Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Moshe's Snake and Aaron's Crocodile

[Music] okay so good evening everyone welcome to the innovated rosh welcome home to torah we are parshat Vieira and we're a part in in the book of Exodus chapter 7 and we're gonna start on verse 9 so let me give you a little bit of preeminent for those who are joining us for the first time if there are that we use the clear car a grape a rush as the outline from tonight's discussion his insights that are usually fundamental meaning whatever however he discusses these ideas which first of all he helps us understand the actual Hebrew he was an expert in Hebrew and he noticed things that all the before ships of the ages have noticed and spoke about but never explained it in such fine detail so that we us laymen can really understand what are the anomalies what are the problems in the Hebrew when we're not doing Bible criticism as saying prove to us we're doing Bible criticism in a sense of teach us why is this an anomaly why is this something awkward how is this sentence structured in the way that God is trying to convey a message to us okay because we believe that every letter and every word is direct communication from a Shem and there's nothing mysterious a message okay so once we get that clear we're all on the same page the clear car will then begin to explain certain things so let me give you a little bit of a introduction in chapter 7 verse 9 okay when Pharaoh speaks to you saying this is what God is saying to to Moshe and he says motion that says to Aaron when Pharaoh says to you to provide a sign for yourselves then you're willing to what you're going to say to our own take your staff cast it before Pharaoh and it will become a serpent okay so we're going to not use the English word serpent okay as much as we can because the Hebrew word is a tanning and the tanning is not an AHA SHhhh or maybe it is but it's a different word now if you go back to chapter 4 verse 3 where Moses is that the snare is at the burning bush and and he got Moses says how are they how would the people gonna believe me so he says I'll give you a sign you'll throw your your your your mighty what's the matter the staff and you're thrown on the ground and it's gonna become a serpent and it did and it became a serpent so what's the Hebrew over there it says the healer now hush now go back to our chapter right in chapter 7 and it says you he Litani hello it's different Hebrew the yet in the English a lot of them are translating the exact same way so one thing the clear card is going to do is explain on a very simple level I'm really kidding the difference between these two words and deep very deep concepts fundamental concepts in Judaism that every Jew should know and live with so let's begin the first thing the clear car points out is in chapter 7 verse 9 condom are here it says the shaggy Motta are on you he Litani right exactly like we said take your staff cast it before Pharaoh and it will become a time meaning now like I said I'm not gonna use the word serpent it could be a fish it could be a snake it could be a crocodile okay but we will discover that whatever it is it's not a regular snake a regular snake is maybe venomous maybe not venomous but the taneema is going to be extremely more dangerous more let's say stronger and capable of more destruction than us that are snake that's all the background I'm going to give you and we'll discover why he right away the clear car points out earlier on in parshat remote meaning in chapter 4 verse 3 see the shukaku motion Monticello now in verse chapter 7 verse 9 it's Aram's Matta it's the the the staff that are on hands but in chapter 4 I'm sorry to be a chapter 4 verse 3 it's Moses of staff that turns into an Akash not flashes for sure a serpent or a snake the nikla form of fortune is that there are going to be different opinions about what exactly is going on here th on reims some say that the tannin is what a dog gut though like Rashi explains go to chapter 1 in Genesis chapter 1 verse 21 when God created on the fifth day the creatures in the sea look what it says God created the great sea monsters again stay away from the English translations what is the word Hebrew had time they mean Haggadah lean these great honey named again we don't know what they are but if you know anything about the fifth day most likely they're great they're fish and look at Rashi on that you could just turn the page to on the sushi Rashi says doggin good doline should be on large fish that are in the sea now this is a very interesting Agra data because in terms of the gata2 this was referring to the Libya time and its mate okay meaning there was a male and a female God created the male and female like created all the animals except for man by the way man is the only creature that God did not create now on female he only created it okay we won't go in there now because this is they have to go to partial spreadsheet for that but what did God do he slaughtered he let's say wiped out he took out the female from the general population and he salted it that's why the Jews eat herring on Shabbos morning as a reminder made a llevaba right it's it's a I'm killing it but maybe a hope because that's what we are we're looking forward to the Messianic age we're looking for right Shabbos is a little bit of the future right it's a taste of Olam haba so it says the God he slew the female unsalted her away for the righteous in the future and so because if they were left to procreate they would take over the world somebody told me maybe this had to do with Dinosaurs who knows okay put that all aside this is we're talking about the idea of a tiny name our fish okay eh I mean but some say that I mean here we're dealing with is a nephesh and so to Rashi also explains right that's what we're talking about he named Macomber Celia shave Shenoy Russian but the Clea car feels now is the place to discuss the difference in that two languages why over there are Natasha by Moshe thrown down his staff and over here it is our own staff and it's turning into it I mean at least in front of Pharaoh okay kiritani noon Akash girdle Basu can be auteur there's no doubt whatever the timing is it is a at least a large serpent it has to be something larger and more more dangerous and he brings a proof text in Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse 33 this is in