He Went With All the Best of His Master In His Hand with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom Alim everybody Welcome Home to Torah a War welcome home to Torah we're at the I mid which actually we're actually guests still at the ER B midash and for those who are unfamiliar with what we do here we use the clear as the topic as the basis for our discussion we're in par but before we begin we have great news uh we finally found the home after 10 years we are going to have a sh a b midash um we'll have kessid projects helping the community we have classrooms a working kitchen for life cycle events weekly Kish on Shabbat and everything that a a center for a community can give we're here for you and uh anybody that has like let's say the initiative to start a project and would like us to help or to be a home for you please get in touch in contact with me um if you want to partner with us it's a great opportunity you know to dedicate the AR kodesh or the beima uh whatever we have lots of sparing we need um bookcases you can dedicate a bookcase anyway if you're interested in a major dedication you can contact me directly otherwise and we encourage you to do so there will be a link below in the description box and um it's also on our website so you could donate okay so we deal with the fundamentals here and when I say fundamental I mean the fundamentals there Concepts in Judaism that are passed down from generation to generation from Moses right God spoke transmitted to Moses Moses transmitted to Joshua and so on and so we're dealing with the text and it's very textually uh oriented so you don't have to know Hebrew although it's good to follow with the original Hebrew sheets you can find also a link below we do encourage you um to learn Hebrew to follow along that's just an encouragement I think that um the English translations are never sufficient any English translation is by nature a an interpretation and we want to get into the the nitty-gritty of what it really is saying and we're using the CLE car as the basis as I said so we're going to be in chapter 24: 10 now keep in mind you have to know the text I'm not I'm not going to give so much background uh basically elazar is going as an agent to find a wife for Yak on behalf of Abraham in other words Abraham is sending his loyal servant elezar who happens to be a Canaanite to his hometown where he came from or at least where his family is located somewhere in Syria around narim and verse 10 says and the servant took 10 camels of his master's camels and he went and these are going to be the words we're going to focus on and all the best of his master was in his hand those words and he arose and he went to a to the city of now the the Hebrew is so he took the servant took 10 camels of the camels of his master and he went and these are the words and I mentioned them in English already and and all the best of his master was in his hand it says the what does that mean all the best of his master was in his hand and the rest of the verse was he rose and he went now Rashi says right away he wrote a gift of deed to Isaac for everything he owned does that make sense yeah if he wants to impress the the girl or the family as Rashi says so they would hasten to send their daughter so he's looking for he doesn't know who it is yet he's going to find a wife for yak and I guess what they call you know dowy a gift there's some kind of um not going to call pressure let's call it an enticement there's some kind of enticement but it's very odd the Rashi says and it's right he's got it from somewhere that he wrote a gift of deed to to Isaac in other words Isaac will own everything and the girl would be impressed that Abraham happened to be the richest man in the area and he was well known to be wealthy and of course he's a family member of these this area that he's going to so they would know that and that yak would be the inheritor so that is simply the the verse as well as Rashi so the cleard begins right away you notice that the verse is very vague it doesn't tell us exactly what elezar had in his hand he had to see Rashi that he had some kind of a deed that Isaac would be the inheritor or maybe it was already written off while he was still alive that Isaac was already the owner as we'll see but the clear says right away there's nothing nothing explicit in the verse to let us know what it was Al now he's he's has a little bit of a different take than Rashi he says you know what it sounds like it it's very simple and it's easy to understand if it's going after the well we do see later on a few verses later um you'll find that in um chapter 24 same chapter but verse 22 right it says over there when the camels concluded drinking the man took a gold nose ring whose weight was one half shekele and two bracelets to put on her hands whose weight was 10 shekels so Looking Back Now we understand what he had in his hand I mean if we didn't have Rashi to tell us it was a deed it was the dowy it was some kind of it was jewelry okay that's all very fine but what the car is about to tell us is that these particular items are a hint to something else and maybe I'll spoon feed you a little bit because the question we're with what was it that he had in his hand what was the gift and really the gift had to do with a Torah lifestyle he was offering this woman who was not a Jews at the time right she was just a family member talking about Rifka uh he didn't know it was Rifka at the time but he was bringing NE zav right this was the gold nose ring Becca Mish the weight of 10 we'll see 10 shekels and two bracelets okay interestingly there's a mraa that explains right there you look at number two on the swore sheet that I gave you there was a