Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Vengeance of Pinchus for Who and What

welcome everybody once again to be given a Beit Midrash we are Parshat concuss and i just want to invite everybody please subscribe to the imminent YouTube channel and click on the notification Bell and then you'll be informed about upcoming videos as they are uploaded [Music] so welcome once again we are impartial Pincus that's found in numbers chapter 25 and we are really going to be dealing with verse 11 so let's just start with Hashem spoke to Moses saying we lobby arganoil Moshe lame or pin class who is Pintas that is tonight's topic who is he what does he represent he's been Eleazar Ben our own so so far this is very unusual because only need to know is that he is the son of Eleazar but the Torah tells us he's been our own a Cohen as well and what did he do is hey she Viscomi Tomasi me Albany Israel he brought back the wrath of God from the children of Israel my wrath God says Baccano at him now see Patoka we were dealing with this as well there's double language of vengeance what does that all about and it's translated as when he zealously avenged my vengeance among them the word become and God did not wipe us out the local deity at ministre al-baqi nasi the God says I do not consume the children of Israel in my vengeance so we read the first two verses and now we'll go to the clear car who is going to quote Rashi so we will have to take a short break and read a few Rossi's not just this Rashi because this Rashi in context of this verse is one thing but when you read other Rajah's that relate to who Pincus was it really should I say confuse it you can become quite confused let's start with the Rashi on our verse on chapter 25 verse 11 so it tells us the theory of autumn of Oz Emoto did you realize this that the the tribes and it doesn't just say shimma shimma right they were the the main instigators and you had well not Cosby but you had a zimri so he was the he was the tribal leader and now you have all the tribes or at least says since the tribes were were Lavazza Alto right they were disparaging him what would they say so they said we see been cooties there we see this guy who ever been pootie is that's who we're going to talk about who is pootie who was his father or perhaps mother for that or maybe grandmother or maybe grandfather okay so he's descended from pootie that what did pootie do now already know that the word been does not mean literally the son of it could be a grandson or it could be a spiritual father okay so then son of or in the category of whose booty she peeped aim of the emo a gully lavota Zara so we're referring to the mother his mother's father so the question is who is his mother's father so according to this least in the context we're thinking that it's Jethro because he tells you go to Exodus 625 and it doesn't say doesn't say the name Jethro in the verse but again it's pootie L so who's pootie look well let's let's continue this Rashi he fattened calves for the word P tame P tame is fattening the calves and this guy who's the son of pootie killed Zimri killed the the chief of shimon the chief of a tribe for this reason for this reason the torah tells us that he's the son of our own now that would write you didn't need like we started off by telling you he's the son of Eleazar who what do you need that to know that he's the son of our own so now let's good X is 625 and it tells us who did who did pincus's father Eleazar take as a wife so it says Eleazar the son of Aaron took himself one of the daughters of pootie L to himself as a wife and she bore him Pintas these are the heads of the father's houses of the Levites according to their family right velizar been I wrong law low-mid knows pootie l now remember these two words mid note booty L from a mugs or from the daughters of pootie L it is plural I mean I have to reveal to you right now that it's plural so this is going to perhaps be the reason why we're going to be confused later on because we haven't yet even reached the Rashi that I want to show you which I believe is coming up no it's actually yeah it's not yet let's read this Rashi now yeah it is this Rashi so right now on the Rashi on verse in Exodus 625 one of the daughters of putea what does it mean one of the daughters well he took from the daughters okay they translate his one out but let's not use that of the seed of Jethro who fattened examine we saw that word peep tame he was fattening the cast for idolatry Nawrocki on Exodus 2:16 mentions who was also also not just meaning who who is this life of Eleazar perhaps it's a different wife I don't know where it's definitely a parent of Pintas one of pincus's ascendance who defiled and brought pizza paint pit paint against his passion so who is Yosef we know that Joseph Joseph he fought with what his Nate Sahara with his desires now I just a little bit of background right one of the things that he could have really been upset with his brothers about and I think he was that you could have sold me anywhere but you sold me to Egypt and Egypt is so steeped in promiscuity now on one hand that's a really bad thing on another right he was it's a bigger test on the other hand this is the actual reason he says this is why we're so rich because we saw a verse in Mitchell a that says if you chase after prostitutes you'll become very poor you'll be searching for bread and you won't even find any so the truth is because he was tested with this and he overcame it this is me to connect and me to measure for measure this is actually how he became blessed and rich because he didn't succumb but another idea is you know he was a very handsome man right you know the madrasa he looked in the mirrors he was a little bit 17 year old full of himself to a certain extent but he was absolutely gorgeous they called drop-dead gorgeous you know the people that sold him they had something in mind when you had a beautiful young man like this you put him to work right who's going to be enslaved but enslaved as a prostitute just to imagine does it noot because we're going to discuss the two differences between Jethro perhaps