Weekly Torah Portion Toldot Part 1 according to the Kli Yakar Genesis 25:19 pt 2 5776

good evening everybody I'm just going to ask once again to please hold off on the questions until the very end tonight we're doing parsha's todos according to the clear card that's chapter 25 in Genesis verse 19. I just want to remind everybody this is he's very poetic he's an artist it's like a painting that he picked that he paints and it's beyond he's beyond words but we're going to do the best we can to describe to expound to extrapolate exactly what he's saying so it's clear to everybody so this is again Genesis chapter 21st 25 verse 19. I'll read it in English first then I'll translate into Hebrew and these are The Offspring of Isaac son of Abraham comma Abraham begot Isaac the Ayla told us yes so what jumps out first of all these are The Offspring this is The Offspring of Isaac the son of avraham so then it tells me that Yitzhak is the son of avraham I don't get it so he starts off right away I'll tell you what he's pointing out it does say yitak is the son Ben avraham where earlier on it says I'm sorry then later on it says that avram-halid holid is to sire to to Seer to give birth to to be God avraham be God Isaac right he gave birth to Isaac but early on it says the yitza is the son of avraham but there's two words one is Ben son of avraham and the other one is avraham gave birth he caused as we'll see he caused yitzhak's birth but we'll see in a second what he's talking about even though it said Yitzhak is the son of avraham nevertheless are still the first part of the verse had to tell me Abram holy that Abraham begot why why why do I need to know that the vision Mr if you open up to verse 12 this would be in the same chapter 25 just since the last week's Parsha okay these are the descendants of Ishmael avraham's son whom Hagar the Egyptian Sarah's maidservant vort avraham so let's go through the verse it says Ben avraham we're talking about the Ishmael the fish in them are by Ishmael since it said regarding Ishmael he's who he's the Ben Abraham he's the son of avraham which what I share Yoda which begot which gave birth to whom Hagar his mother the Egyptian so what do we notice right away first of all in our verse that we're dealing with it was avraham who gave birth to Yitzhak but when it comes to Ishmael it's Hagar the Egyptian gave birth to Ishmael very strange why is there such a major difference between the two characters here of Yitzhak and Ishmael hurray his care Russian Bane and so avraham he's just pointing it out what we just described behold it's mention the language of sun regarding you know Utah's relationship to avraham but sorry we're talking about Ishmael sorry so when it comes to Ishmael he's a bed in regard to avraham but when it comes to the tolada to the giving birth it's somehow it's dependent on Hagar Abraham so what we're required to say what we need to say here is the description of Ben I'm talking about our verse now about Yitzhak the Ben part the son of as well as that which gave birth everything relates after avraham why is that first of Allah Ivory when we understand the language the Hebrew language and how it works there's a difference there's a clear difference they are two different words one is Bane son of and the other one is gave birth to okay hold on I have to sneeze uh he Lush and Bane yeah the truth of the matter is even the language of Bane son of has been said it should be said several times throughout the Torah without necessarily being the the natural birthing parent meaning neither the father nor mother biologically because students people who learn from somebody somebody makes their themselves this person as a mentor so that person is considered a son compared to the mentor in relation to the mentor for students or called children even though they were not birthed or biologically offspring come on there's a few different examples here by Moshe if you look in Exodus chapter 2 verse 10 it says that Bhatia took him meaning Moshe as a son and also by Esther it says Mordechai took her as a daughter sure she was an orphan she her parents had died and avraham is also called I'm from nikra if you look in Chapter 19 Verse 5 in Genesis he's called he's the father of a multitude of Nations and he's called the father Alpha peace even if he didn't give birth to them es there's also a difference a clear difference between somebody who was taught he taught him and someone who he gave birth to in actuality there's a big difference and what is the difference just like when a man he accepts the nature of his teacher from the person he learns from so he's learning it he's absorbing it but it's not really his Essence he accepted it and he's living that lifestyle that which he learned he put into practice and those circumstances that he learned can certainly be changed quite easily based on the person receiving it there's all different types of students you can ask them maybe they all heard different things and they put into practice what they heard but they're all practicing what they think they heard but either way it can be changed based on the person on the receiving end because but when it comes to what a person accepts naturally through his DNA through his birthing parent zobatsum that is who he is it's going to be very hard to change as he will now describe so poetically it will not change if he leaves it alone exactly as he received it naturally if he's not acting in any way to uproot it to try to make any effect right and he becomes accustomed and where at least Hebrew brings on new habits only if he brings on new habits is he able to change that nature into what we call second nature where then he'll do it let's say not subconsciously but less consciously once she adopts it on a more constant or habitual manner that's all if he just leaves it alone though but it's but going back to the type of nature that one learns that can be ishtana banakel that can be changed easier I'm using the word easier in relation to that which you have received from your your biological parents that's more that's more difficult to change there's more challenges involved in trying to change that kind of behavior whereas learned