precious there was a precious stone in it that weighed half a sheo the two bracelets to put on her hands correspond to the two tablets the Ten Commandments whose weight was of 10 shekel we 10 shekele really what we're saying is it had 10 Commandments on it so even though the pic says that it was the weight of the this gold the gold um nose ring I think it's quite heavy I wouldn't want to put that in my nose but uh that it weighed 10 shekos and that corresponds to the Ten Commandments okay so the two bracelets represent the two tablets and by the way when we're at Mount Si and we received the two tablets with Ten Commandments this is like a a little bit of a hint to a marriage because through proxy Eleazar when he gives her this gift they're basically married even though she's not he's not pres Isaac's not present and that is the by the way that the doesn't have to be present he can send an agent to marry someone on his behalf of course we're not talking about the consummation of the marriage we're talking about the H entering of the marriage through the receiving of the gifts uh by the way Rashi on that verse the verse of chap 24:22 says what do you mean half a shekele this alludes to the shekels of Israel that each Jew gave um you know what we're going to say at the time of the dedic of the U the truma to give to the building of the mishan uh two bracelets this is an illusion to the two tablets paired together and it weigh 10 sheo this is an illusion to the Ten Commandments um inscribed on them so of course he got it from the mid itself no problem with that but we're going back into the clear because so far simply according to the clear pup shot the simple explanation would be looking back after seeing what it says in verse 22 now we understand what it was in verse 10 perhaps except we're going to go further Abraham was actually sending a sign the we're talking about the uh the Ten Commandments the sign was regarding the Ten Commandments that were on the two tablets through the gifts that he gave her and now remember it said the all the best all the good stuff that his master had given him in his hands right so the clear explains what is the word Tove Tove means good it means good well guess what according to the tud and the the explanation of K Tu always represents the Torah and we have verses right it's a good purchase that hem has giving us that's the Torah there's nothing greater there's nothing better that's what to means the best there's nothing better than the Tor and that's why it says all the best of his master and the clear says this is the truest good this is the best good there's no better than this the Torah like I said he was offering her a Torah lifestyle remember what could it have said what should it have said that it did not say it would have made sense to say all of the property all the Acquisitions all the wealth of his master wouldn't that have made more sense in the verse that he took with him the 10 camels and all of the property or all of the R means property you know the the wealth nope even though the first Rashi we read was that he gave mid that or he you know he gave the a piece of paper that showed it was gifted already to Isaac which implies wealth well guess what now we understand it means Torah right a Torah lifestyle Torah values and the ends this paragraph by explaining that with the help of God the cleard will explain some of these hints as we go along okay that's the first paragraph the second paragraph we're dealing with verse 12 verse 12 even the verse says in English and he said oh Lord so elezar is having a conversation with god some of the things he's speaking to himself some of the things he's thinking in his mind but for the Practical narrative at this point in 12 he's speaking to God and he said oh Lord the god of my master Abraham please cause to happen to me today we're going to focus on those words what does that mean please cause to happen to me today and perform loving kindness with my master Abraham I mean look his mission was to find a wife so let it happen that I find her that's true look in the Hebrew the Abraham right oh my Lord master of my ma God of my master Abraham let it happen let it happen before me today those are the words we're going to focus on what does that mean and he asked please perform a kindness for my master Abraham so the clear Begins by saying some say Shar this is what elzar was saying he was praying to hem that God should y you know it's based on the word to invite or to summon to allow it to happen that God would produce a n a woman who would be most fitting right AA means important esteemed very you know uh classic lady you know someone who's fit an esteemed person but someone who's very important she CL now this is not going to be very PC okay so when he says a young lady who's who's who's of a certain status who's esteemed it's not the way of women to go out at all meaning to walk in the streets and to be known in the streets no so how's he going to find a woman who's fitting for Isaac for y Abraham's son someone who's kind of Hidden Away modest LEF so he was praying please allow at this moment when I'm coming into town I'll find her because she'll go out even though she's not the type to go out how am I going to find her if I don't see her so he's praying that at the moment that she should be found that she should go out in order that she's not to be like the way of those who go out right she's a very modest woman she doesn't go out but I want to find her that's why it says now in verse 16 it calls like this in verse 16 it says now the maiden was very a very comely appearance okay she was very pretty means and a virgin which a man had not known now why do I need those words a man had not