are not lost I think they even have these moments the Hubble telescope if these have these these telescopes in space that could pick up radio waves you know the further attic it gets it can go back even in time you could probably hear the World Series of 1932 if there was such a thing on the radio because sound waves never dissipate when we make our request when we open our mouths we're nice to people will Ramin to people those ways are created the energy is created and it doesn't disappear you say okay I don't hear it anymore but there's echoes that go on for all eternity so we have to be really careful you hear what I'm saying we have to be careful about what we say so also from the things that we request there's a type there are types of requests where we make for this world because teens aren't as L Gham came qivana tallish ancient Mayan our requests that we make in this world should be the shame shin myeon right when you're at Sadiq when you're trying to be righteous so what are you requesting food through your table so you can eat and serve Hashem not just to fill your stomach's and have the I don't know the nicest newest foods on the market but in order to give you energy to serve a sham within a mirage share Lacock to me on amore that's why when Jakob said which I took from the hand of the ammonites he was mentioning the high elasticity how did I do it with my prayers of my requests that's how I was able to take it away from them I took from their hand strap but hardly zut Fila so therefore the carrot is referring back to - fela which is more let's say a transcendental and where the request or the physical world nevertheless we should transform our physical requests into something that is called Lache Meechum Mayan and we go back to the ethics of our Father and that's what it means via slaves who serve their master not for the sake of reward meaning not for this earthly reward but for the heavenly reward and the fear of heaven should be upon you in other words to be able to serve Hashem with even more strength okay going back into the clea car I believe that we finished the first line on the second page so based on this idea that the bollocks saw when what did he see I don't know if I made it clear he saw what was written in the books that's what it means he saw what Israel had done not that he turned the page back and he saw what Israel the nation of Israel did to to see home the amorite no he saw in the chronicles what Israel small in number did through his prayer - fela which means that he recognized the power of the Jewish people is in the mouth what we do how we speak okay so he says it all works out well Shabaab Allah kolakozhi our table Morimoto what he saw but balaclavas with all that Israel Saba Yaakov did to the am rights to his prayer the fee should call kolcaba peeve that all of the power was in the mouth alkane estado gum came after watching gum can't conquer both Eve that's why he wanted to get villain the sorcerer who he heard had power in the mouth he wanted to write to curse the Jews he wanted to bring the Jews down and the only power that you could get that might be able to stand the chance is a similar power someone else or some other force that also is power in their mouth because that's where the power of the Jews was and is now we understand why it says the yard Balok it doesn't say bow heard you would have imagined that it should have said embolic heard because I mean he might have been close but he certainly didn't see all that it's rotated to the amorite so we know that he it's because he saw was in the book he called Carosa hey mellow him told him I'll sit for a deer I mean lamothe yonder on for all the Street especially that what Jakob did they were certainly written in the book robbed a Nevada vodka two vials safer he saw with his own eyes what was written in the book the Nick nos murder bill DeVoe and entered fear into his heart saying if that's what happened such a long time ago with such a small tribal family in came also be shelling had cut many yos be awesome awesome inspire Maya so I thought so what do you think's gonna happen now Theo tonin Robert zoom it's gonna happen with so many people now you got to be sitting down when I tell you how many people were in the desert what were you looking at people tell me six hundred thousand Jews right no first of all B'nai Israel there was about three million how if there was six hundred thousand men between the age of 20 and 60 and they all had at least one wine and there were hats at least six children and there were people older than 60 you do the math so there must have been like three million people wait one second we said the word Haram is going to refer to the air of Roth has been consistent right consistency is great the word Haram is not referred to the Jewish people particularly but it's referred to the mixed multitude the Arab Rob according to the myth helter is a mock locust but the minimum amount that the heir of Roth was twice the amount of Jews which means six million there were three million Jews that means there were six millionaire of Rob which means this guy was looking at nine million people in the desert that's what he was looking at okay so let's go on with the next next piece just to reiterate he mentions clearly that's why it only used the word Israel it doesn't use the word B'nai Israel America how in relation to a bollocks saw because what did Biloxi he saw what Israel Sabah did to the em rights but what about the next verse that says Moab was frightened Leah gar he was frightened I knew cloud huh mom we're not talking about a person we're talking about the masses of the Moabites the masses of the people below hit no hit God named