The Sun Will Come out Tomorrow By Rabbi Ari Kahn

so we are here in parad ver and okay so par is going to have some heart problems that we know those of you who are sympathetic perhaps of uh of such things he's going to have some he need yeah he'll need a stent he'll need all kinds of things parro needs a cardiologist okay that's the first thing it's actually interesting because some of the midashim that speak about parro's heart being hardened it's cave Le Paro so they say his heart was turned into liver his heart was turned into liver so we're not we're not pursuing the liver angle right now we uh we did that before class enough but actually what that means even is somewhat of a question but in in ancient in the ancient world the different parts of the body were associated with different types of behaviors so therefore even today you can say oh that person got G or or uh he's got no heart or uh you can keep it going so again I don't know how to associate each and every one of the innards of a human being in terms of what it what and how it affects the behavior rude has to do yeah oh thank you very thank thank you very much for that Jerry I I think what I'm not pursuing that okay I'm I'm I'm leaving that I'm leaving that um so power is going to have some problems now one of the things that we're going to move towards is not just the problems that he has with his heart but also the problems that he's going to have with perhaps with his mind as well or even I'll I'll say it with his intellect because over here there's a question of processing information and how you process and what you're going to do with it and how you're going to respond and maybe even when you're going to respond you know and we're standing here in the background or sitting here in the background and watching things unfold so you know certainly as kids you can we you know watch the plagues and the plagues are exciting you have blood and and kids I think like that and you have blood Dam and you have sarda that's certainly a good one um kinim it's still very popular in Israel um and and and all that I'll say is and and so on and as these things are happening it's kind of like a familiar process and and I will admit that all kinds of commentaries try to make order out of the various plagues or there three and three and four you know as we know from a Yehuda and but but I'm saying even afterwards and then is the first one in each triplet going to be the same the second one's going to be similar and the third one is and and there there is absolutely an attempt to make I would use the word SED out of this maybe that's the right word to use in order to make order out of the out of the plagues which are taking place but I I don't want to get right now into any of the details just like kind of looking from above parro keeps on dragging his feet and like it's kind of like I don't know exactly how to say this is if it's one step forward and two steps back or it's two steps forward and then one step back but um if I knew more about dancing I would actually tell you what Dan's doing but it's it's and and he moves laterally and he does all kinds of interesting moves along the way but he um he doesn't get to at least not in any kind of timely fashion to where we would like him to get to and I what I mean by that is that the the plagues are not really accomplishing what we would like it to accomplish but that's because there's another agenda which is being which is taking place over here which God actually says from really from the very beginning and all that you need to do is just track What God Says to mosha again from the very first conversation all the way through and we keep finding a similar thing which is taking place I am going to do this I'm going to strike him like this and power and and and the and the people will be you will take the people out and you're going to bring them now you can you could fill in the blank here you'll bring them to the land of Israel you bring them to uh you worship God on this mountain to seni you'll take them to serve God in the desert any of the things that you want that all this is going to happen but then God also constantly says consistently says and parro's not going to listen and then I'm going to hit him some more and he's not going to listen going to smack him some more and he's not going to listen I'm going to do it some more and I I'll say again this kind of dance of setting up the Hope oh you're going to do this and you know then you're going to take the people out but power is not going to listen so there is this again going forward and moving back and I want to ruin the whole story for you right now because I I I just want to tell you something about this it's very clear to me and we're going to see this as we proceed that the they going to get out and in the springtime okay pesak always takes place in the spring leaving Egypt is in the spring now some of you could think that yeah of course we leave in the spring and therefore the certain types of celebrations are in terms of the agriculture which then follows the holiday of when we left and it's really the other way around God is going to take us out in the spring because the spring agriculturally has a certain message to it and certain question of Hope if you even will if you want to go further and really think about it then the this during the winter you put things in the ground which is very much wor fall very much like burial and then things come back to life in the springtime the Jewish people came back to life in the spring which means the spring is a time of and over here a nation that comes back to life is a springtime concept and therefore of course they're going to get out of the the spring so as I said I hope I didn't ruin the story for you by telling you when all this is going to happen