known isn't a batula isn't a virgin a woman who a man had not been intimate with in other words why do you need to say a virgin and so Rashi says there when it says a virgin we're talking about a virgin um in the front you know in the place of her virginity as opposed to this is according to Rashi that no man had been intimate with her perhaps in an unusual way not in the normal way and he adds since the daughters of Gentiles would preserve their virginity but were promiscuous in unnatural ways um so basically this statement is to show you that she was completely innocent it attests that she was not violated not from the front not from the back um but so this is giving testimony that she was not violated so the clear says it's not that it's not like Rashi says I'm saying Rashi says it but the clear has a deeper understanding as as opposed to the P shot of Rashi that she wasn't violated in in any way but that she wasn't even recognizable she was so modest so t that nobody in town only her closest Family recognized her because she really didn't go out ke except for this time because since she didn't go out but he prayed that she should go out in bikra right in the circumstance where he would find her that's why he's asking that he should find her that he that she should appear and when she does he asks her directly he he asked her directly in verse 23 um and he said who daughter are you B me now why would he ask her he could have asked the other girls hey who's that girl and the CLE card is going to say even the girls didn't recognize her meaning the the the gossip Club nobody even knew she was they didn't recognize her according to the CLE car L the clear asked why didn't elazar asked the other women who were there it seems like no doubt that she really was never outside alone since it actually says a man it doesn't mean a man as a masculine it means man as a humankind didn't know her lo The Other Women did not even know her now it could be someone asked me the question today so if that's the case I mean it's hard to understand she probably went to the well many times um right she was familiar with the well this time I say not necessarily remember there's a difference of opinion how old she was and may again may seem controversial the opinion there's one opinion that she was 3 years old now that doesn't mean that he had intimate relations with her he actually waited 10 years till he had relations with her so she was already 12 13 maybe even 14 there is an opin that she was 14 which would be hard to justify how she was never at the well it would be more easy to understand how she was never at the well if she was only 3 years old because that could have been the first time and we're going to see she was such Aid um she was such a kind and generous person and she would do acts of kindness that this would be like maybe let's say the first time outside the house doing such an act now we're in verse 14 and 14 we're going to spend a lot of time on on this verse and the verse in English says chapter 24:14 and it will be that the maiden to whom I will say so this is this is um Eleazar speaking to himself and it will be that the maiden to whom I will say lower your picture and I will drink and her response will be she will respond to me by saying you drink and I will also W your camels have her you that's Hashem designated for your servant Isaac meaning you God's servant for Isaac and through her may I know that you have performed loving kindness with my master now in the Hebrew I just want to focus on that latter part where we say right the um right lean over pour over your picture and I will drink if that's what she says to me that's what I mean assuming right she'll say that to me and then she'll say stay drink the G and also your camels I will provide drink and then the latter part through her may I know that you have performed right um this love and kindness my master by I'm Sorry by designating um her for Isaac her you have designated for your servant for okay there's a lot here to unwrap simply put Rashi says this idea that you have designated you have designated you know that he would know she's worthy of him for she will perform acts of kindness as she is fit to enter the house of Abraham remember Abraham is an is okay so the main and I'm giving it away here but the main character trait that he is looking for through all the different tests is is she worthy of being Isaac's wife of being Abraham's daughter-in-law through the ACT ofid is she concerned about others okay and the word as we said h means that you choose okay another rash I want to see over there on this verse 14 that you have performed loveing kindness Hashem if she will be from his family and fit for him I will know that you Hashem performed loving kindness by putting a perfect match together for this family she's got all the ingredients to enter into the Covenant and into under the the wings of the sh as a righteous convert okay so here we have Rashi says we're back in the CLE car Ru Hilo that she would be fitting for Isaac for him why because of this character trait that she's very charitable now just we're going to do some contrast the clear says take a look back at Genesis 23: 1-20 you'll seeon we had the sale of right Cur arba for burial place for Sarah Abraham was involved in this sale with Ephron the hittite and um he was a Canaanite okay how do we know that he was a Canaanite if you look in chapter 10 ver1 15 you'll see that number eight on the sore sheet Canan begat sidon that was his firstborn as well as that would be the hites come froma Canan so they're Canaanites and remember Abraham did not want a Canaanite wife for his son Yak okay but what's wrong with the Canaanites that he did not want