Shall not be like Korach and his Congregation by Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] welcome everyone to the event of a mad rush we are welcome you well welcoming you home to Torah as always it would they warm a very warm welcome if we could we'd hug you all but because of coronavirus we will pass this time around but vis Ratish m soon will be a handshakes and hugs and all that okay weird parshat cleric I do believe I gave this over in previous years but this part I clarified a lot of ideas and I guess this will be a better rendition of chapter 17 in numbers verse 5 so we all know there's a famous expression right god forbid when people start to quarrel especially many shools where there's a potential a lot of times we try to calm things down and say we don't want to be like Korah and his congregation right let's figure a way to get along because the turret that tells us don't be like them right don't split off and make your own congregation we need unity and we need unity now more than ever before because all of us are on the same page whether we're Orthodox Jews or whether we are not so observant and if we're non-jews but we've bought into the idea of the Torah is from heaven and we know there's a mission for the Jewish people and we support it and we back it and we have our own Mitsos to do right we're part of the solution not part of the problem so we're all on the same page so none of us want to be like the congregation of karak so the verse 5 says like this as a reminder which is very interesting why do you need a reminder as a reminder to the children of Israel so that no alien meaning no non Cohen okay the word in Hebrew will see as as our right Ashish Azhar anybody who's not a Cohen who is not of the offspring of Aaron basically should not draw near to bring up the smoke of incense before Shem he shouldn't perform certain things in the temple he's not going to work and serve God in the temple and do certain things that he not be like a Cohen I'm sorry that he not be like Korah and his assembly so here you have a warning okay not to be like Clark and his assembly as a Shem spoke about him through Moses now that's how the article translates in but look at the Hebrew in the end especially but let's start Zeek Road live nostril serving as a remembrance to the children of Israel now just because it's for us this is a lesson for all mankind not to create quarrels okay but it's specifically for the Jews not to what Lamanna shall know ye Krav ish czar so that a who someone who's not a KO'ing this quarrel there's many different opinions about what karak was upset about right whether he wanted to be a place of Moshe whether he wanted to flee in place of our own whether he just wanted a space as the as the Prince of the tribe of lady but no question he wanted a more prominent position and what did he say that we're all equal imagine that you yourself want to be the the head head guy or one of the top leaders and you're not included so what do you do you bring everyone down to the same level we're all holy right this is very important in today's today's society and what we're going through okay let's continue and who's not from the seat of car of our own hula Hawk Territories Live Nation who goes in to the temple to the tabernacle to the Mishkan to the mikdash and now there's in Hebrew are important words Lilia Cat Cora should not be like Cora Luca a dot o or like his congregation he had 250 people plus another few kasher d bear Hashem just as God spoke now these three words the odd Moshe low as God spoke here article says through Moshe right again we were in verse five in the English as a Shem spoke about him the question is who's him is it Clark or is it our own as God spoke about him through Moses that's the way the article translate in in other translations will it's a more direct translation it says regard the Lord spoke regarding him again we don't know who him is will occur ah she threw the hand of Moses I know cuz all your day means through but the turret didn't have to use all your day it chose to use right God used that for a reason through the hand of Moses as opposed to through Moses it could just have said and the Lord spoke regarding him through Moses you understand I'm really trying to push this point because we'll look at Rashi Rashi does I'm going to divide it into two and perhaps three parts the first part is so as to not be like Cara right low yet kakora there shall not be like Cara that's that's the literal translation what does it mean this is the Quran this remembrance whatever this remembrance is we don't even know what that is is in order there shall not be like Cara it's a little bit vague now this is we're gonna deal with this next part and the Lord spoke regarding him through the hand of Moses so the word lo appears which literally means him so the Rashi is telling us it means he it was spoken about him and who's about him according to Rashi the first shot is about our own this is something unique for our own and not for anybody else so in other words God spoke to Moses that he Aaron and his sons would be the co name and other people wouldn't be so basically it's God who decided that Aaron was the priest and the priestly class through him therefore no outsider who's not of the seed of our own should draw near this is prophecy coming to Moses directly from God and then it's part of the first part similarly any time it says li low or lehem to me to him or to them and any time it's it's connected to a verb of divorce speech it would always mean regarding so regarding him