Home2Torah Where the Sanhedrin Sits Rabbi Poston Mishpatim 5778

[Music] and we just said hi everybody welcome back so we are in chapter 21 partial to the spot theme of Exodus but what we're going to deal with is the last few words of the previous chapter chapter 20 actually verses 21 through 23 and we're really going to focus on these two words the a Lew Hamish Pat team and we're going to we're going to involve ourselves with a little bit of didactics the 13 heart and the neuticle principles the exegesis principles of learning that I love that we're going to deal with some real logical ideas we're going to learn a lot of like shots and rush and is the simple meaning expounding upon it and what we call Paola and the home and how the Hummer means what if it's a very 8 and have you say what 40 40 40 40 alpha Tori yeah I actually gave you a couple and what's the word links in number three he actually calls it what he doesn't say but inside those links they talk about that word okay so the famous question many of the party Oats start off with is why is this parsha connected with the last week's partial what exactly and I'm going to tell you it all karashi says all the Rajah's it's one of the main things that Rashi says is besides pointing out there's above and he says something about the vote which I'll skip for now now why was the section dealing with the laws juxtaposed to the section dealing with the altar in other words we're in source sheet1 and if you look back at 21 verse 21 in chapter 20 yeah you have it misses back at the mark there's a command to build a altar of Earth and you've got a slaughter next to it in his back to all of the different types of Corbin notes and a very nice blessing comes from a Shannon and when you make that number one they shouldn't use metal you don't use metal to carve it out and it has to be natural or through a certain worm and you don't ascend steps it should be a built as a ramp no steps it's built as a ramp why in order that the nakedness of the Culhane who's who's ascending the ramp is not seen by the stones that are underneath it now why I'm gonna give you some ideas that we're gonna see it inside what it sounds like is that we have to be concerned about inanimate objects why does it have to use a non-metal or not I or an object to shape the stones what do we care the stones are inanimate objects they have feelings and the the stones are ashamed by looking up at the nakedness remember the co-main is wearing this gown so to speak a row that that you could see underneath it so there's some kind of nakedness if there were steps so what low let's see what let's see steps woodwork uncover it I mean this makes any sense and then there's above look English bottom and these are the biscotti so now we're going to see the real the room we wanted to focus in on and that is it what is highlighted now why is this section dealing with gloss juxtaposed to the section deal with the author in other words miss spotting the word miss bunting means laws and this whole parshas chock-full of tort laws and civil laws and they're all beautiful but the most nevertheless what did we have a last week's portion the truth is we had the Ten Commandments right and we had the authority the ability of this altar and but to tell you that the place the st. Hedren that you should actually place the same as in the place that the Sanhedrin sits is adjacent to the altar debate the MCDOT some say the altar but that's the concept and that's gonna be our focus for today but not really and other words Rashi things this is one answer yet but the Metris brings two additional answers and Rashi doesn't bring them so not only we're going to gain great insight into the other two answers that the Gemara brings and we're going to try to figure out why Rashi didn't bring this those two answers and he only brought this and it could be the end that this answers the other two but okay I don't want to give too much away I do Wow I do want to focus on the first part of that Rashi that we didn't really leave wherever it says just the word Eila remember it says Vela with the book love alif laam in head whenever it says the word alien without the love so it separates whatever had been previously said how many times have I told you or your mother told you never start a new sentence with the word and we've heard this before so it starts with the word aunt but if it didn't say add it just started with the worthies it comes to separate what had previously been said with what is now about to be said but the fact that our partial says and these tells us what that there's a connection and what was said previously which was the ten commandments and where were they told over at Mount Sinai so to all these laws of torts all the details all these mitzvahs that we were given in terms of how to run a society was given at Mount Sinai unbeliev right is great good stuff okay so the clear car only asks the question why is any quoting Rashi why is the parsha connected to last week's Varsha in order to tell you that the Sanhedrin needs to be there that's the place in the said hundred next to the altar however what Rashi did not explain is a famous kumara and this Gamora can be found in number three I'm skipping to for a second cuz we'll get back to it oh you know what let's do let's just go through number two first just notice when we read number three that you'll see the word Arash by the word Barkha para that's the rabbi's name the Rosh means that he expounded it wasn't push it