in the terms of being involved with idol worship talk about the fattening of the calves because he used to be a cow Haim Midian he was a chief the Kumar a priest of idols and Yosef I would call him I want to make up in Maine he was the priest of modesty right so on one hand you had the priest for idol worship and then you have this other character who was so righteous that he withheld himself against the tests so all we see so far in this Rashi is now something that goes against the first Rashi we read all we saw was that he was right from Jethro and and on the other side he was from Arad was all about PIMCO's to grandfather's right whereas this Rashi in Exodus 625 shows us that he's from at least we know he's from Aaron on one side but how does it work mathematically can you have two grandfathers right on the other side on your mother's side no doesn't really work now unless then we'll hear this hopefully at the end if you stay tuned how it could be that both Jethro yes ro and Joseph Joseph were both from the mother side and how that can be so let's go back now he does quote a Gomorrah which we'll get to shortly and just right away we saw that this is all coming to add something the fact that he's the been our own is coming to add something the clear car says a cold reboot Tanaka it's all coming to add a poppy Chiappa peach I have been Eleazar even though it's true he was his father was Eleazar a Sherlock Munoz pootie ale he took from the daughters I'm not gonna believe I'm not gonna say one of the daughters okay I'm gonna keep you hanging from the daughters of pootie l and who is pootie L wait till I hear who put the l a--'s so the Gomorrah here in Soto says Missouri yes ro chippy tame a golem lavota Zara now the truth is the Gilmore doesn't end there it's just one line from the new honor now I brought here the Gomorrah in the English as well it's number three on the store sheet now we don't have to read the first few lines but I do want to tell you this same Gomorrah appears in Baba Batra 109 B and it's brought in the Mart for a whole nother reason in SOTA so there was a discussion beforehand and the discussion is when Pincus went out to war was he acting under the capacity of or as the cohan the Mushu off the anointed Cohen who needs to warn people to get everyone ready to fight the battles for God and then warn the people if you're not ready you go to the side so the morale is not broken so without getting too much it's gonna give you a little bit of background so it comes out that you know what he could have been but that wasn't his sole reason for being to go to war his sole reason or seeming believe that war brings now was to avenge Joseph's the salad Yosef and did supplies that his father you know his mother's for his mother's father was Yosef so the more I ask okay but we thought it was Jethro like we see here and it's going to go back and forth okay so let's do it a little bit let's learn a little bit [Music] so a ton of thought it was not for nothing that specifically Pincus went out to war with Midian rather it was to exact the righteous rightful judgment of his mother's father so it says mother's father being Joseph and when did what what kind of vengeance needs to be taken so to go to Genesis 37 verse 36 there's a verse that says it was the Midianites that sold him into Egypt to whom Poti far keeps us in line an officer of far the Gomorrah asks is this to say the pinkest came on his mother's side from the family of Yosef but we know if you look at Exodus 625 and Eleazar our own son took himself a wife from the doors of Pootie el and she brought him piglets we just read that so what is it not the pinnacles came from the family a throne who was also called poo tal because he fattened cats were idol worship the ant they said no the answer no he was descended from Joseph who mocked the word like we saw Pete aim we also saw the word pizza Pat Pitts path his desire to control were to push off or to close his desire by resisting the advances of Potiphar's wife now the good war does continue and that's really what I want too because right now we're left with the question is it this or is it that is it Yosef or is it yes row so the Gomorrah asked but is it not the case that according to an oral tradition the tribes meaning all the tribes were Lavazza we're denigrating PIMCO's after he had killed the Zimri by saying do you see the son of pootie remember the clong and pootie still the son whose mother's father fat cats for idol worship so who would it be assuming we talk about idol worship we're thinking of you syrup should this man kill a prince of Israel for in other words if you're clean if you're such a topic if you come from pedigree that is clean so then maybe yeah you stand a chance but when you're not personally guilty but when you come from the DNA from the the scene of people who would do the same thing you're accusing other people who are you to stand up in there you know what I mean like the sheriff the sheriff has to be clean so they said evidently his grandfather pootie was the Ostrow not Yosef based on the idea of the avodah Zarah the more answers one second rather pencils was descended from both how can it be now this is like a little bit of like on the one hand or on the other hand if his mother's father descended from Yosef so then the opposite that his mother's mother descended from yousra and if his mother's mother descended from Yosef his mother's father descended from you sir so we're really talking about maybe generation back okay so it's not that his father his father can only have one mother but maybe his father's mother had a certain progeny and his mother's father had a certain progeny and therefore you can actually solve the solution of salt that on one generation back from his mother actually she came from from perhaps the Joseph and the mother's father came from yes row or vice versa right as it goes on it says the same thing and if his mother's mother descended from Yosef his mother's father did then descended from Israel now the kuda more confirms this resolution by telling us that actually the language is very precise if you saw that I