them to marry him okay in other words is this a racist issue no they are the opposite of his family his family is GID his family is somebody even if they were Idol worshippers which they probably were over there in Aram he was looking for somebody who had the good character traits ofid so so the the the um Ephron who he's dealing with we'll see had a very bad character trait remember when he was selling him the the maramet he was really greedy he wanted a lot of money okay and this is what the Canaanites he says from zerak Canan from the seed of Canan and we saw the verse 10 chapter 15 and the description of Ephron is Ephron is now keep in mind with the word raw iron if you would translate it literally you would think he has a evil eye right an eye that is evil we're going to translate it as stinginess the opposite of an uh the opposite of a generous person he was the opposite he was tight he was stingy he was trying he was greedy we're going to call him greedy and you can find this in braid Raba uh 587 that's number nine on the source sheet gives us all the the different verses during that sale uh that he basically was trying to milk Abraham for much more because of the type of currency if you turn to page three on the English sore sheet towards the bottom of the uh of that uh number nine um there's a verse in Proverbs 28:22 it says about a greedy man a greedy man rushes after wealth he does not know that diminishment will befall him so in Hebrew it's in the last part that I readal is RA see the word ra a greedy man so we know what a greedy man is ephra was a greedy person as this um this medish continues on to say it's embra 587 and this refers to Ephron who was a greed who cast a greedy eye upon the wealth of this righteous man Abraham and what about the latter part of the verse right and he does not know that diminishment will befall him and as the Torah diminished the letter in so in Efron has said many times in these in that chapter 23 during that negotiation but there's one particular verse where we see that the word Ephron is spelled without a so I want to show you this verse and I want to show you the commentary in the art scroll on chapter 23: 16 so the art SC explains right the word Ephron is spelled without a V all the other time Ephron is with a V so the art scroll says Throughout the chapter ephron's name is spelled with a V but here where money changed hands and the sell was consummated the VV is omitted thereby the Torah implies that his stature was diminished he started out by making grandio offers of a gift right oh yeah you know I'm going to give it to you for free even a gift but then revealed himself as a greedy man who who extorted more than the property was even worth for in the end he demanded from Abraham what we call large shekels there's different types of shekels and he asked from the uh the highest level um for merchants okay and today let me just say what he says as the tal B 87a explains each shekele that AR used to pay for the plot was worth 2,500 ordinary shekels thus Aram paid a total of one million ordinary shekels for the cave now this illustrates Abraham's love for Sarah and the importance of this burial site okay let's continue with the clear we're in the third line down the fourth line down in that paragraph This is exactly why he did not want his son to be married to the Canaanites because of this Balon hor because of this attribute that they um held on to which was greediness a love for money you know what KF does you know what money does money is a revelation and a test testimonial on who you are and everything about you you can tell so much about a person and how's that I'll say it outside first of all the words of kazal is you can recognize a person you can know a person because we say Co K the same letters with a little bit of a different valorization Co means a cup we see what they do when they drink when people drink right as they say the wine goes in and the secrets come out in fact that's the same gatria wine and secrets Y in v and so the wine goes in the secrets come out so you can tell a person do they get angry or do they get all kinds of lovey-dovey right are they are they well behaved or not so that's Co what about keiss keiss means a pocket it means like a purse like money so you can tell what they spend their money on what do they get upset in a business deal is it over the money or is it over certain principles like so that's a number two that's Co keiss and what's KAS KAS means anger now anger is something one should stay far away from but there are times there's it's permissible to show not to be but to somehow show what really you're concerned about perhaps in a forceful way we call anger and so what do they get angry about and how do they handle their anger are they well controlled they're just showing a certain force or are they angry and out of control and God forbid even over Petty things so he says here that every person is recognizable through his purse if he is pure or upright in his actions core now these two words are a little bit hard to translate but BM we have a verse in Proverbs it's actually 27 verse 21 do we have it right here yeah number 10 on the sore sheet so the word mat Matra Matra is something very hot we're going to call it a furnace and um a is like a a um a Melting Pot of some sort so it says in um let me just finish the first sense you don't have either a crucible or a furnace in order in order to test somebody these things like heat you up they're very let's say testy right regarding a person if um the only thing that really you can test a person on is money and gold silver and gold through silver and gold that you can put them to the litness test see King Solomon said in Proverbs 