shot it wasn't the most simple way to read the verse but it was something added in the understanding whereas when it came to Rebbe ellos Eleazar it says Omar he said which means he's telling us what the shot is and he's explaining this verse in the Gemara well actually we'll see how he explains he first explains the principle and where do you learn the principle from this verse and what person we expounded in last week's partial it says you shall not ascend the steps upon my altar so that your nakedness shall not be exposed to ponder okay so now turn to number three where you can see clearly says Doris Parker he says where do we know this concept the concept is how guma to Nima did that a judge means to what to be slow and deliberate in judgment now what kind of judgment be talking about if he's being he's judging a case and the case is completely the person is innocent he should let the people know you're acquitted if you're innocent go home enjoy your time with your wife and kids have a nice supper but if the person is guilty he needs to wait overnight now obviously if it's not like a major capital case it doesn't gonna have to wait overnight but he shouldn't give the judgment the negative judgment right away what if more witnesses come what if it could be overturned so in a capital case for sure you're gonna wait a whole nother day and then the next morning you'll tell the guy sorry you guilty you have to die but at least you were maturing the dead you didn't give over such a harsh punishment right away and that's the most extreme case we're gonna have cases where people come to me or people come to other rabbis and ask questions well I could show off right I could be I could show my my colors I can answer them in a split second before you finish the question I already know what they're gonna ask so that's gonna be a question of haughtiness it's gonna be expression of hardness so be platooning within saying you know if it's the most simple question let me let me get the book and see what the book has to say you know because then but you know I get the person to talk number one and you can actually find out a lot more things to help them answer the question you have a question I'm saying you know uh buzz memory he had a beautiful thing he said about this he said though he was a young rabbi he used to get it like everybody the same like judgment liked it they had this probably a good answer for the book and he said the older he got the more mature he got the more they were different the more each person like you're saying each person he would rule differently for them and he said like by the time he retired he was like basically ruling differently for everybody because everybody's different and situation is different is that the evil the laws are the same the way they're applied in different situations are they're beautiful okay said where is this proof it says do not ascend the steps right our verse that you should be Mattoon but then and I'm just gonna stop look at Rashi when he says the monologue when he goes his and Hebrew and Rashi strip and going up the steps been Kazakh over the roots that strong and fast when you go up steps I don't know if you ever noticed it I mean they even people say why 52 steps with no elevator it's my head they're kosher it's my workout room it's not my it's not my stair room it's my workout we always think twice before we leave the house but anyway so when you go up steps it's very different than going up a ramp when you go up a ramp and we go a little slower we go up steps it's a little bit quicker so that's all we understand so far Rashi and then he says the next part is are my Rebbe Eliezer it's actually ribbit al-azhar sir okay I'm Type O but long story man I am the Diane Shalu yep saya Alan Roche I'm Cody where do we know that a judge is not to trample or walk upon the heads of the holy nation from our verse he should not go up the steps to the altar okay so we don't really understand but smile honey we have someone who's making its Russia and we have another rabbi who's giving us shots but we're gonna go in-depth we're gonna really I don't know about fleshing out to flesh it out tear it apart eat it chew it consume it really understand that make a Kenyan acquire what God really wants us to know because this is the manual for life and we're only dealing with two words these are the bishop a team the truth is we aren't because we're going all over the place as you see at least 10 or 12 sources to other Sookie but okay so now we're going to go to number 4 anything to go back into the source okay I want you to know that we're activating our brain cells we're really going to think how these rabbis thought right as know what what to do we wanted to understand what God revealed at Mount Sinai he revealed all of this and for different people different times and all these lessons are to be learned and implied implemented into our life but we have to know what they are always sees words that don't have the deepest of meanings although I gave it some meaning but we're gonna see it might go much further not from me but from the tradition tradition I only helped interpret it okay so basically the question that the clea cart is wants to know is how come you have the word the rush by ready by Barca para and you have the word Allah and okay they're very different but what's what's the what's what's really going on here let me just go into the text so I'll tell you where we are [Music] ten ten ten lines down the last two