Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: From Royal Hebrew Slaves to Royal Israelite Servants

[Music] okay welcome everyone to the ebony big Madras welcome home to Tora we have decided we're going to take it a little bit slower pace tonight in terms of the source sheet it's only one sheet and it's not even a full sheet so we're going to deal with some very nice deal with fundamental issues but this one could be really misunderstood in today's day and age do we have slaves we do I'm relook we have to admit that slavery has always been a problem and when the Torah says if you buy a Jewish slave so we're gonna discuss this idea fundamentally speaking that if you had a Jewish slave that you have to let him go you have to not just give him freedom you have to send him with a severance pay at the end okay it's an amazing concept now how did this person become a slave are you aware that we don't have any prisons in Judaism so let me just start I want to go back we're in Parshat Mishpatim okay it's right after the Ten Commandments were given they're not even Commandments are you aware that the first statement is not a command the Corinth obviously it's one of the 613 commandments to believe in God but I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage so what do you mean that's not a given a commandment in fact we don't call them Ten Commandments when we refer to them but they're called as Sarah to Dubrow ten statements in fact for those who are may be familiar with the rest of the Gentile world especially the Christians when they talk about Ten Commandments they don't count the first in they divide the second one into two that's how they have to come out with ten because how can they believe I mean first of all it's not a commandment it's I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt the house of bondage that's not a command it's informational it's it's a statement of fact for us majority of the rabbi's hold that it is a we'll call it a commandment to believe in even God okay so soon as they opened Parshat Mishpatim and we're not going to deal with the first verse because that was dealt with in other videos other classes so the very first verse we're dealing with was if you buy a Jewish bondsman he shall work for six years and in the seventh he shall go free for no charge okay we're gonna that we dissect the verse and in Hebrew it's key Ticknor every so he's called an avid ev'ry a when it's not even Jewish Li it's a Hebrew slave alright that's how you would translate Hebrew every and that's going to be very important for tonight's discussion so get this straight he's an avid he's a slave a servant now how did he become a servant and he yes is any specifically this case is where he dug him out somebody huh he doesn't just owe money he was actually a thief and he didn't he spent the money that he stole or whatever he took he no longer has possession of so we're saying that he was a thief who no longer has the articles of that he that he took possession of illegally and now what is he going to do of course in Judaism if you're you're caught right if you're if you're caught thieving and you lie or you try to swindle your way out of it so you don't have to pay double and it's also going to be important for a discussion tonight but in this particular case his family didn't come to help him because all you have to do besides repent is pay back what you stole and if you got caught and you lied so you're going to pay double so what happens his family where were they it's a mitzvah to help your own family members avoid jail time but there is no jail oh look at this there's no jail in Judaism but you're talking about a family member going and becoming a slave so this is not a normal slave situation it's through the court system so what does the court do I'd say look dude you just stole this you have to pay back guy says I can't pay it back but we're talk about a significant amount of money because if it was it was a small amount of money could probably come up with that amount of money to pay back this is money you can't come up with so the court is the court is going to let's say sell him to a nice Jewish family because I know in the in the Western world they even have discussions what exactly is a prison system is it for is it a penitentiary are you just being penalized and put away or are you being rehabilitated so in Judaism we don't even have a prison system like if a guy if a person accidentally killed somebody and there's a specific details about how this procedure went down we're going to call it manslaughter okay so he would go to a City of Refuge and that City of Refuge is a city of lithium who are learning Torah all day so he's surrounded by tsadikim and he's hopefully gonna learn what it means to have personal responsibility because he was really negligent remember it was called manslaughter it what he did not we're not talking about premeditated murder against somebody that he knew that he had it in for okay we're talking about a real accident that could have been avoided so he needs to learn something about personal responsibility so that's why a City of Refuge but that's not Jail maybe that's the closest thing we have so what about this guy that owes money there's no such thing as debtors prison right in other countries there is such a thing right but in Israel in a tourist State we don't even have debtors prison but we have this process this mechanism that's set up with the based in the court will sell the person let's say a hundred thousand dollars and now he doesn't I don't know the diamonds as he spoke got lost or he sold them and he he ate all the food that he bought with it I don't know but it's gone money so the court will sell him $400,000 right and pay the victim to win it's going to be a win for the victim because I don't know what happens in debtors prison but as