Transcendental Transformation through Accepting to Accept the Torah with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

anybody [Music] Shalom alaikum everybody Welcome Home to Torah a warm welcome home to Torah we are not in the evening madrash due to the inclement weather uh Hashem it's been raining hard and looks like we have a whole week ahead of us uh besides the last few days the upcoming week of course it's too big spot on Sunday and we're going to get into the seven me name the seven special species of there's Australia we're gonna have a really good time we have Heim David by the way there's a few spots left over left open so if you want to come all the way down to this route or if you're here you want to come to your lime or from in yerushalayim pop in of course you know send me an email first you're coming but please just pop in we're impartialach this is chapter 13 verses 17 and 18 in shmos the first thing oh by the way so we use the clear car as the basis for our discussion you'll find the original Hebrew sheets you'll find a link below in the description box I implore you please learn Hebrew follow along with us all you have to do is click the link and then find another link to find the exact year but the pages are there on the website and uh if you're interested in joining or let's say at least getting the English Source sheets that I send out to the people that are participating if you want them send me an email because they are quite useful um in addition to that um what I want to say I forget in addition to what doesn't matter listen we're going to try to follow the Hebrew um that's what I want you to do and without any further Ado it's it's jam-packed of course always with fundamentals of Judaism and I'll tell you a little bit I like spoon feed you a little bit of what the clear car is bothered by I wouldn't even say bothered he points it out he points out in these two verses the word is used three times obviously seemingly allegedly describing the Jewish people and then the fourth time this pronoun is used called Bene Israel meaning the Jewish people themselves and regarding them they went up armed which is really the whole discussion here what does it mean that they went up armed and why is it the Jewish people isn't didn't Pharaoh send us out why are we called the am when he sends us out and only when it refers to us going up armed as if it's almost like another sentence another subject let's see first we'll see in English it came to pass when Pharaoh let the people go that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines for it was near but God because God said lest the people reconsider when they see war and return to Egypt so God led the people that's the third time that peoples used around by the way of the desert to the Red Sea or the sea breeds and this is where we begin this new description of the Jewish people and the children of Israel were armed when they went up out of Egypt you have to hear the Hebrew foreign God didn't lead them by the way of let's say it was the shorter route but they would come to civilization quicker kikarov who it actually is closer it would have been closer but God saw differently lest the people and um change their minds or reconsider when they see War the shavu mitsarama and then return or want to return to Egypt and then what happens the yaseven God then turns a circuitous root for the people not the short way but a little bit longer and in perhaps even in a different direction altogether and then there's like this last piece rhyme and it says they went up armed who went up the arm who went up armed the binay Israel the Jewish people may Aerosmith Shrine out of Egypt I just want to show you what the clear what Rashi says um when it says he didn't lead them so Rashi actually says hey he didn't lead the people okay when you walk it shall lead he gives another verse there are these two verses Exodus 32 34 and in Proverbs 6 22 foreign so basically that's the root of leading for it was near and it was easy to return by the road back to Egypt and Rashi says when they see War was even when they see War so if they had gone a direct route they would have returned now if when he led them around and secured this route and of course what did they say let us appoint the leader to return to Egypt how much more would they have planned to do this if he led them on a direct route and when it says Let It lest they consider or reconsider the word surashi says they would have second thoughts about the fact that they left Egypt and they will reconsider they will think about returning and therefore he led them around in a circuitous route now what is most interesting here is the word she says can only mean armed mizuyanim which is really the rudism Zion okay like cleizzion which is going to play a major part of our discussion what does it mean that they went armed at the very end Rashi explains the word hamushim means they were divided by five meaning that only one-fifth one out of every five Israelites went out while four-fifths died during the three days of darkness and you can see Rashi on Exodus chapter 10 verse 22 and why that was that the four-fifths of the Jews died in Egypt they didn't want to leave they were right it's easier to take a Jew out of Egypt than the Egypt out of the Jew they didn't want to leave and therefore actually we're going to call that evil they were satisfied being in Egypt anyway now let's go to the clear car and see how he points out right away so we saw the verse and right after that it says less right less the um the people reconsider and change their minds so the second time is used the third time the yasevelo came god um Turned the people around third time is used and then the fourth time we're describing these people who left it says went up armed so the clear car right away says yes we should examine it we should contemplate it we should dig deeply and try to understand why are they called three times the word ham which means the people and not only the Cabernet Israel but it's related to etzo meaning in close proximity to next to the word hamushim that they went up armed this causes a great theological problem number one who did Pharaoh send out didn't he send out the Jews why weren't benesha mentioned in the beginning and if binay Israel went up armed that like aren't we supposed to believe and