regarding our own fine however the true Brasi switches gears he's now going to tell us let's see that the word lo him is referring to karak I mean it as the Lord spoke regarding him karak through the hand of Moses and what does the man what does it mean by the hand of Moses I asked the question but Rashi thinks that it's a legitimate question and he's going to answer why didn't it just say limb Moshe why didn't have to say are you the emotion let it say like I said regarding him to Moses but it doesn't he uses by the hand of Moses so it says it alludes to those who rebel against Kahuna whoever rebelled against what is Kahuna mean I'm asking you guys what is the word can mean to minister to to serve our leaders our servants and the Lahan is to serve so it alludes to those who rebel against those who serve and guess what happens to those who rebel against the who serve Rashi says they're stricken with surahs' now my question before we read on is Cora was never stricken with sera still I know of he got a with him much worse punishment didn't he the grant of the land opened up and swallowed him and his family and all the 250 people and their wives and children but Rashi continues what does it mean they were strict immature us they meaning Carquinez and ADA don't be like them they got surahs' and and what's the proof that Rashi brings it's crazy if you ask me I don't get it it says and he Moses took it out and behold his hands was lepers like snow in Exodus chapter 4 verse 6 when he was at the burning bush and he God says to take his hand out of his book you know Elvis cloak and it was leprous but remember there was a conversation that took place right before God told him to take his hand out and we'll go into that we'll have to go into that to understand this so I want to tell you this is the beautiful thing about the clear car many many people who read the Commish with Rashi or their life ok so they can quote me the Rashi what does it mean wait till you hear the clear car opens up vistas such depth and it should make a difference in our lives and how we deal with other people when we have a an awareness of what this Rashi is actually trying to tell us okay let's go into the clea car again for those who are not aware we use the clea car as the basis for this conversation as a basis for this teaching and the clear card immediately opens up with Parrish Rashi we already saw that shallow you look a bit Seurat so that one should not become afflicted with Serrat Comeau just as shallow commotion bit Seurat via doe just as Moses was afflicted with taurus in his hand the word low is sha of alcoholic al-haqqani Arcana so therefore the word love whoever him is is going back who referring to whoever is arguing or disputing with the leadership role okay so again this Rashi to me at this point is not clear the Conn have been show L this is where the clear car figures as much that he is like the Talmud moveth he's like the child of Rashi and he's going to ask the question just like the children asked their father in on Passover Eve Miami and Sarah Thomas ah la jolla lik le Kahuna what what does this have to do with the price of tea in China right our own have you ever heard that before okay if you haven't in other words what's the connection what's this idea of Seurat of Moses's hand have to do with anybody that's going to argue or dispute about the Kahuna about the priesthood it doesn't really make any sense and then the clear card is going to tell me that it would have been made more sense to use Miriam as an example Miriam we know had leprosy as far as I know and I asked everyone here did according to Rashi anyway did did karak actually get leprosy not that we know of so anyway he says the yo try in a cone it would have been more proper even I am a Vila Riots errata sha Miriam it certainly would have been a better proof right to bring this story of Miriam and how she ended up with surahs' what was her complaint listen to this before we this is strengthened the question Shyam may aim makha Bucha toshow cara that what that what she did their whole complaint was certainly more similar he was almost identical to what Couric's complaint was Kim o'clock toh a lacuna new chakra mashallah Canada Novato show Moshe so Couric's complaint was about the Kahuna meaning the leadership and the whoever was chosen to serve what was Miriam's complaint we're all prophets we're all prophets why what gives him that I'll just say it outright that he is staying away from his life he was no longer cohabitating with him with his wife she was sticking up for it sapore but she felt there was something wrong that Moses is just like all of us with the prophecy why isn't he over stretching himself isn't he acting a little bit out of bounds by thinking he's greater than everyone that he alone is not sleeping with his wife we're all prophets we're all collaborating with our spouses look at well not yet okay low Shalaka Kashim basically what was karak saying God didn't send you and he not only did he not send you you basically made this all up on your own for example the mitzvot sitsit or the midst of the mezuzah right as we know the major springs that he came with his people and said to Moses I have a garment here it's all made of the color of the fayliss do you think it needs another threat if the veil if it eats its is where I have a room full of sifrit aura of holy books what do I need a mezuzah on a room full of the room itself gets across what I need to get across whom Isaiah homina yachts are out shall Miriam and this is so similar to the story of the type