long as you're in prison you're not making much money and maybe that's how they set it up that slowly if you're there for 20 years you know your monthly wages will go to the person so eventually justice will be accomplished in 20 years right you're not gonna make $100,000 in a few few months here that happens immediately the guy will get his hundred thousand dollars back isn't that beautiful and what about the guy who is being sold you would say well what about the family so the family its buying him they're gonna get six years worth of service so I guess they felt that $100,000 was worth it and at the end they're going to give him severance they're gonna give him clothing and some spending money and a few animals perhaps right as the verse will see the verse so it's going to be a win for the for the person buying and obviously for the guy who was in in up the creek so to speak who stole the money or stole the the products and he didn't have but he's gonna be rehabilitated right he's gonna be with a nice Jewish family if that owner leaved the one who brought him the we call him the master it only has one pillow or he has nice nice accommodations he has to give the same thing that he's sleeping in to the guy and not only that he's gonna also take his family in but he knows it's up front it's not like you know it's not there's no what's the word it surprises right okay with that in mind the real question the clear card is going to ask and I know this is on all your minds right everyone's asking this question after the ten commandments the greatest revelation of history right God's presence spoke to us gave us will call those ten statements which by the way are not just 10 statements just like the seven laws of naca not just seven laws there are many tributaries many subcategories right there's about a hundred laws when it comes to the north heights so to when it's ten there's really according to the British side you've gone on Raschi many of the opinions they actually include all 613 and how do we know count the letters how many letters are there in the first set of Ten Commandments 620 what are the 620 there's different opinions Ben 613 that's obvious it's the Commandments on the Jews and the last two words which are seven letters shared LaRocca according to some opinions it's a seven Noahide laws according to other pinions these seven principles of rabbinic judaism were given at our scene I will leave that for now but it comes out 620 is kept there right we all want to wear the crown of Torah this is it the ten to ten statements 620 so after that happened in parsha Europe which was last week's barcia we're now faced with Mishpatim which is a lot of we'll call civil laws right laws between man and his fellow man and how does it begin with this this is crazy if you ask me oh you if you have this how it begins like open the book in the first law if you haven't have a Jewish slave remember you have to let him go after six years don't forget this is like an important statement if you happen to have your the guide the nice guy who is helping out the court helping out this poor man who whose family didn't come to his aid who maybe are made hopefully he's a rehabilitator take him in he's gonna be part of your family right you're you're about you're about Hessian you're you're a very kind person right you've been you're not even going to give him work that you wouldn't do yourself that's how unbelievable it's set up for this win-win-win situation who would it would be interested in buying or purchasing a known criminal to live in their house so we spoke this out a little bit that we're talking about people with good will right people who want to do hesed they know the person perhaps that they know he's redeemable or they really believe that the person could improve I mean we really know the whole purpose of life anyway is to work on our me both to work on our character right there don't gun it says the whole purpose of life is T conan-kun an adult so if working on your character is your purpose you can also be an influencer to somebody if you're a mush beer you feel you can influence other people make the world a better place give the guy a chance up on the other hand as we said if you really believe that the gets gonna take time so you make your house thief-proof childproof right look we know many of people that go out and they look for foster children who come from very broken up and there are people that go out of their way to find even animals dogs and pets certain pets who come from broken homes so to speak or abused homes to to rectify the situation so that would be the same situation here so knowing that the real question here is why is all these laws of mich baatein beginning with this particular law and now the clear carcas are some fantastic insight so read along with me it says keep techni every when you purchase a and I'm not gonna transfer right now as a Jewish bondsman we're gonna call a Hebrew bondsman or Hebrew servant slave so as I mentioned that it's going to use the word Ivry specifically as we will see other verses there's the word those word you strap could have been used but here in our verse it does not use the word akiha which is your brother nor does it use the word Israel it uses the word Ivry which we will discuss Tom lahat a lot collodion BC Lua avid have Sheila shay-shay the reason it's interesting the word Tom is taste like it it resonates it yeah you can digest something called a reason so the reason that the Torah this this parsha in the term begins all these civil laws are beginning with sending out the slave in the 6th year keep that in mind if you happen to have a slave make sure to send them out in the 6th year Leticia Hadi brought mytilene because our own I use the word 10 commandments but you know I mean our 10 statements begin with what an okay hashem elokenu I'm the Lord