Haseeno where it's talking about serpents and cobras ruthless cobras cannot tiny mean llena whatever these are these to name their wine is I'm gonna eat such as leave bitterness but I think it means venomous it means you know wrath and poison as well as Roche patterning chakras very ruthless and and cruel okay you look at Rashi yeah he just mentions about how how a cobra is ruthless okay let's go on so basically we're also talking about Dan so look at number six on the shorts or sheet in chapter 49 of Genesis verse right then will be a serpent on the road a Viper on the path which bites the horses heels so it's rider falls backwards lead on Nahash are laid Eric Schiff he phoned la hora Hanoi shake it they soos the ye pull rahova a okay I jumped the gun a little bit because this is a very important less that he wants to get us a crooked across to us that both Moshe and Aaron all of their all of their miracles right it seemed to have happened through the staff do not fall for that it's not a magic wand they pronounced words they said words every time a miracle occurred the wand the one the the staff was just there this is a big mistake I think people in today's world they think there's magic in this and in that no even when God gave us our soul in the Aramaic it's interesting uncle it's cause what is when God put into us a living so mean he put into us our but his breath he breathed them into us a living soul the Hebrew is a speaking soul a see the fact that it speaks okay so when we speak this is a part of God we're actually in touch with God think about it use you think about the way you speak from now on a lot more we're talking about action service to God is to think before you open how many traps do we have how many guards do we have right you have not only your tongue and your teeth in your lips right and you have you okay you have a lot of a lot of fences before you open your mouth nevertheless would we see that both Moshe vro and also colony seen the mr8 p.m. it was through their speech can Akash where is the the power of a not of the of the serpent everyone knows it's in the bite it's in the mouth right where's the venom gonna come out from somewhere within the mouth right so this is going to be the symbolism why the mattel why the staff turns into an akash because the nosh is the e kerkhof above Eve the prime source of its powers in its mouth Lucas Leonie Russia Rovaniemi ah so I add a motto some shall merge theorem since the appearance at appearance only is that it's through the staff of our and motion arrow that had that we created all of these miracles shallow you piss going tell a ballad in but you know what it's making sure this whole idea of God making sure that this staff turns into an Akash to get this across that it's all about the power of the mouth so that a person like Pharoah right who's who's devout then Pharaoh that there's no opening there's no ability to make a claim from the hollow claw mark should the Amato's nasser : easy so that even he who's a fool could not say it was the magic wand well I ought to La Marche SOT Keith Stroup the motto son for him to make this mistake to say oh it all happened through magic piece roof or through their magic wand or the staff I came the Haas School and hushing that's exactly the reason why God made sure that these staffs turned into the Serpent's come on knock Hashem no shake bleah look hush Buffy because just like a the bite the way that a serpent does he bites right without any magic in the mouth this is just the way it works everyone knows you get bit by a snake you better hope it didn't have venom otherwise you're on your way to the hospital or to the to the to the caretaker Cosmo should be our own Co humbly and so too that's where the power of motion I was in their mouth vamatos Peru boo : a Poulos the coffee marry p.m. shall M it was the mottos that affected all of the miracles all the actions that really was what it was not the mottos but it was their mouth it was the Emre any effect that the damata had was only because of the mouth and not because of this dry stick yes I did go there oh he may have the Chi yeah cool oh this is a very important third thing when a sadiq opens his mouth and commands a blessing that's why people go to big tsadikim they want to get a blessing from a big rabbi from the big sage from someone who's very righteous because whatever he says will come to me now let me ask you I want to digress a little bit what did we say about Moses is sin why he was not able to come into the land of Israel right because he hit the rock instead of speaking to the rock what would speaking to the rock rock help well I'll give you one sure there's a lot of answers to that right it's not just the speaking to the rock ready for this it was that he even asked God he hesitated what should I do well I'll ask God God to speak throughout he should have spoken to the rock without asking a sham he knew that people needed water and all he had to do was speak to the rock all he had to do is say Rock gift worth water that's the power of it Sadiq he can make a decree and it what happened just like the Sun Stood Still it didn't just have to forget on it did happen from Moshe at the end of his life and that's why he thought ah I finally on my own made the Sun stand still and that's why I think that I have the right to commentary to travel and that's when he asked then it was only after the war he thought he made a tikkun but it wasn't good enough the alkane NASA mottos named in a hushing that's why the mottos of both iron and and Aaron and Moshe they both became the Hashim at least according to this opinion so far just like it says now this is where we go to Genesis 40 49 verse 17 speaking about Dan will be a serpent on the road as we mentioned a Viper on the path this is going to hint dokdo specifically why it had to happen with Pharaoh why kog'maw to Moshe Viera Newton connect regime sort of theme that they became these fiery snakes these fiery serpents and the haaziq the power will call of a dog in order to cause damage to Pharaoh and his people and his servants and we're gonna see a hint very shortly noses fled well okay I'm really jumping the gun let me let me try to stick to the text that by Dan let's stick to the dimension of Maidan the specific words are annoy shake it they soos that they're going to bite right you can imagine like they say about elephants