words regarding for her eggs of Irene Paola Homer he basically wants to understand how did we understand that last point I already told you the first point you can see it in Rashi that when you go up steps you go fast so go up a ramp you're going slower but what is this about walking on the hands of other people so he says it's from the cup of Homer that just like stones which are in inanimate object they don't have any dots they don't have any brains they don't have any feelings and emotions that that you have to worry about shaming them the Torah tells us don't shame it don't ascend those steps to reveal the nakedness or don't bring metal stuff to the stone if you're not supposed to behave like that to inanimate object so now consider your thread meaning your brother meeting your another proven being who's created in the image of the one who created you how much more so should you be concerned about shaming that person how much more so it's called a cow of a comment it's illogical if it's true by this how much we're so would it be true that I wonder if you guys are with me so far because this is we haven't even begun to scratch the surface okay so now he wants to really understand each point better and I also read in Hebrew and translated it's the second paragraph become become trendy Eliot eliazar God that was smooth with the bar shield now if he's saying that it's shot meaning it's a simple meaning of the verse he's gonna tell us that the love of Allah is absolutely necessary as part of the shot it's not like ad rush it's actually shot right Louella your mother said never started word of sentiments and that and is actually part of the verse and part of the understanding by connecting whatever was in this case after is gonna apply before what was before isn't apply after it's gonna be on both sides it's called a volley tooth the tooth means encompassing I wrapped so the love is in wrapped with both sides like the word and I don't know sometimes isn't aware but anyway you have the word and actually connects whatever came before the end with what comes after the end so he says without this juxtaposition I would have only thought that we're only talking about who just to break their comment or a regular person not a dynamic because what would I have thought if I lived in America where I lived in Russia or one of these other countries I would have thought that if he didn't have the rule of law you didn't have the fear of the judge there would be anarchy Kass maybe maybe even here right that's a logical thought so maybe it applies to everybody but the judge right you come the judge I think that was like a stable you're growing up here come to judge the judge books and everyone stands up you have that fear law of the whole system so the judge represents the system so without that and then you might come to think what that let me just go through this again so with active of without know that they're connected I would have thought if I only read the first part meaning about the Exodus chapter 20 verses 21 through 23 without the love the a lavish baatein that this applies to the coin right he shouldn't put himself above or anybody else shouldn't put himself above the doctor under my hair Shana died at the Fisher who's not a judge or somebody important he's the one who shouldn't walk on the heads of other people in a way that shames them but when it comes to it this is all the mistaken thought okay but a Dian he needs to put this all and fear on the populace in order to listen to what he has to say so what would I have thought that it's actually permissible maybe even a mitzvah for the judge to instill this fear by degrading it around him no shemitah' are you gonna say that - of the show fee is greater than the coin so then you're gonna end up saying that the the judge is greater than the coming and that is the logical conclusion no commercial oh that's not what it means the tourist tell you know how does a judge gain respect by being an LFA in by being a mensch by being a decent human being right I mean who's gonna let I think today I guess they have thing they vote and whoever pays the most amount and maybe corrupt this is the opposite you become respected because of your deeds because the way you act with other human beings that's how it goes you got someone else down here you get on time this is this lesson unbelievable that says these are the miss 14 these are the walls you placed before them who's there the judges they are obligated to keep what was before the vote not to treat other people with disdain Wow and how do you know this from the kaabah Hummer of the stones of the inanimate objects as we said before Wow okay so we got that piece tough guys ready for the next paragraph you know we say that much harder the whole ideas you know how do you want to get on top you know same way you can speak flesh and heart or you can build yourself up you know you can either be you know grow or push another person down right and that's the easy way push the other person down I think you're both here right but you just really get anywhere in fact remember that why should harder right you heard a lesson harder if anybody doesn't understand a word I'm saying get let me know okay so now we're dealing with bark apart remember what he said he said that the person the judge needs to be Mattoon bidet but to the den meaning slow and deliberate but he claims the clear Carson's there's something lacking in the explanation because where do you have the idea of a