learned a behavior can be unlearned so to speak that's why we see Moshe himself saying in numbers 11 verse 12 he says am I the one who carried or conceived this people am I the one who gave birth to them even remember he was a teacher and the the Jewish people were acting let's say not so perfect and God had some complaints his response to God is basically yeah even though they're my students the tamidime and it's true that students are called Sons but you know I was not the one who gave birth to them in actuality um but it's I'm I'm guilty I'm I I'm the cause that their actions went then changed from good to bad and whatever they scheme up hey God it's not for me it's not from my DNA love me many it's not for me that this matter came forth in Cain Lamaze if that's the case why are why is this being placed all these troubles on me as if I'm guilty and everything is dependent on me and what I did and furthermore if you look over in again shmos in I'm sorry in by mid bar in numbers number three chapter three verse 1. where it describes these are The Offspring we are sons of our emotion but it's only referring to Nada view which are Aaron's sons so you may say that means also the birthing well the truth is like this because it was certainly referring to Nada which are in sons was used because Aaron was mentioned not on account of Moshe so that just clarifies that question if you would have brought that up that's why when it comes to Ishmael he is only called a Ben when it comes to avraham kilo kibel TiVo zulatma avram because he did not receive anything natural meaning the DNA so to speak the the character traits that would normally be inherited except for what avraham taught him through his good actions and that just happened to him circumstantially and that could be easily changed which obviously was hurray the Soviet because we know that in the end not the very end of his life but towards the beginning of his life that he would eventually go out to do what they call Targus ra very negative behaviors and actions the fikov Tola Tola Dabba Hagar that's why when it comes to the birthing so to speak that was all dependent on haggarh because that's where he received the natural tendencies which he that he received from his birthing mother Hagar which the verse so clearly describes and what is it about a mystery an Egyptian the midstream what they are is let me translate this that Midstream are licentious they're very promiscuous sexually alkane hayegam who is therefore this person Ishmael went out and he gained with illicit sexual relations and that was not easily changed because that's what he received naturally from his mother's side therefore all the things that he learned the Mitra advises because of the the circumstances that he learned through avraham but the essence the real true who sense of who he was that was from Hagar of a Yitzhak on the other hand however yitzhakram he received the net the nature of avrahamasov well not just that we you also learned from Abraham's good actions of King Tullahoma that's why both languages are used when referring to his relationship with avrah meaning both as our verse says avraham and Lush and Ben also Halid holido the alkane Ishmael however that was not the case by Ishmael that he was gaming with illicit with sexual relations even while he was young in his youth at the verse he says just like it's written in the verse if you look at the verse 21 chapter 20 verse 21 verse 12 avraham was distressed over the behavior of the youth so we see that he was already acting up and what does our verse reveal to us regarding Yitzhak it tells us directly that he received the nature of his father entirely both naturally as we'll call it nurtured and nature nurtured and nurtured both the natural course as well as the nurtured course he kept himself pure from illicit sexual relationships he kept himself guarded so much so that he even conquered his Wellspring we're talking about his sexual organs and the sexual um lusts Yitzhak did not get married until he was 40 years old and he waited he waited and he waited until he found his soulmate Rifka LaRosa he certainly did not want to get married with any of the local gals any of the Canon Canaanites she is well who are the Canaanites they're from Hamas Noah had three sons was one of them so they the Egyptians and the canaanim all received from Ham they received or inherited the the polluted Zima the um the character trait of lit of sexual impurities from Ham their father what do we know about Khan he did a disgusting act to knock his father whether it was to sodomize or castrate this amok Locus alkane hutsrock that's why we see that yitza who waited he needed to wait till he was 40 years old for that there was no doubt about this that the the girls were fighting over him he was a one he was a unique kind of guy who was already 40 years old and not married and pure and righteous and probably handsome and the girls wanted him the big question is how was he able to dwell how was able to live with himself without a woman for such a great a long amount of time in a time she is karnu certainly for the reasons we mentioned above that he took on the traits of avraham and he was guarded now in order that these people who might claim will call them our detractors people who make fun of the Torah and the word of God and they come and they'll complain and they'll come and say yeah right if Yitzhak was born with so much Holiness and Purity how is it that Asaf we all know the character of Asa wasn't much different than Ishmael but he was a pretty bad character if ASAP comes out from yitza is what kind of Acts did ASAP do he would entice he would seduce he would capture perhaps even rape women who were married right in front of their husbandsara so this is what they would say they would say this guy he's not avraham's son at all in fact you're right just before we got into this Porsche that sorrow was secluded without him Alex so Ah that's where she must have gotten pregnant is what they're saying so when you saw ASAP and Jacob and people were looking at avram's grandsons they're thinking around is not the father at all you know what happened Avi Malik is really the grandfather and