Vanessa ivar they did not contemplate they didn't have any understanding about history we're talking about the ignorant masses Callooh y'all do MA who they had no clue Vlado keen minnehonka the only thing they could fear is from what they saw and from their own eyes masha Romania rava sue only thing was what they saw with their own eyes which was a nation that was numerous and strong therefore it said as we mentioned the diversity of our movement may harm Kirov who hiya Mon um shallow of meaning the masses of marv the uranium it may take a look they were afraid of what was in the desert for two different groups of people they saw and I'm gonna tell you now they saw will be clubbin answer hell and they saw the people to call on the people he mentions about these two different groups Lauren Zachary said they were nothing alike Kamath Nia era from Iran and maha-mantra boy you know why did the erev rav they were afraid only because of the mass amount of people because of the sheer quantity now I'm gonna just tell you now when they looked at the Jewish people at the B'nai Israel it was the sheer quality there's a difference you're looking at a group of people and you're intimidated because of the quantity or you're gonna be intimidated because of the quality so when it came to quantity it's the air of Roth and that's why the word fear is used in respect to the the mass amount of people but when it comes to Benes reality as they were disgusted better yet they had dread better yet just go to the original Hebrew want discuss what the word via cots actually means and maybe I'll just give you a little bit hint now so we said that the word coach is like a thorn or better yet a weed thistle thistle okay you go to out to Texas and or they watch these western movies and you have these ghost towns and all you see is the tumbling weeds the the thistles okay they get stuck on some wool on some sheep and you'll have a hard time getting it out okay so it's a real pain so we discuss that now so regarding the fear of MOA was because of the people as we said they had they saw two groups one unlike the other mainly because the air of Rob was so many people and now in the medicine in the hill to which I did bring down and it's right underneath ethics of the fathers is the mistletoes rubbish Mallon partials bow regarding the air of Rob may had the S trim reboiler Ishmael according to rob you smell there was a hundred and twenty again that's ten thousands that's a million two instead of six hundred thousand there was a million two and that million - of course with their wives their children and whatnot because according to the next statement the clear car says key Sunnah and regarding okay Musa the era of raava hi-yah state pommy Meecham rebo right we see that they were twice the amount of six hundred thousand and that's why it says the agarró of moles afraid because of the people because roth hook here ah vous they were so many in quantity cara arab rob Mishima um this is a a clear car of principle the word of the word whenever you see the word the people in the five books and Moses it's talking about the era of Roth or the blue team the most inferior of the Jews kilobit name is shrill hey mother we're not talking about Penang Israel we're talking about the air drop ah we'll soon see what happens to got the nature here Abu QIR ah beam Haim of MS the truth is the air prof was a lot ha what about the nae Israel Shalu Kok Kok Robbie at least in respect to the air Rob they weren't as many right there like 600,000 or was it we knew him the other one were 1.2 million meaning 6 million so what were they afraid of no year a mayhem meets Audra Blaine they were not afraid because the Jewish of the B'nai Israel because of the quantity I'm numb inside out here but from a different aspect I am Mario Ural I am the fear of the Jewish people were upon them you know what it says via COTS write your cards mouth I don't know how you want to translate their cards no out before the Benes your air now if you go to Exodus chapter 1 verse 12 right this is about the Egyptians but as much as they would afflict them so did they multiply the harder you afflict the Jew the more we multiply and so they also gain strength and they were disgusted because of the children of Israel meaning the Egyptians had the same reaction and what why did they have such a reaction of via Cox again what does it mean dreaded disgusted will find that look at Rashi on the next page they were disgusted with their lives meaning this is a psychological thing the Egyptians were disgusted with themselves now I know Rajee brings us down the world via cots it was like we were a thorn in their eyes but I don't think it's a contradiction remember when we had 10 spies we had 12 spies who went into Israel 10 of them came back with we call an evil report okay and they used these words they said we were as grasshoppers in their eyes and so it was what does that mean they imagined themselves as grasshoppers in relation to these people they didn't know was going on in there in the enemies mind but they felt that they were as grasshoppers in their eyes this is called an inferior complex right you heard such a thing okay so not only did the Egyptians have it as we're going to even describe further but the the Bauer but the the Midianites okay the the Moabites with the Moabitess here the nations felt that as well okay so go back to the clear car Shayna Parrish is Joe nossek a closing they don't explain it as we saw the last part in Rashi that we were like actual thorns in their eyes do you can hobble a of America's then if it would have said Vikas Ruben Israel that Israel was prickling them but doesn't say that it says before them