step but like Marlowe's going up ascending the steps have to do with going slow so Rashi wants to fix this by explaining that's what we saw Rashi says that the steps meaning going fast so according to the pre-crisis it doesn't make any sense it doesn't really fix the problem why because he claims that when you go up steps you go slower it's when you're going down you go fast say okay because he's just comparing going up and going down not that the the going up a ramp is slower than the steps people do the power John you know power one of the steps but do you go up steps quicker or down steps quicker down steps quicker okay so now he's playing around with the up-and-down part okay we're tearing everything apart and building it back up so he says it seems that this is what really Rashi say that any judge he called Diane Shayna done Bibbit to any judge that doesn't judge slowly and deliberately it's an aspect of haughtiness he says I'm inside Gaza Ruth Clark an expanded spirit you know a coarse spirits that what does he want to do what does he want to do he wants to show off he wants to show everybody what an expert he is and that he knows how to make connections between precedents previous rulings and how they can all see she's trying to show what a genius he is right he sees people they talk a lot it's better than sometimes silence and basically he contains all the table of content he's not willing to look in a book to you know humble self maybe to learn something he's got it all okay then he's way above any book so what did it what does it come out it comes out that he's not slow he's not being deliberate in judgment and that is her mother Derek guide of the go the word guy in the haughtiness is to raise yourself up as to who's raising up he's talking cuz that's the problem raising yourself up in such a fashion and Rashi says roots are quickly so even before he's quick to cut who's gonna be interesting because the work to cut the the sense to give the verdict quickly when you have a knife it's really sharp we're gonna get into this idea later show fun you know leading anyway so basically what happens is it he was really interesting a Hebrew sentence why they call the sentence the judge hands down the sentence he's not him he's not handing down you know a participle an object and a verb and a period at the end I have got a sentence but it's interesting because in Hebrew the word for a sentence is mish pot and a mish pot is the sentence that he's handing down it's Vegas I don't you guys know this before God created the world he spoke Hebrew he said right obviously that's hard to understand that he doesn't the mouth but the tart tells us he spoke and the world came into being he spoke Hebrew he looked them to the target which is written in Hebrew again what does that mean but he thinks in Hebrew he's a Zionist and he he knows Hebrew so Adam spoke Hebrew to God and all the generations up until the dr. flood the the tower of the tower Babel was whose all one language it was the Hebrew language and then the Tower of Babel meaning the Babel the Babel the not just dispersion we were talking about the word bad Bowl means not understanding each other because the word bad much means confusion right there was God brought confusion of languages and he separated something they said created 70 languages and some of the nation's and they were spread throughout the world so that's when Hebrew was left with just the the holy nation but before that everyone spoke Hebrew and many words are actually throughout the many different languages and nations are Hebrew rooted they're rooted in the Hebrew language I have a friend he's a master of Eid onyx the language of he didn't yeah Isaac Moses in diamonds next to me every day he has on his okay he wrote a book called the word if you ever look it up the word and he baited brings roots of words through all the different languages throughout the world and how they relate to Hebrew and he has a website be has think so kind of we call search engine because you can't make a book anymore it's too big it's way too big it's so fascinating I'll just give you an example the word couple when you in Hebrew you want to double something over look up there you want to make another key What's in you minor can duplicate was just the shock pan Mars how much love they were for couples anyway so anyway just learning Hebrew is like just fascinating brings you back to a higher source higher a higher being higher sense but we were talking about going quickly so in order to show you that what should the judge do the opposite look at psalms this is number four Psalm 75 3 it says the F ha from o 8 mo aid means and the point of time like a festival the truth is it just means time itself get off my weight when I take the time I need me shari mesh poet I shall judge with fairness this King David when I take the time I'm gonna have a better judgment it's going to be truer than if I you know what I mean try to snap my fingers and show off and I'm usually gonna make a mistake but if I take my time I'll have a better chance of being right and in continuation with the same idea look at 73 21 Psalms 321 that's number five on the sewer sheet key it makes live of thee what scum eighths it's when you don't do anything to the water and the flower where they got mixed together you're allowed to ferment right comments is to do like not a quickly the opposite of acting quickly so with my heart ferments not the negative sense of chromosome esse but when I allow