trust in God how is it that we went up armed because again the Rashi mentions CLE Zion that's what hamushim right everyone knows what give out ammunition Hill right you go into a store you go into a hospital right where they have a metal detector and they ask you or if you are hamush have you ever heard that being asked of you are you armed you have a weapon that's what CLE Zion means now the clear Clark continues fianira it seems like the very fact that they're the Jewish people why would they need weapons at all this is a praise not only that Israel wasn't Pharaoh trying to get rid of the Jewish people then the opposite should have been said meaning the very first time that that Pharaoh sent them out it should have said the word Venezuela that he sent out the Jewish people so the clear car says that nearly yahshah panim that there is a way to resolve this in two distinct ways two views so we're going to begin with the first which is the longest part of the discussion the first thing he does is he's quoting the yokut he's quoting a midrash and I think I have this on the on the source sheet it's actually number four so it's in Yucca shimoni 227 the Hebrew says regarding the khamoshiyanim similar to exactly what Rashi is quoting and then there's there's a certain verse but he teaches us that they actually had five types of weapons what does that mean we don't know yet what does it mean they had five types of weapons as we will see it could be that each one each individual Jew out of six hundred thousand of the men between 20 and 60 that means the age of uh of Army service each one had five weapons which the clear car is going to find absolutely fascinating so let's begin with that second paragraph he's not quoting the um the Yoko shimoni right it says they went up armed again what did the measure tell us it can only mean that they went up armed with five types of weapons a great question he asked is it really true that the Jewish people when they go to war it depends their success is going to depend on the amount of weapons that they have it can't be we have a verse in shoaf team you'll see this number three show that's Judges chapter 5 verse 8. this is a rhetorical question when they chose New Gods then there was war in the cities was there even was there seen a shield or a spear when the Forty thousand went up against Israel meaning no you had 40 000 generals and heathens come against Israel and we did not even have any weapons of war it would be a Boucher it would be a shame to rely or depend our Victory on the weapons of war Ki Hashem is Hashem who protected us so this is going to be what he's about to tell you is going to be like very key here the weapons of war ready for this both what we call Torah and prayer they are the clay zainam shaly Israel they are the actual weapons that we the Jewish people have and he's basing it I mean he's not really basing it but he's giving you a proof in Psalms chapter three sorry it's Psalms 149 verse 6. uh 149 verse 6 says like this I'll say in English first lofty Praises of God is in their throats Roma moose El begronam right these Praises are in their throats Praises for the Lord foreign right and the double-edged sword is in their hands I'll read the rest lassos nakama bagoim in order to take Vengeance against the tohos um and contentions against upon the kingdoms now Raj she says right there regarding these lofty Praises that are in their throats they will be for them a double-edged sword it's actually what's in their throats which leads us to actually the word double-edged sword a double-edged sword in Hebrew pithios it's actually a play on words like in other words it's like two mouths two mouths but by using two mouths that is our weapon called a double-edged sword um that's the Clear Car explains based on this verse what does it mean a sword that had two mouths in their hands schnappios in other words instead of using it translating as double edged as Pepe two mouths napiert Kish both Torah and prayer are dependent on your lips your throat your mouth now if that's the case he came what to Ferris what kind of beauty are we attributing to Jewish people what kind of you know Crown so to speak what kind of positive attributes are we referring to the Jewish people by saying that they went up armed that's abusha like I said because it's saying as if they were they were not trusting in the Lord God God forbid right if they're trusting in their weapons now even if you want to say which this is absolutely true what I'm about to tell you that a person is actually obligated to do everything they can possibly do in this natural world according to Nature according to their own abilities to do and then whatever's lacking Hashem will make up the rest whatever would be lacking from a natural point of view Hanes then God would fulfill and complete through a miracle we don't rely on Miracles outright God gave us a brain he gave us the power he gave us big things that we can figure things out we're obligated to use all of our abilities to do so and only when we exhaust our efforts then the Miracles will begin to happen don't rely on Miracles outright nevertheless this still leaves us with our perhaps our original question what was the verse in the Torah telling us that every single one of these six hundred thousand Jews carried with them five distinct weapons of war um the number the concept naming five specific weapons what do I need that for why should the Torah come out and tell me that they each had five weapons very good question and not only that he's not finished furthermore vote was this just happens to be a miracle was it just a miracle that every single one of these people carried five weapons Obama or was it random just a coincidence the measures telling us every single one of these six hundred thousand Jews had five weapons how can that be one didn't have four the other one didn't have six we're talking about each one had five that's what it says and the clear card ends this sentence by saying hello this is unusual this thing never happens and not only that they weren't even trained they had not learned how to use any of these weapons okay according to what it seems they weren't knowledgeable in strategy of work they were slaves all they knew was how to make bricks right perhaps other things that slaves know how to do they were busy they were