of Torah the Miriam would have gotten okay look at chapter 12 verse 2 in numbers when this conversation that Miriam and Aaron had look at what she said or they said they said has the Lord spoken only to Moses hasn't he spoken to us too and the Lord heard look at Rashi right what with him alone you mean he spoke to us too and yet we haven't abstained from marital relations so basically there was clay that Moses was overreaching he was doing something over and beyond very similar to Cara why not give the clear car saying why not give the example of Miriam why does Rashi give the example of Moses his hand there seems to be no relationship at all to Moses his hand having Taurus and the claim or this beauty kora his original claim this it seems more like Miriam would be a better example what if karak say look in chapter 16 verse 3 right he stay sad for the entire King congregation or all holy why do you raise yourselves above the Lord's assembly he's going out of his way to show you that Miriam's complained against Moses was much more similar in fact even parallel then Moses is we don't even know what Moses had terrassa on his hand for yet till we look at the verses which I promise we will and so the clear car continues lohit based on this verse in chapter 16 verse 3 where Clark says key : a Bakul avocado Sheen no attempt divided assumption Martin bar scene I not you alone Moses heard we all heard the first two mitzvahs I am the Lord your God and you shall have no other gods everybody knows that we heard those two mitzvahs votes arras feodosiya Moshe but when we speak about that leprosy that was on the hand of Moses Masha aku H lo the Maluku shall Cara what exactly is the relationship how can we relate that terrassa Moses hand to the McLucas of cloth now that is just an introduction to the questions okay so now we will begin to answer the questions so the clear car in his beautiful style asked the audience whoever's listening here the author now saw nine a a lift your eyes up and see right get out of the the I mean I don't know how to express it sometimes we're not objective we're too subjective so we can't really see the truth so raise yourself above the subjectivity and hear the truth human name McCarthy in your name la illaha di ba da ha ready he says behold I'm gonna bring you closer bring close these concepts and they're gonna be considered one in your hand you're gonna have something to walk away with okay the Yuka had I'm a betting man there is a comparison to these true types again which we're not talk about mere many more the the raashi brought down the type of tourists that supposedly goes to people who go against the claim which is gonna be karach again we didn't see him get afflicted with it but we'll worry about that later and Moses his hands let's see he says well me sharm t raya Beria Tova that we're gonna basically take from from what we're going to take from there a clear-cut proof show colic under the auto show Moshe Loki bits or us that basically yes we did take this original idea of Miriam but it's Moses himself anybody who argues anybody who disputes the prophecy of Moses is low kibbutz or us will be afflicted with leprosy you guys should be shaking in your boots I'm serious and this is what cuz I'll tell us in Shabbos 97 a it says like this let me just read the clear car clichéd the charring anybody who has suspicions you know concern about how do I translate suspicions he's looking at somebody like to doing something wrong but really they're kosher people but if you're looking at someone who's a kosher person is if he's doing something wrong look at the GU phone you god forbid the person will be afflicted if physically okay so that's what and the Gomorrah says Manawa Wright from where do we know this we know from Moses how do we know from Moses let's just see let's look at the let's look at the Gemara second as I'm this is number four on the source sheet they had talked about Miriam's leprosy prior so the gomorrah says something in the name of ray sluggish one who suspects the innocent of indiscretion that's a good way to put it someone who's kosher but you're suspicious of him he's really innocent the person is afflicted in his body and where do we know it from do you know the conversation that took place right before God told Moses to take out his hand and he found it was leprous when he removed his hand from his garment because Moses said these words look at Exodus 4 verse 1 but they will not believe me and will not hearken to my voice for they will say God did not appear to you now this is what Moses is accusing the Jewish people of so the Kunwar continues that basically the Holy One blessed be he said to Moses how can you accuse these Jewish people we're talking about at the burning bush chapter 4 of Exodus they're believers children of believers and ultimately what you will not believe they are believers as it's written this is in Exodus chapter 4 verse 31 and the people believe we believed in Moses and his prophecy the people believe once they heard that God had remembered the children of Israel and he saw their affliction and they bowed they prostrated also and why we considered children of believers because we know right Abraham Isaac and Jacob were believers it says about Abraham in Genesis 15:6 and he believed in God so now this is the so basically talking to Moses ultimately we you will not believe this is what this is what and God said to Moses and to Aaron because you did not believe in me in other words what Moses is accusing the Jewish people of he himself was guilty he didn't