are scared of mice right so a horse would be scared of a snake the snake could bite the hoof the the the heel of the the snake would bite the hill the the the horse and what's gonna happen all right he's gonna jump whatever and a wheelie as they say you know where I came from and the ride is gonna flow off what does that sound like the whole concept of riders and the horses falling in the splitting of the sea and when the sea came back we the whole army the whole Egyptian army was gone so we'll see that shortly and he goes on potato Berta bean you shall know and you shall understand kimochi I roam on English rail now what was Moses he was the leader to whom from the Jewish people the motto is oh and his staff is that's what the symbol of a leader and a and who used the row air he was a row air it's a shepherd he was our Shepherd who's our leader and they have stats and it was the staff of his strength Kashia Jim hog ha row as Edra that's exactly what a regular shepherd would do for his flock he would have a staff how you start with moisture gamma pyro so Moses happens to be there's gonna be a split we're gonna see the splitting of the personalities between Moshe and Aharon Moshe was a ruler and a leader over the Jewish people as well as over Pharaoh now where does it say that I want you to just skip to number 12 and chat page 5 the Lord said to Moses see I've made you a lord over Pharaoh and then your Aaron your brother will be your speaker viola hashem el moshe renata meta tika elohim Lapera I'm going to make you master over Pharaoh look at Rashi Elohim is a judge in the chastiser to chastise him with plagues and torments whereas Aaron will be the speaker like a Navi like a mat argument like it like a speak ok so in terms of whom Moses Moshe was he was the leader and the master of us and Pharaoh and Aaron was only a master over Pharaoh he was not our leader now how can we say that about our oh he was the interpreter we just saw Rashi the truth does before Moshe came to be the leader Aaron was the gut Allah door he was the greatest leader of the generation and he gave it up in humility when Moshe came back and he or he actually greeted him out in the desert already he did it with simcha he was the older brother and that the Potala itself tells us that he was happy that his younger brother had a higher position and that takes a lot of you know humility and we shall learn the lesson right let the best person do the job why fight over a job if you think that someone else can do the job better I know we only partner so we all need covered we all need Pat no we don't all need that we need the job to get done right and we should be happy for the person and even support the people who are doing the job okay so that was Aaron was not a valley derp he was the assistant so what do we see here a viral or moisture came out pyro the are mo lova he was only the leader of remote overpack Aaron was only the leader over Pharaoh and the Mitzvah the Egyptians alkane Siva Shem she lifts nice rail gosh leap motion Monticello it's very clear when God commands Moshe in front of the Jewish people right remember when he said on and on the mount how are they gonna believe me he said this is what you're gonna do you're gonna throw your staff down it's gonna turn into a snake and that's what happened with Moshe and Aaron they went to the they gathered the leaders together and they threw down who's they wouldn't say they threw it down look at number three on the source sheet it's chapter four verse 29 and 30 it says it does say Moses in our wet and then assembled all the elders of the children of Israel and it was Aaron who did the speaking he spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses and it says and he performed who's he I can't hear you all right do you think he performed the signs before the eyes of the people but wasn't it Moses that said how are they gonna believe me isn't it possible the word he hear is Moshe and because what did it turn into it doesn't say but we know that God said you are going to take your staff and you're gonna throw in the ground and it's gonna turn into a knock hush so what I'm going to tell you is what the clear card is about to tell you when it came to Moshe his staff turned into an Akash because an Akash is less dangerous than a tenon now it's going to be dangerous but it's less dangerous because Moses is going to be the master of the Jewish people as well and we need mercy it needs to be toned down when it comes to the Egyptians Moshe it's gonna be our own who's that's gonna turn into a tiny'mon which is more dangerous unbelievable but Moses also has to give rebuke so that's why it's a novice it has two roles it's less dangerous than a Tunney but it has to have some aspect of mercy meaning not as dangerous or even as the clear car will express even Moshe has to be somewhat angry with us at times but not that angry he has to tone it down that's what the leader needs to do cannot be walking around angry all the time with his people to show mercy so watch what he says alkanes he was shamelessly Israeli Ashley commotion what a shallow when Moses in front of people tis healin Akash out Derrick Lapera look : well but what that same that same staff when it comes in front of pero it's going to act as an Akash okay and that's when the second part of that verse we mentioned in brace in Genesis 49 17 we're at the end a viper by the path that bites the horses bat heels so it's rider falls backwards this hence the sooth to the horses of the Egypt and its riders as we all know in Exodus chapter 14 verses to 6 26 through 27 about the horse and it's rider is being thrown into the sea now what happened when Moses was told to throw the staff on the ground the anosognosia me pun of that Moses fled from it why did Moses what was frightening him what what freaked him out that he fled key hush officially Lamia Monticello mosque is a macabre Akhenaten can Nakash because imagine Moses thinking oh my god I have this tool this that's oldest equipment called a staff and I throw to the ground it turns into something very dangerous anak hush it's always going to be I'm associate leader for who the Jewish people it's always going to be something very destructive Ames mi meatus Tova so he thought this is not a good trait this is not a good sign I came there Marlo that's exactly why God says to grab it by its tail listen to this where