in front of them and Allah if Thomas Tamra so the opposite is actually more logical to say that the midstream him shallow aughts mom the Cochin area to the knees round shanem sugar Geffen is the most beautiful thing you've ever been here tonight okay that the Egyptians imagine themselves they compare themselves to weeds to thorns in value in respect to the children of Israel who are compared to healthy juicy grapes okay as we get them as if we now go to sounds chapter 80 I think it's 9 and 10 although I think it's really mostly 10 but let's read both you up rooted a vine from Egypt this King David speaking about God you God you took out this well rooted this well healthy juicy plant called a grape vine from Egypt that's the Jewish people you drove out the nation's and planted it meaning when they come to Israel right you're gonna get rid of the 7 can denied nations and you planted it there you clear the place before it we'll talk about that you you remove the weeds it took root and filled the land so let's go to he bit a little bit a little bit nicer definitely meets ryeom toss to you Tasya so it's to get from Egypt you transport it too garish going in the T tire huh and you got rid of the nation's and planted it penita laFonda ha you clear the space the to shara shara shara and you plan you really embedded the roots the two male artists to Rashi on this verse he went back alluded to the ex out the Romans we're talking about King David in the terms of a future the vine of Israel which you uprooted from Egypt you uprooted from there okay he is uprooted my hope is like a tree you drove out the seven nations and planted Israel in their midst and you cleared before it those dwelling there meaning you got rid of the seven nations that were there before now what we're going to get into is a little bit but the Egyptians were thinking at the time because we're comparing what the Moabites had this disgust or dread based on the same word with the Egyptians what were the Egyptians thinking ready for this based on what we just read in Psalms 80 what is the way of the world so one of our students here has a farm and I asked him what do you do when you want to plant a vineyard in your farm and you come to your your farm and it's ready for planting because there's nothing else there except some weeds you got got to get rid of the weeds they're gonna strangle and not allow your your hard work to develop so the clea car says keepin no action well along the way the world works kabbalah said the Rosalita Karen this sod Emily code seen when the owner of a field he wants to plant a vineyard in his field that happens to be full of weeds as who I care her kites in miniature ish he's got to go after those weeds from their roots get rid of them no martially teams around the holla and get rid of them and tired throw them out could they leta them comom Agatha in order to plant in its place this healthy grapevine are you a midstream um so to that's what the Egyptians were afraid of back in Egypt she's trying unit embarrass Kevin now this is a probably unfortunate but because we're in exile wherever the Jews do they seem to be very successful any nation that ever had Jews always was very successful for a period of time when they got rid of the Jews they usually went downhill so whether just a fact age it was a very prosperous nation and the Jews were unfortunately very in rooted and a healthy way you know and productively I should say honor how healthy and it productively name alumina Eretz now what does that mean they eventually went up from the land as we mentioned us we went up in the land but we're now talking about imagine what the Egyptians were thinking later on in Exodus 1 verse 10 as I mentioned okay you could see it here behold this is what the tyro said to his people behold the people the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we are get ready let us deal shrewdly with them meaning let's work them really hard let let's not allow them to be with their wives meaning if we work them twenty hours a day by the time they get home they're too tired to converse with their wives so they're not gonna have too many children so he says get ready let us deal shrewdly with them lest they increase and a war befall us and they join our enemies and wage war against us so what does it sound like they're afraid that she was gonna be like a fifth column but what happens if they're more numerous and they join the enemy they're gonna end it says and depart from the land so there's a simple meaning right because they the Jews were their slaves so it's a big loss if the Jews depart but that's not shot necessarily look at Rashi and depart from the land against our will meaning they imagined ready that they were the ones that were going to depart like weeds we're the geffen we're the healthy growing very well rooted in the land and they're afraid we're gonna take it over join their enemy and kick them out as let's continue in the Rashi against our will our rabbis however or depicted Pharaoh as a person who curses himself but ascribes his curse to others meaning as if it was written we will depart from the land and they will take possession of it but I want to focus on this concept because even though it's a psychological thing that perhaps even we fall into the pit fall so to speak look at the gomorian so 211 a the verse says is quoting Pharaoh come let us deal wisely with him lest he multiply to come to pass that when there befalls us any war he will also join our enemies and fight against us and get him up out of the land that seems to be the way to interpret the verse didn't work huh comment says you know what what really was meant was and get us up Pharaoh's fear