your God this is you can find in back in chapter 20 verse 2 in Exodus I share Hodes a Sikh American tribe who took you out of the land of Egypt me base Aladeen from the house of slavery from the house of bondage so what is it saying here this is the clea cars message ready a mark on this is what it's saying a shame shall I eat to Evan you the Jewish people you were slaves volusia meet allaha and redemption freedom was granted to you Perdita me base of a team you were redeemed from the house of bondage the house of slavery so to tickled war václav XI Li of the ha so - you shall declare you shall call out freedom and liberty - your servant hanim car la ha big nave vato who was sold to you because of his thievery this is a very important thing you have to get into your hole kishkes you now have this slave and we're talking about the Jewish people how many of them had slaves Jewish slaves if they went ahead Ryan mentioned like who in the right mind would even do such a thing you have to be really like a what's the word I'm looking for much more than that really altruistic right such a giving person is willing to put a stereo it's probably an uncomfortable position in your own home right hopefully you you obviously have a comfortable situation to bring someone else in but still it's an infringement on your privacy right no matter how you look at it right so it's so important because you were slaves you experienced this so you have empathy right there's gonna be certain amount of empathy that you have and you're going to release your slave who is but it's very important though he was sold to you because of thievery don't think yourself scot-free of slavery thievery - I said slavery thievery are we free from thievery in our own history what's our biggest sin you know the Jewish people that we're carrying around with us to this the selves Yosef listen to this Kagame tell you to every one of you are guilty NIMH carton big big naylet Yosef we know in the Ten Commandments there is a mitzvah not to thief not to be a thief not alive still do you know that that means kidnapped you know why it means kidnap because because I'll tell us that's what was told to us mean you're allowed to steal no because it's somewhere else in the tower in Leviticus it says you're not allowed to steal so when it says you know let us steal somewhere else that's talking about the type of stealing that we're all familiar with of taking something doesn't belong to you in the Ten Commandments when it says don't steal it means don't take a human being and to ransom him off and to selmak slavery we as a collective Jewish people to this very they are still holding on to this great mark of of sin and also you who you sold yo said you you sold him by stealing him or let's say kidnapping him Shema crew who hashiba team that the shutting the will come ten of them anyway of the brothers the sons of Yaakov the knit gal gal had devar that as the events unfolded right weird what happened she are do are you they are you dog limits Ryan because of that sale of Yosef we ended up in Egypt we ended up in Egypt the base of a team to what the house of slavery to the house of bondage poppy Cain gets autumn Lahav she nevertheless where we now we're free right nevertheless God set us towards freedom he redeemed us he brought us out so God so came gamma Tim so to because we experienced that freedom we should do this to our own slaves to make sure that they experience what we experienced as a people 3300 years ago gamma tenly Robbo's about them - Shalu huff she we should increase or include our servants into this freedom by sending them out to freedom also okay so something I know that was bothering Yaakov we had discussed this and I'm gonna just break it down into two things first of all the generation that left Egypt is not the sending same generation that went into Israel so what about what we call collective memory and I think that there it's incredible that so many of our midst as so many of our commandments are do this because you were slaves in Egypt you should remember you were slaves in Egypt it's like one entity think about this as a second am I the same person that I was seven years ago and almost every single cell in my body has been replaced but let's say I took out a loan seven years ago for seven year long and I come and the guy wants his money back and I turned to him and say I didn't take that loan that was said that wasn't me I could prove to you that not a single cell in my body is the same so nobody's going to go for that right so the Jewish people are one organism we're one entity so we have in our collective memory that we left Egypt are great you know I remember sitting on my grandfather's pass on a Passover Seder telling me that we left Egypt and then my father and he remembers his grandfather and my grandfather remembers his grandfather and this is all the way back but somehow in our DNA but I think a bigger kasha a bigger question is this how no gaya how applicable is this Mitzvah now they're not even gonna go into Israel for another 40 years who's gonna be their slave this law of slavery only exists when there's the Jubilee year and there's no Jubilee year as long as in the desert it didn't begin until they entered the land so obviously it's not it's almost impractical I didn't mentioned who in the world's gonna do it anyway and you have a Sanhedrin people are probably not gonna be stealing that much you have death penalty for this and that and people pretty righteous okay but you're talking about family would anyway come to your rescue in most cases right in most cases so how so there's obviously a great important lesson here much more than much deeper than we're we're not even scratching the surface yet but we did begin to see there's something about sending them out in six years we ourselves were slaves and we must act like I'm we're