do we have that this is [Music] it's in number eight so it's Exodus for verse 4 so it says over there and the Lord said to Moses stretch forth your hand and take hold of its tail Moses went ahead and stretched forth his hand and grasping and it became a staff in his hand remember what the staff represents right like the scepter does not be far apart from Shiloh until Messiah comes right they won't depart from your hood until Shiloh comes so this is also leadership right that's what the Messiah is is our leader he's our King so it's about leadership so what happens and what's the tale the tells the tale end it's always the end so wait till you hear what fascinating concepts the clear car brings down it's the tab grab it by the tail not by the head what's the head again it represents the most dangerous part of the snake hi Numa come rishabha a pet it's not just the head it's where the mouth of the snake is Masuka maja Zaghloul Ahoskie the so nation is Barack what does the mouth like bilham like think about villain he also why did Barack go after a guy like villain because he also had the gift of gab right you want to curse the Jews you want to bless the Jews you want to do something different to the Jews you got to find someone who has power in the mouth to go and counter the people power of the mouth that's what the Jew has that's what we're doing sitting and learning Torah I know most of you guys are just sitting there listening but you go home and you'll discuss after your Shabbos table with your kids whatever it is it's using your mouth for Torah learning right so here we're talking about grab a bite tail not its mouth so something that is destructive is that when I mentioned about bilam we're talking about the snake here it's very dangerous ah what about the tail another benefit is that but the tail is less dangerous we're not dangerous at all he's so thought Leo throw Israel in the end Moses is going to be a very good leader he is going to be the row heir the Shepherd of Israel euroval oh gosh peace and he will not cause us damage it's not his fault any damage came to us not because cuz now chillin ah hush just like the tail of the snake Shaina mozzie Kelleher a hukumat Obama once he grabbed it by the tail it just became a regular staff again who is no longer dangerous cocky a coffee Shan now hushed LaMotta back up oh and that's exactly what it turned into a Matta in his hand as if God was saying shan okashi mazi limits Ryan that this knock hush remember what Moses originally thought oh my god it turns into a snake is going to be very dangerous it has no good character traits know that you know what this is not hush it's going to damage the Egyptians who Matteo three struck out hot and simultaneously it's going to be a good thing for the Jews remember even the rod when God wants to send his rod against us it may seem that but ultimately we know it's to correct us to do the right thing so it's also merciful therefore this rod that turns into a snake is going to affect the Egyptians let's say negatively where it's going to affect the Jew simultaneously for good the aim time Solomon even if want to say she calmly Israel yamate natashka heart that even for the Jewish people it had to affect in a negative way Mata also taught him the knock destroy the Royal it was still within the Jewish people acting as a positive leadership role staff from OSHA and a punishing rod for those who were evil now this is a very interesting concept it's in perkier vote but it's not exactly the language he brings now but it says Misha cotton shock takamina Chicana fash did you understand you never want to get on the bad side of the rabbis that their bite the bite of those sages is like the bite of a snake now I want to go to epochs of our fathers you'll find this different numbers in different places but this is rebellious or he would say the honor of your fellow should be as precious to you as your own right make sure to on your route though your your neighbors your friends and do not be easy to anger right stay away from anger repent one day before your death which means today because you don't know when you're gonna die now this is where it gets interesting warm yourself by the fire of the sages then Hebrew it says the have a mythical name can naked Iran Chaka coming by the light warm yourself by the light of the sages the hobbies are here but Horton she looked Hobbit and beware lest you be burned by its embers meaning their hot coals right young rabbis especially hot coals of the rabbi's make sure you don't get burnt so their bite is like the bite of a fox should be shot janeshia tongue mushy hot shoe ow and their sting is like the sting of a scorpion it sounds like Muhammad Ali right joking we covet on a key a key shot a crowd and here's the last part there his is the hiss of a serpent well as he shot Tom but he shot xerath and all their words are like fiery coals Haleh ish so where's this based on looking at crazy ass this is number 10 in Cleese ask these ten verse eight one who digs a pit right if you dig a pit which is like a it's a mix ow god forbid someone could fall in and get damaged or even even worse one who digs a pit shall fall therein you think you're on all they say right and one who breaks offense a snake shop item closer Kumar's bow Ipoh cooperate together you Chicano now hush god forbid right where did the snakes hang out okay we're not talking about a chain-link fence we're talking about a wall of stones and in the many holes the the snakes hang out so if you break a fence what is the fence the fences the ciock the Torah is defenses the rabbi's or every rabbinic ordinance that I've ever seen is always there too bus from sin to create a sense of you know distancing right or reminders of what the direction we should be going in and not to go in the wrong directions always look at Rashi on that breaks offense/defense of the sages to transgress their words a snake shall bite him meaning what death by the hands of heaven do you know that and this is sounds incredible God says over and over again right guard my gardening's what does that mean that he wanted the sages to create fences not adding to the Torah it's creating a sense of intimacy and love relationship when you love somebody right there could be fear you walk into the room right you can have fear that you're gonna wake up your will your wife your husband or there's a