Day #339–Rambam DAILY Sefer HaMitzvos

it is day number 339 of our daily study of R and that corresponds in the three chapters a day study track of mish the laws of kings and their Wars chapters 10 11 and 12 those are the last three chapters of the entire Misha and we're going to be finishing the last Mitzvah of the entire 613 Mitzvah okay here we go get ready for a big mazl this is a big accomplishment barem Hashem has given strength to come to this point and tomorrow with God's help we're going to start all over again from day one and take another 339 day Journey okay here are mitzvah for today uh positive commandment 191 is the Mitzvah of before battle the what we would call today maybe an army chaplain a special type of Kain a special type of priest known as the mhu anointed for battle that's it literally means mhu anointed for battle he gets up and he makes a proclamation about who should return from the Battlefront anyone who has bought a new house and not begun to live there anyone who has planted a new vineyard and not redeemed the first crop and anyone who betrothed a woman and did not yet marry her remember those are two phases betral and marriage okay so they go back plus anyone who's afraid of battle also goes back and then the people who are afraid they go back and you may you think maybe I don't know maybe the guy just planted a new vineyard maybe he's not afraid but okay at any rate when is that applicable in Aus we spoke about the fact there's something called Aus which is an optional War not if it's a m Mitzvah an obligatory Mitzvah War then everybody has to fight okay next positive commandment 24 are is the Mitzvah that a newly married groom in his first year doesn't even go out to the battle okay so we spoke about people who they go out to the Battlefront and then they're told go home but actually when they go home they don't they don't just they're not just free to do whatever they want they have to support the war effort by doing sort of like uh civilian stuff to support uh the the war effort so they're not completely off the hook but for the first year the groom he doesn't even go out to get Exempted he just doesn't show up uh he doesn't report at all and he is completely free he does not have to support the war effort but again when is this in the milus rash in an optional War Okay negative commandment 311 is is causing a newly married groom to be absent from his home and this prohibition is leveled at both those who would remove the groom from his home as well as to the groom himself meaning even if he'll say well no one's making me do this I'm volunteering it's me you know the the the draft office so to speak can't remove me from my home the first year I'm married but if I do it to myself it's okay no no no it's not okay he can't even do it to himself he has to stay home and be with his wife for the first year okay and again that's in in an optional War negative commandment 58 do not be afraid in battle you're going out with the support of Hashem do not be afraid and by the way this applies to everything in life don't be afraid Hashem is with us positive commandment 221 is the Mitzvah of the ASAS which is the beautiful captive bride the the war bride she is a woman who is captured in battle and she's given the option of becoming Jewish and becoming the wife of the Jewish Soldier this is obviously up to her discretion and if she refuses he has to let her go and that also applies to the next commandment negative commandment 263 which is he's not allowed to sell her as a slave meaning if she says no I don't want to be married to you I don't want to become Jewish so then he'll say okay well then I'll sell you as a slave which slaver existed in those times so but no he's not allowed to do that to her and then negative Commandments 264 is he's not allowed to use her as his own slave oh you don't want to be my wife okay well we'll keep you on as a as a servant no he's not allowed to do that he has to allow her to go either she becomes his wife or if she wants to go she can go okay though mazov those are all the mitah we've studied all 613 Commandments and now I just want to pull up the Mish I'm looking at chapter 12 the Final Chapter uh chapter 12 ofm laws of kings and their Wars I'm looking at Hala hey that means uh law number five I'm I'm going to read it in its entirety and in that time in the time of Mia there will no longer be famine nor War not jealousy or even competition why because good things will be in abundance they'll be flowing in abundance Prosperity the and all Delicacies will be as plentiful as as dust and the occupation of the entire world will be what when we have such abundance when there's no scarcity whatsoever of resources so then what are we going to be doing so the entire occupation of the world will be what just to know God therefore when the whole world the entire world is occupied in just knowing god the Jewish people will be regarded as great sages knowing the hidden matters and apprehending the understanding of their creator according to the capacity of man Shar as it says and now we quote the prophet Isaiah Kim for the world will be full of the knowledge of God as the waters cover the ocean bed and that brings us to the close and may we see the Fulfillment of this time speedily mazov mazov we'll see you tomorrow as we go back to class number one