supposed to even take on yeah I'll have another surprise for you I heard some of these you know we're supposed to imitate God you know we learn about his character traits it's so important you know the torah begins with decid right if you want to call casted that God brought at Adam his wife all right that's a tested but for sure they were naked and he brought them clothes that's it one asset clothing the naked or clothing the needy and what about the end Moses needed a burial God himself buried married Moshe so burying the dead is a great not only as a great myth since we called mitzvah shell casin it's has a chelanath it's where you don't even get payback right well who the guy's gonna look up at you and say thank you very much it's over you're nobody's gonna say thank you and so basically there's like bookends everything in between is about God's grace and love for us and so we're supposed to imitate him we have to do the same thing to others that's why this mishpokhe team is all about mitzvahs between man and man this is going to be on the under the surface of it all the fundamental lesson that we need to get across clear as mud it's amazing before we go on I just want to point out there are three verses I mentioned that the word every is mentioned here so ev'ry is Hebrew servant okay if your Hebrew slave if you just go to Deuteronomy chapter 2 a chapter 15 verse 12 it's talking about the same type of slave someone who stole didn't have the money the court sold him so it says your brother it's actually says akiha the ebony Vree so the the Hebrew man so now just notice over here to only says Avery over there it is Atika every and then there's another type of person there's there's several I don't want to go into all the details of the different types of people that could be sold or sell themselves into slavery but there's another important type and that is that someone is impoverished greatly impoverished he has no food and perhaps he's just incapable of running his own business and he really needs to work for somebody okay there are people like that so if you go to Leviticus chapter 25 verse 39 it says if your brother becomes impoverished besides you and insult you it's only up teeka there's even the word evidence not used ok so just keep this in microbrew I'm gonna just get the global picture when we're talking about the slave who stole the word every is used when he is he's also your brother though which we'll discuss that's in another verse and the other type is a person who's just impoverished he's not pulled even in edit okay he's just called your brother okay with that in mind we're gonna go to the next paragraph which begins like this well mash an emmalution debrie from the very fact that our verse in chapter 21 verse 2 uses the word every now I want to tell you I always thought every is only positive connotations but as you know the Abunda has a Pesach Seder last year we had 130 people this is something we can mention there in fact we do because it's in the Haggadah and we're gonna say it like this our verses ev'ry Valona Marketo israel our verse does not use the word your brother or the word israel now in partial a which you can find in we just mentioned it in deuteronomy chapter 15 verse 12 it says key Makela haqiqa every Oh every are when shall be sold right it's through the bait then through the court your brother interesting your brother the Hebrew or the Hebrew woman latisha calls there Avram how you may a ver and are why are we called Hebrews and this is why I always thought it was only a positive connotation and that's because Abraham lived in darkness he lived amongst idol-worshipping pagans okay he lived in a lot in a an atmosphere of Shecky of falsehoods and illusions and God told him to come to this land which is a land where you breathe in wisdom and everything is clear it's a land of truth so that's what it means aver he agreed he was the e-ring he crossed over that's what it means to cross over from one let's say world view to another and I always thought that as positive however we're all familiar with the word of the rah right I mean we in slang we say you're over and Nevada right you're transgressing a transgression right that's you trespassing on God's Word so obviously that route that word is also used in a negative connotation and now we're going to discover something at least it was new for me it says like this that that's true that Abraham's seed that's who we are were Hebrews but you know what we say at the Pesach Seder what we it says we begin by talking about the negative and we only talked about the whole history and how we eventually you know we're enlightened and saw the light and had a relationship with God but it all started with idol worship right so we say these words are used a avodah Zarah how you elbows say no can you imagine this is how we in the beginning of moggy in the beginning of talking about our forefathers were idol worshipers right that's what we're saying and that's what they were meaning Avraham was father right we all know he was a salesman for idols and Avram let's just say until he was either three or 52 or 75 there was a process right he grew out of this darkness and came to the light but it was a prod like it's called growing up maturing okay he didn't see God the minute he came out of his mother's womb he didn't have that intimate relationship it was a journey akasha Nick masu bits l can't fish Pina it was only after either we're going to talk about eyebrown but we're talking about the Jewish people in general only after we entered into the refuge of the Divine Presence the wings of the Divine Presence that's when the name Israel Israel is attributed to the Jewish people there's a citation in carb Galina toe NIC rubbish shame every but in our verse this particular guy who stole and just happened to have not enough money or nobody came