was that the Jewish people would join the enemies of Egypt and drive Pharaoh and the Egyptians out of Egypt rubley Abba Barca Hana says I'm gonna read in Hebrew Qadam she Mikhail at smell is the toilet claw tub of Hebei Roth they're really cursing themselves but they put it on someone else I want you to know how dangerous it is to curse people everything is like a boomerang just get into a try I'm just giving you advice I have to take it for myself okay bless everyone as much as except for evil people right evil people give no you should not bless but for both practical purposes people you basically encounter on a daily basis one evil bless them it's so important because whatever you do is gonna come back if you curse people it's really like cursing yourself and look what happens right they were he was really even thinking that's what he was thinking when he cursed someone else and of course we we we each it became a disaster okay that's like an understatement so I wanted that really to sink in I think it's a very important lesson okay now we're heading for the homestretch here and we're still in the clear car we just got finished the hilum and oh so there is a a verse in in 2nd Samuel 23 verse 6 that uses the word thistles for evil people Louie Alka cows Moo not cool AHA godless men are like windblown thistle so that's how they thread themselves godless men they see the Jews this is I don't want to go too much off-topic but you had a hundred years ago unless Hitler you're moksha now who in his own mind confident own words said we are the barbarians we told me he's talking about himself right that the Jews brought morality into the world and this is just to me enough well my brighter would spoke about this on once on Tuesday night what was vile acts main issue he didn't want Israel to come into the land and we can say this is what the biggest problem with anti-semitism anti-semites they really don't want Israel to exist because this is what Bhau bilham saw in his description this is the messianic figures this is world Redemption this is heaven on earth if the Jewish people come in and live according to the Torah you're basically talking about heaven on earth a utopian society and that's gonna obligate all of us this is what Hitler was facing saying the same thing with Jews in this world they brought morality into the world and it makes me look bad because I'm a barbarian I have no God I don't want to live according to anybody's rules and this is what I'm I like as well they fighting God they're not fighting the Jewish people we just happened to be the ambassador's the emissaries of God in this world so this was like bollocks biggest problem no but the worst thing for him is to bring the Jews into the Land of Israel because then there this was called a reality of a kingdom of God and because right the Shem while I'm as well to say now that with all the Jews coming back to the Land of Israel and slowly but surely the Jews really committing themselves to the God of Israel to the Land of Israel to the Torah of Israel there's a 613 laws as a community of course not everyone is obligated in 613 laws but collectively we are and therefore I need you and you need me and together we can all make one big happy family okay that's gone so we just got done with most Exodus chapter 1 verse 10 and we discuss that fine so what does it mean the ikutsu mithun a B'nai Israel that they were just you were disgusted in front of or because of the children of Israel shaming in our room in our aunts they were afraid they were going to be shaken away from the land they may burn Israel because of the children of Israel geffen who were compared to well rooted fruit trees like to get them and that's why it says by moth okay so that's that one sorry that one was referring to Egypt and they thought they were going to end up leaving Egypt and we were going to stay there the economy maybe nature whereas Mojave is just the same feeling you you're a and they were afraid pay me mo off coat swoosh lock Menards they thought they were gonna end up being removed on land with name in Israel on account of B'nai Israel who are the gap in mid-may hi Gareth and I share he seal he see a shame we miss Ryan God was the one that transported this beautiful fruit tree the grape vine out of Egypt lagares myth nay I'm going to deport I'll use the word that to what's another word expel thank you expel they made the nation's and to plant us there that's why it says B'nai Israel right doesn't say you're out because Israel is referring to Israel Jacob eustress habla our great-great great-grandfather oh that was in the first part of bowel equity so it Israel didn't have rights here with a lot more of is seeing those two groups we already discussed the arm and now we're discussing the value right mom was quantity and they lose quality their value column oh the reason that doesn't see us robbed because these ones no longer around and one of your goal Shama but it's the children they're coming in the lower air broth not the air of Rob they weren't afraid on the air rod for this reason in fact he's going to mention the air valve only came in as Klingons as parasites if that word is still acceptable they came a Goff they came on the backs of the Jews there wasn't anything unique or special about them from all the other seventy nations right other than the fact that they clinged does that a word clung clang if I'm sure none of those words are accurate but they were they they could they hear this is what the words he is ma Guevara dream what was so a strong you know mighty well my guitar on what advantage was there to the error of our Uno's she garish me thing going that the the seven nations left on