Devarim - 7th Portion

Join me as we learn Chumash for the seventh day for Shabbat parshas Devorim chapter 3 verse 15. We continue the conquering of the Jewish people taking over the lands on the other side of the Jordan and how they were able to overcome the enemies that stood in their way, the parcels that were given to the two and a half tribes that were on the other side of the Jordan, Ruvein and Menashe and the half of the Menashe, Ruvein, Gad and half of the Menashe. Verse 15. And to Machir I gave the Gilead. The part of the northern of the Gilead was given to Machir. and to the tribes of Ruvein and Gad I gave from Gilead until the Arnon River to the Arnon River I gave them to the border of the the area through the till the Yabbok River and until the Yabbok River which is the boundary of the Ammonites. Rashi, what does it mean in the river through the river? Meaning including the entire river until the other south side of it. In Hebrew there's a terminology when you say until is that including until or is it all all up until that spot? So here therefore the Torah uses the terminology in the river and including. That means when we say up until including that until that we mentioned including the river as well. Verse 17. And the plain which is on the east bank of the Jordan River. The Jordan and the Jordan River up on its opposite of Kinneret from the lake of the Kinneret by the Yam Huarova and into the sea of the plain Yam Hamelach the sea salt sea salt the salt at sea Tachas Ashtot Pisgah under the foot or until the foot of the waterfalls Mizrachah undergoing eastern side that means Tachas Ashtot Pisgah Mizrachah on the foot of the waterfall descending from the peak eastward. Rashi Mickey Nerit what does it mean from the Kinneret Mayevar Yarden Lemaravi from the side of the Jordan which is the west end of it the Nachlas Bnei Gad and the area of the Bnei Gad Mayevar Yarden Mizrachi was on the eastern side of the Jordan Nachal Begilgal that was in their parcel Rechav Yarden Kenegdam if you take the width of the Jordan River that was opposite them three Mayvar Shasin a little more on the other side of the western side Ad Kinneret until the Kinneret V'zeh Osh Nemar Mayevar Yarden Niglah Yarden Mayevarley therefore it says and the Jordan was its written border because the border included the Jordan and everything that was opposite it. Verse 18 Va'atzav Eschem B'eys Hahu Anochi Tzivisi Eschem Ba'eys Hahu Leimor Asher Hashem Elokeichem Nosan Lachem Es Ha'aretz Hazos God gave you this land Lerishta to take possession of it Chalutzim Ta'avru however you must remember that you have to go armed Lifnei Acheichem Bnei Yisrael the Jewish people Kol Bnei Yisrael all the people who war. Rashi 18 Va'atzav Eschem and I commanded who is he talking to? He's not referring to all the Jewish people but the people that he gave the parcel of lands which is Reuven Gad Bnei Gad Kol Yisrael Edaber Li was talking to them Lifnei Acheichem Heimah Yochlim V'eisev Lemilchamah they went before they were the ones on the front lines that went before all the Jewish people. V'Yochlu V'Yishyu B'Yom Ha'Yom V'Yiflu Lifneihem they were strong and the enemy would just fall apart before them. As we're going to learn later in chapter 33 that the God was blessed with the Torah of Zeriah of Kotzk that when they were able to attack the enemy, they were able to swipe the head and the and the arm and the arm off the one shot and they were able to knock off the enemy and therefore they were petrified of them and therefore they would lead the Jewish people in war. Just your wives but your wives and your young children and your cattle because I know that you have a lot of cattle. They shall abide in your cities as I have said that I have given you. When can you come back and settle here? Only until God has given rest to your brothers like this for your sugar they will also settle that God gives that gives them a very ardent and the other side of the Jordan for shaft and each only then can you each man can return to his land to his inheritance as I have that I have given you. First 21 Yeshua I commanded at that time saying Your eyes see everything that God has done to these two kings. So to God will do to all the kingdoms that that you will go past through that you will come to on the other side of the land in the land of Israel. Do not be fear do not fear them. God is for God who I knew that is waging the war for you. This concludes the Torah reading of Parshas Devorim.