pointed out it says maybe note pooty ell me the note means from the daughters of now sting cootie L still with him fly imply that it's one but they remember they called him cootie and I know the tower Clause of cootie L so who is putti L okay so that's where we're we're I have some really good commentator commentary on this and we're gonna go deep but which imply she came from two daughters of men from pootie l that's fine and therefore that's what the verse means now maybe I should kind of skip to but I want to I want to get into the into the clean car it's so fantastic I think it let's save this for later I want to hold your curiosity okay so back into the clea car he says well hey little Inoue at optimum amasses a meaning Pittacus held himself back from now we're talking about you sir oh so we're talking about of Eleazar he knows he did not follow in the footsteps of Jethro his grandfather he was clean just keep in mind we're talking about the Midianites had us do two big sins or tried to get us to do pick two big sins right not only did they try to get us to worship the bow poor which is idol worship but they were also involved in in prostitution in snood they sent the older women out in the market to bring in the young men to bring in the Jewish men and said oh you like what we have we have even nicer stuff inside and then they would enter these little Hut's that were they set up in the desert and inside there these younger more attractive beautiful women and they seduced the men and said whoa one second we're only going to continue and have you know sex will have intimacy if you go ahead and worship this Idol so this was the downfall this is what Villa wanted he wanted the Jews to sin and he wanted to sin in these these two big these two big sins okay so the clear car says if they're saying if they're if he's all he's holding himself back pain you're lonely bleats Aeneid or less the thus corners of the generation would say but you throw me here la viga the daughter of Yeshua in other words we know that Moses married sapore well supera had six other sisters so Eleazar won their generation down you know our own son married the Nita the the younger sister perhaps of support but who allows she's Jewish you're not allowed to marry non-jewish woman right well we do know they converted but perhaps she had not yet converted that's the question the a Hitomi Connie oh honey be honest how are you you actually come from median right if your grandmother is a mini Mary grandfather's a Midianite so who are you to take vengeance on your own people the paint avi avi huh so too and now we're home at Erin perhaps they're also blaming member Eleazar who's the father pit bus comes from Erin what did he do he was PTA McGowan livadas ara he also was involved on a certain level with the making of the Golden Calf okay they thought on Makana Aloha voters ara who are you to come and try to straighten out and fix and take God's vengeance for idol worship oh hi Bernard a Cohen huh you're the grant you're the grandson of our own so the Unreal oh so they'll get because he was from our own obviou because that PJ McCallum love others are your father's father fatten the cat's Roberta's are is that a sow ago this was what he made and produced constructed who was involved with the Golden Calf the Alpha became law hi amok Pete al kavadlo nevertheless you know what was so great about him cos he wasn't concerned what other people thought he knew he was right and he was righteous so it didn't matter that he came from you know a convert on one side you know from his mother's side Jethro or whether he came from iron okoto happened to be a big Sadiq and very righteous but nevertheless had a stain of some sort perish Rashi Rashi says schwate matsumoto which said that the the different tribes were humiliating him your courage is echo monotone this could be what Rashi means Kealia daesh's rotten Evo's emoto's the the very fact that they were trying and humiliating him that's why the toggles out of its way to relate that he comes from iron economy because you know what I was such a psychic he was a fussing Reiki each rusted who he was righteous and therefore pinnacles also was righteous and the reason I'm bringing this now in gomorrah Baba Basra they had the whole discussions the exact same discussion we just saw on SOTA except the discussion previous was who should you marry and it's gonna have an effect on your kids right whether you like it was your home the time who was a descendant of Moshe who eventually perhaps is the guy who led the Jews in dan in the north to worship idols he served as a minister in their temples that they set up it's because he comes from Moshe and okay that's a whole discussion itself how Moses was made a deal with Jethro where the first son would be able to be like a comb and be like a priest because he hadn't yet converted yet okay so along the whole class all on its own but the Gomorrah and Baba Basra is talking about who you should look out to marry so that your kids we carry on certain types of traits so as a continuation is very interesting because over here we'll bring in the trait of Aaron he was a Hassan he was each Hassan he was righteous now for p4p Shia they should then others are then I wrong even though the truth is that he's the son of Eleazar who had some we'll just to make the assumption now some tainted blood from Jethro nevertheless he comes from our own Heil ahem Malcolm is the the vote oh it's even from the site of Aaron even if your righteousness righteousness our own was there was still place for them to find something to mock him about the coma come knick knacks bravia Korah nevertheless he made himself there was no ego there was no skin with a flesh where they call that skin in the game he did not take it personally he knew it was right and and nothing to do with who is great-great-grandparents or even his parents were now he was Nick knows by the acara it was like he was a fly on the wall with a cliche like Votto he wasn't all concerned for his own honor wrote Higgy Larnaca tube and then the plastic is also telling us what shyam a sheave tama Minmei been may shift