believe fully in Hashem right when God told him to speak to the rock he spoke to the rock where did he hit the rock but he didn't cause the Jew he didn't cause the people to believe in him he should have done what God told him to do right and this would have caused the people to believe God said speak to the rock and he hit the rock I'm talking about the second time right so one second what is this Zalman right this idea of Aidan's own mean I was in the mill trying to discuss that so people come to court right and you have two witnesses against a suspected criminal so they say we were there we saw it and they described what happened come along to additional witnesses and say to that first set of witnesses how could you have been there witnessing when you claimed when you are with us somewhere else now it all depends on what they were trying to cause those first pair of will called false witnesses they were trying to get somebody to experience a punishment so the torrid describes this idea that in most cases or certain cases I'm not going to go into the whole idea right now but those will come false witnesses and observe a meme they're not just false witnesses they're very specific witnesses that were copped out because they were somewhere else and there were witnesses to them they wanted that person to suffer certain punishment the Torah gives them the punishment I'm not going into all the details the punishment hadn't been meted out yet but the verdict was okay we're not gonna go into all the details okay it's too complicated right now but the idea is that if you're high should be sharing so you're basically saying this person deserves of certain punishment now what if you yourself we're gonna say okay you let's say you yourself are or not guilty of it's irrelevant but let's say you this punishment to go to them and if they were not deserving of it right maybe said they really were but let's say they weren't that's kosher picture means they really weren't then that punishment comes on the person hoping for the punishments of the other people clear as mud okay so that's why the the Gomorrah brings down the very example God sent said to Moses I'm sorry where do we know Moses was afflicted with his body from saying and claiming the Jewish people won't believe in him I just want to make this clear the Jewish people did believe in him see if the Jewish people didn't believe in him then Moses would not be afflicted he was koshered the sharing he was concerned suspicious as we said earlier he had and he suspected the innocent of indiscretion okay so that's why he got leprosy in his hand because he was called should pick Sharon he considered he he was suspicious of them and it wasn't true had it been true that would have been one thing he wouldn't have got leprosy the leprosy comes as a result of closures book sharing so the example of the damar gives where do we know Moses was afflicted in his body from Exodus 4 chapter 6 God sent him bring from your hand from your bosom he brought forth his hand out of his garment he took it out and we hold his hand was lepers like snow with that said I know that was like a mouthful to explain the clear card continues Lucas II sure did meaning basic logic dictates Sharia law social equation caches Imam law so clock even that it would be fitting to do to the what the person who had the suspicion as he had schemed to do to his brother him came if that's the case a cliched Nilka biota Makkah the person with the suspicion should be afflicted with the Mokka that he thought was fitting to do that the person that he had the passion against in her Yadav I met and the thing that he suspected him would have been true meaning the very fact that if it was true then the person would have ended up being punished so the very punishment had it been true the person who made up the whole story is going to get is this clear as mud so Moshe was high shape SS RAL bill ability meaning beneath Watteau and the truth of the matter is that Moses was suspicious or suspected Israel in it you know they were innocent but he met them nevertheless suspected Israel of not having trust or faith or belief in his own prophecy as it actually says we just read that in Exodus chapter 4 verse 1 he said but they won't believe in me in fact they're even going to say these words and I think this is where it comes in because these are the words that we know that Clark actually said low near a lek Hashem because they're gonna say God did not appear to you if you have a prophet running around and you say God did not appear to you you're calling him a false prophet aren't you you call him a false prophet you're saying you made this up so he says Heineman OSH d'Avray karak this is exactly what karak said now we don't see it the text I guarantee you you'll look to the text you won't find what karke said but you'll see what Moses responds and based on someone's response you can tell what was said listen to Moses responsible before we get to that we're basically claiming the clearcuts claiming what did Clark actually say low near Aleph a sham God did not appear to you the atop boat that called Mill middle vibha you invented everything from your own heart your own imagination the Duluth track motion Lamarr because if you look in chapter 16 28 you can see what Moses was required to respond Moses said with this right in the morning the whole story what's going to happen you will know that the Lord sent me if he's telling them right these proofs you will know from this point because they were claiming the Lord the Lord didn't send him