One Claim of Korach against Moshe with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] in bamidbar tess zion pasik alef the client car explains that the whole first verse is a whole story and there are so many levels to this story but he's going to i'm going to discuss just one of them so the posix says who is kara he's been yitzhar then ben levy already each and every name there is a story and who did he take the the korach vedas so he took these two men dustin and aviram who are by the way the children of rouvain bene eliav is of the tribe of lay of rouvain and along with him on ben pellet again binay revain altogether those three are descendants of rouvain so the cleocard wants to explain that one of the reasons that he took an argument against moshe one of the things that really bothered korach was that he was passed over moshe and our own were both brothers born from the first born of kahat so kahat had four sons amram yitzhar khamron and uzil so moshinaru come from amram korach is from yitzhar the second born and so he says well shouldn't i be the most fitting to be the second meaning in place of our own and who was placed as the leader of kahat that was none other than elitsofan ben uziel so the fourth born of kahat was placed as the leader over kahat and he really felt that he was dissed that he was passed over and it caused him a lot of bitterness that one of the arguments and perhaps even one of the main arguments is that he was upset about the whole idea of who would be the servants in in the temple i.e the replacements of the firstborn rhuvain was the firstborn and it was taken away from him truth be told it was not taken away by moshe it was already taken away by yaakov but what the taina of korach was moshe you made the whole thing up and in order to show that was what he was saying the medrash explains this famous madrish what did karach take the torah korach took a baguette full of tachylis entirely of this particular color and asmose is new does it need any fringes if the whole idea is to be a leader meaning to remind you of what you need to know the whole begging is of the particular color that's supposed to remind you of what you need to know so what do you need is it hive or is it and the second thing that the medrash in time brings down is that he asked a question if you have a room full of sifrey torah now the torah wasn't written yet in its full form so it's an academic question if you have and you're giving us the mitzvah mezuzah so if you have a room full of sephora torah which each one has a portion which of the mezuzah itself what would you need a mezuzah on the door as a reminder what would it serve as the sa it's very similar to the question about the taheilis or let's say the citrus so the clear car actually says i get the idea of tihalis because it says korak very simply just turn back one page and you see the whole parties of tits's so it makes sense where the medrash got the idea that korach took sitsis and was trying to show up and argue with moshe that you made this up a if an am kadosh everyone is holy you don't need a leader that's the first thing and the second idea he even asked where does this idea come from that the mezuzah is what he took so he's quoting from our chapter verse 27 and over there it says so they got themselves away from near the dwelling of korach dason and aviram from all around das and went out erect at the entrance of their tents and their wives and their children and their infants now in hebrew it says they went out a wrecked at the entrance of their tents what is posted at the entrance of their tents other than a mezuzah however the he the hebrew of arashi says the kuma zakufa they went out standing upright erect to actually insult and vilify and it's explained because of the way the grammar is that the word nitzavim is used to modify yet they went out so going out is an action moving from place to place but nitzav describes the inactive state of being erect or entering that inactive state so basically what rashi is saying they had an air of erect bearing and that was done defiantly now what i mentioned at the beginning the clio car says it's one continuous thought the whole storyline begins with vika korach and tilbane ruvain because these dustin and abiram as i mentioned are from that he took his own claim and he took bine ruvain's claim and so there we see so then we see how he took up the claims of binet ruvain not necessarily because moses was the one that took it away from him meaning away from the bine ruvain that was yaakov but moses also played a part so the kriyakart says like this mikhail makom ali de shataksser called sarah belleha this is a concept that what should return to every owner whether it's an owner of authority or even the truth is owner of things things will always be returned to the rightful ownership so he used this claim in order to regain the allies of bene rubin that eventually you should have this and here's an opportunity to take advantage agree with me join my fight against moshe and aron really against hashem because of another concept that khazal bring down in sanhedrin so not only were they several places mentioned that they were arguing against moshinaro but it mentions other places they met they were contending against hashem himself and why they were contending against hashem himself is a whole very deep philosophical argument whether or not because the first clause has the right to make and choose the differences between the different things of his creation such as the difference between israel and the rest of the world or between amnestyra within ami israel and the levine and the kohanim and this is a very deep philosophic philosophical discussion that needs to be um hashed out at a at a different time [Music] is [Music]
