"Fasten Your Seatbelts" - Imponderables on Parshas Balak

okay thank you welcome everyone I want to share with you some questions on parashas balak Rashi says in the beginning of the parashah that they asked billum you know what's up with this nation Israel what's their strength so bilum said their strength is their mouth so they said okay we'll come upon them with somebody whose strength is in their mouth as well and we'll use a balak because balak also his strength is in his mouth so my question is just because cloudy so strength is in their mouth why does the counter Force have to be the mouth you would think if somebody's strength is in their mouth so then hit them with uh hit them with something that's not their strength hit them with their weakness come upon them with the sword why does it follow that because the counter Force has to be prepared now in that the beginning of the parashah Rashi says why is balak sending to the zikane Midian but they always hated each other so as she says they made peace to figure out what to do with the Jewish people I don't understand Russia's question why Bullock is asking this Rashi says shortly after on the possible that balak was one of the zik name Midian and mayev couldn't find the king so they took one of the zikni midyan as their own so why is Rashi troubled then why is Bullock asking the zikane midyan he was from Midian I understand mayav hates Midian but boak is a midiani next question over the years we've had a number of shurim on the word Hine the word Hine connotes surprise or something definitive I'm just not sure what does it mean over here is what is the name mean over there foreign mean there is it a surprise that they became so many was that the Shocker that this small nation who was beaten and oppressed became so many is that the Hine was the Hine that they even came Adam Israel so this was the message that they sent to bilham benbar then it says in posix they were not mentioned originally when a message was sent to the zikane mayev excuse me to the nickname midyan the posix said but it didn't say anything about the zikane mayaf so where do they come from in pasok Zion where the zikane mayev went with the zikane media now she says Rashi says they had the following superstitious tradition they said if bilam agrees right away then will be successful but if he hems and then this ain't happening I was wondering where did they have this tradition from and what was the meaning of it why would it only work out if billum agreed immediately and then Hashem comes to bilam and he says billum who are these people with you sarashi says Hashem was giving bilam a chance an opening to make a mistake so billum said oh maybe um God is not always aware of everything are you kidding me billum's enoughy he did did he really think sometimes Hashem is not aware of Base good Eloy Kim why does it say Hall I like him in the previous passage it says Kim so I would I just occurred to me that I think that these two questions answer each other I don't think billum thought not everything is revealed before God I think what what Hashem led bilam to believe is that there's certain things that he's above like he's not interested in he doesn't look at you know there's a famous story about I'm a reporter that once met Queen Elizabeth And the reporter was wearing the same outfit as the queen and the reporter sort of apologized you know it's not bakavadik for the reporter to wear the same thing as the queen and Queen Elizabeth said a very powerful line she says I'm royalty I don't know pay attention to what other people are wearing that's beneath me beneath me it's beneath my dignity to pay attention to such pettiness so I would say it's not that billum thought God doesn't know billum was led to believe that God is so moved out separate this star that the the petty details of Earthly Affairs are not are beneath him not that he can't know any you know it's it's he chooses not to be uh not as if he doesn't know it that's why when Hashem said oh this is not just like him it's hard like him how I like him sort of that strength in belham's uh mistaken notion that you see we believe that while Hashem is and he's beyond our comprehension nevertheless there's nothing beneath him all right this bothers me is God got angry that billum went so Rashi says Hashem saw he saw that it was bad in the eyes of Hashem and he wanted to go listen carefully Russia doesn't say Hashem got angry at bilam that even though Hashem told him not to go he went Rashi says Hashem get angry abilam that billum saw that it was bad in the eyes of Hashem and that's why he desired to go because he knew it was bad in the eyes of Hashem how does Rashi know that that's what the plastic means maybe it just means that Hashem got angry that he did that billum didn't listen to him how does Rashi know that Hashem get angry that billum went and desired to go because Hashem said not to then she says she says astam fence is made out of stone who cares why is Rashi saying that why is it important for Ashley to tell us what the fence is made out of over here next question look paragraph she says um that we get up in the morning chakras we strengthen ourselves like a lion to grab Mitzvahs to wear Talus to say kriyashima to put on to villain rashi's out of order Rashi should say to put on Talus to put on to villain and to say Shema foreign he will peck and poke all the descendants of Chase says Rashi all the nations of the world because they all come from Chase the son of other Mari shine because the descends of cayenne all died in the marble I don't understand why all of a sudden the nations of the world are called the benayshays I mean technically we're also bonacious and I mean is there any other time in Hamish that they're called banays why are we referencing the fact that they're beneficias and then finally at the very end the last Rashi in the parasha that pinchas took the sword and he stuck it through the zakras of zimri and the nachos of her that's the shadow of kavasa and everyone saw that they were killed for a good reason but then rashians many miracle happened on that day why is Rashi telling me that is there is there a problem with the plastic over here the plastic says that he stuck in El cavasa but why is Rashi telling me many many miracles happen that day is that add explanation to the pasok as we mentioned many times rashi's job is not to collect mid-russian Rashi isai I thank you very much for joining us today I wish everyone and a wonderful Shabbos Chavez