but there's a direction to it and once you realize this there's also another point so parro over here perhaps thinks that he's in control you know if you're a monarch you would love to believe that you're in control and he probably believes that when he says yes it means yes he says no it means no and he says to and he and the whole time frame which is taking place over here is going to be a result of things that he says and does in his decisions so I have more news for you okay you ready for this parro is not in control thiso is a is a prompt in order for us to be able to tell over the pesak story for our kids and and by the way it says all this in the Torah I'm not quoting verses in order for you to be able to tell your children and so on and so forth yes this whole story over here and what's going on on the parro side of things is that parro just is becoming a character within our story so no parro you're not in charge by the way no parro you don't have agency no parro you're not really making decisions over here parro you're not in control of your heart parro now we'll get to his mind as well how much again he thinks he's in control he thinks he's in control of absolutely everything so I don't know if we want to tell him this I don't know if ruin the story for him but um parro is not quite as powerful as he thinks he is and some point point along the way over here we should come to this realization that this whole story is not about parro this whole story is not about parro this story is about the Jews leaving Egypt and it's about subsequent Generations understanding how we left Egypt and sub substant Generations understanding how God took us out of Egypt and as we mentioned last week substant Generations understanding that God made a covenant with aov and God is going to keep the Covenant so I think there's also some decision to the Covenant which we're going to come back and and see and maybe that will help us understand this a little bit more in a source number one which goes back to last week and mosha finally goes together with Aro and they uh and they uh go to parro and they give him the news so what's the news the news is the news is you know God said uh you know if you want to follow the movie Let My People Go right it's a good line I don't know why we should go with anything else Paro and Par says hasem is by the way he most likely did not say Hashem me sorry yeah is who is this God I Ed this because I think there's a little bit of disdain in his voice who is this God that I should listen to his voice and and send off Israel so it's it's already his question twice and I don't know God I'm not I'm not sending off Israel and he says the god of the Hebrews has called us we want to just go for three days which of course is an intriguing question what if he said yes to the 3 days of course the answer is he couldn't even say yes for 3 Days your stock broker still I was nice because I could have said you're drug dealer so I cuz he couldn't even let them go for three days let let us let us have freedom of religion let us go for 3 Days let us go serve our God I hope you love the threat lest you get struck lest you be struck now right now he mentions two things which we can very easily associate with plagues so it's like saying if we will once again quote Dylan a hard rain is going to fall I know you think I'm mixing my metaphors but I mean we're g a hard rain barad barad a hard rain is going to fall but I mean things are ominous things are not going to work out for you and then just realize something power most likely is not all that accustomed to taking messages like this and if you want we most likely as of this point have foreshadowing from three of our plagues because earlier earlier mosha was told that tell parro that if he that the Jewish people are my firstborn and if he doesn't let my firstborn go then I'm going to kill his firstborn so therefore the plague of the firstborn was again at which point they said that's interesting we're not going to deal with it because that's a shote and then a b issue so we're right now in the middle but there was foreshadowing of that plague over here and de is interesting because they're being mentioned over here so no we don't have to at this point tell them oh yeah and by the way we got Dam and Kim you know coming that is coming up and uh get ready because all this is happening and then there is some discussion how long each one lasts and and what the response is but I I I want to continue a little bit more over here so that was back there in par in per now we're in V Source two I will not pronounce that as Elohim I don't believe that's the case I'm going to make you as a p more powerful than parro is iron will be your now n is very interesting I mean there are those who try to take us to n from the word for the word somebody who speaks he's going to be your spokesperson but you do realize that there is a place over here that I can kind of get tempted to see mosha as some kind of a God or a demigod and and by the way recognize something in Judaism we've done many things we've never gone that far as turning Moshe into something more than he was quite the opposite is mosha right we we we when mosha is not around we we bring him down a level mosha can survive for 40 days and 40 nights with that food well the answer is yeah he can but and it's a question anyway why would you think he wouldn't have food he went up to heaven he went up to where the M factory is why couldn't he get things wholesale right right right up there like why would you even think that he has no food with him over there only down below they miraculously get food by the way we are a crazy people right I'm saying we are a crazy people cuz we're doubting God and we ate Mone for breakfast I'm just saying is that that we have problems anyway