The Book of Nechemia: Chapter 13 - Tovia the Amoni is Kicked Out of the Temple

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com and we're coming to the final parac parak yudgemo on that day on that fateful day on that great day what day was it we don't know but it was on that day nevertheless and we'll have to see Nick Rob is safe for Maisha they read the Torah of Moshe the book of Moshe now what's the book of Moshe which book is the book of Moshe the book of Moshe is safer mishna Tyra safer divarim they read it in the ears of the people the nimson they found custody written in it because until forever meaning forever now what day was this we're going to see the malam learns that there was a guy by the name of tovia now Tavia we had been introduced to before on two occasions actually on three occasions we were introduced to him in park Bay's pasta so if you turn back in your nakamiyas to park Bays pasta we were introduced to a man by the name of tovya there he's called by ishma sanvala tahirani sanvalet the man from basehoran heard now who was Sunvalley over there well there were different opinions some learned he was a Jewish apostate and on the other hand from the city of Base khoron however others um quoted over there Josephus who says San valid was a gentile whose daughter married a Jewish Cayenne and not only did his daughter Mary a Jewish Cohen but when the kohanimu had intermarried expelled their Gentile wives some ballot son-in-law refused and therefore he was disqualified from Kahuna now according to Josephus Sunvalley live to to witness the fall of the Persian Empire and then took up the hired and commissioned Alexander the Great to set up a rival temple on Hargreaves and that was San valent who's tovia the inclusion says enough that tovia was a slave from amine and he had a very Crush and his son married the daughter of mashulum Bin bharathia however we did not recognize tufia's marriage because he is inevident evid cannot come because that was the first time that we were introduced to tuvia then we were introduced to him again I believe it's in parag gimmel hey um these words interfering with the Reconstruction of the walls of yushalayim so if you look in possible hey fitoivia Hawaii even what they build if a facts would come they would breach the walls of stone so in other words tovia was um one of the people who were trying to challenge and interfere with the construction of the walls of yushalayim and not only that if you look in paragvov so we already introduced him a third time pasta give Zion Marvin that even once they rebuilt the walls of your shalayim um and you we would think tovia's power was diminished nevertheless the important people of Yehuda try to rub shoulders with tovia so this tovia was a slave from Ammon and somehow we're going to see through a political manipulations he was he managed to uh gain himself personal chamber in the basement came and tossed them you threw him out okay um and that says it was on that day the day that tovia was tossed that part of the reason why they tossed him was sir maybe we'll do it after okay because thank you but part of the reason why um it happened on that day is he was from Ammon and many Jews had married an intermarried so yeah swinging intermarried we just learned um two ProCom ago they signed the sharamana they signed a document of of allegiance to the Torah so how could they intermarry the answer is they signed an allegiance and then they fell again many Jews had intermarried again so they needed to be makhazik in other words in the times of Ezra Ezra made the Jews take an oath that they wouldn't intermarry for momentarily for a short amount of time they found they followed it and now Cameo needs to be makhazik that commitment that they made initially okay so it was on that day the day that tossed the politician from the temple necrobase for Maisha they read the book of Moses and as we mentioned the book of Moses was the album says was said differently than the rest of the Torah the rest of the Torah was shrina midab that Hashem spoke Adam Usher's voice back facts say for davarin moisha said navua like any other Navi Hashem and then Moshe relayed it that's the meaning of the uh the last um the second to last page of Magilla the gemara says you're allowed to be mafic in the club likes of mishna Tara and you're now to be mafic in the colors of Taurus because the Taurus and the colors of mishna Tara what does that means on his own so I believe the morale explains it just means it wasn't rather information related to Kalisa okay now why can't an ammonia mayavi come because they did not Advance they did not proceed to the Menace with water so someone comes to your house don't talk to them they don't want to hear you talk give them something to eat give them food give them a drink look what happened they didn't feed us they're out to curse and God overturned the blessing to a curse occurs into blessing so you'll say who cares that they occur that they hired billum but billum's curse didn't work so the positive saying that it didn't work not because billum didn't know what he was doing it's only because we butter some interfered now here's a very important thing the accusation over here of okay who is that accusation against or both well the ramban learns and devaram it is against Ammon however take a look at them is if they were afraid of you like it would sure indicate if they had a higher billum it would seem like they were afraid of you then they should have given you food to try to develop relations with you to divide to try to appease you and if they didn't give you bread that means they weren't afraid of you so they weren't afraid of you why they have to get higher billum another it says the mountain this is a double-edged sword against amanamaya are you afraid of us or not if you're afraid of us like you would indicate then you should have given us food to try to uh you hate us so much that even though you're not afraid of us you still want to harm us then you're out in other words it's not just two random things you didn't give us food and you try to harm us no even though you weren't afraid as indicated by the fact that you didn't try to appease us you still try to harm us okay and it was and they divided every Foreigner from claw Israel