Here we go. Interesting the wordar applies appears later on in the para ysar was kak's father. Yeetsar also means grapes. In the end of the para talks about using taking off truma from yeetsar. In fact, the Medish Rabb says, "Why did argue?" He said, "I'm the son." I'm sorry is, excuse me, she is oil is olives is olives. He said, "I'm the son of sheets like it says she any liquid you put she in, the shemen rises to the top. Oil rises to the top. Cream rises to the top. So Kak said, "I'm the son of oil. I'm going to rise to the top." Also um said, "What does the p mean?" That was Arin and David who were Nimsh Bish and Hamishka. Ain became the David became the Musak said if they just had a little oil sprinkled on them they became they got kuna. I who am the son of Shem I don't need to be anointed. I will become a coen and a mel. And that's why he argued on. So think about it. What caused Kyra to argue on Mosha? He took Yeetsar. He took Yeetsar. He said, "I have she in my family. I have oil in my family. My father's she and he took that." He said, "I'm going to take that as mine. I'm going to take ownership over that. I'm going to claim it as my rightful belonging." He took it for himself. So the end of the para by the way later on in the para it says be careful about you have to take and give it when it comes to you can't you can't take it you have to be you have to give it that's why it says you have to give the therefore the para ends as a for the that we're talking about is the of the and the you have to give it the tick to benitar the tick that kak took so to speak the fact that the shemen the fat the cream was in his family the tick is that when you have goodness your attit attitude has to be you have to give it. Therefore, the para ends don't bear sin. How you have to give the because if you're and you don't take it for yourself like then you won't bear sin and die like this is actually pretty compelling that the para begins took the and the para warns that make sure you give the of that okay here's another connection this comes from of he says of course the par begins and it ends he says what did took he took bad merchandise for himself what is this bad merchandise and what does it mean he took it for himself and why does the par endal in the garra in we Findish nerishine that belongs to the ley that was taken while the grain was still standing. You can't eat it. Why? Like the final in this week's par. What does that mean? That means you can't take the miser shine before the wheat the wheat is is harvested and truma is taken off. You can't be mim the ley to the coain. The ley can't go before the kane. If the ley's sheni mer is given before the coen the ley can't eat it. The lady the ley can't eat it. You can't be the of the to the if you can't even be Mim the of the ley to the of the all the more so if a ley wants to argue on the whole institution of kohuna then the ley will be kisa so if there would be a guy like kak who would say I'm a ley I want to usurp the kahuna then if the last p in the para tells tells us that don't give the maisha into the ley before you take the truma. You can't even advance the giving of the portion of the ley to the certainly you can't usurp the kohuna entirely. That is a very staggering connection between the end of the para and the beginning of the para. This is the bad merchandise that karak took to himself. What's the merchandise? He took misa. Why? Because he argued on the kahuna. Now the safer preim adds from his uh great ancestor the the mala mukis that in the gulos there only 270 mitzvah you could fulfill the 613 you can only be mim in Israel in the gulos you know how many mitzvah you have 270 ra kak did not enter Israel he died in the midbar cuz he argued on the kuna. So how many what did he do? He took only 270 mitzvah for his bones. Thearam tell us that on the bones of a sadic are engraved all the mitzv that he did and on the bones of arash it's engraved all of his a so he took me he took only he took 270 mitzvah for his bones for his bones he was only able to take 270. This is the meaning like the says question why do we refer to taking Y's bones as mitzv it's only one mitzvah the answer is because all of on the bones of all of his mitzvah were engraved so since Mosha took his bones he took mitzv all the mitzv Okay. So when we say that took a mech means he took only 270 mitzvah because since he died he didn't go into he only had 270 mitz for his bones. But then uh the preim offers another connection between the beginning and the end of the para again the beginning of the par and then it ends. The Gomorrah says in what's says oh one second I'm sorry the the pars say on the ley the teaches says why says the will and will be a soak says morning god will know who belongs to him in the morning in the that's called kak will be one of the leaders so kak says like this the the whole community is holy. When will that be? That will be when every single Jew will be avi says and it says that at the time of the time of the then all of so says like this says the time has come. The time that all Jews are holy has come. So why are you being elevated above us and we're all equal. Like of says that when the says that just like when you separate truma from the silo, all the wheat comes from one field and the one who sanctifies the chuma is declaring part of the the produce is chuma is holy and part of it is kulen. So too that's the the analogy of giving trauma is when one Jew is appointed to be Melik or Nasi or Kayen Godal. And the same way when one person is separated to be the ro he becomes holy. The proof is from Truma. Just like when one kernel of grain is separated to be truma it becomes holy. Ah, that's the connection between the beginning and the and the end of the para when took what's argument he says look the gula happens so we're all equal so you can't just elevate one person that one person should be truma no so the para ends if you don't offer truma the same way you have to truma part of it is truma part of the grain will be chum and the rest is and if you don't do that what there's a the liel for misa so too in the era we live in if you don't recognize the so so to speak superiority of a moa of an it's like you're not giving truma and you're liable to misa that's why the para ends the offering of true declaring part of something true Resin is analogous to elevating one member of Kalisra and making him Melik or Na'vi and if you're going to argue on Mosher Rabenu it's like a failure to give Truma so so to speak it comes out we have a number of very interesting connections between the beginning and the end of par number one Kak's problem was he took thear he took took his shemen. He took his cream and he wanted to just use it selfishly. But the para ends, no, when you have a a better part, when you have a you have to give it. And if you give it that's a tick on to the selfishness or as the preim says that the same way if you don't give the his share first there's a of if the ley want you want to give my before truma if it's Eden there's a of you if the levian want to dispute the authority of the khanim there's a of mis or finally kak says right now we're all equal I don't want you to be superior so the para ends no the same way bisman you have to declare some of the grain shuma and it's thereby sanctified in the era we live in we have to give certain recognition to specific individuals and not doing that is like failure to give chuma okay so that's the connection between the beginning and the end of paras as Kyra.