going back to to this really interesting turn of phrase and I've told you I think a number of times already that I I once read an article from a psychiatrist who dealt with people who have Jerusalem syndrome and the non-jews who have jusan syndrome walk around thinking they're God and the Jews who have jusan syndrome walk around thinking that they're the Messiah that even a crazy Jew realizes he's not God and maybe his mother told him he's Messiah I don't know I mean it could be could also be no but I'm saying it's interesting that there's a line that we didn't cross and as you realize in certain other religions that line between man and God gets a little bit more blurred but even when we're crazy we don't we don't we don't cross over or blur that line so which is why this this is really interesting so this is for Michael now is that parro who himself is a God so this becomes all the more interest he you ready whis he whispered that to you he whispered it to you right I I I saw I know I saw I saw he was I knew he got I knew he got it and he's and he's too polite okay but but Michael you agree with me on that right okay so that's all that's all I needed today we can go now anyway that that parro who is a self-appointed self styled God therefore for someone to outg good him becomes really all the more interesting because I mean just think of parro's being a brute I mean I told you already a couple weeks ago who we compared parro to but he he's a brute and brutes and he's a bully and what a bullies need to be they need to be smacked down by a bigger bully that's that that's that's what they need and that's actually what's going to take place let's continue now you're going to say everything command and aon's going to speak which means you're in too high of a level even to speak to him Aon will be your spokesperson so again I love these turns afraid and he will send Ben Israel from his land but what's the problem you all know the answer already what's the problem it's not going to happen until the spring okay so just just realize that because I don't know what the date is right now maybe if we were had lots of time we can go and Trace every single madash and try to recreate how long each one took but again I I already told you the answer when are we getting out pesak right do we worry about pesak months in advance you go yes yes yes we do no no we don't we don't so we do so this is months before months before we don't have to worry about all of this but we all know when it's happening why because every single year P comes in the spring good next verse backwards as I said one step forward and now you'll decide one or two step okay now parro's heart God says I'm going to harden his heart and I will increase the number and here we have two words which are interesting and again if we were serious maybe one of the other classes today will'll be more serious if we were serious we would then try to break down what exactly is an oat and what exactly is a mate and God says that I will I'm going to rain down on him there's going to be a whooping that's what he's going to say there's going be a whooping over here and I maybe God didn't speak that way and I am going to uh my my my signs my oat mofed wonders and then so so again so we had one step backwards now the second right but he's still not going to listen to you and I'm going to then raise my hand in Egypt with a great deal of judgment so I'm going to say it again God makes his promises God's going to do this and I'm going to give him this and he's going to and and he's going to let you go but not yet why not yet I'm I'm going keep on doing this so he may as well answer already why not yet because it's not the spring yet so so at least now we know where we're heading with all of this P has a word which is really good which I hope you all now recognize why this word is used why was that emphasized and Egypt's going to know that I'm God why was that important because perfect because parro said is it he says who is he I don't know so what does what does God say you're going to know you are going you are going to know and by the way more importantly than than parro knowing you know what's more important that we're that we're going to know perfect that we're that we're going to know so you see there's this wonderful dance taking place again I'd love a choreographer to do this we we have a great dance we go forward we go backwards we go another step backwards we go a step forward forward and we'll continue they and they of course did what they were told to do skipping a little bit so now you realize the O and the m just now got separated so do do for us a wonder and it will then become how do you want to translate in I'm going to avoid all problems and call it a reptile okay and it became a reptile by the way that is very cool really is so he brings his witches he brings his uh his sorcerers they did the same thing now you realize something over here Aon does what he does with the word of God and these people do this either by black magic or that God allows this to happen now you can now ask me a real simple question which you'll know the answer because because I'm asking it and that is well how can they do this why would God allow them to do this and what's the answer it's not spring you're there you're you're you're there I say but why why would God do this because that exactly is the kind of thing whereby parro's heart gets hardened which means when he's going to harden his heart I know that you're all thinking that he's just going to give him a lot of cholesterol right right then and he's going to suddenly find himself in this uh Health compromise situation but just realize the narrative itself should be understood not as just these random things taking place they're part of this larger narrative with a really specific