greater sense of love where it's not a fear they're gonna wake them up but you you fear it's called love you love them so much you don't want any harm to come to them that's a higher level and that's where that's what the sages did they love us and they know that God loves us and they want to stab that intimate relationship so they created these see again these defenses and since he spoke with an expression of breaking a fence he mentions his recompense with an expression of the biting of a snake which usually occupies the holes of broken walls of houses let's get back to the text so the clear car ends this paragraph by saying I see Gham Cain's shop here this also works well that I brought along Marchioness and nasal if Nasser Al Kafka material Moshe he's now going to lead us since the idea that there's a MOT to show Aaron there's a staff of Aaron there's a staff of Moshe and up until now we've been dealing with the staff of Moshe okay about a die-in lorry new shoe mouthing we haven't yet seen any proof we haven't seen any miracles perhaps let's use the word miracles we haven't yet seen the miracles come along I Rodya Rodya shopify row the column oh we mentioned that our road was going to be the master and ruler over Pharaoh and the myth Egyptians out cane Cielo Shem Livni peril sleek material Aaron therefore whose staff was it that was going to be used when the Nile and I'm using that very loosely now we're gonna find it was an iron staff that was used to strike the Nile it was our own spark Aaron struck but he used Moshe staff on the Nile and when it came to all the other water there was other water there was swamps and canals and other River tributaries that was struck with our own staff and that's gonna be the difference between Akash and Tamimi watch what he says when we speak about the the motto of our own we heal autonomy it was our own staff to turn into a either crocodile or a more venomous type of serpent or a fish we'll stick with the taneema Jamaat oh god omnium aha stamina hush whatever this taneema is it's more venomous or it's more dangerous it's more deadly than a regular snake kiba's el-haram what do we learn from this Qigong aronia Drogo moshe papyrus shanira honey did you know that Pharaoh himself is called a ton een now we understand why when we're dealing with Pharaoh the word to mean is you it's gonna turn into this type of creature this type of animal as opposed to a fish or a snake but something much more dangerous than either one of them as it says look in Ezekiel chapter 29 verse 3 now everyone translate this is crocodile because it makes sense but let's leave it in the Hebrew a stunning and it's not just regular to mean it's tiny mean Tom with a mammoth the end the mem self right you know the final mem is it's different than a final note but we've been using the word to mean with a nun and Tom meet a mean with a mem so here look what the verse says and easy he'll speak and you shall say this was all about the rebuke that Ezekiel a prophet is giving to Egypt and Pharaoh so says the Lord God behold am i upon you Oh thyroid king of Egypt the great crocodile he lies down in the midst of the rivers and you know what he says he created the river the river is my own I made myself this is the hutzpah this is the arrogance this is the the idol worship right ethera in hebrew sarah melena trying to na me my good oh look at Rashi the great crocodile since all the greatness of Egypt I know all of its plenty comes from the Nile River the Prophet compares its king to a crocodile and its people to the fish of the river the river is my own I don't need any heavenly powers for my River provides all my necessities I made myself with my might and my wisdom I enhanced the great my greatness of my Dominion why did God take us out of Egypt why did we have to go to Egypt to begin with to develop as a nation and where did God bring us to Eretz Israel you didn't need to pray for rain you just you just dug a little bit of the canal and you made it into you've made the water go into your fields you had never had to rely on heaven here God takes us there to shout and we're being blessed with so much rain that's been broke such a brough up okay but we rely on something that needs to descend from heaven can you imagine living six months a year there's no rain and only a few months of the year we only are relying on the heavens but here so in Egypt it's so easy to fall right you can be in America and you fall into this idea that you don't have to does no spirituality you don't need to do anything to pray you get a job if not you get welfare if not someone will take care of you honey I'm a good old boy things with Tokyo Rob that was the verse we just read in your Hesco Sheila's was a fee chaperone in Charlotte I mean now that we clearly understand that Pharaoh himself considered himself like a tureen shoe goggle mañana which we already expressed is either bigger or more dangerous than a simple serpent okay new rule oh c'mon tishell around you look honey this is exactly why our own staff turned into a ton II can negate pero she named Shu itani exactly why I needed to go against parallel to Pharaoh who considered himself like a ton iam ke saamne gosh and a yokel okokok because just a regular serpent would not be able to go up against a Tunney the atonic oh god I'm in enough I should really express many times it was more powerful than a simple syrup serpent Hawking hello honey is exactly why I turned into a Tunisia cause of Gaddafi pero that it should have more power than Pharaoh himself people Farrell Toni listen to what it says when it refers to Pharaoh and we just read it in Ezekiel Haim with a final mem mem so feet hog god door okay he now he expresses something there's nothing to do with grammar at all this was purely Kabbalistic okay this is in the mystical teachings ha no see here this with them final mem has nothing to do with what I'm about to tell you in terms of grammar but the final amendment Kabbalist is feminine the mem the soul mate on the cave ah somehow it's referring to feminine whereas a shikaka ain't no girl could the core catania know so far it's not going to have as much power as of masculine tongue mean within final note that's why Aran's was annoyed and thyra was considered with a mem meaning let's go through this but he's about to tell us it may not be politically correct but it's true and that is the masculine