Sefer Yona: Chapter 3 - The Malbim Uncovers if Yona Took Advantage of His 2nd Chance

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com and we're learning safe for Joyner in preparation for the Young hakadosh the holy day available we are we are holding a paragimal Yana has now emerged from after being thrown off the boat and going into the water and almost drowning and after being smiled by the male fish and then he was spat out to the bottoms of the ocean and swallowed by the female fish and he took a tour of the ocean well now the female fish up spat yelling out because I'll say it's fat amount 965 parsa the gamatria um is 965. okay so that Perico and it was the word of the Lord toyona a second time saying get up go to ninvee foreign that I am speaking to you there are two differences between this these instructions and the ones in park aleph and peric aleph Hashem just says call out to it in general but didn't give him Specific Instructions that's why Yana felt he could run away because he hadn't been given a specific nivoy yet also the first time it says he also wrote their evil has risen up before me that implies God had made an evaluation that their evil was bad but had not yet formed the igazardin now it just says go tell them as follows because now there is a gazarden as we're going to see in possible Jonah tells him oh he eat our boys well take a look at the Melbourne plastic Bays come Lake the tamazois this time for next time by the way if anybody wants um Malvern I have a sheets if anybody needs a booklet um the Melbourne were in Paris gimmo plastic Rays this time the din had already been sealed it doesn't say he also wrote some La funai their evil has risen up before me rock he just sent them in a matter of Pro in a manner of prophecya di Elohim that he should let them know it's such an example what was decreed upon them that would be overturned in 40 days like the word of Hashem ninvee was a great City to God he's gonna he's gonna destroy it what they weren't yet told to do Cuba how could they call it the egadola Kim so then David says the way of sukim if it wants to sort of exaggerate something so we would say it was it was um it stunk to the High Heavens you know right what do the High Heavens got to do with it you're telling me the euromo went all the way up to the High Heavens no it's just a way of saying it really smelled bad or in other languages there are there are ways of exaggerating something to make a point well in Tanakh when you want to say something was extreme you invoke the name of Hashem so over here is a big city you know big Layla Kim okay that's what the intuition says so uh the album says the first time Hashem told yayna to rebuke them that they should do chuba this time the instructions were just let them know what the garden is and higher suffix it was a suffix to him if there would be mikaim Gama Di burgarishine the idealism ah you only had the following suffix this time Hashem just said tell them about the decree so now you only wanted to was thinking well I never told them the first thing I was supposed to tell them that was they need to do two but otherwise so and so will happen so you understand maybe I should tell them this now that there's exardin and maybe I should also tell them the original message that if they do chuvas but you know decided not to it's like the word of the Lord now but not like what Hashem told him the first time oh yes the ideal of him it explains that now he was only reading he's only proclaiming the word of Hashem that he spoke to him now after he told them and that the first Deborah was off in other words made the following decision that look this time God didn't tell me to rebuke them he just told me to tell them then probably even if they do chewba it would not help but here's where you see the goddess of them album why is this the first time the pasok ever makes note of the fact that ninvee was a great City to the god this is not the first time we're talking about an inve here I mean Jonah was instructed in paragalis you know to go tell him to do too Why didn't it say there of an invite Jose like him what that these words of the navi are addressing Yana and sanyana made a mistake no ninvee is very dear to God and really God wants that they should do too and if they do too but it will help so Yana is mistaken like him well so first time album says like David this is Sian that it connects it and Associates it with God I'm gonna make God love because of its size to my Harare kale Harare the mountains of God which ones which mountains are the mountains of God the Catskills why are they called the mountains of God it just means they're big mountains or shalhaves in the flame of God it's not the flame of God it's just a very hot flame the meaning here is it was very important in the eyes of God is not to destroy it okay oh excuse me yup the posix said it's a mahalak of what does that mean normally you would say three days to get there right there three days to get there or it's a it's a city that's so big it takes three days to walk through or to travel through when you usually you said that about I mean if a person walks three miles an hour on the average and if it was 12 no maybe not Mahala doesn't necessarily mean to walk maybe it means to travel it's in other words a very big city any City there would have been more than 108 miles why we wanted cities today though like that can you imagine ninvee was a tremendous City and envy