agender that we're moving towards which some commentators have pointed out that it didn't say that aon's reptile Aon staff turned into reptile swallowed their staff turned into reptile rather it says that our own staff swallowed their staffs and that that's far more impressive because generally I don't know you got your cane over here gener generally I don't know if I I don't know if you I don't know if you did you try to throw it on the ground did you try to throw it on the ground but uh but it it's indicating that it's the staff that actually swallows the other one and by the way and if that's the case then a second time you just now Source something the miraculous and even if it's his reptile staff turned into reptile swallows up theirs that itself should cuse parro to uh to perhaps rethink his strategy or if not his tactics or maybe even his end game but instead we're told sh that parro and I want you to think about this about how he does this parro because it's really interesting processing parro then gets stubborn and says I'm not saying as God had said so first of all you realize that God in a certain sense is micromanaging that that's the first thing secondly what what brought parro to disability to be stubborn and not to listen and to harden his heart and I think that the answer is that there was a partial Victory what was the partial Victory they also were able to throw the things now they lost the battle but the fact that they had a partial Victory is what gives him this kind of a hope and say yeah I could I could proceed on because look we you know we were also able to do this now if you're going to ask me logic I can't speak about logic about about reptiles that came from staffs I can't say anything about this and certainly ones that swallowed it up if you were asking me to rate this whole conflict over here or this whole competition our own one right any one and and it's a decisive Victory but nonetheless there was enough of a sliver of something which was interesting which I would prefer to believe that God does this or at least allows this and then that gives parro the ability of Harding heart also notice something else because it it's we know that there there is this larger issue that people question about in terms of what happened to parro's Free Will I don't know how much okay there's a mid have an argument about it and then later on the Ramba makes a really big deal about it others who then comment on the rambam says you shouldn't have bothered because it's more confusing now that it was after he explained it than it was before he explained it but nonetheless one of the points in this argument between is one says you know it's really bad because people who want to reject you're going to say oh man doesn't have free will and it says what are you talking about parro in the F in the first five plagues parro hardens his own heart it's only the last five that his heart is hardened now over here was interesting because God says I'm going to harden his heart that was back there in gim then say and which sounds that parro did this to himself so I would say well where did God do well God Did It by allowing the Egyptian to do what they wanted to do by letting them do their black magic and they're doing their magic is what then gives parro his uh his gumption so the other thing that I'll say and I also say this every year I suspect right that it's and I tease this out of the sorno I don't know if he were in the room if he would say that's what I meant or not I think he would but what does power want right if we were doing the spice girls who would say what does parro want what does he really really want right so what does parro really really want what's the answer God good he wants to hold on to his slaves that's right and who's bothering him mosha Aon God this all all of this is bothering him you can continue and dumps for there is bothering him which means what the plagues actually do is take away his Free Will and cause him to bend a knee and do what God wants him to do so what does God them do he gives him back his free will to do what he really wants to do in order to counter the plagues which are bothering him which means god hardening his heart doesn't take away his free will it actually gives him his free will to do what he wants to do because it was the plagues that took away the Free Will so by saying this I just flipped everything over and essentially solved this presumed theological problem and I'm going to say it again over here we're told both things God hardens his heart he hardens his heart and I think the thing in the middle that God allows the Egyptians to do these these MIM as well is part of the issue so let us continue so you realize we're skipping a little bit and God calls Moses look parro's heart has become hard C he has he has hardened his heart and he's not sending out the people he refuses to send the people out so skipping a little bit God Says by the way notice you'll know getting back to the point of knowledge doesn't know and so on and so forth so now we're moving over to take your thing and throw it in the water and so on and so and so forth and the blood is simply all over the place and that's probably really horrific it really is most likely extremely traumatic right and this one takes place everything is full of blood and then we're told I skipped a little bit along the way what did I skip yeah no not yet and they couldn't drink any water had done and there's blood all over and now the Egyptian again magicians they do the same thing so I'm going to say it again doubly down on this that they then and I first of all I don't understand the technicalities over here if all the water had already become blood so what water are they using over here I don't know what to say maybe they had some ice in the freezer and