Shemos - To Fight And Be Victorious

Hi, this is Dealowski with the para in five where in five minutes we try to give you an insight into the para that hopefully will enhance your shabas experience. And we're starting a new bookm or as they say initote because this is the book where Godmote the Egyptians and so uh it's of course a very important uh safer for us. It's all known by the kazala gula and it's a really the beginning of the Jewish people. All of that is captured uh in uh in this safer. So comes to Moshu and says go down [singing] Moses way down to Egypt land and tell old Pharaoh let my people go. So he tells Moshe, I want you to go down. And Moshe is on her saii and argues with the bar for a week. I'm not the right guy for the job. I I I don't know how to speak. I don't know how to do this. Take somebody else. And Hashem keeps saying, "No, it's got to be you, Moshe. No, you got to do this. No, you got to do." So Moshe really does not want to do this. And he finally goes down and he goes into parro and with Aon and he confronts him and tells them, "All right, let the Jewish people go." And he says, "You know, I got a better idea. How about I don't give him any straw?" How about that, Moa? You're wise guy. Obviously, you guys have too much spare time on your hands if you're sitting here talking about trying to go free. So, you must have uh have too much doing, so I'll take away all the straw. And as he comes out, he's of course accosted by uh his old enemies Dan and Vim and says, "Look what you did. You gave a sword to parro to kill us." You know, terrible things. And the para ends on a very depressing note. I mean, it starts on a pretty depressing note. It starts with us becoming slaves in Egypt, but it ends on a depressing note because here Moshe was sure he was going to go in there and tell Pyro, "Let my people go." and uh you know he was going to let him go even though Hashem told him there were going to be makers even though he said there was going to be makers he told him beforehand but he just didn't expect things to get worse and so it says in perhm [snorts] Why did you make it worse for these people? Why did you send me and since I came to parro and speak in your name? It's it's become worse for the people and you did not save your people. Don't worry, you watch. I will treat him with a strong hand and he will send you out with a strong hand. He will chase you from the land. The end. This becomes one of Mosher Beno's defining attributes. He argues with God. He contends with him. You don't find that by Abraham. Abraham, Hashem says, "Take your son, your only son, the son that you love, bring him up the mountain and kill him." Abraham didn't say, "Hey, I've been teaching people for years that you're against human sacrifice. Now you want me to go and perform human sacrifice?" He didn't say, "Uh, listen, I only got one kid and I don't have a spare." You know, like Harry uh wrote a book. He says, "I'm the spare in case anything happens to William." You know, I become I become the king. I'm just a spare. I don't have a spare. If I kill this kid, I don't have anything else. Yeah. He he he had many questions and he didn't ask any of them because he said, "Yeah, Karak told me to do something. I'll do it." When uh wanted to go down to Egypt, Hashem told him not to. He didn't. You know, that was it. Didn't ask any questions. And uh Yakov, his whole life was filled with difficulties. Not only didn't he ask any questions, but when he told Pyro, I've had a long hard life gets upset at him. But Moshe is arguing with Hashem constantly. The med says that when he went to the well in Midun, he sees a scene. The first guy drops his wallet. The second guy comes, finds the wallet. The third guy shows up to get water, and the first guy kills him because he thinks he stole his money. And Mosha says, "Why did this happen?" Moshe sees little babies being used as bricks in the wall and he says, "How could you do this?" He says, "You know better than me. You take one out." Yeah. You You take one for yourself. That of course was Mika who brings the idol through the Yamsuf. But throughout Mosher is contending. So Moshe shows up and he says to Baraku, "Why'd you send me? Things have only gotten worse. This is not how the story is supposed to go." And at the beginning of next week's para, Hashem says, "Boy, do I miss a yakov. I would tell them to do stuff and they never questioned me. They had faith. They know I knew what I'm doing. But you're always fighting with me. You're always arguing with me. You know, maybe I have a plan. maybe I know what I'm doing. And it seems like a a pretty good point that a coach Baru was making. And how exactly does Mosher Beno respond to it? The answer is you chose me to be a shepherd for your sheep. I have to watch out for them. I were building Clay. They were laying the foundation. But now you put me in charge. Yeah. I'm going to come after you on everything. I'm going to be responsible for my people. And that is Mosher Benu's nature. That is his role. And that's why as we know there are seven spherists that represent seven powers that went into the creation of the world. Moshe corresponds to fight and be victorious. Aron is hod. He admits he he he makes peace. Not Moshe. Moshe fights. Moshe argues. Moshe contends. And he becomes that mid of that every one of us when it comes time have to stand up and say what has to be said and do what has to be said to be able to save Cla. Good chabas.