27:21 he says the refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold and a man according to his praise so you can tell a person in other words to test them through the heat of silver the and another type of heat in a test towards gold so in other words in order to put someone to the test follow the money I've I've heard that before follow the money Theo see what his behavior is it good or not I'm sorry and similar using the word cor same thing as this perhap this this pot this furnace to test a person you go you follow the gold the and see how the person behaves and if the person stands in his righteousness he doesn't become corrupt he doesn't become a thief he doesn't become angry he's standing in his righteousness he's maintaining his righteous behavior in a business deal or dealing with money so all with all of his resources whatever he's acting on will reveal if he's virtuous or not right or not now elzar learned from this this was his whole test to find out if she has this character trait or not if she has a good eye again doesn't mean a good eye it mean it's generous right let's say for example you're cutting the bread and Friday night meal and you cut these little thin little pieces and give out little crumbs to everybody that means you're greedy and if you give out a nice size piece that can fill the person that's called a generous eye it's called I in Tova being gracious and generous and and she's very charitable this is what he wanted to know is she generous and charitable therefore he said and he's basically saying to himself the only thing I'm really asking from her or claiming from her is that she should just provide me something to drink that's it just me but if she responds back to me you you drink and also your camels so her response was greater than what he asked for he said I'm going to ask her just to give me something to drink and if she responds I'm I'm not only give you I'm also going to provide water for your camels what does that show there she certainly owns this character trait she's certainly a charitable person this is what the clear is saying that elzar is basically saying you know what the truth is she's even she's going to give me much more than what I asked her for right I only asked her to give me and she's going to if she's going to offer to also water my camels in came this is his response that you were um selected chosen for your servant for because his whole house Isaac Sarah Abraham the whole household was big they were enclosed enclo with the clothing of providing for others that was their whole makeup so to speak that was their the essence of the family and she would be certainly fitting for that okay let's go on the now from the aspect of a hint there's an illusion because we saw the words camels elezar took with him camels and this is what she's doing she's going to feed the camels the camels seem to play seem to play a major part in this narrative that's going on and the clear is explaining the very fact that it says your camels back originally in verse 14 right when we talk about the word mean bestowing kindness g means to bestow there's a gift there's some kind of kindness that's going on I just want to go back to the actual root of the word um in today's um you know Hebrew uh for pensiones and is calledo that's like the pension but that is the age of of pension where retirement so we have to figure out what the connection what's the um the the connection between pension and another when a child is breastfeeding and then they're weaned off the mother the weaning off the mother is also from the same roote of gal and also someone who might be adct to something when they go cold turkey or if they're using some kind of a um assistance to to wean thems off the drug that's also called G okay but it's bestowing of some sort so the clear wants us to see in in but also it's the PK we know that a camel is is not Kosher it's not Kosher um and in I mentioned it's Leviticus 11:4 and it just mentions about the camel not being kosher uh the verse describes that that's number 12 on the store sheet but we have a mid that tells us that each one of the different non- kosher animals that are listed represents different nations so just focus on uh the camel that represents Babylon now babyon was very kind just like America has been very kind to the Jews but Babylon eventually was destroyed destroyed and the PK in Psalms 137:8 oh daughter of Babylon who are to be destroyed fortunate is the one who repays you the word repaying you with recompense and the Hebrew do I have it yes number 13 the idea of paying you so this idea of repaying a recompense is also Gamal and that could why Babylon is symbolized by the camel I mean it is and it has to do with payment to say payment okay going back into the CLE car he also descri oh one second I skip something so we quoted the verse Ro what is the idea behind this that wants to be expressed meaning eler is saying to now I'm asking her for water from myself if she then adds and says also your camels I will cause to drink right I will provide water this is very significant because she loved this idea of you know payment of doing of helping others so much until she just loved anything that was even called which is the camel she loved the camels because the name of the camel represents gal G bestowing and therefore Z this something comes very natural for her and K tell us also similarly there is a bird called a stor that's also not Kosher it's listed in Leviticus 11:19 okay so they're called that's what it's called the bird the the word is which is kindness Rashi says it here and there's other places look in number 14 it says Leviticus 11:19 the St Rashi says regarding the St why is it called because