was the capital of Ashland why 108 well if you feel a person goes three three miles an hour maybe it walks 12 hours 36 miles times three is 108 miles it's a big city okay let's see here you know waited to come to the city a one-day travel he called out and he said in 40 days will be overturned so what does it mean yeah I know waited what did he wait for [Applause] him I don't know Rashi says means so the question is but it didn't say it because napakas could mean two things it could mean it literally overturned or it could mean turn over in other words turned over from bad to good if they do chuva and therefore Jonah was given this message which could be interpreted in a way that if the people in May do tuba they will be spiritually overturned what does it mean Yana waited kind of waiting why did he wait so the ebenezero says what does it mean a three-day travel if you know pie so what's the circumference of a circle 3.14157 times what the pi is 3.14 or something whatever what's pi 3.15 roughly 3.15 so how do what's the circumference of a circle no no five times it is so when we say that it was a three-day travel means around but the diameter was only one we'll keep in Tanakh Pi is three and it doesn't mean they didn't know Pi but there are reasons for that just to keep things simple we'll round it off people speak unfortunately right so three people speak approximately right so a three-day travel perimeter of the circle is really basically a one day travel right through so that's what I mean you want to know how's the past such a big city around the city so that means well one day a one day travel how much could a person travel in a day um maybe 10 parasail about 40 miles I think we say about 40 miles 10 times okay so what does it mean yeah I know waited one day how did he wait one day so the maldum explains that yeah when do the 40 days start when does the shot clock start Ed it's a three-day distance in the city if he's going to say right away in 40 days and this is going to be destroyed the people two days in are not gonna get the message till two days later and then when they're destroyed they say hey God is not telling the truth it was two days early it's 38 days so but yeah on the first day the people who are on the edge will start counting by ocean would say How Shining the people on the other Edge yeshi so therefore he basically he he took the average he waited a day and after a day he made the announcement he went one day the karabie because maybe you should have waited till like midday on the second day oh you wait till the second thing about Romeo why not closer meal why not 10 days 40 days that's what God told him right but why did God tell him look we know this money of chuvas 40 days from so apparently and we're going to see an interesting Camacho that the album has up his sleeves because ultimately the uh the invade was not destroyed in 40 days so he waited until the second day besides today foreign either it will be overturned in its actions oi should be really overturned an earthquake or here are like 40 years plus the word 80 what's 40 and 80 120 and then exactly 120 years ninvee was destroyed right we actually had this on the sheet on Friday because but the Melbourne wrote elsewhere that these con these Runners don't work out and the problems of the opinion that they don't need to work out because the navi said and then they will be overturned the words of a navi when they are predicting Ira do not have to come true when enough he predicts ra they don't have to come to be their only condition they're conditional if the if the people don't do tuba you don't need this the promises of God are stipulations I you may ask why didn't Yana spell out the condition then they will be destroyed if they don't do true we already know this was bomb the fact that a prophet was sent to warn them if this was an absolute because this did not have to be sent through a navi shulach a navi is only sent rakulah to cause the people to do chuva uh so I would say well wait a second the fact that Navi was sent to tell them to do chuba that was before the gazaar then so maybe only before the exact then they kaduchova but but now that yon is being sent to tell them that there's zigzag din how do they know that they could do chuba if you say well everybody knows you could always do chuva fine but the malam was saying from the fact that yoino was sent to tell them to do chuba that must mean they could do chuba but that mission that that schlichus was only before the Zar then hard to understand if Amazon came really yoina should have done this to tell them that they could do chuva Shekinah kaladvaram he didn't fulfill everything he only proclaimed the decree that came to him the Deborah hashemi in the second ah really Yana should have told them the second time by the way here's xaradin but you could do chuva why didn't you want to tell them that he's sort of holding on to his original mistake what was his original mistake original mistake was he didn't want them to do chill because make us look bad so even now that he's going but he's going begrudgingly so he's just telling them look you guys are dead and he's not telling them you could do two of them that would be contrary to what our college sport was telling you know well this time technically God didn't tell them didn't tell him to tell them to do chuva he just he just told him to tell them that there's eggs are then so yen is like okay fine if I have to go