quema now this is also going to the character traits right that he returned the wrath of God remember when Ireland did I wrong right the plague and he stopped it by bringing incense so to hear you had a plague that was affecting the Jewish people and this man pinnacles through his act of canoing of being a zealot was able to stop the plague as well alkane our cosmos a abou sabbia though therefore we see that he held the actions of his forefathers in his hands and now the question is whose which one okay so we already know Ireland for sure but where does Jethro where does your awareness joseph play a big partners so let's see thinking before we go any further I think it's a good place to go to this tomorrow okay so I'm gonna tell you this is the craziest thing you'll ever see let me tell you what rev I brighter woods I asked rabbi brighter what's the question and in his shear he actually said why is he called been our own in other words just say been Eleazar viajar on right it also says been I run because it's someone who's a teacher and someone was a student if you're able to influence that person so then you like their father so he's he was a student of both Eleazar meaning a student and therefore also God the character traits and Mazhar and he was a student of Aaron he was a student of our own and he embodied what Aaron stood for that in the end we see he receives the covenant of peace we know what about peace that's Aaron I was Road they've shot him that ultimately the truth right wins out and you're gonna bring peace through through through the truth okay so that's one idea and we just mentioned that he was able to hold off the death of so many Jews because of his action now that's all well and good but what about now the other side could it be and I threw this out to rub my brighter wits and he loved it he says so just like you have a spiritual father meaning the grandfather is not the father but the great but the grandfather since he learned with him and he shared his character traits with him so he was like a spiritual father so I wanted to say so what what this whole mock locusts about you could still say and then we already did saying that it could be the DNA comes from a grant grandmother and the grandfather or a vice versa that still could be from Yeltsin and gentle at the same time but what about a spiritual father and he loved it so you have let's say it's only the biological grandfather is your all but what did he do remember there were two big sins that were going on and they both had to be battled with and he took the trait that he learned no safe even if he wants to even if he wasn't his biological father but he embodied the pit pet the the what's the word like just like Joseph held himself back and guarded himself controlled himself against noose he was able to battle that part now I want to tell you the Rosh bomb the rosh mom says something amazing [Music] he closes Zohar so I'll start with reading this he claims that yes Row is potty fara the Jethro actually is was the man who bought Yosef in the beginning and was very jealous about the wife and may have been not just a Kumar but a homosexual right it's just a really far-out guy who bought Yosef because of his looks listen to the words in the rash mom maybe I'll cough at the pursuit he brings the verse in Bray sheets in 41 Genesis 41 verse 15 that who's called a Cohen own who's called the the PI priest of own Poti far he's called a high priest pure show who corner so the question he asks is pus exemplo nicht about yes rap it's certainly not on my Jethro Ella al potty fara and the answer is according to what's written in the Zohar she hit Rahul Jota Farah you can't make this up but I like the next one even better okay that's nice so one of the things it said was low dasa MIOSHA ship it's paid to be it's wrong it wasn't that he came from joseph who overcame his y8 Sahara so the anal Yahoo clarifies my Martha our Peter are made according to the measures there are two y8 Sahara - right we have to label above you have to bets that spell out you know you have to serve God with all your heart so you have two inclinations Shinae it's re-embark rich boy who bought a llama now he's gonna really differently he's gonna say yater of voters call him the Yates isness there's two very powerful inclinations that we have and that's one towards worship let's say here in this case worshipping idols and the other one is towards immodest sexual relations Yates ur of otoscope hevene Kivar net car the truth is that has out back in the day they prayed that this should be removed that we should not be desirous of idols that's why we even have a little bit more rock Manute on people non-jews who worship idols we say we don't they don't really believe in it okay so you can be a little lenient in certain cases because you know if you ask them they really believe majority huge majority they don't really believe in what they consider to be idols and so that was actually removed but the the the inclination for amount of sexual acts was never well it was removed for a brief moment and no egg no chickens laid any eggs and then the rabbi's said no no no this can't be we have to have it it's gonna keep the world going so it came back we eight shows a new shoe Cayenne but the inclination for for promiscuity still exists our Kurdish Barco so God says Kamisha Yahoo la mode is newt anybody who's able to withstand the temptations of sexual propriety millennial of kilo-ohm be stayin I'm gonna give them credit I'm gonna attribute to them as if they stayed away from both remember if there's no real Yeats er for Idol idol worship so then what credit do you get when you don't you don't really get credit right because it's not at Ivor but if you're going to hold yourself in purity right so then you're gonna get credit for both well the st. amant should be Zubin a Scottie therefore from the fact that the other tribes Victor humiliated him I'll Shabab me yes Russia potema golem lavota Zahra and what were they mimicking him what were they making from you come from a nice row you come from Jethro who fattened the cast writer worship hey Shiva will guess what