A Vort From the Rebbe Parshas Bamidbar, Rabbi Leibel Shapiro - 5786

It was from the Reb and this week's parishb starts with Hashem telling Ma commanding Ma the mitzvah of counting the Eden and the puts it this way spoke to Ma when the Eden were in the desert of and the continues first day of the second month and the second year when Eden went out of and the Reb asks why does the mention the place and the time of when Hashem told Misha to tell to do this mitzvah. We don't find that other mitzvah when Hashem told Misha certain mitzvah doesn't say where they were at that time. It doesn't say at what when when it was why by this mitzvah the mentions that it was told to me when they were in the midbar and it was in the second year of going out. So the Reb says the answer is like this. Rasha says that the Indian of this counting is that because Hashem loves the Eden he counts them very often. That means the counting of the Eden represents shows Hashem's love to Eden that we understand when Hashem shows his love to Eden. If there's any mil that the Eid has, Hashem will show express that Mila in the Eden. So, Hashem's love to the Eden when he expresses that love also connects to the mentioning the the praise of Eden, the greatness of Eden. Now Rasha says in paras that when the Eden went out it shows the praise of the Eden and as Rasha says it shows the praise of the Eden didn't say how could we go to the desert without any food they trusted him and they went and quotes where it says I remember your kindness when you young and the post continues that you followed me in the to the desert in a land that's not planted. So the Eden going into the desert shows the greatness of Eden. It's a praise upon the Eden. Here we're talking about when the Eden were a second year already and they were going into the second year of being the desert. So that itself is a praise. the fact that it's already a year over a year that they in the desert and they didn't complain and they're still there that shows the praise of the Eden and therefore we're talking about the since we're talking about a mitzvah that expresses the praise of Eden. So the TA puts in another praise telling it they're still in the midbar and it's a second year already. So that's another step another point in expressing the praise of the Eden. And that's why when it comes to this mitzvah of counting the Eden, which is a mitzvah that expresses Hashem's loves to the Eden, which means also Hashem, it's a special mitzvah that expresses the greatness of the Eden, which is one of the reason why Hashem loves them. There are other reasons too, but this is one of the reasons. So the Torah puts in already another praise that, you know, they're still in the midbour and it's the second year already and they're still there and it's okay with it. So since this is a mitzvah that shows the love of the Eden by this mitzvah the T makes sure to mention that another praise that the Eden were in still in the midbar the second year which stresses expresses the love of Dish to Eden.