to his rescue he is called the Ivry he's called only ev'ry as we mentioned why kia has dark hair vote Tasha LeBron because the ways of abraham's predecessors that's a word though not the descendants but the ascendance ancestors correct Abraham's ancestors does he finally following the way of our arms ancestors and it's not right to be a a thief the luncheon every and now this is like it's really hard to swallow because I always thought every only in a positive connotation but there is a slight negative connotation as he says the language of every is noise of Gham Cain I'll are you there a Vera it's same Ruth someone who transgresses afar pichia Hut of the avoir of there however this is the goodness if I just depressed everyone even though he is a transgressor in that verse as I mentioned where was it in Deuteronomy he's called Africa he never loses the name Israel he is a degree yet he's a he's your brother it doesn't matter how far down that rabbit hole you go that spark of Abraham is in you correct and that's a beautiful thing the koma koma who has it mentioned actually in the Gomorrah as well as the verse Lacock myanmar that's why it says he huh every in that verse the multi rats mo but the one who sold himself I mentioned is also someone who's just so impoverished and that we saw in leviticus twenty five we mentioned so what's gonna happen to him he is called he didn't send shallow hot they didn't see at all that's why it doesn't use the word every now of course he's a jewel he's not any less Jewish than the guy that stole but the word every is not used in context to that it says invite with 25 that's Leviticus 25 39 key wool sock tika when your brother becomes so impoverished the lone mr he every the word every is not mentioned we were just discussing this idea Jewish what is Jewish mean right I'm gonna tell you something it's the word Jew right comes from Yehuda now our detractors the people that are against us they say oh you're just from yahuda and the rest of Israel is I don't know the modern Christian Church or something like that right you have some crazy ideas about who Israel is okay what I want to tell you is this couple very important points Leia named her fourth child Yehuda because she was in an absolute state of gratitude unbelievable this is the way you should be she knew that there were gonna be 12 children and there were four mothers so she only assumed wrongly that it must because she had such a good heart that they were going to be evenly divided right anybody can do math 12 divided by 4 is 3 so she had the first six children but doesn't matter after her third children she had a son she did another son she says this is unbelievable I got more than I deserved can you imagine walking this planet every day every moment saying I guess I got more than I deserve that's what a Jew is that's where the you who D yes that's the very Sean that's the first thing the other thing is you would asked well you got Christians you got you are we saying we're like yes do you actually know what the word the monarchy of Yehuda represents mushiya right in the Christian religion they clump those Christians because they believe in mashiac we believe in mushiya what am I gonna get through the world people think oh we don't believe we're waiting for him every moment that's the only difference they think they came and they have such a low bar it's like I have to say my wife would kill me if she heard me talk about politics it's like the Democratic Party it's such a low bar that's you know mashach we're talking about world Redemption and knowledge of God feeling the earth like the water fills the Seas the seabed we're talking about peace we're talking about unbelievable stuff you can't even describe right come on that happened none of that happened right now they're not if it was fulfilled but anyway back to the word yoo-hoo duh it's basically saying I believe in the monarchy of you Huda having to do with right I'm basically doesn't matter what tribe I'm from I could be from a sure I could be fluffed ollie but I'm a Yahoo D because I believe in the monarchy right doesn't matter what tribe I'm from but I believe in the descendants of the kings of yehuda and therefore I like pledge allegiance to the you who the monarchy meaning I'm awaiting the Messiah so it sounds crazy but that is the truth okay you like that okay so yeah show me we're on the second to last paragraph shall Sherlock and Emma it says Evan ev'ry again a Hebrew servant lomar what it's telling you this is very important guys it's telling you Shakur waar who Evan Conan shook Anita Auto he already was a servant before you purchased him this is Isaiah 53 it's not just Isaiah 53 you're talking about those whole chapter after chapter the Jewish people are called the servant of God my servant my servant over again at Israel Thiago okay so our and we're gonna prove it right now God says before we even left Egypt you are my servants where we servants of each Egyptian family that we worked for right no you know we were we were royal slaves we belonged to pharaoh how did that come about you know how it came about that we were actually rural slaves because when Joseph was the Viceroy and he was able to what say save the the the produce for those hard times when the hard times did come the app every day so they went to they went to the Joseph Jewish mine and he says okay what are you gonna give me food the food so they had whatever they had cattle this that and the other thing fine what happened the next year they had nothing so some sell yourself they became Pharaoh slaves so they were slaves of slaves which really means they were Pharaoh slaves because everyone all the Egyptians were belonging to pharaoh all the egyptians won't to pharaoh they sold themselves a slaves and therefore when we worked for these individual families we were slaves of pharaoh we