my heart to really contemplate well bio tie Ishta name then my mind will be sharpened okay this is King David what a wonderful person whatever you hear again he was like Mary the real real hero was and he says when I when I allow my heart to ferment meaning I'm not so quick to act that my mind becomes sharpened how we doing so far these are like lessons for life for what every day we can implement these things have become better people bring the world to a higher level okay so he said thank you so he says Qiao copani the aqua pani cacilie Arashi the clearquest feels a little bit bothered member rossi didn't bring in one of these of two opinions he only brought the idea that said henchard sits next to them his back that's it okay he didn't bring that other part about the Aylan it's true since his ship here Smith look pushes Brotherhood I see the sadness it was bad the only thing he really talked about was the the juxtaposition was necessary to teach us that the MS of the sanhedrin you know the saint has him it's a 71 members of the High Court as we know right and if you have a doubt you know you don't know a certain law it says to go up to say the the place that God would choose and these are very important verse because it's one of the Merson of that I think except proves that there's such a thing as the oral torah you want truth there's a normal Torah the Torah says the Torah itself says in your society when you're not sure of something go up to you shall I it doesn't say you shall lie the deceivers life anywhere in the five books of Moses it says go to the place that God will choose okay and we know where that is I'm gonna find it for you and looking shuffling chapter 17 in Deuteronomy verse 8 if a matter of judgment is hidden from you between blood and blood between verdict and verdict between plague and play matters of the scoot dispute in your cities I mean obviously you go if you have any question if you go to the court and the court won't make a decision if the court says I don't know that exact circumstance hasn't come to us and we're not qualified to bring it to the next quarter so like you have a city state national so the same thing with us we had in each town and then you had each tribe and then you had a higher court so you went to where where does it say to go is he shall rise up and ascend to the place that a Shem your God shall choose and what do you do there you shall come to the kahani the Levites and to the judge who will be in those days that means today fortunately we don't have the temple so thus it has you know is not sitting there we don't even have the same Headroom but we could discuss how we deal with that today in the meantime what do you do you enquire and they will tell you they're gonna actually respond they're gonna tell you from that place the Shem will choose you should be careful to do everything to do according to everything they will teach you you have to follow what they say well I mean we're talking about a doubt right according to the teaching they will teach you and according to the judgment they will say to you you shall do you shall not deviate from the word they will tell you right or left it doesn't say go to God go to meditate with some closet and whatever God tells you to do you do doesn't say that it says you gotta go to a certain designated place and we know at least if we believe here the Shabbat theme it says in st. Andrew's sat next to be sat on the Temple Mount that's where they were and that's the High Court and that's where you go I heard another beautiful thing today which is read a bearish FL motion way more you have any times it says that the Torah quite a lot there's another proof of the oral torah via da bear that's significant over torsion at the top that's the it's a harsh language it's language of this is what God saying to Moses both laborer laborers to some say over God spoke so that represents the written Torah for Moses to say over and that's a language of a Mira Mira versus deeper deeper is harsh a mere is soft I'm not saying that the the written tourists are some saints like extant stuff you can't play with it it is what it is it's etched in stone so to speak and then you have what we call the the more fluid and soft the Oral Torah that is lame were so that it says God spoke to Moses saying all those times it says it it's God spoke that's like directly from God that's the written Torah to Moses to tell over it was obligatory for Moses the leading the rabbis to tell over and that's the Oral Torah okay back in our text so what was bothering him he says modely Rashi how does Rashi color and say what we just said it all he said was about said Heather's sitting next to the altar and and then he fails to Matt bring the other two opinions so what did yes what did Rashi seek to bring such a thing so now is going to try to explain that it seems the best way to explain this is that both Barca Parra and Remy Elias are they both thought that perhaps what that don't ascend the steps they're not step build an altar ins instead that the word out okay this is going to be a very important lesson to understand the Hebrew language within the Torah you may not apply them in everyday spoken Hebrew but it probably does that the word I'll means it could be actually the pod in other words one thing upon another but the word all does not always mean one thing upon another it could be next and he brings several proof texts so once you understand that I'll doesn't have to mean a pod he's telling us