you can answer Shiva off me Joseph September you throw the only canary Yeats Herschel's news that truth is he also comes from Jethro Yosef who was able to control his inclination and stand up against his inclination towards nude Kadesh Markham Oliver kilo-ohm word gonca negative eight sir shovel Azara so God in the end right we'd give him credit as if he was stood both nibsy Shamala i Emma's macaque shabam me call Joseph Editha allahís around Chicago me macaque Shiva macaques Rome so what comes out that it was its sham Eilish did this attribute that he was able to withstand this it's only really coming from Yosef not there wasn't any tiger for the idol worshipping but it's coming from Yosef the for the solute and that he was that's even greater that is on a higher level then whatever power he had come to come to withstand from from idol worship I don't know if you want to see this you would like you got to see it okay let's go back into do you want so what do we see from this really we see that there is you could I think you could have a spiritual father and you can embody those character traits and therefore just like writer with said about then our own he's also yes it's true that he's from the DNA of our own but the fact that he he he adopted the ways of peace and to withstand so to you could do the same thing with Yosef although I think the the way I read the Gomorrah the truth is you could read it that on one hand right he's got four grandparents but then he's got eight grandparents that one of them came from Yosef and one of them came from Israel and it's all great because you really he needed both to withstand and do what he did against both idol worship and against the sexual impropriety and now that's really a lead into what we're about to read so then the clear car says pecan no ethnic can cannot see the toha as we mentioned the double language of vengeance we usually read it as a very strong vengeance right so they translated as zealously avenged my vengeance but it says among them so why does it say bit TOCOM shouldn't it just say cannot Tebow hem him not even that I took my vengeance in them but it's mama Sh among them so this teaches us we made our Kokila Shushan sorry Cleo but openness throughout Afghan that you know that when we have a smart when they're the non-jews are really on our case we know there's only three missiles you supposed to die for and in general in normal circumstances and that is right murder without idolatry and adultery if we were put in a situation where somebody threatened our lives we have to bite the bullet and we have to die we're not allowed to commit these three cardinal sins but if there's a shmatte if there is such cruelty amongst agenda Gentiles like in the Holocaust where they would in public cut off Jews pass right or make them play instruments on Shabbat or anything that right so guess what even for the rebuttals even for customs it's proper to have died and not to violate even it's not from the Torah just because they're doing it and they're making fun of us and our God that we that the proper thing is to actually die so but you need 10 Jews if it's public and there's 10 Jews so the words here in viagra that is analytic is 22 verse 32 you shall not desecrate my name right don't that's a Hillel a sham I shall be sanctified amidst the children of Israel this is one of the the sources we learn out that in such a case here we'll look at the Rashi that you're you either have to well the kiddush Hashem is doing something positive and the healer Shem would be doing something negative in this public way so look at Rashi by transgressing my Commandments intentionally it's very interesting now it's not already implied in the verse you shall not desecrate my holy namely those don't go against God's commandments that if you do not transgress then we wouldn't be that the opposite would be true you're sanctifying if you do the mitzvahs you're sanctifying God so will we learn by these words I shall be sanctified amidst the children of Israel it teaches surrender your life and do not come transgress God's commandments and to sanctify my name now you might think this commandment applies even in private meaning if you're not in the presence of 10 or more Jews scripture therefore says I shall be sanctified among amidst the children of Israel meaning when it's obligated sacrifice one's life to avoid transgressing is God's commandments only in the presence of 10 or more Jews that's what it means but toke astray alright we're talking about an ADA okay and one who sacrifices oneself one shall do so with the willingness to die now this is very interesting because when we say the Shema we're actually sanctifying God's name so on a certain level even though we're just sitting there air-conditioned very comfortable seat in the shul we should actually think of ourselves as being sacrifices to God if God forbid I I imagine myself looking at at lone cannon like looking down into a cabin you know like old has to do is go off right so you're willing to be a sacrifice for a Shem that is when you're saying Sh'ma Israel Hashem okay neshama HUD the Lord is our God Lord is one one should imagine himself like that so - we're gonna see it shortly with Pincus put his life on the line we're gonna see a hint very surely to the fact that he took a sword in his hand the word sword is Roma racial epithet I want you guys to hang in there and we'll see it shortly but this is also what pitless did to set - he put himself he put his own life in his own hands as we saw we had the discussion earlier this week that he was amongst the tribe of Shem Oh in other words I don't know where he physically was but whether it was closer to the tent of meeting or whether was in the where the tribe of Shimon was but there were the people of Shem on around him because the leader of the tribe was there and his entourage was there and we put himself in physical danger by doing what he did so this is also relating to this idea and when one sacrifices oneself once you do so with the willingness to die anyone who submits to sacrifices himself well assuming that God will surely perform the