it wasn't blood I I don't I just don't know what to say maybe there was some Jewish order I mean there's these wonderful midashim which may or may not beot that if that if a if a Jew right if a Jew and Egyptian were on a date and they're both drinking through the straw in the same cup then he's on this side is coming up what would it be what would what's coming up I say water you don't sure it would probably be like a chocolate moled or something over there and on the on on the other side it's coming up blood so that's pretty unromantic so they be there is water around but first all you realize the silliness of all this if they still have some water and there's no water to drink which is the previous verse and they say I let you know we're going to turn whatever we still have into blood so say okay great you you won the battle but you lost the war over here because guess what now you don't have anything left to drink but what does this accomplish same thing again what does it accomplish it hardens his heart which means right after we told so even the again just look at the way the battle takes place you have on the one hand again round two who wins round two now round two again mosha and our own team they won everything was turned into the blood pyro and his people were a weak now they're going to have nothing to drink but that last little thing they're going to turn into blood oh look we can do this also so power okay listen I'm not so impressed what do you mean you're not so impressed we're going to say it again when we're told that power hardens his heart you realize that God is facilitating him to hard his Harden his heart by virtue of The Magicians being able to do that which they do are we good we're good so we'll skip a little bit they go digging and P what's all this goes on for a week we're going to move on to our next plague right let my people go again if you refuse you'll be struck with frogs so we're going to save you a lot of trouble over here it actually works and the place gets full of frogs they come up and cover all of Egypt but in what do they do they bring some more frogs now again just you get you get the point already right but then bringing more frogs by the way the commentaries point out that these frogs weren't even edible CU just in case there were French jeans and the it's some of the so they couldn't turn this into into some kind of uh of a fancy meal but but they get okay let's do let's let's right can I please have some more plague that that's what they're doing more more PL but but I'm going to say it again but what does this accomplish so you already know all the answers because I told you this is not that complicated now now this part gets interesting first I'll so they go and they do this again but this time parro does something else cuz even parro now is getting tired cuz now parro could have said now well look my guys can do this also you know we we have we're we have plague squared now because we got even more frogs than we would have had but instead power does something else and this is what I want to pay attention to poweru elhem parro says pray to God now do you recall that par was saying I don't know who this God is I don't know anything about him and who's this God and now what is he saying now pray to God can you please get rid of them which means you realize now that his people bringing more frogs was what what's the term atic Victory what is that the airic Victory and it's not one which is actually taking him to where he needs to be and that is it's it in the larger scale it's it's silly but you understand why they're doing it but paru himself seems somewhat defeated and he says pray to God get rid of the frogs the I'll send the people out and serve God so you realize now already right we're up to two power has already broken down now right but what's the problem you're all for God already it's not the spring time yet what's the problem it's not time we're not there yet so we got to tell power no no no no no be strong don't give in we're not ready for this yet now parro does something real so something really interesting happens now says to so I'm just going to tell you what he says because the whole verse is interesting but he says when should I pray to remove all the frogs from all over the place except from the river when do you want me to pray so is this interesting that's the first question is this interesting he said please pray so he says when but by the way you all realize that what he should have said is I'll pray immediately let them go right now and let's move on but we have a problem it's not the spring yet okay good at least now we're getting someplace says tomorrow now you find that funny right the as you said in order to know that there is none like God now yeah so I'm listening to it I'm wondering going is testing out this new thought right okay you can start a can you stop it can you stop it okay good good good excellent excellent but but that didn't come from parro that came from mosha parro said pray for me and Moshe said what time so so that's what I'm saying that's why it's more interesting because again what we would have anticipated those of us who cover political Affairs what we would have had anticipated would have been that okay you can just pray for me okay set them free right now and I'll pray know I'm not going to get into negotiations right what you have to do what we have to do in order to make this whole deal work but but it should have been immediately okay let's do it and mosha by saying when just now first of all aside from anything else he set up the possibility for a delay second thing is now why did pyro go for it which means pyro could have said do it right now right what do you mean when now why this frog is all over the place right parro is obviously hysterical yes parro