Let's look at this. Let's see the
magnitude of your single sin, not even
the previous incarnation, not even your
entire life, a single act that you did,
and compare it to what punishment that
you're getting. And of course, everybody
that has read the Midrash or has read
the a commentary on Exodus and what
happened beforehand and so on, you know
that Job was one of the three generals
of Pharaoh. One of the three generals of
Pharaoh when Pharaoh asked,
"What should we do with these
Israelites?" Avani Tchak Malach, "Let's
fool them. Let's fool these these
these Israelites. What you know, what
what should we do? How? Who? What?
When?" How did you arrive at this
conclusion of fooling the Jewish people?
Why didn't you just say, "Let's leave
them alone?" Because he had three
generals. One general, he asked him,
"What should we do?" That general was
Yitro. Yitro said, "Leave them alone.
They're good people. They helped build
this country." Pharaoh didn't like that
advice, and Yitro had to run away. For
that, Yitro merited becoming a Jew, and
his children became Jews, righteous Jews
that
got to a point when they arrived at
Midbar Yehuda,
the Judah desert,
the desert of Judah, they actually
learned Torah from the Chachamim and got
to Ruach Hakodesh, each and every single
one of them.
We're talking about tens of thousands of
people that Yitro brought to Midbar
Yehuda and learned Torah. They didn't
even know Aleph Bet, but they knew that
they feared Hashem. That was enough to
teach them the rest of the Torah and get
them to a level where they got to
literally Ruach Hakodesh.
On the other hand, you also had Bilam
Harasha, Bilam the wicked.
He said, "Let's torture these Jews.
Let's enslave them." and so on. For
that, he got killed by Pinchas. Pinchas
ben Elazar ben Aaron Hakohen, who
eventually becomes Eliyahu Hanavi,
killed Bilam Harasha, and he lost his
eternity as the Gemara in Masechet
Sanhedrin says, "He has no share of the
world to come." Despite being a prophet,
despite speaking to Hashem, he is in the
seventh level of Gehennom and will never
come out. The most wicked person on
Earth, that's Bilam. Now, the third
person was Job. Job was a righteous
person. He's a righteous Noachide, but
Job was afraid to talk. And because he
didn't talk, the weights were equal. One
says, "Jews are good. Israelites are
good." The other one says, "Bad." So,
the the the tiebreaker was
was Job. Since Job chose to keep his
mouth quiet,
what happened?
Pharaoh decided, "Let's go with Bilam."
because Pharaoh himself was a wicked
person. So, of course, he's going to
lean towards the wicked side naturally.
And for that, Job that stayed quiet got
all of the torture that he got, the
entire book of Job for anyone that wants
to