miracle for him so this is not a good thing in other words we have to really be willing to sacrifice okay we know we're righteous well we shouldn't do it thinking that we're gonna be safe we have to be doing it knowing that all the the cards are against us and that's okay if God saves that's great so for so we find in the case of kanayo Mishael and Azariah right when Nebuchadnezzar threatened to throw them in the furnace they went willingly they didn't say to themselves oh we know that God is going to create a miracle no they did not submit themselves on the condition that God would perform a miracle as the scripture says behold there is our God whom we worship he can save us from the burning fiery furnace and from your hands O king but if not let it be known to you O king that we will not worship your God neither will you prostrate ourselves the golden image do you set up you can looked at Daniel chapter 3 verses 17 and 18 so we see here that whatever the outcome whether God would rescue them or not they've declared regardless let it be known to you O king that we will not perish Strait ourselves right to the king or to any other idol worship okay so now let's continue in the clear car we read about the word betoken and we read about the knee - D but talk B'nai Israel now in verse 7 it says the yucca meet Ojeda that when the PIMCO's did this he stood up among the assembly so that's chapter 25 verse 7 he actually stood up amongst the Assembly rojo deal on this is actually telling us the praises of Pinkas hey my Stern knife shop kiddush Hashem he was willing to give his life he actually gave his life it's nice it's as if he was you know right on the line he gave up his life for us okay off our peace you're higher but Ojeda even though he was amongst all those shimma nights the cuff of Miss su Kahn who was a very dangerous place McCloy vanes INRI because of all the relatives of Zimri who he killed they were all his relatives from Shima the coma comes I'm not sure Tom Nash of the capo nevertheless Pinnacle's placed his own life in his hands outside of REM is you can look at the word Roma Rache memset says he took his sword I'm sorry spear a spear in his hand so scratch that roll out his spear not sort so cereth is is a sword Romek as a spear he took the spear in his hand and what do we know about the number 248 because that's what it adds up to we have three hundred and sixty five adults and 248 dudes right altogether 613 so the idea that each every time we do a mitzvah we're creating energy we're creating malacca we're creating angels you know that they're they're gonna be our defenders when we go to Judgment Day or they are going to be the prosecutors if we violate certain things so we're creating energy into the limbs that will be resurrected in the great and terrible day of the Lord I don't know why they call terrible but awesome let's call it awesome instead I mean it could be terrible for some people but I like to think of as positive it's gonna be awesome all right but those people it's going to be terrible you know it's gonna be tone okay no no getting out of it okay so just like the energy from the midst is they go into the limbs so that's why it's related to the 248 limbs that he put on the line for the Jewish people he put it he put this he put his life on the line okay so now we're going back into the clicker which is interesting because he now is telling us now try to break us apart in your own structure right in your head hi mechanics take keynote we already saw the word vengeance twice he actually is telling us the clear starts there were two types of engines --is one was on a vote Azara which fits in really nice what we said earlier and the others going on snooze so it fits in right with these two different types of vengeance on these two different character traits or neato sore mitzvahs that's why it says in double language Baccano at key knotty right the zealously avenged my vengeance now that's one perspective there's also another perspective that's cuz i'll bring down and that means perhaps it was like vote hashem is rock one of the vengeance a--'s was for vengeance for god and the other vengeance who would it be for himself Christ shall know from moshe moshe was also do you remember i mentioned earlier that who's Moses his wife Moses married also daughter of Israel and they were doing they were making fun of motion really they were really up against Moses rulership and they were taking out on Pancras he called him a holler shame we already still decided to anybody that desecrates God's name ain't a highly-evolved labo he's certainly not giving an oppression the correct honor to his ready and it's a kava Homer it's one of the 13 harmonica principles of logic she ain't huh Shana hush rubican agua if you're not considerate of God of God's presence the scheana so rabo local she came what do you think bus madam a human being a certainly you're not gonna again you can't consider the glory of God then you cannot really give honor to your own rock anybody who's giving you the wisdom gracing you with all the stone upon you all kinds of goodies no Cana is part of can egg though so to that would be if somebody would then basically what's the word that come brazenly against him so if they're not honoring Hashem they're certainly not honoring Moshe you know what they basically saying to Moshe bas you throw me hit tilaka the same words that they're saying to pentakus about his father Eleazar who gave your father the right to take a daughter of your own to Moses they're basically saying it well even if they weren't melding the words that's what they were saying and then you could find a Gomorrah is Sanhedrin 82 a but really it's the last line it goes across it goes over at 84 be [Music] okay so this word this idea is going to be really gonna focus on Psalms 106 verses 28 31 but before we get there just have this in mind because that's the first verse where the other says is it not stated in the verse and he prayed okay so we'll see what that means rather it says doesn't say the yet parallel but it says the Apollo LIA fáil Ellen this teaches pinnacles as a were wrought judgment