and welcome everyone to a special edition of all par on par the very excited to share with you an amazing Insight of the into's purchase of the birthright we know that yaku purchased the birthright for a pot of beans ASV came in from the field famished and he was he says feed me pour me from this red stew this these red lentils Rashi points out that the reason why yob was cooking red lentils was because this was the day thatu passed away and it's the Min hug to cook around object to indicate to signify that this world is a gag people pass on people are born and therefore yakin was cooking these LS it was a sud the first meal that is fed to the a in this case it was the first meal that was being fed this was not a coincidence that at that moment abrah AO passed away and yov Was preparing the sudas hav because let's study for a moment what was taking place Yak needed to purchase the birthright for a pot of beans now typically was he was reliant on his father's table he wasn't independent someone who eats off his father's table does not own his parents' food the food belongs to his parent even if he is going to be eating it the parent allows him to eat it but the parent owns it so how could Yu use this pot of beans to purchase the birthright yovino doesn't own the pot of beans in fact Yakov aino never owned food in his entire life say that on this occasion when had to own the food in order to use it to purchase the birthright this was the one time in yobo's life he indeed did own the food because this is a sud and must come has to come from someone else's possession therefore must have given must of transacted toob he was to him these be in a way that doesn't retain any any ownership of so yob could own it so in order for yob to be able to fulfill the Mitzvah of sud and give to oh at that very moment Hashem arranged you own something now's your opportunity to buy the birthright and just then asov came in and yov used the lentil gave him in order for him to be he used it to purchase the birthright perhaps we could add a remes to this extra special that was happening at this time I was always struck by the five words in a row in the PK that begin with v we have five words that begin with v in and reminded me of the 15 words that begin with VAV in a row after and very interestingly the brings that these 15 vves in a row have great significance you see when we say Shama we're supposed to say 248 words corresponding to the 248 limbs of man the only thing is kishma has 200 and 45 words so how do we complete how are we maslim the additional three words says the these 15 vavs V * 15 6 * 15 is 90 you see hashem's name is y k which is 26 plus the four letters makes it 30 so 90 the 15 vves is actually three shame Havas 90 is 30 * 3 30 is God's name 26 plus the four letters so the 90 signified by the 15 vves represents three names of God and these three names of God make it from 245 words in shat to 248 conned the limbs of a person so we could say perhaps the reason why we have five vves in a row here is to indicate five vs is 30 the name of plus the four letters to indicate there was a special presence of the name of hasem to orchestrate that da at this moment had given yov this food and he was m to him so that yov could be m in the midst of sud he owns the food just a of walks in and through this presence of hashem's name hashem's yob was able to buy the birthright wishing everyone a wonderful day and a wonderful chabus
