V’Zos HaBerachah - 5th Portion

Join me to learn the fifth Torah lesson , Thursday Parsha Bhazat HaBarakah, the fifth Torah lesson, chapter 33, verse 22. We continue the blessing that Moses gave to the tribes of the Jewish people as they prepared to enter the Land of Israel on the last day of their lives, on the day of their death. We now come to the last few tribes , and the tribe of Dan. Ul'dan is mine, and to Dan he said, Gur Aryeh, a young lion, I'zanek min Habashan, rushes from Bashan. Dan was called the lion , as Rashi explains, because of the face of the lion, because he also lived near the border. Vifika Moshe was considered a lion because lions are strong, they have to protect the people inside, and so they deployed strong people at the border. Itzani kimina Bashan, as the Targum explains, means that his land would then provide the remainder of the canals coming from Bashan , meaning that side of the Jordan that was the area of ​​Bashan. Sh'haya ha'yarden yetzei me'chalke, because the Jordan would have come out of the part of the Don ; Me'mtzaos Pamayas, from the cave of Pamayas; V'hi Leshem, which is the city of Leshem; She'hi B'chalke Shel Dan, which was in the territory of Dan; Of She'nem, as it is said in the Book of Joshua, "Va'ikru l'shma l'sh Leshem Dan," that they called the area of ​​Leshem Dan because that is where Dan was. V'je nuke ki luchai mina Bashan, and the watercourse flowing from the Jordan did not begin in the area of ​​Bashan and therefore the Jordan River was considered a river flowing from Bashan. Another way to interpret this verse of Dover. It is much like a stream of water, which comes from one place and then splits into different areas. So the tribe of Dan had two territories in two different areas in the land of Israel. There was an area in the northwestern part of the Land of Israel. The city of Akron and its surrounding towns. This was not enough for their people. So they went and conquered the city of Leshem, which is Pamiah, and it is among us and it is located in the northeast of the land of Israel. Rashi proves that this area of ​​Leshem is not the same area now but rather a different area. It is located on the border of Pamias, Jordan emerges from the cave of Pamias from where the Mizrach shal and Israel and Jordan pass through the entire eastern side of the Land of Israel. From Mizrach to where Israel is, it covers the entirety of the Yamma Melach and it runs from north to south along the eastern side of the Land of Israel and ends at the edge of the Dead Sea. Mizrach, which is east of the territory of Judah , will no longer be like Israel, because its territory was already south of Israel. As stated in the account of Joshua Yehuda Yamma Melach, in the Book of Joshua the territory of Judah, which was within its borders, was further south of Israel, and that is why when speaking of the territory of Dan it is said that the people of Dan went and fought against Lashaha. This means that their territory extended from that entire area and then the people of Dan went and fought against Lashahar. This means that their territory extended from that entire area and then the people of Dan went and fought against Lashahar. This means that their territory extended from that entire area and then the people of Dan went and fought against Lashahar. This means that their territory extended from that entire area and then the people of Dan went and fought against Lashahar. This means that their territory extended from that entire area and then the people of Dan went and fought against Lashahar. This means that their territory extended from that entire area and then the people of Dan went and fought against Lashahar. This means that they began their conquest from the northwest , and therefore they went in a different direction and conquered the city of Leshem , which eventually became part of their territory. We now move on to the tribe of Naphtali. In the case of Naphtali, verse 23 states, " Concerning Naphtali he said," Naphtali, the assembly of the assembly , "Naphtali is satisfied, full of desire. Umale Birkas Hashem, and full of the blessing of God, Dar Yerosha. And he took possession and possessed the Sea of ​​Chinnereth in the south." Rashi, "Savar Ratsin, she hoisa artzi sveya kol ratzei Israel. His land satisfied all the people who lived there , because it produced very good fruit, and so everyone who lived there enjoyed the fruit of that land. Yam Idor Yasha, Yam Kinneret was not his territory, and Yashavel Kinneret was not, and he took Bedrayama. And that's why he was able to take a big net, a big part of the land , and it was big enough to catch all the fish south of the Ret , and that's why they were able to use all these different types of nets to catch the fish that were there. Irusha, like the words of Lashon Mayali Resh , like go and conquer. The fact that you have the trope or cantillation, that's at the beginning of the word, like Irusha, not Irusha, not on Shin but on Resh, proves that it's telling you to go do something. As we have in various other We find it in commands . Like listen, take, know. When you add a 'he' , but put the cantillation on the first letter like you do, all these kinds of words are terms of command that he must go and conquer. Just like Rashi brings a proof that you find in the general book of Jewish Hebrew grammar , where the different bases are calculated where the word is calculated with the cantillation at the beginning which gives you the meaning of a command . Verse 24, the tribe of Asher . And to Asher he said, Asher shall be blessed with sons . Asher shall be blessed with sons. He shall satisfy his brothers and he shall be accepted by his brothers . Rashi I saw in Sifrei, which gives the following explanation. There was no one among any other tribe so blessed in having sons as Asher . But I don't see how it works because you do n't see in practical terms that Asher was blessed with so many sons when they were old. Counting the tribes. That's what Rashi said. I don't know how it actually fits in the context of the verses . That he was, he was well-liked. He was pleased by his brothers. So in the word shaman, they could be shaman and people could be Floys because they had very good oil in their land and in exchange for that oil his brothers would give him wheat and so everyone liked him because they wanted to get all the oil that was in his area. Another explanation is that you know they had very beautiful daughters and so everyone wanted to marry into their family. We should never believe that this is discussed in the book of Chronicles which according to the source the daughters of Asher were given in marriage to the high priest , as well as their kings , and the kings were anointed with oil that came from his area. There is a story in the Talmud that once the people of Lutkia, which is an area of ​​Syria, needed oil. And they sent a messenger or an envoy to buy oil . And where did he go? He had to come to the area of ​​Asher and only there did he find oil. And as discussed there , they sold him oil for 100,000 tsuzim. As discussed in the text of Menachot , 85b. Verse 25. Your locks are iron and copper. And the days of your old age will be like the days of your youth. Rashi 25. Here, speaking of the locks, it says, your mountains are like locks and the land is rich in iron and copper. Here he is talking about how by now Moses has begun to speak to all the different groups together. Not just to one specific group, but to all the groups of the Jewish people. As Rashi says, "Achshav Medab is the confederate of Israel." "Now he is speaking to the entire Jewish people. The strong men will be stationed at the border. Since the strong tribes, such as the tribe of Dan, were stationed at the border, the enemies will not be able to easily enter the land of Israel. And so it is considered to be locked . As if closed with a lock . Made of iron and copper bars or bars. Another interpretation of this verse is. Your land is surrounded by mountains from which you can mine iron and copper , because it was in the area of ​​Asher and was therefore considered to be the lock of the land of Israel. One view is that this is speaking to the general groups of the Jewish people and telling them that they are protected because of the groups. Another is that this is specifically speaking to the tribe of Asher that the mountains in their area had iron and copper that they could mine. What you build from the back of the house. The good days of a man are the days of your youth, when you are strong, these are the days of your beginning that you should remember. Can you say that the days of old age are also "Is that how it should be? People usually suffer from anxiety when they grow old, their health starts to deteriorate, they are plagued by pain and suffering. So the blessing is that even in old age, he remains as young and strong as in his youth." Another interpretation of the word "Vekha." Cole Like "The word means those days that are good for you." " The days that are good for you, as long as you are doing according to the will of God, are," Shekol Harotzot Ye'Advekha ". So, "Shekol Harotzot Ye'Advekha ", then your whole land will be filled with prosperity." Kesef V’Zahav, gold and silver will literally flow into the land of Israel. He will look at them all. He will look at them all. The point here is, as long as you obey God, the surrounding countries will want to buy your goods, so the gold and silver from all over the world will flow to Israel. 26 Ain Kel Yeshurun Rochav Shamayim Be’Ezrekha Uve’Ga’avato Shachakim, There is no god like God who comes to your aid in the skies . With His glory and the skies. Rashi Ain Kel Yeshurun Da Lakha Yeshurun, Know the Jewish people. There is no other god, their strength or rock is not comparable to the strength of God. Rochav Shamayim Be’Ezrekha Uve’Ga’avato Shachakim, This means the God who dwells in heaven , He is the one who will be present for your salvation. Because of the glory of God, He goes up to heaven and notices you and all Protects you from the evil side. This concludes the fifth Torah lesson of Parshas V’Zosh HaBrachah.