it does kindness with its fellow Birds by sharing its food and the cleart says it could be the camels act a certain way as well certain kindness naturally he says I'm telling you what the says it's not that that far to try to explain the very word camel I have no idea you have to ask a camel maybe we'll look it up on Wikipedia another time but I think it's probably better to ask a camel driver if the camel some I saw where camels defend each other against attackers anyway so therefore what did she do she extended her kindness also to the camels it says even the camels I'm going to bring water to it shows you in the text how how much she loved this character trait of doing okay also teach us in gorus 24a now this is a little bit strange it says any bride any um fiance any girl that you're looking to marry right whose eyes are really nice the rest of her body it's not necessary to check out now that's very strange um what do the eyes tell you so when I was looking for a wife I asked my Rabbi what should I be looking for in a wife obviously we're talking about uh the character trait but in terms of I was wanted to know about the beauty part and he told me that if you could look if you could see yourself looking into her eyes he said if you can see yourself looking into her eyes in 60 years and they're still attractive to you that's all you're going to have left of her anyway in terms of her beauty so it's it's all the eyes it's the eyes are as I think they say the window of the Soul it's a soul connection and over here the clear says he's quoting from the gamor that any bride any kala her eyes are beautiful soon to be bride the rest of the body you don't need to check out he's very upset with this idea now it's true it's written in the and it it's a fact question is what does it mean it might not mean everything we just said he says this is confusing this is contradictory from all that we know there are many homely ugly PE ugly women maybe men too in this world who have beautiful eyes but the rest of them the rest of their body or right is not so nice maybe even I don't know he's not talking talking about character traits talking about the body and that's one big question because we're not into the body as he's about to say how did the rabbis even say such a thing why would the rabbis ever make a suggestion some kind of counsel some kind of advice to check after such external beauty it doesn't make any sense and right ways he says hello hello means is it not don't we have a verse in Proverbs 31:30 which we sing every Friday night right right that charm is false and beauty is futile and as Rashi says here no one Praises a woman for charm or beauty everything else um right it's all futile and false the only thing that really matters is a God fearing woman alone she is praised so the clear is going to tell us this idea now um right after the verse El there's no question absolutely the idea of the rabbis are saying look after her eyes is look after her actions that they place this advice which is to check after her actions is she into Torah and Mitzvah that's the advice that was given see check it out if she's generous if she is full of kindness if she's generous with other people with other creatures that's the only character trait you need to know because all the other good character traits are built upon this if she's a giving person if she's a generous person there's no doubt that all the other character traits are going to fall into place and K learned this from elzar this was the only character trait he was looking for uh for Isaac to marry into the family at that time it's the foundation it's the structural foundation for all the other good character traits now from a very simple um understanding it would seem that he took these signs to be basically coming to this idea I the only thing I really asked of her was please pour a little bit of water for me right just pour me a little bit of water and I'll drink that's all he asked he never asked her to water or you know to to give his camels to drink he never asked her anything about the camels you know find shelter for them none no none of that he didn't request anything anything about the camels but remember he said to himself if she would answer and come back and say you drink and I'll also give your camels to drink which she did that what is this a sign this is a sign that she has more compassion more pity for these camels than I have for them not that she has more pity for them than me that's that's not what it says that she has more compassion for the animals than I have for those animals then certainly some kind of spirit of God spoke to her and she understood that these camels will be hers how does she know when she marries y now we go back to that Rashi there was already a deed these camels don't belong to abah he took him from abam but he took the deed and he show right the deed says that they belong to Y but she didn't know that but if she marries y they're going to be hers as well and so she was taking care of them in other words he recognized that she was giving more concern for these camels than he was giving and the reason is because they were going to belong to her and he recognized that she had more pity or concern for the camels than he did first of all they weren't mine in the end they're going to belong to her and therefore she had pity on them because eventually they would be her own property so we didn't see that in the text right all this is coming out from reading the Hebrew understanding the clear thinking critically and there's a lot of lessons but number one should always remember the Torah is an instruction manual for life right it gives us meaning in every aspect of our life in our business