is usually more stronger than the feminine now I happen to think that's not really true I don't think a man can carry for nine months a baby I don't think a man could ever survive the pain and yet women do it after time after time right after the first birth and maybe that's a Shems kindness because them to forget some part of that pain I don't know but my wife and the women I know my my sisters my my mother strong women I know our maybe they're stronger than men we men get sick that's it the world finishes women they still take care of everything that they were doing before right but let's just go with this okay that so when it came to Pharaoh it was with a man man feminine and when it came to our own staff it was with a nun in the word to mean therefore it's masculine and it could overtake the other weaker part of let's just say as it is therefore alkane a Sumati our own autonomy who you've loved as pi Rho Shannon gelatin in the kala it actually swallowed up right it overtook and swallowed up the the power of himself if perils can compared to this his own rods his own stats which were feminine commotion mr as we just read if you want to find it it's in the Exodus chapter 7 verse 12 Diablo mati Aaron s motto Sam it actually says that that our own staff swallowed up their steps we're gonna see something very amazing he he holds not like the Madras he says that it was it stayed it's hey Charlie 90 I'm River hard to mean you know what the astrologers astrologers of Pharaoh said eh come laden Matteo's we also have a very strong staff shanab gelatin which is compared to this Taniya and they knew that's exactly like Pharaoh and his servants who Mazda autumn it Pierre Benicia the matter Chaka Sheraton in so really what are you being so like the astrologers are same to the Pharaoh war Terra what are you being so Agra da what are you building yourself up with your with your with your staff that it should be like this animal Cain Harrell ahem that's why it was shown to them really that Aaron's is masculine it's much stronger than Pharaoh's shoot anemia Michel ahem callosum connect a book that they were weak like girls weak like women well not to shell arrow nouvlesse motto Sam therefore the we're going right now shot Rashi and the way the the text seems to explain it that the staff of Arab swallowed up their staffs glutsrock lassos Z the Mateo Shah Moshe this was could not have been done Moses the staff could not it was enough ah she covered nothing nezzie lift nice Ralph he used this already was in Akash in front of the Jewish people the feast connect it's real orator shamshir Hamas and you know I tell you he didn't want to show the great destructive power that this this mutiny could have had instead he used to knock hush Martha Shah Moshe Kola and hunt Huckabee nice rug being the power because it's the same staff that he's using both of the Jews and for the Egyptians and therefore it could not be such a dangerous destructive weapon I've came nepheline Akash that's why it only turned into a snake of a Mateo shall I rode on the other hand that the staff of our road shapow can negate peril Avadh which didn't go against the Jewish people it only went against the enemy pyro soxhlet on Eve it was used and turned into this honey which we don't know what it is whether it's a fish crocodile or a more fiery venomous serpent que de la vaca Coco Shapero and it was all there bye-bye Aaron in order to get rid of the power of pero who's compared to tunning as we said so the clear car B continues variety now he's going to give a proof for everything he said Shawn mikata your memoir when the actual plane came to the to the river I want I want to show you the difference over here we're gonna find it okay I'm wanting to look at some of these verses you go it's number 15 and 16 and 17 so in exodus chapter 7 we're gonna read really you know 14 15 16 17 18 19 all these verses so let's see them how it works let's go through an English first go to Pharaoh in the morning right it's like the Lord said to Moses not that time go to Pharaoh so he's talking to Moses it doesn't say IRA behold he's going forth to the water now you know why he urinated only in the morning right he held it in 24 hours a day if anybody saw him urinate they would say you're a human being you put on your right leg in your pants and you put on your right your right sock and you put your right shoe just like I do know he doesn't urinate at least in public like you know with people knowing all right so he hid it and he went down when nobody was looking and that's when Moses was gonna come and find him you're gonna stand God tells Moses you're gonna go to fire you're gonna stand opposite him on the bank of the Nile and the staff that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand so it's the staff that we saw in chapter 4 with aiternative to a serpent that's the staff that Moses holds in his hand okay then with this you will know that I'm though this is still being spoken to Moses only with this you will know that I am the Lord meaning Moses is now speaking to Pharaoh behold I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the waters in the Nile and it will turn to blood and the fish are gonna die now think about this we know we have a measures that Moses did not do the smiting the verse says Moses says I'm going to do it so that means it's Moses rod but let's say he didn't actually do it our own used his rod the only way I could make sense of it I have to tell you and okay we can read the Rajah's on your own when it comes to that but now go to verse 19 chapter 7 verse 19 then God says to Moses this is what you're gonna sell potato Aaron say to Aaron take your staff now this is already after think about a second Moses is telling him I'm gonna take my staff we're gonna make the Nile turn into blood and all the fish are gonna die in 19 - Ellen's gonna take his staff over the waters it doesn't save the river there's no the river here but over all the waters of Egypt over the rivers over the canals over there ponds over the older bodies of water they're going to become blood and everything will become blood but there's no mention of that fish [Music] again I mentioned earlier there's two staffs iron has a staff Moses has a staff let's see what the clear class to say about this when it came to the play going on the river that turned into blood the Amada hamantash in a half Oakland