Naso - 7th Portion

Join me as we learn Kumish for Shabbos, the seventh Torah reading of Parshas Nosei. Verse 84, chapter seven. Yesterday we read about the dedication of the last six tribes that brought to the dedicating of the Tabernacle. The day before was the first six tribes. The Torah now concludes, this is the dedication of the Tabernacle, the dedication of the altar. The Yimei Moshiach on the day that it was anointed, the Nesi'ei Yisrael, from the elders, from the leaders of the Jewish people, when they anointed, uh, when the when the altar was anointed, what did they bring? A tally of Karei Kesef Shteim Esrei, there were 12 silver bowls, Mizrakei Kesef Shteim Esrei, there were 12 silver basins, Kappos Zahav Shteim Esrei, and 12 gold spoons. Rashi Bimei Moshiach, what does it mean on the day that it was anointed? Rashi explains, B'Yom Yimshach, the same exact day that they anointed the the altar, he Kriv, they brought the sacrifices. Mani Mikayin, what do I have from this? Why does it then say Acharei Yimshach, after it was anointed? She'Nimshach Techilah, that first it was anointed, v'Acharei Kakh Hikrivu, and only afterwards did they bring the sacrifices. So then maybe it means after they anointed it, that's when they brought it. Acharei Yimshach L'Acharei Zman, maybe they did it a later time. L'Yibuy L'Lamed B'Yimei Moshiach, She'Nimshach B'Yom, maybe it's not telling me that it was that exact day, maybe it's just telling me that it was by day and not by night. K'She'Omer, but then when it says B'Yimei Moshiach, the time that he anointed it, L'Madanu She'Nimshach B'Yom, we already know that it was by day. So Mah Ta'am L'Eimar, so then what's the verse coming over here to tell me? B'Yimei Moshiach, in the day that it was anointed, B'Yom She'Nimshach Hikriv, it's coming to teach me that it was the actual day of the anointing of the altar that they actually act as well brought the sacrifices, and all the sacrifices brought it for the dedication of the Tabernacle. Karei Kesef Shteim Esrei, Heim She'Nis'u, These are the same ones that the that they donated. There was nothing that got ruined in between. That means the exact ones that they brought to the Holy Temple, those were the ones that were used for all the Temple and everything stayed proper and nothing got ruined in between. Verse 88. Verse 85. The weight of each silver bowl was 130 shekel. Of silver. And there was 70 shekel was the all the the silver The silver all the basins were 70 shekel. If you take the entirety of all the weight of all the vessels that were given, would be shekel would weigh than 2400 shekel according to the sacred shekel. Why does the Torah have to repeat it again? If you just do the math. Count each one of the tribes. Count what they gave. Do the math together and you get a total. Why does the Torah have to give me a tally as if I can't do the math on my own. Because when it said 130 and it didn't say clearly what kind of shekel. Repeats it again. Therefore includes all of them that all the vessels that they gave were when we talk about the weight, we're talking about the sanctified weight, the holy weight which was much higher value. All the silver of the of the vessels teaching us that every single vessel in the Holy Temple was exact. Each one he would weigh it individually and then put it together and see that the weight was exactly the same that everything should be exact and precise to its measurement and weight. Verse 86. There were 12 gold spoons filled with incense. I saw each spoon weighed 10 shekels. Again, in the value of the holy shekel. If you take the value of all the gold spoons was 120. Why does it have to be repeated again if we already learned by every single one of the tribes that it was 120? If it says if it says if each one was of gold and its weight was 10 shekels of weight of silver. If you look at it, it's very hard to understand. Is it that the spoon was gold but if the weight was of silver or that it it was of silver and the weight was of gold? The shekels of And because if you weigh gold and silver, it's not the same. So, which one was it? Therefore, the verse is to tell me the actual spoons were gold. They actually weighed versus they would weigh it against silver to know what the weight was. Verse 87. All the total the total of cattle that were brought as an ascent offering was 12 bulls. rams. Sheep 12 young lambs as well as 12 young he goats that were brought for a sin offering. 88. And all the total of cattle that were brought for a peace offering was 24 bulls. 24 oxen. 60 ram. He goats 60. 60 lamb. This was the dedication offerings that were brought to the altar after the altar was anointed. Beginning later on the same day on the 1st of Nissan for the next 11 days, the day of Rosh Chodesh and the next 11 days when the sacrifices were brought. Verse 89, and when Moshe would enter into the tent of meeting to speak with him. He would hear the voice of God speaking to itself, meaning may I like a greatest which was coming from between of the crewman Allah arena eaters which was above the ark of the covenant the ark of the testimony from between the crewman by a double a love and it spoke only to Moshe. As we're going to see Rashi explains. Shakes of machine shop says that seemingly if you look at the verse over here, you have two conflicting verses until Bosch Lucia have a third verse that comes and settles the here and then I'm going to give us the explanation. What are the three what are the verses? In the book of Leviticus it says love me God spoke to him from the tent of meeting from the tent he was outside the curtain because of then if you look back in the book of Exodus then you about to eat come like a potato then we'll speak to you from above the ark from on top of the capers. So which one is it that he go into the behind the curtain or was he standing outside by the curtain? I have now this verse comes and explains it. What is it? Moshe Moshe would walk into the tent of meeting or while he was standing in the tent of meeting not that he went into the Holy of Holies while he was in the Tabernacle while he was in the holy place of the Tabernacle he would hear the voice that would emanate from the from the ark from the Holy of Holies. What does this mean? The voice would come out from heaven which would emanate from between the cherubim and from there not would go to the tent of meeting where Moses was standing and that's where Moses would hear it. He would hear the voice. You would think being that Moses was the only one that heard it, it was a very soft voice. Therefore, the Talmud therefore the verse says the voice not that it was meaning the voice telling us it was the same booming voice that was heard by Mount Sinai. What's the difference? The difference was that when he met the came to the entrance of the tent of meeting, entrance of the tabernacle, the voice stopped and didn't go out. That was the miraculous nature of this voice. Though it was a booming voice that Moses heard, nobody else heard it outside of tabernacle. What is the word speaking? Being talked to. It's like the terminology that the Torah uses the way of respect that God is talking to himself and Moses just has the ability to listen into the conversation that God is having with himself. He loved and he spoke to him. If you already said that he spoke to him that was speaking to him, why does he have to continue and say again that he spoke to him? Seemingly seems extra. All these times when God spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting, it excludes who he would be talking to, only to Moses and not to anybody else. That's why the Torah says and it spoke to him not to Aaron. When it says he spoke to Aaron, it will tell us that Aaron was included as well. But generally it was only speaking to Moses. This concludes the Torah reading of Naso. This is the largest Torah reading single Torah largest Torah reading in the Torah of verses.