what the push up shot is now you know that when it says the word don't go up a pod by author don't descend next to my altar and where's that that's where the sentences because above the whole connection here but he says like this the word alchemy Mohnish actually a pod one on top of another and that would be the most simplest explanation but it can also mean next to excel so here's an example if you look in and this is number seven an exodus 20 verse 21 no sorry that's how we're translating it if you look at Exodus 20 21 right you show slaughter besides it first listen you know you know you never slaughter and fish you never slaughter the animal the animals slaughtered next to the altar and in which corner is very well described so we already know from our own verse that it's not on the altar either but if you go to the number eight numbers 22 verse 20 next end it says the bazaar bofta I'm sorry that says hola Mata Manasa so it's describing weird the different twelve to twelve tribes in the desert how they were positioned around the are echoed around the Michigan you had the 12 tribes three on each side so where they were positioned there was no such thing as one tribe on top of another there was a tribe next to another tribe clear as day so we see the word Olaf or the word out meaning it could mean next to and we know that like I said already you don't slaughter on the altar the slaughter is done next to the altar so with there's an interesting because we're not going to leave the push-up shot you have Russian shot meaning the simple meaning as well as the drush so what we're doing is we're taking what we learned below above because it's above so the word excel we're going to wear by next to we're also going to learn upon in both ways it's like in other words as a way to learn both so now we know it's as a longish party these are the laws you should place before them has evolved the vow is any tooth tooth means totally coppicing both sides whatever applies to here applies to there whatever plastic there applies to here so what are we here just like above you're supposed to place the the Hulk and the mishpokhe to the judges meaning above just like after the words of a gala Misha theme it says you should place before them you're supposed to the judges have to keep the law they're not above the law have you ever heard such a thing I think there's a controversy in America they have this problem do you think you don't talk about there's certain people like the Clintons they're above the law right there certain people are above the law it's not supposed to be anyway judges are not above the law so just like I have to give the judges the law they have to apply it right to teach them that's how they have to behave so - now we understand what it says Michaela is gonna play backwards also it was a said no somehow folk mishmash and hustle Amala tossing lift and gum it'll be spotty okay and if that's the case he says there's still difficulty cuz we're hey from Deep Ellum Allah min a had the honey he's not sure what does it mean where do you understand above that we're talking about the laws of the judges so he says absolutes with certainty that we've learned that because the Sanhedrin sits next to the altar and that we're going to get into this whole idea what is it about the altar what is it about what is the altar we bring our sacrifices what why is it called a Balter of earth why is it an altar of Earth what's the name for man I've done we're to become from become from the soil the soil is very low a low substance right it's heavy and it's low does God want our sacrifices no what does he want what does God wants he doesn't what our sacrifices so now in the last paragraph on this page the mush moot the inferences of the argument between Barca Parra and rebel yessir as we already mentioned but the opinion of Rebbe of Barker para was to explain the verse in its most simplest upside in an expanded fashion which means he's adding a pod what is the simple explanation and what was that then they are sitting by the his bath in other words what he says you should be slow in judgment it's because they're sitting there he's he's adding on we already know the pleasure shot acquaint Arashi is that the same hazardous it immensely altered so he's adding this idea by those who are sitting next to the altar they are they should be Maru so they shouldn't run meaning this should be Matunuck that then they should judge slowly not in the way of hardiness and after the fact that you are sitting now by the altar what is the altar this is it drum roll please the altar represents a mire Kulu are gathered enough on it teaches about humility the altar teaches about ability because it is made from the earth and the earth not only that it's also called God's altar from the aspect that it's called God's altar what does God was looking to him none it's 51 look at number 9 the sacrifices of God are what what are the sacrifices of God a broken heart a what rakesh borrow a broken spirits you will not despise a broken and crushed hearts God will not turn away it's two things and say rule othrys abara lave nish bar good mentality look to Tim said God will not despise push away the grade he will uplift we have to come to a Shem with our broken hearts with our open hearts with their honest hearts so apparently according to the Caparo markup or this is ad rush this was but it's all based on the I didn't send Headroom is sitting there okay keep shot at the Med fish intimate aberrant being