we continue our discussion of the
consecration of the levian but we're
told that the levium were not
consecrated in a vacuum but rather they
replaced the bukharim and as we know the
Torah tells us that after Marcus bajoros
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
however we know that because of their
involvement in the eagle the bukhorim
were not permitted to retain that level
of dedication and therefore the levim
replaced the bukharim as
assistance in the base
Israel all consecrated levium to replace
the bahoulim the Aliyah then describes
the age at which the levium do their
avoda the levium worked in the base the
Torah says from the age of 25 to 50. in
reality the mefarsham say that really
the Olivia began their Abode 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 levium would train how to do
their avoda properly in the base
the ramban says that the five years were
not an apprenticeship but rather the
five years were years of volunteer work
at 30 they were assigned the role but
from 25 to 30 they had the ability to
volunteer and to help out in the base of
miktash in a volunteer role after age 50
Olivia could no longer do their main
avoda which was to carry the mishkan and
the Caleb however the mcfarsham tell us
they were still permitted to do the
other avodos such as guarding the gates
of the bit 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 post-secure tests plus
secure tests is fascinating because in
persecute tests the words Bene Israel
appear five times
Hashem I will give the Levine to Aaron
and his sons from Allah
Israel the Allah
Israel into a tone foreign
used so often five times in one pasok
says rashids to allude to beloved
just like Hashem loves the Torah and
just like the Torah the five books of
the Torah the hamishaitorah 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 Claudius
as the Zora tells us quoted by many many
that the Jewish people the Torah and who
are really all one and we see this
connection between
Israel and the Torah in the five times
mentioned in persecutes
