In this par we have you know as the Terry mentions given out like we saw before is given out the is first of all the word it'll fall to you it's it's not that you'll conquer or it'll be meed out or given it will fall that says is especially connected to the concept of girl says um he doesn't say quite why but the reason is simple the the word people implies um something unforeseen unpredictable and when something falls down it falls down by accident by mistake or something like that. So the word over here would mean that it it's not something predictable I guess right word anything that is did not have to be divided by like you didn't need a he brings a from Yeshua because they don't have Israel It was not something that was suitable to give out um because a is that doesn't need to apply to it. So let's um speak a little bit about the idea of go and go being identified. Now there there are three basic methods we could say three basic ways of that Buddha possibly could have worked for dividing up our Israel. One of them is using our judgment. Erh, how do we divide up fair lats? Maybe sometimes we would and beside who put in more effort and which land is worth more all sorts of various person various uh arbitrations that that best would take part and it would lay out fair. This is a is a is a positive process in um in a normal piece of land. We make a decision who who put in more effort and who deserves more and who what's a fair share and so on. Nour on the other hand is something that is totally not in our control. It's not coming from us. We are being told very clearly what to do. We're told you should fight this, you should give this, you should do that. That's is a very fascinating um midpoint. The Rambam in Torah where discusses the nva. So nvu is a process that one under one under goes a process to acquire nva and it includes all sorts of um you know learning studying and so on so forth and then a person reaches a play a point of kesh kesh is described as he understands things that he never understood before things that were obscure to him or totally not known and he understands that it's not his mind that could have possibly understood it. It's some sort of connection with beyond. It's it's um so it's it's an interesting arrangement. I understand it but I understand it through a um through a perspective that's outside of me. That's as best as we can put it. Finally, Ra says if a person's a person keeps on studying and doing and acting in the way he should act, a person is prepared for nva. Sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't come, totally unpredictable. In other words, is totally coming from Hashem. Anovi actually sort of collapses when he gets a vision and aeshu speaks to him and it's all about that's that's all it is that's a regular but a um over here but that's that's the VU so is some sort of midpoint and o between the two we have using our sele to determine what's an appropriate um division. We have totally just being told from Hashem what to do and we're just at the receiving end and we say yes and that's we go do it. And then we have a an intermediate type of a connection called roa kesh where I understand me I understand after thinking about something but then I realize that no my understanding is drawing from somewhere else that is sort of a mid um uh ape of I don't know what to call experience between and we have a gor is also like that I have not predetermined what is going to be who's going to get what I I didn't make that decision on the other hand I do an act that determines who's going to get it I draw a gor I draw a name of a person name of a lot and I match them so there is a type um decision and I I have a decision and yet it's not made quite by me. I pick the name and then somehow it it comes up like that. It's something which is very reminiscent of in the sense that a person understands with his mind but understands that his mind is operating in a way that could not have been possible. So he's he's maven with das but he realized it's not his das earth Israel was like that um mura kes who was medal himself and he was the only one the only entity that was visible and said you know gave us the the and everything and yeah we're we are we have to do what we have to But you know it's Israel it's terra is integrated into the life and so on. So on the one hand I go through motions that seem normal and natural on the other hand I understand there that there's something is leading it. It can't it's not it's not just a natural order. So needed to have the um kaluca based on something which would be a unique blend of ashka and I'd be pitting the goro but the goral itself the the the the um the choice would become the um the the the uh Delion of falling is also that when something when I do an act I'm just from guilty and I did it when something happens from outside it comes somewhere else when something drops out of my hand so to speak then I did something but I can't quite say I was the one in control and therefore I I see there's something straddling the middle so this is really what the pro is He's saying um you're coming to it's the type of that you will get through goro it's going to be of a different caliber it's going to be of a different way that your connection to land it'll be a place where it's neil it falls it's your act but not consciously so it is like it is the words coming from um somewhere else and and fitting the situation. So the Pik mentions you come to which comes about which you will divide up through gor go is parallel to kodes and that is the the the appropriate method of dividing up because what is it is it is it means that we take we act in ways that are natural on the surface but what's guiding the hand is definitely is something beyond the