unified perhaps it's not exactly the same concept but it's still there and according to Remini Ezzor he explains in a way than you have to me with the Russia and upshot are one so it apparently according to bucket are they're a little bit different quite the Ramirez are the same meaning like this shorten is your diet what is the accomplishment what does the Torah want to what according to reveal is or what is the turban to accomplish it wants to war the dye on the worn the the judge who's sitting by the MS bath what not to tread on the hands of the holy people right well I'll let the Manos don't go up these steps Keshawn Moshe us an edge because that's what this in had in the city the oh the Shama by malos and when you go up there and if you would go up in steps then you would it would look like you're walking on their heads if they're sitting in close proximity and let's say you're standing on the other side of the plant of the room what do you see with your own eyes people walking up a ramp it looks like they're walking on literally on their heads because they're sitting in a horseshoe fashion on the floor on the Temple Mount you've seen the movies now try to imagine it the real thing hopefully one day we'll have it and someone's morphing up the ramp it looks like they're on there they're welcome on their heads to give an illusion like perception he's using the literal perception to explain that that's wrong meaning the the Sanhedrin the judges should not walk on everyone his head because of the juxtaposition of what we had before and what we have after so he he also learns that I think as a cobbler Homer we just see what he says here so what he gets like the middle of the paragraph he says like this the other story he called kiasu percussion he al Roche basket outs it's really upon their heads you shouldn't walk Thiago foe will turn up so it's like a question well only in their heads not supposed to walk but on their bodies you could walk that doesn't make sense so what does it mean on their heads meaning on them on their hands of the holy people and without that Volvo but I have thought I would have thought don't go up steps in it ain't ball game shooter that it's only the simple explanation no also you the the kilo rocks of Micra this macabre home marshes of Harrah's she sure is the aim Cayman Island I know you up Seija and that's when the carbon home man ain't LUMO team Bashara ah that's what we pretty much said before you might have thought that only applies to either Colleen or other people but when it came to the Diane you might think you know I think the judge you might think no he should put himself way above that's why the tour is telling us no it comes and gives us the sleep with this extra learning that the sentence is not above anybody they want respect after aren't in order to be admitted on to the senator they have to be a you know perfect character and it's not by popularity vote it's not how much money they have it's not how many you know previous ancestors they had as judges and their family it's it's based on their abilities their character okay now we're going to finish it off a little bit with this idea of what is bribery to bribe this is also like a warning because we're gonna see right away there's all these laws how judges should act and it shouldn't take bribes a bribe you called the money the bride the person's not the bride it's the money and what happens let's say you're the judge and I meet you and I'm gonna what's the word I'm gonna bribe you right I'm gonna act as a bra I'm gonna give you money do you know how you're going to judge of course you do the moment you take the money you already know the outcome so that's the opposite of judging fairly and it's the opposite of judging slowly shallow you folks have been mayor I meet side cabal says a chauffeur that one should not is a warning to the judges don't cut the dead don't don't meet out the sentence don't cut the the the verdict quickly from the aspect of receiving any kind of bribe the actual worth shot had shot for bribe is from a concept or sure who had that he sharp meeting to say he had no new honey note new and the Cobb Lou is not super fun that the one who gives the bride and the one who receives them ride they have one mine of one mine said only their like one person a Matt got no sub of hitters that Camila show Cod show fan is going with the money not on the person she says it's a lusty douche a hot shoe caddy sharp like in the mirth just the proof texts proverbs 27:17 verse 10 is 10 in the source sheet proverbs 27:17 it just shows you the word god yeah odd means sharp and when you sharpen a knife it comes down to one point so even the word fi means five can mean one but it means sharp that when you bring that to a point it's a very sharp singular point so he says when when that sharp what happens you cut quickly right if you ever notice you want to cut something if you have a dull knife it could take you forever right you don't cut a steak with a butter knife all right I'll take your bread Mike Pence out ten to the steak is but the idea is the sharper the knife the quicker it's cut so this whole idea is that when you take the shelf at the the the Mishpatim is already cut it's already been determined quickly which who the winner is based on this is to the judge this is the whole idea here that's what we're trying to say there's also connection if you notice the wallet directly this is the a lavish party these are the judgments what that you should