foreign any admixture the gay room the ammonium that got mixed up ah the model has Akasha like like the word means mixture the model has Akasha and this Kasha it's a stalker Kasha this is so the ramapan's nowaday we don't know I'm a lake we don't know I'm on mayav effects like where bishua says right in uh the famous by the way who remembers who is the girl goal of Nehemiah remember we learned we have Elizabeth nazaria who is the 10th Generation from Ezra was the girl of Ezra and RAM gam Leo was the Google of why did Ram gam Leo say to do to that but look yes you have to say there were a couple of who we knew who they were because the main Bilbo was from the uh which was after the Corbin listen to this the malvin says the main Bilbo was not only from San Jose it was from the buccaneza and that was after the Corbin and there were some some ammonium who were not mixed in so just thinking to say if you look into tomorrow bring them back they say maybe also near me I brought some of the back and those guys know he brought back the Jews I saw them you brought that yeah Bullock was the king of mayav but he himself was not familiar he was from mid John okay I think we see over here at Dover Pella unbelievable remember we explained that really the who remembers are the the name of uh the navi should have been Nehemiah right took credit for himself who wrote safer as a nakamia primarily Nehemiah but the gemara says that because the family took credit for himself the name of the safer was called safer Ezra La Mesa we call it today Nehemiah yeah so if you remember down that Ram gam Leo was the girl of Elizabeth was a Google of Ezra and the same way we took away safer Nehemiah was given taken of his nauseas was taken away from him given to zarya but when and he got his Shabbos back and he became three on him one through Elizabeth Azaria so nowadays we could also call it back right so it comes out who is so the mom listen to this the mountain has Akasha why are we so worried about that mice do you know that message not like that foreign [Music] did not come and it was not available you here saying the gamara says that it was revelation of Yeshua who held that ammonium could come because they can't like that's what is doing over here okay food for thought um and it was because before this the album is explaining it's the album explains that the Nabi now explains what caused that on that day they should be reading from ishnatara what precipitated the reading of mishna Tara why did they read barabim nobody should marry from Ahmed ah well his name is that because before this one he was given in the chamber of the base hamiktash meaning he had placed in the chamber of hashem's Temple now it doesn't say what he placed what did El yoshif place there look around people's name is before this karov lift up he was close to tovia says Rashi he was close to tibia he is the good friend of San Valas these two cover were the ones who instigated with the construction of the wall Caleb Shelton and this gave room to tovia to keep his in other words there was a chamber in the basement that was unoccupied and because it was unoccupied he gave it over to who now what's quite amazing is why was it unoccupied why was it unoccupied it was unoccupied because that's where they used to store the chuma some ice rice and now people stop giving the tumors a my source so aliashiv to get some political clout he gave over room in can imagine that's like giving imagine if in the White House they gave a room to uh to the PLO to to uh congregate I mean that's what was going on over there that El yashiv gave room to this tovia now look at them album that he made for tovia alisco Godzilla and the album learns that El yoshif also maintained his own list gusts and now they're both keeping you know um having real estate in the mcdush and we're going to see what you what was that let's go used to be used for English fundament in the past you know what they did there they put the flower for them the frankincense the hakalim and the vessels and the Maestro grain atirosh of gravesa of oil mitsasium which was the command to be issued to the levium foreign so the question is okay so why don't you do anything about it huh the reason is because and while this was all happening like how you see brush your line I wasn't there I wasn't on premises why hibiscus because in the 32nd year of our tashasta the king above I'll busts I had come to the king I wasn't even in Israel at the time I was in Babylon my king our top Shasta foreign not everybody I want who is King aratashasta dariavesh he's in parag Bayes plus like aleph that's probably why nobody answered because everybody remembered that in parag Bay is possible was Darius which Darius the son of Queen Esther right okay so I went back ooh a kid's young and after a small amount of time in the shouting I asked permission to leave so I wasn't there when all of this corruption was taking place in the temple avina and I realize was doing he was using he was manipulating his position to gain political Cloud lastly Nishka to make for tovia and for himself olishka the known interchangeable in the courtyards of the Temple that is I didn't like this and I tossed every last article of tovia out of there I just threw it out one day Tavia came to work and he saw another in the trash bin his mattress all of his stuff it was all thrown out volume raw and then I gave the following commandsoft has purified Kim and I restored there the vessels of the House of goddesses the flower of Alabama and the frankincense foreign and I knew kimanoia is that the gifts to the Levites were not given what does that mean it took over the room they didn't get them is nice yeah and now the levium because remember we they made a takana in order to facilitate the Levine working in the Midas they made a takana that people would bring the Truman samisos to the mixdash and then Levine would not have to go around to the fields to collect it but now the levim had no choice but to do what to go collect it have you ever who is this although every man had to run away to his field television the living room the singers oise nobody could stay there anymore Rashi says everyone had to go this way in that way to ask for the gifts and they couldn't do the avoida the malvin says more than