now this is just an idea when we pray tefillah is self judgment in in Israel modern-day he modern-day Israel if your God forbid you see a police car outside your house it says plea Li right it means hi no it means it means serious crimes unit okay that's what it means a felony thanks judgment harsh judgment when we pray what we're doing it's reflexive it's in we're doing its you know we think we're always talking to God God's everywhere we're talking to ourselves about ourselves we're judging ourselves and that's something I want to actually talk about last week when we go to the shamone s Ray has all wrote when I say house I'm talking about the unshaken answer to your dollar the things that are supposedly important to us you know whether it's wisdom and health and and prosperity and building you shall lie in you know what I mean and it's unbelievable the things that we pray for so it's all written there these are the things that we're supposed to want a forgiveness and judgment all these things so that's very important just we saw this word this teaches the pinnacle says it were wrought judgment with his creator and that's what a Jew remember in Jews someone who's I heard rabbi casa things being about warring with God we are striving or struggling that's what Yeshua el means and now that it reminded myself because now I want to go back to the word pou tal booty a life I didn't read the comment but there's an unbelievable comment pootie could be as we said it either means the the pit aim or the pit spat but the word el I have to open this up to you El Camino voters ara or it can mean you yet Sahara unbelievable and it fits him perfectly with the world we spent earlier pootie al he from the pono's booty ale that really did come from both Yosef and yes row in the words themselves so Oh beautiful okay so going back now we're saying the minister angels sought to push him away even though he was wanting to fight with God or struggle with God the Angels pushed him away because he spoke harshly to God the Holy One blessed be he said to them said to them let him be so he's a zealot son of a zealot from the tribe of lady who was zealous in avenging the violation of his sister Dina right this was a imagine this again we're talking about snoot she was the opposite of Newt meaning she got she was on the receiving end of a rape and who stood up her lazy right and and shimma so here we have lady who is zealous in avenging the violation of the sister and so we know that we're talking about pent clothes coming from our own who is a lady he is an alleviate ur of wrath son of an levy a tour of wrath as we already mentioned the descendant of our own who had alleviated the rest was more than just the fact that I rode took out the plague and so did Pincus but there was a venge for the rape of Dean as well so the tries began to demean pentas oh did you see the son of pootie so called because his mother's was one of the daughters of pootie ow and of course we read this verse they interpreted homiletically as yester on the father of his mother Corrine - one rabbinic tradition fattened the cancer idol worship and he impudently killed the prince on the tribe of Israel without a trial right zealot in response the verse comes to invite his lineage he comes from our on the priests priests and that's why he's Ellis Lee executed Zimri the goomar goes on the Holy One blessed be said to Moses be the first to greet PIMCO's for the blessing that's gonna be very important this is the partner going to be seeing surely but God said this is what you should say to him I place this covenant peace now just think about the words when you reread it we think God says to Moses tell him in my name that I got I'm giving him a covenant of peace no no but God wants Moses to say to say directly to PIMCO's I Moses I'm giving you my covenant to peace because you know what you did you pass kandan life in my presence when they a Jew postions can you imagine you go to a rabbi and you're asking his opinion and his student is standing there and he opens his mouth instead of the rabbi's about - oh let me look this up you know the rabbi he knows it's very simple but he wants you to make it feel like it's a very important question so he starts thinking and this student like blurts it out yeah - this is a is a very severe crime okay so on one hand what did Christo Pinterest did something that really Moses was the leader and he didn't even ask him right well he did ask him the beginning but he goes and he does exactly what is supposed to be done without any further discussion which really is pasca nning in front of your Rebbe let's see it he says like this the Holy One blessed be he said to Moses be the first degree PIMCO's for the blessing of peace to honor him before the people as it says therefore say I hereby gift to him my covenant of peace as it says and it shall be unto him and to his descendants after him a covenant of eternal priesthood because he was zealous for his God and atone for the children of Israel and this atonement that he facilitated is worthy of continuing to atone forever I just want to go to some we're gonna deal with this now but I want to go to Psalms 106 verse 28 to 31 because you'll see in the verse where it talks about praying okay when it says the amo Pinkus via parle oh so it says they became attendance of Psalms this is nothing to do with the Commish right they became they became attached to bow poor and ain't sacrifices of the Dead they provoked God with their deeds and a plague broke out among them pencil stood up and executed justice and the plague was stopped so when it says Pitka stood up and executed justice that's the words we're looking at he prayed you can pray he prayed this is what prayer is executing justice weed it's meditation okay it's prayer our prayer is reflective judgment we're judging ourselves with self judgment it was accounted for him as a merit for generations to generation to eternity now we're dealing with the next part and it says like this I'll the thumb of pinkish or Alaka lomasa fifth name Mosher Abba when the last thing we said in the clear car was that the people were making