is in crisis okay parro is having his problems there are frogs all over the place so much so that parro was willing to say about this God that he had not previously recognized please pray to this God and get rid of all of these things and Moshe says sure when do you want me to do it I'm going to say it again that is such an interesting response from mosha and that's what needs to be processed which means paru then okay that that's why that's what I I wanted to double down on as much as we love to say that it's all about power's heart do you realize right now that there are Mind Games taking place that's the problem right now is that when Moshe says when and then parro thinks about this and processes and then says okay tomorrow so that itself needs to be unpacked needs to be understood because all of that was far more interesting and you're probably thinking yourself was this their last year and like did I miss this last year it was here well it did give you time to claim credit okay good happened right you could have done the press conference good good let's look atashi pray today that it's going to happen tomorrow now I'm I'm not exactly sure whyz says was Babylonian long before he was Riva in surra during the time one of theim and that means that this is a relatively old tradition real again one of the golden really hundreds of years before the iban Ezra he says double negatives don't get fooled he says that generally people will ask to remove something which is bothering them immediately so now if you don't know this about the Ezra probably more so than any of the other classical commentaries he's quite sympathetic to astrology if you actually look at the comments of the Ezra and you you'll see that there's even astrology charts where you explain certain things based upon astrology as much as the ramom completely rejects astrology having any significance whatsoever the as I'll say it again the ezzar was far more sympathetic so he now he just now threw in an astrological explanation of this tradition from and he says that probably realized that it was some astrological issue which allowed the frogs to come and therefore Moshe knows this which means again he has his magicians and all that mosha really is is an astrologer so mosha is telling you what's going to happen because mosha knows what's going to happen but it's not mosha and it's and and so on he thinks that the time must have now arrived so he thinks that when Mo he thinks again going back to the Mind Games he says please pray mosha says when so he thinks that mosha thinks that he's going to say immediately because mosa knows that immediately is when it's going to happen so therefore he says tomorrow was that exhausting see yeah but but but again I'm going to say it again there Mind Games taking place in the EZ's mind and that's how he's explaining what's taking place as I said he threw in this other element do I want to explain all this the the ran also I'm skipping a bit the ran also in Source number six cites this uh opinion of the Ezra I just want you to see how he does it people want to take away bad things immediately and so on then the but what it seems to me that the raan says is that thought that Moshe was asking for time then he says when should I do it is that he thought that there was a weakness in Moshe which means he already has parro stronger at this point and mosha being weak so he gives him a little bit of time because again power is conflicted what's his conflict on the one hand he wants to retain power and that's important Within These negotiations but on the other hand he wants to get rid of the frogs so therefore he wants to be Victorious on both ends and therefore he's willing to give mosha some more time because he thinks mosha can help him with this on the other hand he wants to retain power so therefore parro over here again you have parro with his hardened heart who is is showing weakness but trying to make believe the weakness that is showing is not really weak I hope that made sense the it's similar essentially he thought it's going to happen now I will now be able to prove that Moshe is an impostor and all of this is that mosha just has some information but mosha doesn't really have the power so let's skip down a little bit in Source 11 and I still have to what to resolve over here in Source 11 we've moved on to another plague right same kind of thing send my people let them me so now we're up to and I will show that the land of Goan will be different they won't be over there by the way even though mically this then is projected back words on the other plagues this is the first time that we're told about a difference between the Jews and the Egyptians now there's another word which is introduced so here tomorrow again is introduced into the the oat there's going to be an o tomorrow if I go try to figure out what exactly is the O I can I can now go backwards and say the fact that there is a distinction between the Egyptians and between the Jews and it's not in Goan and it is in MIT and that should be a part of it but also so the word over here could mean Freedom it could be Liberation and we'll skip a a little bit along the way and once again so it works again he goes go serve your God should I ask you again what the problem is I'm not going to ask you already know you already know the problem so MOS says no it's not right for us to do it like that says go and serve he says no we we need to do it a different way and we're skipping so he threw in another thing over here and again by this point it's not a total surprise but it's interesting and pray for me also and pray for me also so again this whole battle which is taking place which is political and it's religious and there's a mind game happening as well I'll pray to God I'll take it away tomorrow so now tomorrow