that not just they had to take time off of work to go collect the uh gifts they had to go work themselves instead of working in the basement they had to get jobs they had to work in real estate in order to provide for themselves the mountain says elastic bad boy that's how they saying so I battle the Nobles volume run I said if they saw like him why did they forsake the house of God why is the house of Hashem forsaken same I gathered the Levine together and I stood them up on their post I restored them right she says I gather the priests the Levites to set them up on their post and now all of Kaliso could bring them their matanos abroad the ties the grain wine oil to the storehouses and I appointed administers on the storehouse as I appointed treasurers who were they shalemiah and the Cypress near them next to them their assistants were you know I hired these people guess why they were considered honest ly and it was their responsibility to divvy out to their brothers and after Nathaniel lists all of his accomplishments of ridding the Temple of this corruption he says remember me God for this let my kindness not be erased like Allah Kai what I did in the house of God and in his and with his posts with his guards in other words re-established the watches of the Levine if you look at them sudais to him so I just want to point that Hashem gave me a big Matana just now and that is how many times in this parag does say God remember me for good so over here in pasta good Allied foreign yeah wow how beautiful that fits into the because learns that who is how many times did rum gum Leo challenge of yeshuan sort of exert his authority three times right remember now she brings it down and then foreign [Music] and then over here so maybe if they uh if it was the sort of the same repeated sin of exerting too much Authority it would be very nice that it had both occasions happen three times okay next thing on those days I saw among the people of Yehuda torch him guitar is pressing the mass the Shabbos now pressing grapes is a Toda of Dash threshing um they would bring the bundles and they were loaded onto the donkeys did they load it on Shabbos or did they load it before we'll see the office they also loaded wine grapes figs and all bundles and they brought it to us on the Sabbath and I warned them on the day of selling Provisions that the market day was uh Saturday and I warned them on that day now it seems like there's a lot going on here first of all they were loading um they were pressing pressing Isa loading could be carrying what about your animals carrying Freon Shabbos yeah that's also an essential well let's look at them album then another thing that happened and the album says the plastic is listing their infractions in order from most severe to less severe they the pressing the wine Vats is a Mr skila loading up the animals Maybe did on air of Shabbos but it was brought on Shabbos and that's Mr direisa but it's on Mr skila and Nash says I wore them on Market day they treated Market day as a business day you know how to do Commerce on Shabbos the tyrions the tyrions the people from tire from Tsar Joshua the they also would sit there by the market Naveen Doug they brought fish after all even if even if you work on Shabbos you still have to have gefilte fish right it's not astira many hi Michelle you know but you always have to have your fish um what what's going on over here the Melbourne says that because it's the because there was a market and the Jews were selling many Merchants from other nations settle there and they would do business on Shabbos thank you and by the way business this was before the Issa of muksa was ever established says because of this incident they were Isaiah they made them the Israel says argued with the officers what's this terrible thing you're doing hell don't then you learn your lesson the first time don't you know this is why we got kicked out of emergency so the first time this is what your fathers did is throw cans of paint on them no half gun out but he went to them he said what are you doing you can't do this then you learn your lesson of from history don't you know the verdict of history when the Jews in the Holy Land don't keep Shabbos they're out of there so fast now you're adding insult to injury said I have the keys of the city I'm locking the doors that's it the city's closed on Travis line as the gates of you slime were shaded in other words as the shades of the afternoon were tilting on air of Shabbos I commanded to lock the doors that they should not be open till after Shabbos so that the merchants can I come into the city to desecrate the Shabbos [Music] so in other words as Friday was getting late but I'm right commanded by you suggests as they locked the doors while Imran I commanded you've told them they cannot be opened our Shabbos and I appointed my guards who may know all right and my guards established on the gates no deliveries so what do merchants do they slept outside the city hoping that some Jews would come out of the city to buy small merchandise and smuggle it back in so says the merchants slept umkar and all the sellers in other words they didn't close down the the uh the flea market that was taking this taking a place outside they went they slept there around she says one time two times so the Jews should come in and open the gates and bye foreign against you I will kill you said if you do this again I will kill you that's Gus he has a backbone the Ebenezer says don't I will ring your neck I will personally slit your throat if you can't sleep what do you mean we're not being Masala Shabbos we're just setting up shop over here says I I'm not my Mafia me I will kill you if you continue and he said this to the nations of the world do not encamp around the holy city of yushalaya so yeah when you're dealing with Shabbos desecrators it's not necessarily the right thing to be throwing paint at them or to be but there has to be strong voice against it you can't just the soft tongue we have precedent you need to speak out forcefully with conviction and speak up for for Shabbos observance the man who wrote a horse did publicly yeah so this is a very uh [Music] this is a strong stance okay we hope to finish next time you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