one of them are following the nature of Sarah and the other one is following the nature of Avi Malik that's why it says 87 side eight Tsar that God made a miracle and he made yitzhak's face appear exactly like a twin he made it look exactly like the face of avron he named the field arcano this explains according to what we've already said in order to remove these thoughts these mistaken thoughts from these people that might come to complain are detractors by saying the plastic says right ready for this this is in though I don't have the verse in front of me we're talking about like the history here is we're going to take a little bit of a Liberty he's going to take a little bit of Liberty to explain these words uh maybe in the next paragraph okay first of Allah it says most Sons followed the character trick character traits of their mother's brother meaning their Uncle their maternal uncle foreign Hunter so that verse just explains at least how you can answer off these people that want to say that it's not from we say no it came from rifk aside in terms of ASAP now at a quick glance it seems that the dimensions all three of them we're talking about the verse we just mentioned the sister of Lavon the aramir so why did it mention these three people the tariates or these three concepts okay it says we're going to discuss it right now all right we had um foreign to answer up what we find regarding three very nag not just negative very inferior and lowly character character traits that we find by Aesop may I and makoram where um what is their source and from the very fact that he would entice and seduce and perhaps even rape women in front of their husbands remember we talked in the verse that he that Rift is the daughter of the soul the word first of all he's the Avi emo he is the father of Rifka or in this case of Asa sure check on the word that he would bow out that he would be intimate with all of the virgins betul Betula is a virgin that he would be with them first just like the ways of generals in the past and Romans and those unsavory guys and this is brought down in the majors and when Asaf says to Jacob when he's really hungry and he wants to eat right now and he's willing to sell his Birthright he says holy no pour into me quickly now that he was amongst those gluttonous people who ate and drank in a overbearing way amid the zoo yerusha love me this character tray was inherited from the aspect from the side of his family it was mother's side who came from a place called padan Aram it says over there avraham didn't want really any place of this any part of this place so it says over there when at the time when avraham transversed the area called Aramaic he saw that they were eating and drinking gluttonously and he said I don't really want any part of this place because of the people um and also got to realize ASAP was also a trickster Aviv he would trick his father how he treats his father he used to ask his father how do you tithe salt or how do you tithe hey things that don't require tithing at all but he certainly made himself look as righteous as possible yirushman love on a rummy he inherited that from his uncle love on my he was such a low-life as we well known okay we're going to go just a little bit further avraham holy that's it so we already said avraham is the one who let me just open the verse I have it open here yet here we are avraham be God Isaac holy Russian hip field it's causative it's avraham caused the birth of yitza even though the language is very exacting because it's it's it's the male that causes whether or not you're gonna have a male or a female in this case whether it's a family even female or not become a calm government well we still find the word yolad also Bible as well camo like it says in Genesis 10 verse 15 cannot be got zaiden and so many places in Persia's North you see this male begot this male this male be got that male Rob Khan holy we want to know why here the language holied as in causative Ella Lamar it wants to teach usera it was avraham that was the cause or the one that caused for Yitzhak to have many sons and many much progeny but we're talking about his future progeny being the 12 tribes and all the rest of Jewish people the fish and Mr as we see in the verses that deal with yitzath praying remember Rifka was Barren it says Vietnam Isaac prayed or entreated to Hashem and then it says Hashem allowed himself to be entreated but it says by him Hashem allowed himself to be entreated by him that infers that his prayers were answered and God heard his prayers you cannot compare the prayers can I compare the prayers of a righteous person who is the son of a righteous person as opposed to the prayers of a person who may be righteous but their parents are not the fees acquainted is from this aspect that um that Yitzhak was the son a righteous son of a righteous person such as avraham therefore he was standing on or was established for him and it was the emerit of avram Hashem because of avraham that God heard his prayer so we see when it says that it was over it was around that caused the birth of Yitzhak even the word holid means progeny and the fruits therea of we're talking about all the fruits that came down through Yitzhak came on account of or in the Merit of avraham the Sadiq because it's been Sadiq the son of a righteous person his prayers would be answered more easily than someone else if he says and according to this it certainly works out well when we say avraham holy that it was avraham that caused the birth of yes yet it was still not explained how exactly avram was able to cause this that's why the next reverse is describe this prayer the Yates that gets off prayed to Hashem in the presence or opposite of his wife why did you have to mention that because he was able to take as proof as ariah's proof on what it was said that avraham is the one that caused Yitzhak to have and produce seed and since itsak knew that he prayed very hard okay I wish everyone a good Shabbos and for those that are listening to this I hope I could could have mention this in the beginning to the right of the to the right of the link for the audio are and should be Source sheets enjoy okay any questions