Akash - Kavya Dhaka in verse 15 we clearly saw God telling Moses that the staff that you had in your hand that had turned into a snake that you're going to use to turn into blood they're the Mata emotion this is clearly the monthlies the staff of Moses and it's written about in verse 17 behold Moses says I know theme Aqaba Martha said BRD I'm going to make this plague with the staff that's in my hand on the water which is where the yah right in the river Nahas Kadam I'm a lawyer called God okokok gotcha Josh Keith Cole may name is Raymond or awesome the odd man but this remember Moses was not as it turned into an Akash it wasn't as powerful as a ton in which our own staff turned into so what is he saying here that Aaron's was more powerful because it was able to turn all the waters all over Egypt whereas Moses only did the river afterwards in verse 19 say to Aaron take your staff stretch out your hand on all the waters on the waters of the different rivers and canals so what are we here for Mitch mommy not chicag Mart they are on Google min clock Martha motion this is what you understand that the staff of our own was more powerful than Moses Srimati shall our own pile gone benign rothenburg mayhem the comic they man it affected every single body of water in Egypt Moses did not that matter shall Aaron Mitchell economy remember it was our own staff that turned into this more powerful animal Shekhar Martin II mean God Amun Hamas Tom la Hache we have to remind ourselves that whatever the taneema they're more powerful than a regular snake will not emotional only pain Jayma God Allah whereas we reminded the Moses of staff as our leader his staff did not exhibit as much wrath or as much pain Babur Shahi a raw egg gum as she shrugged because it was our leader the leader has to be well tempered he can't be walking around like a raging maniac so really it now hanging I am but not cos gamba tschosik Oz even when the leader is angry which maybe there's time to be we can discuss that it can't be real anchor right let's be tempered this is a remnant Zev Ram is your car everything we spoke about up until now is very dear and understood as a hint okay now ready for this the clear car originally mentioned there is an opinion in Rashi right and during the first day of creation or say the fifth day creation the first week of creation that the word tun name is talking about really we're talking about fish right that's how we described it then so what he's going to do is and this is fascinating I think every column should really try to understand both sides of every argument we discussed it as either being an Akash or a crocodile we're a somewhere in between more venomous type of serpent now we're going to go back to the possibility that it was a dog all along and now we'll see the whole narrative using a dog and not necessarily a stronger snake we already know snake is being used but the word tie name could mean fish I'm Nam la même shirt anima hi new dog so now if we're going to translate and understand the word tiny meze fish I'll tell you were able to say birth name is around a half a kilometer long Aakash when it came to the miracles or the signs and that needed to be reduced in front of the Jewish people it was for sure not fast the Torah tells us to teach us watch it Michaela Israel chemicals the couth the cumin Kufa when Israel began as a nation we left Egypt in the middle of the day not in the middle of the night hiding we stood with our backs tall and straight like a Mikkel like a staff and even we came into the Land of Israel with Joshua we came in and we're our prey and our prayer is that when we return we also don't return with our tail between our legs so Jews in America now's the time come home standing tall so but what's the Mikkel it's something there is tall but what does it become it became something slithering on its stomach low to the ground with no height no weight whatsoever the Africa Koosh Koosh Paulo male kumoi samartha but what happens the snake goes down to the ground we oat in zoo Kalle offer just crawling on the dirt cuz share your husband's knob oh but when Moses is told to grab it by its tail what is the tail it's the dead end it's the end this is what I have been referring to all along by those people in the 12-step programs called hitting rock bottom what's the goal of God bringing you down so far down to rock bottom I'll even bring you up listen to what he says she packed me such feeble high sheep loose what's the goal of bringing you down Yahoo look Musab the old Kamata is that to bring you back to a strong straight position the cane I and that's exactly what happened shows you that perishable too so you know when Pharaoh really made it hard for the Jews in the slavery process at the very end it was like a progression right the slavery got worse and worse and worse and at the end it was the worst use on nameless oh time because ghazan vote Haruto a Shaney neshama lu l malice on that we're talking about the tail you become like the tail it's I'm not sure the language here but basically like all smoke and fire and it's like descending into the pits of hell and at the very end there's only one way to go and that is up Zelo you're talking about social in a pile that'll happen from the Jewish people with using what and not much the Cubs Pharaoh it doesn't work like that okay now say I'm not at the front of the Sonny it had it be this creature quality mean which we're now going to describe is fish Mijares just like cecil hashem at Socktober Hashanah this is the most amazing thing a Shem is perfect on all his ways when people have bad intent god forbid they don't do chula that bad a tent comes with boomerangs right what if I don't want to do the Jewish people he says pen your bet unless they increase what do we know about fish fish is I don't know exactly I've never seen a fish give birth but I heard there's lots and lots of eggs right tons of eggs and I think it's kosher caviar I've seen that but anyway just imagine just this is what God does he upsets he causes a backfire on the fool that tries to ruin God's plan who tries to ruin the Jewish people this is what's gonna happen to them karate lesotho Kamata Yogesh he wanted us to be a dry stick a right to not have any more children to finish off like hitler yimach shmo like all of our enemies they wanted us not to propagate the Shana Pearl River right not to have