again gets in into this whole thing and presumably because I want to make this easier now presumably mosha could be saying to himself well last time I asked you when you want it to happen he said tomorrow so now tomorrow is part of the the way that we do things right once you said tomorrow for whatever your consideration were even though it was self-defeating and right it was self-defeating because they held on to the frogs another day so now again by this MAA as well it's going to hold on to another day so so mosha throws that in as well but the main thing I want you to get to was that we had this other word which is thrown into the story and that is P that that was and Source 11 and once again we have some triage over here a lot of the commentaries try to understand what exactly is padot in source for in Source 15 the abarbanel tells us that slavery has ended with this the p is an indication again the Jews are redeemed Source 15 Barb that by this point there's now already a change there's a shift and that is represented by this P now already the Jews again I don't know I don't know what to call it liberated are they liberated are they not liberated because there's stages in The Liberation and and and there's stages within leaving Egypt so one of the stages is obvious viously going to be geographical which is they actually leave Egypt one of the stages is going to be political and that is that they no longer have to listen to parro but one of the stages is going to be in terms of relative freedom and that is they are no longer slaves to parro and that's that is a stage which is identified right over here by the by the abarbanel and I think that that's quite important the various sources that you'll look around over here will try to make distinctions between what exactly is as opposed to other words that could have been used and I'm not going to get into all of them there's one thing that I want to point at and that and that will be as far as we'll get to today you'll notice also Source 19 describing the again it gets to this point about tomorrow now look at source 20 now is a little different than why is different than because it added another word Michael you with me on this this is going to get good Michael's going to get it I'm putting pressure on you now zarar now you're gonna get it so he puts a line in the wall now we're used to lines in the sand he puts a line in the wall and he says when the sun comes to this point tomorrow that's when it's going to hit at this particular time yeah so is that interesting okay okay so you want to explain it should I do it or should you do it do it one of the things about parro is that he is the sun god so as the Sun God you would say he's in charge of the Sun and this midash is great it's great because it's saying uh like there's not just there's a line in the sand is that no it's not the sand is that there's a line in the wall and right over here the Sun you know as the it's kind of like a sun dial but as the Sun hits this point over here that's when destruction is going to take place do you realize how this wonderful this zav Reb zav B Lei how he just now completely mocked parro and the Egyptian mythology by saying that essentially the Sun God has no control whatsoever because it's going to be at this particular time it's going to hit by the way if you if you never heard if you say wow that's really interesting well you should have heard it already because it's in Rashi in Source 21 he just didn't tell you who the author was at this time tomorrow at this specific time it's going to uh but the reason I like the midash better is because it spelled out who said it and it also talked about the sun when the sun gets to this particular point and that then uh reveals what's going on and the gur the maharal who wrote again this is commentary on that Rashi so why do say at this time tomorrow again their their concept of time or their ability to track time is not like ours that we can do it to the second with with our various time pieces today and the idea of using the wall and the sun coming to a place so that obviously is informative eight at this particular time when the sun is going to come and hit this line that's the time that this is going to take place now just to make all this interesting because I told you I have to somehow get back to the spring let's go to Source 23 this is the med tan it's also in bid sorry fine it's also in sources Source 23 par par was a long time ago par is Abraham and Sarah and three strangers come in right we're in a different story a different place a different time what does it say when these Angels Came do you recognize the name right go ahead say it don't say same guy just doesn't sound right okay Z same guy said he put a line on the wall when the Sun hits in this particular way in this particular place and this is not talking about time of day what is this talking about the season the time of year and what's it saying well I'll help you a little bit in the springtime when to hit this place next year this time that's when and so on she had already given up by that point she's shocked and says know how can I possibly after I've withered away I'm old how can I possibly have a child and God basically say says you know I'm in charge I I make these decisions so it's interesting just in terms of a possible parallel in ter but it's much sharper I'm just saying it's interesting one can say that am Israel in in Egypt maybe has lost hope and so on and therefore this is a certain it's a microcosm it's if you want the Aramaic you prefer the Zohar term for this it's bizer anpin which is a microcosm that of of this type of redemption in the the Torah itself which is a source describing all of this first of all make ugot and over here we're told that the ugot are ugot mat I'm not going to bother