their account the heat Oh Oh Tom been the Como Kim a gobernador only on account of the Jewish people today how God means on the back of they wrote on our coattails you have a question statement yeah [Music] actually I think there are only 3000 Jews I don't know how many air block as far as I know they all converted as far as I know they all converted and I think we assume they're all married we don't know who they are their only intermarried with us we could assume whoever is the biggest evil leaders of these offshoots I'm going to mention them by name okay but most of the air Rob are just ignorant and and not evil and they're all mixed in we're all into married with them we talked about I asked this question people have asked me this question what about when they went into the land didn't they didn't have the heritage so where did they live so it could be they were so interim intermarried at that point it really at some point became a non-issue if you want to show me that they were wiped out they it disintegrated you know as a people I'd like to see it but my assumption is and we hear through cos now they're still around today so if they're still around today and they are our leaders not our Torah leaders but the leaders of the the secular then then it's trouble quite troublesome but it's it's reality that we have to deal with Shem has to deal with Michele clout to deal with and it's it's not something that we can hide our our head in the sand over but it's not nothing that we can go out and accuse we don't know who anybody is anyway right we don't know who Egyptians are today we don't know a Moloch is today we don't know what tribes most of us are from okay and while we're on the subject I hear over and over and over again and I want to put this make this clear people say oh the Jews today they're not they don't represent Israel they're only from the tribe of Yehuda you yeah and I want to tell you something you couldn't be more wrong first of all we do pray that the ten tribes return we pray that all the Jews who ever been lost to history return but this is the fact during the entire Second Temple period the Israelites were called Jews already Mordecai is can we know it says he's from the tribe of Benjamin and he's called an itchy hoody why are the Jews at some point during the very beginning of the Second Temple called you Dean I'll tell you why because the ten tribes amass basically left although before there was a siege already at least ten percent of the ten tribes was intermarried and lived amongst yahudah in the south and jeremiah brought back another ten percent at least okay you're talking about 20 percent or more plus there was refugees in other words when the attack came on from the Assyrians and it didn't just happen in one day there were people who do a refugee so that could be another time you're talking about almost 40 or 50 percent of the ten tribes and that already is more of them than there is Yuda if you know the numbers because you'd only one try and you have 50% of the other so we aren't missing there's no question we're missing a large amount of Jews we'll call them Israelites for just practical purposes but why we call Jews because our religion our spiritual Constitution requires us to be forever grateful and that's what you Hutu means in other words he's the fourth born from Leia Leia I say this over and over again she expected to only have to be children and her fourth she's Wow I'm gonna call me because I got more than I deserved so a Israelite a Jew is a Jew because not because he's not trying with you who then most likely it's 50% chance he is okay first of all almost all the Libya minister and konima left after what they saw what happened in the north with the the calves and the idols so you're talking about already all the Kony lavigne you're talking about Binyamin you Tom that Shimon or part of the southern kingdom okay so you already have a lot plus 50% of the northern tribes we're also part but also more than that ready for this you're gonna love this before you leave listen to this that King David put this the capital of Israel in Jerusalem in Yehuda so that every one of the ten tribes should say I pledge allegiance to the monarchy of what we call the Mushaf the monarchy of King David I'm AUD III associate I said yes like you could be from a certain state in America you're from Illinois you're from Montana you're from Pennsylvania Jimmy you know whatever Texas but ultimately you're an American so you may be from any one of these other tribes but ultimately you are associating yourself and saying I recognize King David's lineage as the true lineage of Israel therefore I'm associated myself just like more - hi-hi yahoodi who was from the tribe of Benjamin why is he called you do because he physically lived in Yehuda I don't I don't think that's the main reason because it's it's all throughout - not this other places the language we talked it's called you'd eat okay it's called your deeds so I want to dismiss this idea yes we should not dismiss the idea that we're missing and we're lacking Jews meaning again Israelites from any of the tribes we're praying for their return but anybody who returns has to convert according to Rabbi Akiva I'm not saying that he cursed them but he said and it was crazy the divorces he says they're not coming back and there's an argument how can you say they're not coming back that's prophesized he said already happened I'm not going against prophecy it happened with Jeremiah Jeremiah brought ten twenty percent back there were also refugees Kurds Arabic Eva some of or enough of them came back to they're not lost of course rabba Kega the other person the argument said no you know