[Music] byar bolock Ben sear in the beginning of the para the Torah describes bolock the king of moov becomes nervous why does he become nervous now so the commentaries explained he becomes nervous because he was relying on the protection of the kings of Ami s and O the great Giants he thought that clol that was traveling through the midb they would never get past these two giants but when they get through the Giants and they wipe out the kings of so he sees this and bolock the king of May becomes nervous in order to fight against clol bolock realizes if he goes with the customary military battle he has no chance if clur wiped out the two giants he had absolutely no ability to take K foran and Military so he has a new plan he wants to employ billum the famous person who was able to have a special power of curse he was going to fight with spiritual power he was going to use the curse of billum to fight against CLA is he sends the emissaries to Bam's house to ask him please we're willing to pay we need you to be able to curse CLA Isel because it's our only chance that we'll be able to fight against them billum says I need to look into this he asked Hashem what do you think should I go curse the Jewish people or shouldn't I and hasem says at the end of the first alah do not curse the people because there are people that are blessed it's as clear as can be you ask a question you get an answer there's no way to reinterpret that and we see as we continue through the paraa billum ends up going with balak he ends up going with the king of May to curse Kel when you see that verse at the end of the first do not go and curse they are blessed people how do you misinterpret that how does that get lost in translation do not go pretty uh pretty clearcut levit explains when someone has their own agenda their own ideas of what they think is supposed to be done we have the ability to misconstrue the clearest of messages billum had an agenda he wanted to go curse the Jewish people he hated them and Hashem says do not go they are blessed as clear as possible but Bill in his mind ret translates it well do not go with these emaries maybe with another group I'll be able to go maybe under certain conditions he's able to miscon misconstrue the simplest and clearest of messages we have to make sure that we don't have agendas because when we have agendas and we're looking into something maybe we could misconstrue the clearest and simplest of messages [Music]
