there's a famous question from the
ramban
that ramban asks we all know
in the world there are millions perhaps
even billions
of different types of animals bugs
creatures fish there's almost no
recorded number
definitely not in noah's time of how
many creatures there are in the world
yet noah has commanded by hashem
to bring two from every single creature
into the tava
and somehow fit that all
into his terra that he built with food
for a year straight they were in the tv
for a year
that means the animals with their food
with noah and his family and their food
have to survive in the tabata that he
built says in a ban
there is no way that fit all that
he airs and he says even
if not still not enough to fit
all the trillions of different things
that needed to be inside
it must be
it must have been it was a miracle
it must be that a small place somehow
held more than its capacity
so the question is if anyways it's a
miracle
if anyways to fit all the people and all
the
animals and the creatures and the thing
that needed to be there was a miracle
so why spend 120 years building such a
massive
if anyways it's a miracle tell noah
build yourself a rowboat
small and somehow they all fit
why all the effort
ramban gives two answers one answer
a famous answer
he wanted the people of his generation
to see you're right it wasn't for noah
he wanted the people to see 120 years
watching this man this sadiq
building asking him what are you doing
and he's telling them there's going to
be a flood you're going to be destroyed
do you
and hopefully they would listen so
it wasn't for noah it was for his
generation it didn't help in the end
but at least he tried but the second
answer than a bun
is a powerful lesson true
yes it was a miracle anyway to fit them
all
but man has to do whatever he's capable
of doing noah had to do whatever he was
capable of hashem knew noah could go 120
years and build a tifa
and you must do your utmost when you
finished your utmost god does the rest
first he had to do whatever he could do
then hashem kicked in and did the
miracle for the rest
this is in our everyday lives a person
can't say
listen hashem gives pandasa hashem gives
health
i'm not even going to do effort for that
no that's the wrong way
you have to do whatever you can do what
you can
your utmost not only your paranasal
in all areas and hashem in learning
in every aspect of our lives do your
utmost
you do your utmost hashem will do after
that
the rest what you couldn't do shabbat
shalom
you