then I'll go and I'll just do what Hashem is telling me now and I'm not gonna tell them I'm not gonna tell them that they have the opportunity to do chuva but the the navi calls us speaking to you now but it didn't say what he said so you know given though the youngest history we're not sure that he's actually uh verbalizing what a cottage Parkman told them because we don't have clear what our Carter Sparkle said well we're assuming we're assuming that since he's not being punished and he's not being you know drowned or eaten up by fish he's sort of doing what Hashem is telling him but according to the mountain he's doing it very literally he's trying to Potter himself um from trying to inspire them to do chuva now if you're going to say the mama says like that by Vanilla that in fact the xero was in the sky ultimately foreign in the year teslav of kiskiyahu which was 40 years after and it's in other words the album is now placing the timeline that if in fact ninvee was destroyed it would have to Yana would have had a prophecy in the times of Menachem okay so what happens the men of an Envy believe in God they proclaim the fast they put on sackcloth because from Big to small amazingly look in them albums they believed right away they didn't say who are you what do you mean God's Gonna destroy look at this city look how we're operating they heard about his story with the whale they believed him ice I might Fest they didn't ask for a sign but take of his skill but feel like they shall love shusakim they put on the cycles there are in other words they began fasting and having humility but they didn't do tuba why not because they weren't told to do chuva you never told them to do chuma and that's a fat how could you eat when you're when you're about to die in other words it's like at least it's a sign of humility but not a sign of repentance ah better not only did they not do chuba because again tell them to do tuba they didn't even know they sinned they just get a message from The Prophet by the way all right pack up you're gonna die in 40 days you're good guys God loves you he told me you're good the thing is you guys are dead yeah this morning we're talking about the Bays with the bar and the book right yeah isn't it strange Balo Kim Kim Balo Kim where does the bay come from what the kind of uh uh they look him I don't know if I've ever saw below Kim bear elokin so the target says be like him means like this in the word of God the name not in God himself that goes with that saying they they in other words they accept the word of Hashem so what happens the matter reached the king of by Jacob so he gets up off his throne by yavir adartama he removes his cloak he covers himself in sack thy yes and he sat on ashes says Rashi adart His Garment of Honor says um reached foreign thank you he was Messiah he humbled himself by getting off his throne and taking off his mantle and instead of his aderis he put on sack and instead of his throne he sat on the Aether in other words these two items of mourning were Replacements as a replacement for his aderas his cloak he put on sack and Replacements of his throne he sat on the ashes foreign and they promulgated they called outman they said in Envy Town by the Council of the king and his officers Lamar saying the havahama man an animal cattle and sheep don't taste anything do not great let them graze um do not drink water love this this message was promulgated from the Council of the king says aside from the King showing humility by getting off the throne and taking off his Royal clothing he they cried out yet first of all why do we break up what does it means that are found in man's house domesticated animals they can't eat anything so you read it like this [Music] in the fields and all of them used to so he's like breaking it up talk about sign algero and nobody could drink water the iskasu sakim and they should be covered in sadcloth Ians the man the havahama and the Animals Hashem with Force what does that mean to cover with Force each man should return from his bad ways and from the treasury what does this mean sarashi says an incredible fact is they tied up they gathered the mothers separately and the children separately and they basically said we're gonna take away the children from their mothers they they were like trying to twist God's arm God if you don't have mercy on us we're not gonna have mercy on them and hashem's looking down from shiny he sees the screaming babies crying for their mothers and the mothers crying for their children it was a way of evoking emotion as a way of of bringing Out the Feeling and trying to elicit that's the way around she learns that the vehicle like they cried out Hashem with strength system album even with the covering of the Cyclone they included the animals and they added Fila Elohim and now they added shuva now why they decided to do chuva here nobody told them to do chuva the mama said she was Hamas Hamas is stealing terrorist organizations don't help for for stealing unless you return it so now they're returning it whoever knows [Applause] and turn back from his Fierce anger villain no evade so we will not be destroyed this is the message of the King this is part of the Proclamation that everybody should be covered in sadcloth and everyone should do chuva and this is a way that you guys you would think the king would be the last one to see the light because maybe he's going to lose something people that's a pretty