place before them who's them judges so you're saying you just push that we're all judges every day I judge everything in my life you know i judge you by the questions just asked I judge you by the clothes you wear okay okay I you know we're constantly judging so whatever applies to the judges applies to us as well on some level come on okay so he says so we land we last ended with this person in Proverbs Kiko cup I did Nick revolution Colombia Felicia then so when you give the verdict it's called meeting out the verdict meeting it out cutting it it's in Hebrew cutting out the judgment which is and someone who is slow in judgment so that he's not cutting quickly he's not cutting it quickly he says it's similar to someone who cuts with a knife that's not so sharp so that is not gonna cut quickly but when you receive when the receives when the judge receives something in return right whether it's his money so then he immediately makes it's as if he's using a sharp knife and he's cutting they did that did quickly and and there's no need for him to be sober to but then to notice himself knows that the longer he draws it out it's not so good he's already made the decision which is based on bribery he doesn't need any more clarification because he's clear how much he received and who who gave it had rich waves been announced the verdict he's already concluded in his own mind who is right based on what was given to him that's why we call the money show God because it's Cod because it's sharp he uses the word mamamoo who died before taken it Mara it's the money it's another person it's the money that caused that was sharp and caused the judgments come so quickly right and to be no sign okay there's this last important point I want to talk about it's a perky I vote it says that the money is called so hot as we said true five that's because I'll say if you look at perky evokes 511 it's the last thing on our sheet number 11 this word comes through world parabola line meaning destruction construction comes to the world even though I did even if it means the oppression of the day of the judgement meaning if the person is innocent and you don't tell me is innocent today you wait that's called oppression of judgments and the corruption of judgment you evils is in not being strength that that's shortcut that's the corruption and because of those who misinterpret the Torah so destruction bad things come to the world on account of these three things we just learned about two of them one is the the person who's righteous you should let them go free immediately if they're guilty you should wait okay don't take bribery and push them you know out quit him give the fair judgement but do it deliberately and patiently and this is hopefully I'm doing this right and because of those who misinterpret that so hopefully I won't be missing to agree good thorough I think you all guys I think you all agreed that whatever I said you were already taught at mother's womb it all resonates and it sits well and you can see now at the target cell because does this really make sense when you go back right and alter earth you shall make for me your make me forgot something an altar which is made out of Earth which is very lowly and you know full of humility and you slaughtered here it upon it it has to be slaughtered next to it so we already know now we're talking about thing that is next to it and this is a beautiful you know besides the different kinds of offerings God says wherever I commit my name to be mentioned we know where that is okay that is in the temple where we mentioned his name and I shall come to you and bless you and when you make for me an altar stones do not don't go that view don't take metal this is an inanimate object it doesn't feel anything but don't bring any because somehow we are atoned for sins that have to do with violence okay this you don't bring today in our bacon essence and our shoes we don't bring guns we don't bring weapons now today because we have security issues it is permissible but it should be covered it should be covered you don't bring weapons of destruction into a place where you find life where you find extended life this is where and you don't ascend my altar it's called God's altar on steps so that your nakedness would not be uncovered upon it what is it talking about this really the stones have feelings so it's the idea that it's a copper foam and it's a a priori argument meaning and logical conclusion that if the stones are ashamed by your nakedness how much more so you're not allowed to shame degrade other people we have to vote and these are your ordinances the valve took and connected both sides because what you would thought it was just the contine or a regular person that couldn't degrade other people we already know going up means going quickly so even the judge has to go slow but other people as well you might have thought that the judge should instill some kind of fear and be let's say nasty or mean I don't know exactly what he used to do to do that but no he's not he has to keep the tour and he has to walk in the tour just like everyone else and his merit our honor is earned by his actions not by his robe or the length of his robe and these are the ordinance you should place before them all the laws were about to hear are not just for judges but mainly for judges okay so we accomplished a lot in a short period of time I'm open for questions I want to hear questions listen argue with me say it doesn't make sense can't be [Music]