what's gonna happen they're gonna come back we're gonna know they're gonna be back when all the other nations go back to their ancestral homeland then we know that the Jews are also back in their ancestral homeland and there's another opinion who agrees with the last opinion but says only if they do true v''e therefore I'm gonna call out to all my brother and sister who think I don't know they have their proof but if they think that they are they think that they're from the 12 the other 10 tribes well guess what come home all the way we're praying for your return we want you to return but if you think you can hold on to your foreign gods and your foreign culture you're wrong now there are some good things that when we were exiled we have picked out of positive things from the different cultures we were with but it has to conform with Torah if it doesn't conform to the turn that's enough get rid of it okay that's my suggestion and I'll stop my rant there okay so now we're going to the last part where Moe of yeah spoke to the elders of Midian and they said now they're going to lick us up like an ox now the question the clea car poses is what exactly did the Midianites would it what did the what did Moe of C in order to entice Midian to come and join as an ally against this group of people coming in so this is the idea that who sold Israel into Egypt the Midianites right the Ishmaelites the Midianites but there's a clear verse if you go to Genesis 37 verse 36 Muhammad johnniemorrow to laputa far they saw Diaco so there's this collective idea of revenge and so mo of is telling the telling the elders all right of Midian you remember right you guys sold the Jewish people basically you sold Joseph into Egypt they're pissed and they're on the warpath and they're coming back so they're relating a little bit to Pincus so I'm gonna go into this Rashi in numbers 31 6 the question is asked why is Pincus pointed out that he's going to join the army as the cone Mushaf as the anointed Cohen to fight against the the enemy which was meeting at the time so you see numbers 31 6 Pincus is delineated he's pointed out he's also going Moses sent them the thousand from each tribe to the army along with pizzas why look at Rashi them along with Pintas this shows the pitiless was actually equal to all of them why did pin class go so holy one said the one who began the midst of killing Cosme he should finish it ok so then I'm going to go to the other interpretation it says he sought the vengeance of Yosef his maternal grandfather so how do we know that pin sis's mother was descended from Yosef because it says well Aaron right Eleazar the son of Aaron he took one of the daughters of putti oh now who's put TL so pootie L seems to be yes row however it also means the one who was able to overcome overcome his Yates aha Joseph was being pursued by mrs. Polk t far and he overcame his Yates are on it was not not an easy thing for anybody to do but he did and then Gomorrah so SOTA 43 a it mentions it specifically just as want to go through it at the very end he was descended from Yosef who mocked his desire in other words it's pet the word were putting far for I'm sorry for booty L is like a play on the word that he resisted the advantages of Potiphar's wife and you could look at some of these other sources that I put on here now X is at 625 as well and you can see Rachid the ROM bond on that verse okay it's all it's all there so there's a interesting kumara it's in Bubba Basra 109 B so this also describes the same idea who is like like who's strong someone who overcomes the weights around right perky a vote who's the strong person so on page six at the bottom the the Gamora is here in English and did pimp let's not also come from the Austral in other words pimp class comes from jet from Yosef also so what does it mean it wasn't yes Rob or was it Yosef so it says he came from both okay and the reason they're gonna say came from Yosef is because he battled with his desire what I really want to mention here is why did we were really not talking about the children of Yosef that's been a menagerie of Ryan right there well we're saying that cow is going to lick them up so in okay in Genesis 35 11 it's number 14 God said to them I'm the multi God be fruitful multiply this is what we're talking about to Joseph a nation and am sorry this is actually from Yaakov but it's referring to two the two sons of Yosef I'm the multi Almighty God be fruit to multiply a nation and a multitude of nation so come into existence from you so in Hebrew it is going going a nation and a congregation of Nations the word - how is referring to whom look at Rashi God bestowed this blessing upon Jacob because Bingaman had not yet been born well the Rachel is already pregnant with him and Nations what does it mean nations mean onufry were destined to emanate from Yosef who were counted in number of the tribes meaning they're elevated to be as full-fledged twelve tribe members a nation and a multitude of Nations this means that his children destined to be like foreign nations according to the number of the nations who are 70 according to the entire Sanhedrin is made out of 70 members okay and it goes on and on should you should just know that when we talk about the Jewish people we're talking about twelve tribes but we're talking about 70 people went down to Egypt right it started at seven it started as twelve it grew to seventy as we entered Egypt those seventy are parallel to the seventy nations of the world we established the borders what we do what the Jews do what Israel does affects the world I mean you can just see it in the news if you read the news you it's not always good sometimes it's fantastic