were royal space and this is a very big transition because god wanted this is all this is was the whole setup we had to experience what it was like to be royal slave so that we could be royal slaves yeah Larry no say it would be funny very nice very nice there in a square okay so this is very important if you go and look you start our show Kadesh Barnea who code them that we already had a contract be with God before we left Egypt look in Laie grow happens to me invite in Leviticus 25 verse 39 I know it's already there but doesn't matter Kiev odd I hang stay your guys are my slaves now what's the problem with that if we're God's slaves before we this person comes a slave of the Jew the problem is when he goes and says six years ah I want to stay longer right I want to stay longer I want to be a slave forever what's the problem with that he's making a decision I no longer want to be God's slave I want to be a slave of a human being that's not a good thing and then this is on the good side because whenever it says 'yeah i mean we're starting a new idea it doesn't discount everything we said it's just a whole nother level here the word every is used in a positive way because it's only says evitt it doesn't use the word every murphy Shoshanna Eve lotto no his Cuba shame every what happens is he says in the Hebrew and more llamar there's a double language of speaking he's saying I want to be a slave forever I don't want to leave you and the family that I created here with you okay there's another idea I don't really want to get into it but it's an interesting subject nevertheless a single man who goes in to become a slave in this situation with all the weeks old the the owner remember we talked about earlier high-mass know who would be interested in such a thing so it's basically he's gonna pay more money than he would for a Gentile slave and he's gonna get less work because he's a Jewish slave just availeth okay but he's going to get okay as a recompense he can get little baby slaves because he can match up this Jewish slave the Jewish slave with another woman and an a Jewish a non-jewish slave of his household and he could be like a breeder that that's a word used to create more babies now this is an interesting thing because what if he came in married only if they came in married if he was single that wouldn't work so I'm gonna make that clear what I said earlier if he was single that would not work he's not allowed to be with this non-jewish slave and why is that so if he's with this non-jews remember he's a young guy probably never married assuming so he would fall in love and then he would really not want to leave he would really be much more attached right but if he's already married ah first of all in the biblical times a man could have had more than one life but listen his wife's probably pissed his act at him anyway for the situation he's in now so it's not really a very you know a very nice situation okay so what about the owner remember he's also gonna it's a win-win for him right because he invested in this guy remember we talked about this being rehabilitation so he invests a lot in this guy and so they're part of the payback is we'll have a next generation of slaves but they're not Jewish these children are not Jewish because the woman is not Jewish Judaism is another proof Judaism okay the tribe you're belonged to always goes by the father but if you're actually Jewish it goes by the mother so when this guy leaves he's basically saying either I want to stay because of my supposed new wife and children I want to stay with them or you know he's ready to start you know and leave with his wife and children but he's leaving them he cannot take his children with him the ones that were born are Jewish they're slaves interesting idea opens a big can of worms right okay so you just asked a clarifying question and that is when we speak about the married man his wife and children that he came in with are they're the ones that he had married and had children with are with him so that person buying them for the six years is actually getting a good deal I'm he's taking of the whole family now there's only one of them is slaves but listen he's he he can guess he can get something out of them you know they can help around the house right he's taking on well he's gonna take can I feed them he's gonna clothe them he's responsible for them remember its rehabilitation that person for the man - sigh children that know it is and see them grow and and then leave them and then leave them when he leaves and I'm sure it is very close then use it for long yes so there can be right good again should we get a good strong do we laughter well he's like is this stocky you know breathing that's what they do thoroughbreds right you bring out the best so what you said leading it's like that you can easily breathe great power means strong fast excellent I don't think my idea okay okay we're now on the last paragraph now why is it this is like gonna bring everything to a conclusion right we asked in the very beginning why is it for six years he's only gonna serve you for six years and then he must go free why so we have three HR means we have three opinions now just keep in mind they are all legitimate opinions and we have to see the insight to each one the first opinion is just omne saw here shallow shunning it's just a regular hired worker remember every every country and every century might do things differently but if you go and look and see in the last page I believe this would be in Isaiah 16 verse 14 it says over there and now the Lord has spoken saying in three years like the years of a hireling fish lo seaneen cash nay stuck here that's what that you normally make a contract for somebody it would be a three-year contract that's just the way things were then and in Isaiah it shows that so now what remember we said that if