remarkable change in him says thank you that what does it mean um says even if someone stole a beam and built it into his building they would tear down the whole building and to return the beam means even what they already had some safer ass of course you have to do that if you steal a beam of course you have to tear now he said well not true the gemara gets in says there's a mishna that that they were masaki and takana to make it easier to do chuva to have someone steals a beam and builds it into a building they could pay for the value of the meaning they don't have to tear it down but if some say for us yeah but that takana was immediat for Carlisle so why would why would the people in Maine need to do any less so some server also asks why does it say um it's not literally Hamas Hamas is when you steal something and you pay you you take selling by force and you pay for it it should say oyshack and what does it means so the thumb Cipher explains based on the ramban in the beginning of paraglulophagazo that even though made a takana that you acquire the wood and you could just pay for it but since the biolum did not sell it willingly it's still Hamas so some surface is like this even though they did not yet make the Tacoma for the ancient ninbei but it was included in the yeshuva Ishmael meaning each man of ninvee did Shiva from his bad way and he went in the good way Within so mamela whatever was stolen the owners accepted payment in lieu of returning the item in other words Avada Avada the men of ninvee were required to return the beams because the takan of the shavim had not been instituted yet but part of them returning from dark was that the ones who had it stolen from accept the value they accepted the value back but still even though they accepted it the Godzilla but but if they would have done that it would have still it would have been Hamas because basically they're paying for something and they're basically uh keeping the item and paying for it so therefore that even though the owner was uh Michael and allowed them to give the money but they didn't want to keep it because they were afraid this would have been considered Hamas okay interesting shout out because I'm Cypher okay so we still don't understand why do they decide to do Cuba especially according to them album nobody told them to do true but like what gave them this Eureka moment that all of a sudden they they thought ah I have to do trouba at first they didn't do chuva Mio idea whoever knows so that's plastic test who no let's see the Melbourne yes the Euchre Island right yes maybe a Cornish pork but after they cried out to cut a Sparkle and he saw that they were serious about it maybe I cut his vertical bypassed uh uh Jonah and told her okay you're on the right track yeah okay Hashem doesn't just speak to guy and you know it would have to be how you did the navi so who gave them this great idea apparently Jonah was not doing exactly what our College Park wanted to do I mean you're right you know you did it here probably didn't and he didn't tell him to do true we assumed that car is powerful that was part of College Park who's uh uh message to him his mission and he didn't do it so when these people cry out hashems has Rahman even the guy when they when they're on the right path that he says the people of ninvee did not do a complete shuva because they only did Aziz but they didn't do compared to where they were so uh even if it says all right so maybe they only return the Hamas which was the capayam but they didn't actually return Gesa which was stolen he even brings down and said so according to this they didn't do a complete shuva because I mean the next question says shovel means they returned in other words they ceased but without without Uhura that's the opinion of The Muppets now according to uh so we learned on Friday it wasn't a real truth it was just it was just deferring so according to the basically Kim the people of ninvee were missing ingredients of chuva from which he proves that chuva is different than any other mitzvahira normally by Mitzvahs if you do part of a Mitzvah you don't get anything for example if you were uh three convoys on your titses you're not makayan or somebody has three parachutes in his villain he's not Makai but from here we see from the people of ninvee that if Hashem accepted what they did that means it has value even though they were lacking one on the ingredients of juva they were lacking nevertheless this tuba had value to the revana let's see this album and then we'll we'll hold it says the album mirodea Yash gum cane and just like here the mountain says they did have karate just like they had harata Kane the nikham alaikim God will relent from Xerox so the question is who's talking here who's talking foreign was sent to them they understood that they could do chuva so they sort of outsmarted Yana if God wants to destroy a people and they have no opportunity to do chuva then why would he tell them first for what purpose what's what of what benefit is it to them for them to know so they said if God is sending Yana to tell us that we're gonna die it must be we could do chuva even though yayna sort of was holding that part back and they didn't hop at first they didn't understand that first they didn't realize at first but but they they got it ultimately so they they outsmarted himself very interesting way of understanding this okay foreign you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
