Shnayim Yomi - Bamidbar - Sheni - #2- Rabbi Yaakov Moskowitz

[Music] parasidar sheni the aliyah opens up with numerous pukim telling us the exact count of every single shaveet and after it's finished it finally tells us that the total number was 603,550 now what's interesting is that that is excluding shvet ley they were not included in the census and rashi tells us the reason why was Because since they did not get involved in the sin of the iglaz, hashem wanted them to have a separate count to not be included in uh in this count. And then theim go on to tell us the uniqueness and the specialness of shvet ley that they are to be involved specifically with the mishkun. They're the ones who need to take care of the kaleim of the mishkun. They're the ones who need to take down the Mishkun when they travel and when they uh and when they arrive at their new destination to put the Mishkun back up. And the aliyah concludes by telling us that it's only the Levim who are to be involved in this sacred task with the Mishkun. It says that anyone who is not from Shet Levy who approaches the uh the Mishkun is going to be put to death. Rashi tells us that that will take place. I am himself will put this individual to death. And the PK says something unique. It says that there shouldn't be any anger on the congregation of Ben Israel. And Rashi tells us that Hashem is telling us something very specific that if we stick to this and if we make sure that nobody who is a Zar, nobody who is not supposed to come close to the Mishkan actually comes close to the Mishkan, then there will be no anger against Kalisrael. But unlike what happened in the circumstance of Korak where unfortunately in that incident there was tremendous anger that came out against Kalisrael. [Music]