with that right now but later when it says right where what PK is that going to come back but over here what other word was used what did the Z note it's the word at the same time Rashi says this time next year so it's also interesting because now it's it's not just the sun in terms of time of day it's the sun in terms of Seasons which means this time next year which will be when finally the springtime p and it was P because p is in the spring and the following year is born it's that you will all be alive you'll be you'll be whole everything is going to be good and the then spells out a little bit more that so right from the day that was born as in the which says that and then he goes on a little bit more detailed that the 15th of Nissan first day of p and Y is born right right then which means the whole story over here is about is really about the birth of Y it's about the spring things coming back to life an elderly woman who thought that she couldn't possibly have children brings a child into the world all of this is the theme of PES it's a theme of the spring of things coming to life and therefore this this idea of like all the plagues we're watching them you get caught up in the drama and you get caught up in the negotiations and the back and forth and we're not realizing sometimes no no there's really an end game over here and this end game is really about we need to get to the spring I I want to maybe point out just one more thing along the way over here this point about M becomes a much more important concept the M 27 m in 28 they speak about various M if I can say it that way various tomorrows right we should call this The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow right and it goes on and and and it talks about different types of tomorrows when your sons will ask tomorrow but of course that means the future and so on and so on I'm just going to just say that this is a larger issue the is a cabalistic work based upon teachings of the Aral I have three of them for you 29 30 31 and he he makes this observation which he spells out in various places maybe 30 is the best but I'm just going to tell you first and 29 he notes that amalik is going to come and we and we and mosha says we'll go and fight them tomorrow so this delay tactic is one and it's especially with amalik the concept of wait to tomorrow but he said does something else M and then he says is well depends on you want to pronoun first of all it's the idea of compassion but it's what but it's also because what exactly is R is the kind of compassion that a mother has for a child but and as you know are the same letters that's what he points out now in each one of these places in each one of these comments reim and I'll just note one thing at the end of the whole story of you you're going to go and you're going to bring the Corbin PES and Egypt perid bad perid gimmel throws in like a couple of more mitzvot one of the mitzvot we find there is the Mitzvah of pen which is based upon P reim so it's really interesting and also pet also hamar right which is which is am I wrong it's also the same uh the same three letters over here and the idea of p goes back to this point of P so all that I'm noting with all of this is that as we move towards tomorrow and yes we have pesak as a way of memor of remembering what took place and there's also seems to be other mitzvot which include a firstborn again the firstborn that I just would want to think about over here would be a firstborn of a very old woman who has this child and that of course is this you know it's not even tomorrow there it's it's but it is this C and it's this idea of another year at this time we're going to get to the springtime and things are going to come back to life and things are come back to life but we still have this concept that we need to do some kind of a pidion because everything belongs to God and the God God is the one who facilitates this and the then perhaps the first time a person brings a child into the world there's the same miraculous issue that takes place but I'm going to say again it's really interesting that it's the pan haben which is taking place which goes back to this idea of P which is really going to be for us a uh a sign to conclude it's really bad news for parro but it's not about him parro is a prop in a story which we're telling it's a story which we're telling which God is going to make sure that we know and that we remember and we internalize that God is involved in history along the way over here there are things that perhaps we don't really pay attention to or didn't pay attention to but again just this fascinating give and take with the Sun God and trying to uh even show to the sun god the lack of power that he may have tomorrow again for us is the Sun is going to set and the Sun is going to rise and power is going to have more strength and uh and but it's not exactly like that because parro doesn't even know what to say anymore parro doesn't know what to ask for power is caught up in this mind game that he is trying to win and all along the way his heart is getting hardened and the time is taking and and and it's taking its time because we have an endgame it's not just tomorrow at this time as we saw the C that tomorrow this time on the wall we have to wait for what already the Angels had told Abraham it is next year at this time because Redemption takes place in the spring because in the spring things come back to life and one of the things that came back to life is the Jewish people and when we came back to life that's when we can leave Egypt so all of this is about moving towards the spring and then all the agricultural aspects of pesak which are spring oriented are of course an an essential part of the story because the story always was about leaving Egypt specifically in the spring
