Va’eschanan - 3rd Portion

Join me as we learn kumish for Tuesday paran chapter 4 verse 41. Today we learn as Moshe then designates the cities of refuge which will be used on the side of the Jordan. We spoke about the cities of refuge that were used in the previous star readings in Bameidbar in the book of numbers about when they were dividing the land over here. We're going to read about the three cities of refuge that were going to be used on the other side of the Jordan as well. Verse 41, Moshe then decided to designate three cities on this side of the Jordan towards the sunrise. Moshe realized what does he say now that he did it then? to meaning that when he was telling them about the laws of the cities of refuge, Moshe said, "Well, let's designate some places on this side of the Jordan that he should be the one to do it." Even though they actually didn't work, meaning that they wouldn't accept a person who killed somebody inadvertently until the three on the other side of the land of Israel was already were active. If I have the ability to do a mitzvah that I can designate which should be the cities, I'm going to do it on that side of the Jordan which is east in the direction of the sunrise which is towards east. When you look when the word hey at the end of a so the word is you add the word the letter hey the letter hey puts it with an with a with a uh you call it but it means so it's meaning the way the sun shines meaning the sunrise what was the purpose of making these cities of refuge so that a murderer can run who may have murdered his friend without knowledge in a time we're talking about where he does not hate him neither yesterday or the day before and he can run to one of these designated cities and he will be able to live there. Verse 43. What were the cities midbar in the midbar in the land of the Mishra which belonged to the Ruveni? That means in the plain country which the the tribe of Ruven was given. Esotilad Ris in Gilad Lagodi which belonged to Gilad and Golanashi and the Golan in the Bashan which now was in the area territory of Masha. Verse 44. Following is the instructions that Moshe set before the Jewish people. What does it mean in the Torah? This what we're going to talk about after this Torah reading tells us about the different blessings that come later on many of the commandments and the blessings and the curses and everything that come after in the following Torah readings. Verse 45. These are the very same testimonies, rules, and ordinances that Moshe spoke to the Jewish people when they came out of Egypt. These are the same exact words that Mosha told them when he came out of Egypt. And he repeated them again by the plains of Moab as we're soon going to see and then in the following verses as well. And this is Mosha's second address to the Jewish people on the other side of the Jordan meaning in the valley opposite the in the valley m opposite base in the land of the king of the Amorites that was living at the time destroyed or killed the Jewish people when they left Egypt. verse 47 and they conquered his land. They took possession of his land and the land of Og, the king of Bash, the two Amorite kings that were on the other side of the Jordan. That were on the side of the Jordan. Which side of the Jordan? Misrah towards the sunrise. Not that the eastern side which is on the east the other side of the Jordan is on the west. They were on the east side of the Jordan. Verse 48 which was on the edge of the Arnon River or brook until Mount which today is called verse 49. And that whole plane which is eastward of the across the Jordan River eastward until the sea of the plane along the foot of the waterfall of the peak. This concludes the third Torah reading of parasan.
