Noah remained a sadik. As a side note, it says that Noah was tamim. What does it mean that the says that there were certain people in the Torah that were born circumcised and Noah was one of them. page 32A says that Noah where it says it's referring to Noah did not have the physical blemish of the foreskin that is connected with tumah that everyone else has. He was born Maul and in fact there were others in the chapter two number five in says that was circumcised his son was circumcised Noah as we said but also Noah's Shem who was also called Malited was Maul Yakov Ysef Sadik Mosherenu Jeremiah the prophet alladikim but then Beta tells US THAT EVEN BASHA WAS BORN. Maul as the says in chapter 29 that bil was born circumcised because that was the only way that he would merit to have the degree of prophecy that he had. teaching us a kush that in order to receive prophecy one has to have be circumcised. But needless to say, we learn from this that just because Noah, all of these righteous people were born circumcised, it didn't guarantee that they're going to be righteous because Bam had the same head start, if you will, but ended up being the most wicked person that ever lived. In fact, before we go into the difference between Noah and the rest of the generation, we have to go into the second question of what did king of Yehuda do that was so fanatic in chapter number four says there were four things that did hid the book of remedies. This was a book that some say was written by one of Noah's sons Shem that an angel showed him in Ganedin. Some say it was that wrote the book says the regardless of that this book included the cures for all illnesses and decided to hide it to bury it. Why people have diseases, cancer, AIDS, whatever other horrible diseases out there, as the says, there's over 900 different ways that a person can die. Many of them are diseases. The worst possible one was the one that actually the Tomim of died with where they choked slowly, their throat closed slowly. It's a horrible, horrible disease. This book had the cure. Meaning that had the Tom of had access to this book, they would have never died. At least not from that disease. Why did you hide it? Further, also took the copper serpent that Musher Benu did. And it says in the book of Kings 2 18:e 3 and 4 that did what was proper in the eyes of Hashem. He ground up the copper serpent that Musher Rabenu had made. For until those days, the children of Israel used to burn incense before it. What was this copper serpent? This was the serpent that was the vehicle for the divine healing that Hashem brought to Israel when the snakes were attacking them. And they kept it all those years as a reminder that the Jewish people suffer only because of their sins. And that was actually a reason not to grind it up and destroy it. and they kept it as a commemoration of what happened. So why would you throw something like that out or hide it? He also removed the high places and altars where the Jewish people brought cobanot offerings. But if there's co sacrifices to hemis people, it's like saying you're shutting down all the shs. Well, people are praying. Don't you want people to pray? Don't you want people to make sacrifices? Lastly, he stopped up the waters of the Ghon, which was the Shiloa spring, which seemed like a wrong move during battle. All of these were not wellreceived initially. All of these seemed phonetic, seemed extreme. In fact, tell us that agreed with this was good, but the people didn't until after the fact. the did, but the average person did not. Why? Why is there such a difference between the average person and [music]