and I say them we're talking about Clark and his aide then not the Jewish people the Jewish people believed in Moses and his prophecy but karak did not look it again 16:28 you shall know that the Lord sent me Moses to do all these deeds and what else does he say for I did not devise them myself they were accusing him of making this up clear as mud from his response that this must have been at least if he didn't say those words this is what karak meant when Moses wouldn't need to clarify so now we continue in the clear car and as I just mentioned of that verse Khakassia demotius Israel Chiaki shouldn't have ATO the ya'muru and this is exactly what Moses had when he suspicious of the Jewish people going against his prophecy when he said no nearer I let Hashem me bill huh a table out there this is what he what they were saying right this is what he thought they would say God did not appear to you and that you invented this from your heart today what kadai Lena Hague sure Alena in order that you should be the leader to overpower us to take the power away from us we've been to uh neuro him and the fact that we see shamil commotion bit Sarat we saw Moses hand with surahs' ah hush hush ah dumb bit Masha Abraham that the Jewish people never had this level of let's say lack of faith in Moses what do we hear from this Shelia I met how usual MacLeish makishima's what oh that if the Jewish people actually did have this belief that Moses made everything up meaning that they would deny his prophecy as you shall look in Potrero zoo we would have seen Israel themselves with Taurus and we don't see the nation coming down with this plague of surahs' the future for sure gamba mesh Abraham but since Moses had suspicion of something that they didn't have no clue biota Makkah sure hey Roy olive oil Ahab he himself was afflicted maybe this helps Yahoo Israel that this is why would Moses be afflicted with her us it's just a side when you read the story he thinks just a sign okay he's having a conversation with God forget the fact that he says something negative about the Jewish people he's just having a conference how they gonna you know give me a sign how they gonna how they gonna know they're gonna believe in me uh take your hand in take your hand out and that's all the narrative no Moses actually said they're not gonna believe in me which was wrong because it never happened if it would have happened his hand wouldn't had sore us maybe it was a sign but whatever it is maybe it's a scientist saying this is what you would get if you don't believe in me yeah for so many years he's about to go down to Egypt or in teach it and again like you just said he was away from them so you're talking about coming in with the gospel with the good news you're about to be redeemed you're gonna come out of servitudes but Moses we mean he didn't believe in himself is that what that could be is that what you're suggesting you're not sure okay let's move on we'll think about what you said crying okay hula fish Kassadin the machine and that that thought we did that okay team came so if that's the case de loking sorry if it wasn't the case lawyer me the connected media it has to be because everything that works out is always measure for measure but sorry your crushes a mama so about here this is the bottom line of Aiden's knowing name that whatever they had schemed to do to their friend or brother it was gonna happen to them this is exactly what happened to Moses or makan Raya Brewer and here we have clear-cut proof that one is whoever is colic ahkahuna whoever goes against the servitude of right who goes against the the choice of leadership in this case the cohen his local bits are us you go against the authority you're gonna get to us okay called Hoylake a lacuna because why it's not just stahma thorny it's the authority that Moses got through prophecy Moses didn't choose his brother cuz it's his brother Moses chose his brother because God said to choose his brother he didn't make it up and this is part of the problem that Cara probably had that he piggy figured it was nepotism that he just chosen because it was his brother as opposed to God's spoken word which we call prophesy to Moses to choose our own again he called her like a Kahuna anybody that's gonna you know disagree that this is the the leadership is helic under vuelta sha moshe he's arguing or contradicting the prophecy of Moses the oh man lo Nero a lavash em by saying this is what they would be saying God never appeared to you detail or issues to give you the authority sheet in Kahuna our own doctor to give your brother Aaron specifically the job the alleged ocean motion Balibo nitinol O'Keefe so they suspected we're talking about Corrigan is his group they suspected Moses made the whole thing up and gave his brother the authority and the clear Carson is a parachute car so far so good so now the clear card is going to answer a few questions and crime brought it up and and Yahoo yeah brought it up then we're gonna answer why specifically surahs' this leprosy why should that be the punishment for going against Cunha we're gonna also find out why the hand of Moses specifically and lastly we're gonna find out this drumroll please everyone why Cara didn't gets her ass I know Rashi says it but he doesn't say that he got to Roz was up to see now okay these are good questions you have to admit okay well the Tom the turret doctor this is on the first page the last paragraph heinel official Messina we find in the second therican it lists seven different reasons why god forbid someone should get Surratt so