so many children this is why reitman didn't fire himself say pannier bear less they increase Neff aha devar but God did the opposite we had so many people come out of Egypt and we could have had even more we could have had four times before fifth right for one fifth left Egypt we could have had so many more schemata yah they should not say dog but God caused this dry stick to become an official usually moist but we're talking about the ability to propagate commotion mr as it says in gentleman Genesis 48 verse 16 the yin to the robe the care of our it's right this is the blessing the Yaakov gave Joseph they multiplied me they multiplied abundantly like fish in the midst of the land garb Otto you Sakia shemitah' Sato so to God was uprooting the the intent of Pharaoh by showing him right this is what's gonna be like you want the Jews to be like a dry stick I'm gonna make them propagate like fish look volcano Houser itani Leo's Mata now according to the way the Gomorrah described according to the Midrash that the not Thoth ate the other motto that the staff of our own ate the staffs of the the astrologers but according to the clear car and there is an opinion by the way like this you didn't make it up and then it remained fish that the fish ain't up the other fish it's just that the fish were represented by the matzah and why to hint that the Jewish people who always remain always remain truthful and plenty forever as it says and he uses diversity of LaMotte theorem that says Aaron's Martha ate up the motto meaning the Thanh Nien that was originally a motto it was no longer a motto it was now at I mean which is a fish and it remained the fish forever so the clear car finishes off the last paragraph of hookah they are right the the plague over the river she H bulldogging what is in the river fish and they all died in the written denial I'll you they mock - emotion basket it was specifically with the staff of Moses why because originally it was a nosh his his staff was an Akash so that could be used to kill the fish of a Mata Aaron but if our own staff Shimon killed a dog if we're saying that his his his staff when he did his trick in front of them the astrologers was a fish how are you gonna use a fish to kill other fish this is the reason why we don't have Arabs in the Israeli army we don't want we don't feel it's necessary or maybe we don't trust them for whatever reason let's just say we don't think that they're gonna go ahead and kill their own brothers there's something unusual about that right so we won't allow them on a mandatory basis to be in the army okay so since this staff was originally a fish nasa akshatha mata shallow busines peril now that we're not really grill dealing with the the theatrics in front of pharaoh a knock-on shambles as the Mossad where talking about just the staff killing killing the killing the fish after shoe hire dog after the fact that it was a fish it's going to kill other fish Lea Cox evilly karate our own Marcos the Kona rose like a meme that specifically why the verse tells us now take the staff of our own before was the staff of Moshe but knelt only the staff of our own that's why it says but dog I shall be your mouth Mesa the fish all died only in the river to Lucia Bhargav even our oshiruko Aida mati Aaron we're talking about and Moses the staff was used for the river it was our own staff was used for all the other so it was the fish didn't meaning am I getting confused here sorry one second below I share about God me right that means our own staff was used for all the other water supplies and no fish were killed because our own staff was timing timing represents fish and you couldn't use it like that and the calm nearby yard that means we're being more strict by the river where the fish did die the fish Aiello hey hem and the reason why because the river itself was there God yes I'm sure that that Pharaoh thought himself is a God or a son of the God but they they worshipped the Nile they actually worshipped the Nile and therefore there was a strictness they had to kill the fish the fish needed to die in the Nile they didn't need to die in all the swamps and canals because what we wanted to show them what God wanted to show them is your God ain't nothing I know it's a double negative but trust me hey it's it's worthless right then you would expect your God to be able to at least save how do you live without fish right well guess what you're gonna have a chance to find out your God cannot even save the fish that's in it alkane also schwa team bell ham that's why the judgment was made on their gods the Harrell ham channel yaqula hot seal bag on that it's God the God with a deity whenever on the Nile River couldn't even save its own fish of all her gummy manaro slow hangs eco bill helps they did not consider the canals and the swamps as gods therefore those fish were not killed this is a very important lesson in we just take it for all of Jewish history right anything that's what Judaism it's not just about living in a intimate relation with God which is the most important thing but it's also about knowing what's not right right there's a lot of confusion in this world okay and there's a lot of fake news out there we need clarity and when you learn a sucio when you learn in a Gomorrah when you want to come to even philosophers you want to get to the truth sometimes you have to go and find out what's not true first sometimes you have to go through and prove what isn't true and then you'll come to understand what is true easier especially when you come to think about God because God is unfathomable you cannot even explain it so you have to explain what God isn't and to show what God isn't and to understand what God isn't that is the easiest way to come I must say to understand God okay so a lot of people have been involved in other religions have been through other religions been through the fake you know the fake series of other religions and they finally come to Judy's and they stick with it you know to know what is not true right whether it's atheism whether it's you know science right as a religion leftist progresses all kinds of fake news out there sometimes you have to go through and clearly understand what isn't true in order to truly come to what is and that is a very important lesson and I wish you all a shabbat shalom [Music] holy stove and tuber great to be shot and welcome up the