fun of him saying who are you you write well to the eleazar eleazar that you come from the scene of Jethro that who gave permission to sorry Pinkus who gave Eleazar your father permission to marry one of the daughters of Jethro that was basically saying to Moses who gave permission for Moses to marry and he went ahead listen to what it says the sum of pinkish ahora luckily master thief named Mary Robbo kiai Marsha Robinette no gay but devar his own rabbi couldn't answer the question because he was Moses was no gay become his biased he was personally affected by the question when you're personally affected by the question you cannot be objective so that's why he stood up and did this act because he was less effective let's say even though he comes also from the seat of Jethro that's why it says look came and more that's where you should say he Nene no tane low at British Shalom I write this way you should Satan I'm giving you this covenant of peace the hey little Omar it should have just said behold say to him but it doesn't say that what is it really telling us because it's brother who I'm real emotional that God is actually telling Moses left a mnemonic oh yes around this is what you're gonna say in front of all the Jews I'll Lots McCobb you about yourself he need no pain now you're telling the whole Jewish people I'm giving Pittacus this covenant i Moses and giving covenant of peace them to to Pentos okay they shall know y'all Maria sharp so the Jews don't say shame at table Shalom in PIMCO's Allah our Allah above never that there's there's no discrepancy peace you're not a Brogue Asst you're not upset with Pinterest because he went ahead and passed in the halacha in front of you McCain toe dealer robbing their free should openly proclaim to everybody insane meat sitcom you should say this in your own words God gave he fed Moses the words this is what you should be saying he Nene no Taylor I Moses him giving him because the word heating the I behold I is going on Moses this is according to the clear car mouki negatives and hookah Negin masha'ikhina alo calm now remember we said there were two types of vengeance --is one was for Moses and one was fresh em what about we saw over Lazzara ends noose so what about for his God so if you go to verse 13 go high to low Lazzaro acara beasts kahuna olam right Moses says and it's going to be for him and his offspring after him the Covenant of eternal priesthood because he took vengeance for his God so yes we already saw a took vengeance from Moses but he's also taking vengeance for his God the times the a McCoy I'm Martian mr this is not at all related to we said earlier about Moses he made no time out before I'm giving to him but these s haroche of kimella Moshe therefore we already saw the reward for the vengeance from Rosa was already mentioned and the Vengeance for God is mentioned here meaning the eternal covenant for all generations now this is I think the last two lines three lines will be very interesting we do talk about vicarious atonement we talked about human sacrifice in different ways so it says and he atones for the children of Israel how is it that by killing Zimri he atones for the children of israel he he he killed them and the plague stopped and it says if you Harper Albany srl Kihei vs her Russia zelicah para Alko Israel he brought this evil person by killing that evil person he atones for all of Israel the mixture of low conquer a cravat para mukasam when he brought this human simra Zimri right it was as if he offered cows and sheep I'll K mish-mosh and that's why God swore at going on just like you acted like your initiation remember all the Conan get initiated they have a first act I I just think about the word in the in English called christening when you buy a new yacht and you want to where'd they get that from it's called to anoint the word Mashiach is anointing in the Christ the word crisis I think it's that it's just a Latin or English version of what Christ of what machine means that's what they call christening here this Cohen was anointed in this way he was let's initiate it through the act of killing zimri and attack on alarm gosh a hit oughta be sheemish guna this is how you initiate your act of guna now I just want to tell you this is a great secret and I don't want to bust any of the bubbles of the Cree I do want to bust the bubble of the Christians out there that the only way that a righteous person a truly righteous person can actually atone for others is if he's not truly righteous a truly righteous person when he dies we discussed this idea that going that was close by Karaca told me if he ended he dies that there's a suffering okay that he will attach or absorb some part of the punishment part of the sin that's going to be for the generation so that is like a Khepera it's an atonement okay so only if he's not totally righteous why because someone who is totally righteous does not is not affected by sin and can never atone for anybody else has said it's only someone even if they just thought about the sin in their life they never actually acted on it but they were let's say 99.9% righteous that person suffers can actually help a tone for a generation or for other people's sin okay so that is a very interesting concept I saw this in the venue Dada banished hi and when I saw that piece I thought about the mistake that I think Christians make first of all they make a lot more mistakes than that but but that they claim that their sacrifice or whatever they want to call it was totally pure and without sin so if that's the case that he atoned for no one right it's okay see you waste your time but it's only only someone who really tried hard and really overcame but wasn't a hundred percent perfect that was pretty much like 98 99 percent perfect that type of person he'll suffer he'll help absorb the sin because he's a he can be affected by sin but someone who has worked their whole life and never tasted never touched in then they're there to their death they won't even feel or touch or taste or absorb anybody else's sin and with that I open up for questions and I wish I want to shabbat shalom [Music]