you'll find this if I'm not mistaken number 10 on the source sheet we're only going to be dealing with two out of the seven okay it's you know what let me I don't think it's number ten is it no it's number seven go to number seven it's sixteen a so leprous marx comes and afflict a person for seven sinful matters malicious speech which I think we're talking about here bloodshed murder and oath taken in vain forbidden sexual relations for arrogance that's going to be the second thing we're going to use so so far the the create cards we'll talk about two of them one is Russian heart the other one is Gaia or arrogance also for theft and forced in genus so I cut the game or a little bit just to show you these two so what do we know about malicious speech why should that be a reason to get leprosy because it says in Psalms 101 five could I bring that down anyway we just have it here it says whoever defamed his neighbor in secret I will destroy him so God is saying if you do not wash Inara I will cause you destruction and the rest of the verse interested me enough is all about haughtiness whoever his haughty of I am proud of heart I will suffer him so you have these two concepts in that one verse now regarding arrogance in Isaiah it says about him and you can find this two places really in second chronicles 26 16 and 26 19 and but when he was strong of his heart in other words arrogance okay when he was when he was strong his heart became arrogant so he did corruptly he trespassed against the Lord his God and what do we find a few verses later that he was stricken with leprosy leprosy broke broke forth on his forehead okay so he do have those verses here okay and then he brings down that this is in the second chronicles line madere Kabbalah y'all feelin from from the DeRay Kabbalah the very Kabbalah means what was handed down to us believe it or not this you know the after the five books the rest is dear a Kabbalah is rabbinic everything in the Tanakh except for the five books is basically rabbinic it's an it's God's explanation through the prophets what exactly the five books mean okay there's always a reflection there's nothing in the prophecy the prophets it is new it's always revealing something that's already known right because they cut the job of the prophet is to rebuke the people so in Habakkuk chapter two verse 5 a holy man whose dwelling shall not remain what does that mean that the haughty man will be afflicted with leprosy and he will not be allowed to remain in his house he is to go outside of the camp we all know that is what happens when someone is with surahs' he gets examined by the Kohen he goes outside the camp stays there until the co and allows him to come back in so what is the clear car say based on that verse governor here look in their shallow Yishai urban novice shallow he will not remain in his house he will not remain it as dwelling leticia so for the Yeshe baaaad Macoutes lahmacun an because he has to remain alone right his his end result will be to sin alone to dwell alone outside of the camp now this is again the proof that this did not happen to Israel the elias travel team i mean even if Lewis Moshe if the Jewish people had not believed in this the prophecy of Moses the stomach assured the motel meaning that means they would have suspected him they don't believe this prophecy that means they're basically saying God didn't appear to you and you made the whole thing up kill evolved or hitched RelA and who wrote sila Mishka in the marsh come back rob basically if they didn't believe in him then it was on account of just because he wanted the authority and the power over them that's why he was make these laws for them to follow him course they didn't believe that they believed that Moses was the prophet of God and they did it willingly real Ohio and Rhema love because if they would have said lo near Allah God right if Hashem did not appear to you if they would have said that Russian no chaos now here it means as rebuke how you violate MacLeod miss a pre-election era that would have been if they would have said God did not appear to you then for sure that would have been Russian Hara Machine 8 study mainly on all came before us now I have a question what does it mean from both aspects now the clear car the click our regional originally said two out of the seven arrogance and lush in Hara it either means that when he said when he says mr. Mushnik Adeem because of these two things they were stricken meaning and again we're talking about who cara of course they weren't so was to discuss them but that's why they would have been or made me from denying his prophecy in the russian hora so I'm not sure which way to go but he says I'll came closer and then I'll motion shikou shodam loca din therefore it comes back logically on Moses because he's the one who suspected I'm use rel of having a lack of faith which they did not have it wasn't proper had it been proper he would never have come down with leprosy so this is the first answer of why was it specifically leprosy now we're going to go into why it was his hand specifically so we said it didn't make any sense why it says biade machette just say limo sure it was threw him right through Moses why do we have to save the hand of Moses I think you got you're already getting a little idea about the hand of Moses so cuz I'll tell us again this is an arrogant 15b so that would probably be number ten on the source sheet and we'll take the first verse for example novice the Heian be awed Lashon it says death and life how would you translate be odd LeSean