you were a thief and you lied you tried to get out of it is a canasa there's a fine of angle so if a regular hireling is three years so since this guy was involved in such a crime he certainly deserves to work six years this is the first opinion the hoot all of Mishnah soccer soccer by working on Shelke FL as I just explained here's my second opinion that that's not the case in other words one year and we have a verse to prove that and where's that look in Isaiah 21 16 for so his Lord said to me in another year like the days of a hireling so how long when you hire somebody the contract is for one year so if we have one year how do we get six years so wait to hear this Shana devar King shall reign Mr bamako mafia as we just mentioned this other verse in Isaiah 21 16 Piru Shoshanna Mitch Mitch zoom tenant it's an exact year and Rashi and the rod Ark explained this verse which we just read but about three years why is it why did we just read this previous verse in Isaiah 16 14 it basically said right what's going on over there so the reason it says over there according to this opinion three years as a hireling this did was he violated three fever is he he created fever on three levels can nega-chin a vote chigan ah he stole three things what did he steal he stole maman Bala stole the money from whoever was the owner of the money and gospel of he also tricked the owner it's called when you trick somebody it's called stealing their mind it's Geneva's hadass okay which is very interesting because sometimes white lies you think oh what damage that I caused so there could be damage so not only that he's told and the das ileana and he it's like he stole from God so don't think that you when you violate mitts vote between man and man you're only affecting man you're also affecting a sham so there are three things that are affected can- ouch lotion name so parallel to that he had to work three years before can I show cap down because of this double so not as the three years but now it's six years and the last opinion is what the clear card says is the most probable and understandable explanation he says that do not call Ashley out significant rule Aminu Carla's a ahead o Shah Alam that this is just an example of all the sevens you'll find throughout all of tonight where it's chosen for manuka for a rest or tranquility as what as a remembrance that there is a God who created the world something from nothing right we all live with that existence every single day of our lives I know Shabbos is only the seventh day it's only day seven but guess what as a Jew every single damn required to remember Shabbos if it's not shopping for Shabbos it's praying right every day we say what day are we in relation to Shabbos Shabbos is the scent is the highlight of our week my wife said to me I didn't lie first became religious she says it was fascinating that I used to you know run into these Jews and on Sunday they were making list of who they were writing for Shabbos on Sunday what's going to be the menu what look who we gonna invite already on Sunday and that was she said this is the real stuff this is the real deal yeah and she was amazed okay so Comeau Shabbos Shabbos is an example shemitah right we work six years on the ground and on the seventh year everything's fallow and guess what we do during the sabbatical year well the farmers sit and learn that's what they do because they work for six years now it's time for Manuka now it's time for the real rest and what about yoga yoga seven cycles of sale right seven years the 49th or 50th year so this is also a year of no work it's like a double shemitah okay and every one of these as always to remind us that there's a God that created the world in six days and ceased on the set there's a creator of the world he call should be eaten if Haarlem a new car every number seven is always and I have a friend who converted she used to be a bed knock and she said the difference is when she made that choice between being event off she says it's Noah I don't be knock I want to be active wasn't Noah's Noah could just be I want a more active role and she chose to convert okay so that made it's interesting the name Noah means to arrest so she wanted a more active role in the Tekoa of the world and she made a decision to convert okay so that's just a side point so this all leads into the idea of a knock I keep seven laws there's Manuka that's was the tie in there there's Manuka however someone asked also well isn't the average lifespan of a man 70 years so 70 is yen that's right but jubilee is seven cycles of seven years which is the fiftieth year because really it's about man or generations like 50 years the the 20 years of the 70 years don't count the first 20 years you know why because there's no heavenly judgment for the first 20 years don't tell this to bar mitzvah kids right in this world that we live in there are witnesses to a thievery to any kind of crime then the court has every jurisdiction but God loves us so much he has such mercy that that seven year period between 13 and 20 he knows okay for women it's an extra year but he knows that we're in the process of development the the brains are developing our desires in this world we're trying to figure out who we are God has such patience and mercy that he only on the highest level he will overlook whatever that means he will overlook our sin of course in this world you can't really get a good way with anything but with God's mercy he'll let you slide in in heaven so keep that in mind so basically comes out that even though man's average life is 70 it's counted back to the fifty year of Jubilee to get this main point across you really only have 50 years of life of really living like the first 20 is all about finding yourself so anyway what I just want to wish everyone I should watch alone right we discuss sevens at the end and welcome
