comes to Mosheru and says, "If you want,
go ahead and send spies and let them
scour the land and bring back a report
to Benel. one person from every tribe
should go
the 12 uh the 12 spies that went and
were commissioned with a mission to go
into isel and to spy the land and the
names them in detail comes and says
listen I want you to go from the south
explains why the south what was the
reason to go from the south rashi writes
that generally when showing merchandise
you show the infer your quality first
and only at that point you show the
better stuff and that way it's more
valuable in the eyes of the customer. So
therefore
decided they should go from the south
where it's really inferior quality land
and as they continued north they would
see how virtuous the land is charged
them to go check out the city. Are they
fortified the people? Are they strong?
The wealth of the land is it fatty? Is
it prosperous? And they come back with
she come back with the actual fruits of
the land.
And it says there
this is time that the grapes started
ripening. It was a time in fact to
collect those grapes. It's interesting.
And the writes that the names listed in
the par were not the actual names of the
spies. It is a name that gave to the
spies based on the actions of these men.
And the question is why? Why weren't
they listed by their actual names?
And the answer is very simple.
And the writes used to say
a person's name causes him to have
certain qualities and strengths and
talents. You are born with inborn
talent. However, the name that your
father gives you is one thing and the
name that you give yourself is another
thing. We have to take all those
qualities that we were given and we have
to create a masterpiece. That is the
name that the Torah is going to
recognize. The name that we made for
ourselves. Not the gift that we were
given. What we do with that gift.
Have a wonderful day.