through the tongue right you would translate life and death that the life are through the tongue but it says be odd just say love wash on right or somehow the bit lush on but why say out the yard and the click RS next in question which we should have all asked ourselves the key HD a blemish on is there a hand is there a hand in the tongue does the tongue have a hand why does it say where is it again death and life are in the hand of the tongue it's a great question it's harder than air yeah we're number 10 on the sushi the it's not even the clear cards question the good more asked the question so the Kimura gives an answer yeah it's in Proverbs 18:21 so what is it the Tommo tell us just as a hand can kill so to a tongue can kill okay now go back to the clear card second element me may miss a flush and mamie's just as the hand can kill so to a tongue can kill and now this is a very interesting I need to give a little background there between what we call Cree and Katif okay so in Jeremiah chapter 9 verse 7 if you actually look on the source sheet that I gave you there's a little parenthesis underneath the Hebrew that's telling you the way it's written is not the way it's read we have a tradition right there's no vowels at all in the text that we receive but we have a tradition from Mount Sinai please for the 5 books how to read and what the words mean and for the prophets we have the same thing not from Sinai per se but from the prophets themselves that this is written one way but you read it a different way and what that means is you actually have it's like a multi-universe you have the way it's pronounced that means the way it's read and that can have one meaning and the way it's actually concretize on the black ink on white paper right in this case not just Nestle paper but parchment you have a different meaning both meanings are true both meanings have reality but when how the variables so this verse says their tongue is a deadly arrow it speaks to see we're all gonna deal with the first three words each one speaks peaceably peaceably with his mouth to his neighbor but in his heart he lays a trap for him look at the first three words hates which is a pair o shahu aku means deadly leshawna so their tongue is a deadly arrow however even though that's the way it's pronounced how is it written Shu hot so the difference would be is the person themselves being the one who kills meaning the show cut the stroke head the one who kills as opposed to one that which is deadly so the the era being deadly so what do we understand like this hija Raisa bolillo choke a clock a rhenium such acute the one that comes to kill others he himself is killed someone who tries to slaughter others measure for measure karma I don't know what word I don't like Karma but I don't know a measure for measure this is what a Shem has the one who's this is what that one word with the two ways one is the way it's read and one is the way it is prism written has double meanings that they're both true that one is being killed and one is to kill why because we know a famous concept that's brought down in the Midrash that kill us and hearts lost a cocktail that when people speak loshon Hara it kills three people three people are a severely affected by lush and Hara by evil speech the one speaking the one listening and the one being spoken about so - Cara hiya back Lao Kate ikot lazy Cara was I would say put amongst the worst kind of human beings he was in a category of late seemed jesters scoffers okay as the measure says now this is a little bit complicated but for those who have the source she's can see it that the rachet tables of korah the the acronym ruth raysh set stands for Kesha Troma and careth these are three instruments of war that are used quite frequently in the in the different verses in the Torah and there's one specifically in Psalms chapter 57 verse 5 so the word come to K the kouf of Kharak would be for the cash it which is the bow in the arrow the Roma is the spear and a sheriff is a sword so look at the verse in Psalms my soul soul is among lions I lie among men who are a flame their teeth are like what like their teeth imagine what are you talking about a mouth Spears and arrows and their tongue is like a sharp sword okay we're talking about slander obviously okay I think that's very cute and worthwhile taking to consideration we ever going to speak Russian are again well we'll think twice about it the least right ok what's the last question we're left with why war according to most opinions anyway why were kurakin is a de not afflicted with surahs' we've been building this thesis all along that they should at least Rashi says well with less human Rashi says in heaven maybe we'll see it differently the very first Rashi it's the midrashic interpretation of lo refers to Korra what does it mean by the hand of Moses why not just simply say to Moses so he says it doesn't say that Cara got it it alludes to those who rebel against the Kahuna period they are stricken with surahs' how come how come the karak his whole thing was going against Kahuna and he was not stricken with the thrust you see now to read it and so we have a very famous concept in Judaism that is whenever somebody has two punishments coming to them right the court decided basically right you have he's guilty of two crimes he stole something which means he's to pay it back and at the same time he desecrated Shabbos which the punishment is not paying it back but it's the death penalty right there's nothing you can do to get out of it so I mean look you could say you pay it