sometimes we have some good news days and sometimes we have some bad news days so I made a note for myself to make mention what the about the sin at the Golden Calf why was it that the Jews say look in Exodus 32 for these are your God's o Israel who brought you up out of the land of Egypt what was going through their head so if you have your seatbelts and you're gonna listen to this it's like really crazy okay but this should really hopefully drill into you we do not need or should have any intermediaries between us and God I want to drill this in okay when we came out of Egypt we relied on Moses and as an intermediary to a certain extent that was a crutch okay and when he went missing he was late we kind of panicked and I say way it was the era of Rob and we fell for it a certain amount only three thousand of us but it was enough to make all of us guilty what did we do we panicked to submit a leader how can we deal with the chef directly we had Moses the whole time right now Moses was gone he's late so why a calf so the calf is relating to this idea of of Yosef how how does it how is it no it's just what you'd remember the last verse we dealt with was now they're gonna lick us off the congregation is gonna lick us up like an ox right all the surroundings kill folk how sure because the the clear car says the cows did B'nai Yosef the horse sure the firstborn ox so if you recall what happened when we left Egypt even though on the ninth plague the plague of darkness the Jews were asked to go and see where the gold was of the Egyptian neighbors so that when they left on the flake they would know where things are quickly be able to leave so what happens during this 10th plague everyone goes to their neighbours the men went to the men the women went to the women and they said we want your gold what can they say they were they already knew where it was couldn't say we don't have it so where was Moses Moses went around looking for gold no you know where Moses went Moses went to the Nile River and use the hood and the hay and the love and the hay this word of God as we start off discussing the magical name and he was able to bring up out of the Nile the bones of Yosef and it was on account of Yosef bone in the era that was inscribed on it right as if it was inscribed with the 10 the 10 commandments we're talking about Yosef who fled away from this Potiphar's wife it was in his merit that the water split the water ran away as we say in Psalms on Rosh Chodesh right we talked about this right and you could see it now in this Rashi here on this verse so Yosef made his own children and brothers swear that the Jewish people will not leave they won't leave Egypt without his bones so on one hand we have Moshe the reason we left Egypt because of the the leadership of Moshe there's no doubt you couldn't deny that they believed in Moses but Moses now is late he's gone where who how how did we get out of Egypt that must have been Yosef if Moshe is gone and we thought we left with his power now that he's gone I wonder what maybe not maybe was Yosef we're always looking for somebody we have to stop look we have to go for God man God wants that direct relation with us yes we can use people we can use role models right but we don't go through anybody to get to God okay whenever what to hear that without it clear this was the mistake and I'm saying right now Christians are building their own golden calf by believing in the JC guy that's the golden calf okay so you know you heard it from me God wants that direct relationship but I'll tell you this much if you need an intermediary the best way to go is to the Jewish people okay that is how it's gonna work this is no way around it and why do I say that because we are the transmitters so in other words don't use us as a god god forbid but use this as a tool okay as an intermediary to get your relationship with God okay so I do want you to read the rashes on this verse in Ex is 32 for that the fashion did with an engraving tool so you see already on the on the on the Golden Calf there was something that was written Moulton I want to go to that thing last these are your gods but doesn't say these are our gods from here we learn the mixed multitude who had come up from Egypt were the ones who gathered against Aaron and they were the ones who made it afterwards they caused the Israelites to stray after it it wasn't the Jews who are really guilty guilty guilty but they allowed it to to exist go back to where it says molten calf as soon as they have cast it in the fire of the crucible the sorcerers of the mixed multitude who was going out with them from Egypt came and made it with sorcery others say that Mila was there who had a merchant lay of the building where he had been crushed in Egypt in his hand was a plate upon which motions had inscribed a send box ascends or ox just imagine this this is what's written on the golden calf which is what Moses used to bring up Yosef coffin out of the Nile so now it's full circle comes together they cast that plate into crucible and the calf emerged I hope that some of the lessons I hope some of the lessons here we could take in other words the power of prayer the power of our words the the I'm gonna call it the superiority of the Jewish people mean the quality that we should live up to the quality okay just because we're Jewish doesn't mean anything we have to live up to it to work hard so it's work okay and and that we should not use em to any intermediaries in order to have our relationship with a Shem it should be as close and have it to Vegas a real true clinging of course we can use and we should use role models to get there but don't stop there okay and I bless you all [Music]
