Anyone [music] that comes close to this
creature does not survive. In the book
of Job chapter 5 verse 23, where it says
for you shall have a treaty with the
Yadua Assadith, this is referring to the
man of the mountains.
The Chinuch says as follows.
The provision to consult the Yadua
sorcerer
is where the sorcerer places the bone of
a creature called Yadua
into his mouth.
And then the bone speaks the sorcery.
Either
a voice comes out of the throat of the
person, the sorcerer,
or some
unnatural thing happens. But what is
this Yadua?
What is this Yadua?
Says the Chinuch,
I have seen a description of this
creature
whose name is Yadua
in the books of the Gaonim.
Gaonim lived over a thousand years ago.
After the Savoraim, we had the Zugot,
the Tanaim, the Amoraim, the Savoraim,
then the Gaonim.
And then after that the Rishonim, which
is the Rambam, Rashi, and so on. Gaonim
is the Gaon Saadia Gaon.
So he says I've seen this in the books
of the Gaonim.
And there they explained that this
animal called Yadua
develops from a large cord
that protrudes from the earth
like the cord or a vine of cucumbers and
gourds.
And has the appearance of a man in all
respects
with regards to face, body, hands, feet.
From its navel
it is attached to the cord that connects
it to the ground.
No creature is able to approach it
within the length of its cord.
For it pastures on the vegetation in its
surroundings up to the length of its
cord.
And it attacks and tears up anything
within reach.
So here we're talking about a human-like
creature.
Arms, legs, face, and so on, but
it's not a human. It's an animal.
The sages also call it Hayyat Hashadeh
in the biblical language.
And it's connected to the ground
with some type of cord
directly to its umbilical cord.
That's how it feeds. That's how its
belly button is a in essence the same
way like a lavdi, a baby
survives 9 months in his mommy's belly
through the umbilical cord. That's where
the food transfers. In essence, the
earth is how
this creature survives.
And here we're talking about this is
mentioned in the Torah but I This is not
some mystical teachings of that you
don't want to believe in. This is in the
Torah.
This is what the Yedoni is.
How do they capture it if it's such a
vicious thing? Anyone that comes close
to this creature does not survive.
Doesn't matter whether it's a lion, a
bird, a human, an elephant, doesn't make
a difference. It's apparently as vicious
as vicious can be.
And the only way to capture it
or kill it really is from afar. How?
Says the the Hinukh, which is also
mentioned in the Gemara,
when they come to capture it, they must
shoot arrows at the cord until the cord
is severed.
And at that point it dies immediately.
In the Talmud Yerushalmi Masechet
Kil'ayim in chapter 8
halakha number four
our sages of blessed memory said
in an explanation to the verse in the
book of Job chapter five verse 23, where
it says, "For you shall have a treaty
with the Avnei Hasadeh."
Which is the stones of the field. What
is this referring to?
This is in
the book of Job. This is referring to
the man of the mountains. Who is this
man of the mountains? This is the man of
the mountains which lives from its navel
cord.
And if its navel cord is severed, it
cannot live.
So, this Avnei Hasadeh
is
this uh man of the mountains.
Some
may want to consider it something
similar to the conspiracy of Bigfoot,
but Bigfoot looks more like a gorilla.
So, you could see here, about time,
that our sages were aware, our sages
were familiar of all that more than
your scientists of today.
They knew a lot things that the world
does not believe in or does not is not
aware of.
And in fact, they also knew how these
things are utilized, why they're in the
world.
These creatures sometimes were used for
idolatry, for sorcery.
So, the Chovot HaLevavot is saying,
whether they're using tarot cards or
coffee or belts [snorts]
or the bone or the thing with the armpit
to tell you the future,
it's forbidden.
Why? Because it's antithetical to you
saying that you believe that Hashem runs
the world.
If you believe that Hashem runs the
world,
what do you care about what the future
source the sorcerer is telling you of
the future? You could change it
based on your actions.
And that is the meaning
of you shall be wholehearted with Hashem
your God. It's not just you shall be
wholehearted and do the mitzvot, you
shall be wholehearted and be honest, you
shall be wholehearted and do good. No,
no. This is you shall be wholehearted
meaning you only believe in and od
milvado, there's nothing else but
Hashem. Nothing has power over me,
nothing controls my destiny, nothing
controls anything other than Hakadosh
Baruchu.
And Hakadosh Baruchu runs the world
based on his own rules of measure for
measure. If I follow his Torah, I do
what I'm supposed to do, then the result
will be good. Even if I don't understand
how this is good and that is good.
Don't ask too many questions.
Don't ask questions that you can't get
answers for. And don't ask questions
that the only way for you to get the
answers from is if you die because
maybe Hashem will invite you to tell you
the answer.
And there's no coming back.
>> So, anyone [music] that is looking for
ways to better his situation, protect
himself, protect his family from the
horrific situation that's around us, the
terrorism and everything else, they must
understand that the only way is to
increase Torah. More Torah, more life.
