Hechaltzu chptr 2- Hurting others hurts G-d, Midyan opposes Yud kei vav kei- RC Dalfin

So we're learning the rabb from the year and we're in choice bay the kitser tells us on page six in the lessons inu edition that in the first chapter the the ashab began with the sukim and paras m about the hashem commanding Mosha to take revenge from Midan and the connection to Mosher Raenu and to his passing. And the questions that he left us with is two questions toward this was the end. One is you know um why does the war have to be waged specifically by Mosha and it's not adequate that the war would have been waged by Yeshua like other wars? And number two, how is it? What's the idea that Mosha the Shama receives Schlameus wholesomeness specifically after he accomplishes taking revenge of let's continue now seven. The third question that asks is we have to understand the essential idea about this war with the primary purpose. It was to take revenge for the Jews of the minion of the Midionites. It wasn't for the purpose of conquering their land, the land of Midun because as as it appears from the verses in the title, the yeed never inherited the land of Midash. What we find in the is that that through the war through Mosha in the wars they they merited they got at for the two and a half right but not not so the you can't say that the the reason for the war was to conquer the land so it becomes Jewish land next page So based on that is included in and what we understand from all of the above. So when they when they conquered the land of according to etc. it also includes the conquering of midy. So in other words, the specific instruction to fight midum seems to be superolous. I'm sorry. See is not for the purpose of conquering the land because that they got automatically through. That's what he says. And therefore we must say so if we accept Rash's position that means that the conquering of the land of is incomplete would be incomplete until they conquered Midun. is a subordinate kind of of and the says became the says it doesn't it it it doesn't imply this from the verses cuz the ver so it seems like in this parenthes he's kind of he's arguing with rashi but who in other words he's he's he's disagreeing and he's saying conquering is is an idea for itself. Don't tell me that the sorry conqueror of midn Don't tell me that Midian is a subordinate of and therefore conquering mid is is part of completing the conquering of of of the says the verses don't imply that. So if again so if there is no independent requirement to inherit the land of of of miga so what's the purpose of taking revenge of them the answer is to take revenge in other words the other lands that he's talking about here right Hashem wants you to conquer that land they should become sarit they should become part of the inheritance of the hand but but not not midun. So what's the purpose of mig like the says that says taking revenge but so we need to understand this hashem when hashem instru says to take revenge for the Jews say and says take revenge for midun in in in other words what's that hashab is asking what is the emphasis here taking revenge for of of midun and that's the purpose or the purpose is to to give to to help the yen rightem you have to understand what's the idea of taking a ka for hashem Hallelujah. Only did bad for the Eden. They are they are your enemy. That's why Hashem says, "Take revenge for the Jews." Why do you have to Why? What's this? What's the relevance to Hashem? And if it's because a portion of Hashem is his nation. So therefore since the Jewish nation was impacted over here, therefore we have to take revenge for them. So the the of the is associated with the it says He kept them as an apple of his eyes. Another quote, whoever touches them, the Jews, it's like touching the apple of hem's eyes. Therefore, therefore, when taking revenge of the Israelites, it's taking revenge for the forem says that it's true that this is the case. However, the fact that it says here to take revenge from implies that there's an association specifically with the name the means to say the clip the negative force of mid the clip It is contrary and opposes completely totally to the name and the fact that caused the Jews to sin. As we mentioned earlier, the actual historical account as recorded in the This means that medium was able to extend itself and spread itself its negative force and energy was able to spread its wings and cause havoc and problems for the Jews throughout Pugmaz. They also blemished Bish Mashem in the name of Yudke Vfk. They made a dent, a spiritual dent and blemish in the name, the most holy name of Hashem known as the fourlettered word which sometime is called. And this is why it says the Torah says you should take revenge of Hashem. In other words, it's not just that you're taking revenge for the Jewish people. You're taking revenge for God. That's a novelty. That's a kadesh. God was impacted. Not only the Jews impacted, but the yud was impacted. So, you're taking revenge for the yud as well. To take revenge of them and to destroy them. Habgam by destroying Midion you correct the blemish that mid in the name of now comes the nashab's question on this seemingly this is not understood what does it mean what's this concept this idea that oppos opposes the name of to the point where the verse says that this is as though you're taking revenge for God for the name of God that was impacted and blemished seemingly mashem Um, the fact that there can be a blemish in the name of Hashem, it's more it's more than what the seven nations were able to accomplish. They refer to the seven bad traits. They are the opposite of the seven holy traits of holiness as is known. Mid is not part of the seven nations. They're outside independent. So the Reb wants to understand this concept. That's another question. of the fourth question. It says, "You shall gather together in war. Prepare yourself amongst you, amongst the Jews. Get get ready and get soldiers and arm yourselves to fight the war. It says the says it should have said why in the third person because implies all of you. But yet the second word after the word men armed from among you. Not all people went into war as the Torah says only 1,000 per tribe. as it says afterwards that's why it says from among you and it doesn't say all of you if so his question is the verse should have said the should have said the word it should have said which would imply those that are preferred shall shall prepare themselves for war because not everyone's going to war. Only those that are a thousand per per tribe that are fit and want and for the war but the verse doesn't use the word the verse the verse the uses the word implying that it is somehow relevant to all of the Jewish people. This idea of taking revenge of midun because it blemishes it blemished the name of is relevant to all Jews and that's why it says not that all should should prepare them arm themselves and ardently prepare themselves for war. Question number five also his question is now about what's written later 1,000 per tribe for each and every one of the tribes. The verse should have said from every tribe. It doesn't say from every tribes. It says not. This is a question the alterba asks in his discourse of init page 85D. it this focus on the grammatical construction employed will not be answering this question in this m rather it's with the alter explains that the words mis instead of right because we're only taking 1,000 soldiers per tribe so it should say from the tribes mo with the conjunction function of the M it doesn't say that it says it means everyone that's his question that the grammar in the verse is opposite of what it was saying so the Rashab says that this indicates that the war was fought as a combined effort of the entire Jewish people that's his point that this war of of of against Midion done is not just for for himself for for for for a certain segment of the Jewish people but rather it's a war on behalf of the entire people. So so he wants to understand that. So that's another question kitser the summary of the second chapter the intent of the war against that it was fought for revenge and not conquest and and therefore we see that the idea was that they opposed they blemished the name of yud. So the Rashab wants to understand what's the significance of VK in this context and that they started up with it and they blemished and therefore Hashem says take revenge. In addition, we learned in this chapter questions on the language used in the Tyra. It should have said instead of and it should have said Mos from all tribes because we rather than and the fact that it doesn't say these two these two grammatical more correct more correct grammatical words it implies there's something very different that it's that this war is about and that is to to to root out the particular negative force and clip known as Midian which opposes specifically the Yudke V.
