in the aliyah of shaini we continue our
discussion of the consecration of the
levine
but we're told that the levine were not
consecrated in a vacuum but rather they
replaced the bahrain and as we know
the torah tells us that after makkah's
bachoros
in mitzrayim when hashem killed the
firstborn of the egyptian families
all of the firstborn of the jews every
firstborn child of the jewish people was
dedicated and consecrated to akarash
baruch to hashem
however we know
that because of their involvement in the
caita egel the brim were not permitted
to retain that level of dedication and
therefore the levine replaced the
baharim
as
baruch's assistance
israel all consecrate the levium to
replace the bahrain the aliyah then
describes the age at which the levium do
their avodah the levium worked in the
base hamikdash the torah says from the
age of 25 to 50.
in reality the mafashima say that really
the olivia began their vote at age 30.
so what was the initial five-year period
of 25 to 30. so rashi says those initial
five years were years of apprenticeship
when the livium would train how to do
their avodah properly in the mesa
mikdash the rabban says that the five
years were not an apprenticeship but
rather the five years were years of
volunteer work at 30 they were assigned
a role but from 25 to 30 they had the
ability to volunteer and to help out in
the mesa mikdash in a volunteer role
after age 50 levium could no longer do
their main avodah which was to carry the
mishkan and the calum however the
mufarsham tell us they were still
permitted to do the other havodos such
as guarding the gates of the of the
mishkan
and according to some they would still
sing in the mishkan although according
to the ramban they stopped singing at
age 50 as well
if you look at possible tests possibly
test is fascinating because in possible
tests the words beneath israel appear
five times
israel says hashem i will give the
livium to aaron and his sons
to serve the avodah of the israel
look
will not have any sort of plague as rene
israel approached the coalition the
question is why is the term binet israel
used so often five times in one passage
says rasheeds to allude to the love that
akash baruch who has forbidden his
father just like hashem loves the torah
and just like the torah the five books
of the torah the hamish
are so integral to who we are as a
people so to hashem has an incredible
love for the jewish people just like
those five books of the torah really in
essence we also see the connection
between cloudy israel and the torah as
the tsar tells us quoted by many many
that the jewish people the torah and
really all one and we see this
connection between
and
israel and the torah in the five times
that venezuela has mentioned in possible
tests