back first and then we'll kill you know the death penalty's gonna happen on the same day you don't have to pay it back he's excused okay so basically it's the severe the most severe punishment is what is meted out and the other ones are I don't know if the word excused acquitted I don't know I don't know the word but he's it's not executed the lower-level verdicts it's only the harshest and most severe so what was Cara guilty of obviously of the death penalty because that's what happened to him so therefore the leprosy punishment was not executed on him okay so that is called kill a bitter Abba mean a right the worst punishment will be meted out shriek far be car he was a total denier in God the Taurus Moshe and the prophecy of Moses Bratislava tell Herrera his goal was to uproot and to negate the authority of Moses Hashem is a hot side not on a dim shyam in have a bluing therefore what does he get from the aspect of the justice of logic he's gonna get swallowed up he's gonna get the death penalty he was swallowed up alive in the ground she cavora ah master chef Megiddo now either we're talking about Cara so basically he already saw the greatest miracles that sham did whether it was the ten plagues in Egypt or whether it was the splitting the sea or the actual revelation of Mount Sinai all the greatest things here at he saw but you know what he didn't see marshal Laura who used her a beastly hood Rishon sham Moshe nobody had seen that nobody saw that Moses was alone with God at the burning bush when this took place when the original conversation when Moses says oh they're not going to believe maybe they're not gonna believe in me with the theta so nobody was there nobody witnessed and so yes they all witnessed the great things of a sham but they didn't see that conversation now we know why our verse begins by saying as a reminder as the Quran they weren't there but this shouldn't they should know they should be on their minds right - what - make sure not to go against the prophecy of Moses as what it's a Ziggler live in Israel Amana Shalu you Krav East czar that nobody who is not right who's a foreigner should not come close to doing the service this service is reserved for the priests and that's it kids Orica rave a chorale a correct therefore any non Cohen who comes close to doing something that's not for him Mustafa who holy haloo on the Lewis Moshe he himself would be right the person who's coming to do the service of the temple when he's not supposed to is arguing on the prophecy of Moses when we come a comenzar Karev nevertheless wait to hear this that stranger the non Cohen that comes look yet kakora okay ah so this is a warning you know what not just a warning he shouldn't be he won't be swallowed up right the shovel boenish he will get only leprosy that was what car should have gotten kakora I tell you the heightened Godot leaves rule out that but the reason they did it because they had a much bigger sin so you would get god forbid you should be warned that if you go against Moses and his prophecy that the onus is surahs' heli yak I shared about Shambhu Yad motion low so this is where's now stuck with those last few words right what will be it will be as God spoke be awed Moses as Moses as trite as God spoke through the hand of Moses God was speaking through the hand of Moses Kim Moshe she looked as Moses was Shalaka beyond obiter us just as Moses his hand was struck with surahs' calf yucca betras coholic ahkahuna so to them the person who speaks against the the servants of God and I'm gonna just say this this is really interesting if you speak against the servants of God right God gave prophecy he says what is will be and if we anybody speaks against the servants of God would be stricken with the with leprosy that's how I see it in other words there's a group I don't know what they're calling I don't want to say you know they wrote their own New Testament right and it goes against the Word of God or like you have another religion somewhere else in Saudi Arabia I don't know exactly where it started but you also if they go against the prophecy of God visit there's a promise here that there is a punishment so I'm just warning you all you know like get with the program right check it out you know you know you they somewhat believe that's why most of them were right they somewhat believe but anyway so this is a really I think important lesson for us that we should have aw of Hashem and know that there is measure for measure this citizen so nicely we see these words we don't really know what they mean but we investigate further and deeper it becomes alive you know these verses in the prophecy becomes alive there's a lot of continent I'm with Corey beaut warning against Lashon Hara do not be like the ADA of don't be like Eric and his Ennis and his congregation don't start disputes right you want to help somebody be kind okay so they're not climb back figure a way to be more I don't know effective right or just stay away if they're very confrontational stay away but why create people have so many issues we all have issues so we have our own issues you can only imagine the issues the other person has right so we should have more rock mondo it's more mercy and figure a way to all get along but it's not the Shem have a great Shabbos won't get along I went in walking all home to Torah and I hope you enjoyed this and you can always go on to the website there's a link below and look at the source sheets you know yourself and hopefully you'll learn a little bit of Hebrew along the way okay so shabbat shalom [Music]