involved with hard labor their entire days when did they ever have time to train who clay zionel lamalam so what would they even need weapons of warfare they weren't experienced with them you know what would have been better for them to do walk with sticks and slingshots what else could slaves know how to use these weapons of war alkane near lafarish therefore certainly seems that we can explain it the following way this is actually coming to inform Usain they didn't actually have in their hands any weapons of war well doesn't the Torah say they went up armed Torah they came up with the five books of the Torah which obviously how can that be we didn't receive even the beginning until 50 days after we left in other words we accepted the Torah on shavuas the 50th day after we left accepted it we didn't really receive anything written who knows when and for certain till the end of Deuteronomy we did not have five whole books so what can it possibly mean that they actually received they actually went up in their hands with these five books that we're going to call the Torah well I have news for you this idea if you notice in Numbers Chapter 10 verses 35 and 36 there are these inverted upside down nuns and what we learned from that believe it or not is that by mid bar numbers is actually one particular book that's divided into three books three distinct books whatever came in by midbar from the beginning up until chapter 10 35 is considered one book those two verses those two verses is a single book and then everything after verse 36 onward to the end of numbers is another book so you have altogether seven books interestingly those two verses really deal with war in a great sense look at the verse number 10. in the source sheet numbers 10 verse 35-36 so it was whenever the ark set out Moses would say arise O Lord may your enemies be scattered and may those who hate you flee from you meaning the Torah was inside this we called the Ark of the Covenant The Ten Commandments and of course later on the actual Torah Scrolls themselves were placed into this um this Arc and that's what we used when we went out to war after we came into the land of Israel and when it came to rest he would say Repose oh Lord among the myriads of thousands of Israel I'll say the Hebrew of the HEB and saw our own The Omen Moshe Kuma adenoi the afuso is that's the first part of the verse we're all familiar with that um Rashi says right there so it was whenever the ark set out he mentions God he made marks for it this passage before and after it as if to indicate that it's not its proper place in scripture so why is it written here in order to make a break between one punishment and the next meaning whatever came before and what it came after and it says that this is considered a book on its own um now why seven right we have five books of the Torah but referring to number seven that there are seven books so I have two interesting verses to look at by the way it actually says Gamora Shabbos 116a that this is considered a book into itself and it brings down two verses and brings down the verse in Proverbs chapter 9 verse 1 where it says wisdom it's talking about the Torah the whole chapter is talking about the wisdom of the Torah wisdom has built her house she has hewn Her Seven Pillars Shiva however just to another verse interestingly enough it says in one second it says in Psalms 119 164 it says over there Shiva Beyond Hillel actually this is the verse the clear card brings down um seven times a day I Praise You for Your Righteous judgments Rashi says there in the morning twice before the reading of the Shema and once after it so we have three brachot in the Shema in the morning and in the evening twice before and twice after there are fourth in the evening Shema so those obviously three and four that's seven times we make over the Shema and when it says Upon Your Righteous judgments that's referring to the actual reading of the Shema itself which consists of the words of Torah okay so back into the cleat car the last thing I believe he said was actually I kind of skipped something but let's go back where it says um okay we only read two lines of this paragraph um the only thing the Jews had as their weapons of war were the five books farm that actually divide into seven books Le mandarship according to the opinion of the gemara that says this is a book all on its own those two verses in Numbers chapter 10 35 and 36. and that's brought down in Shabbos 116a now we understand now when it says we understood that as mizuyanim the root of Zion they went up armed clay Zion hakol Ram is the Torah this is all hinting to the Torah itself meaning the five and the Seven the very fact we're going to call the Torah are armaments but it's using the word five is the root hamesh the best way I can translate this is one language one expression falls on top of the other expression which means it's a play on words it's a play on words that the word means means armed hamisha meaning the language of five and the word Zion even the language of seven these are the language the expressions of weapons of war the etzel Israel and it's only by the Jewish people meaning Israel malatora right we asked why does it say it was Israel that went up our you can say the word it is the five books of the Torah karmore as we said mizuyanim are weapons of war but what are the weapons of war according to the other opinion is the Fila is the prayer like we mentioned and that's the verse I quoted in Psalms 119 verse 164 Sheva Beyond those are the seven Praises that we say every day in the kriya now the Clear Car ends this page we have two and a half more pages to go behold this is well known everyone should know this should already know this shallow hayu Israel Royale Torah the Jewish people were not ready yet to receive the Torah I mean we were Idol worshipers we came out of Egypt on below right below zero we were at the 49th level of of impurity we were down there and it took us 50 days the 49 day that's why I gave I gave a whole Shear of noch Weinberg his yard site was actually today and he helped develop the famous program called the 40 ways to wisdom based on the mishnah the 48 ways to acquire Torah um so during these days that we left Egypt we're going through a growth process not just to come back to zero but to come out on the other end plus 50 right if you leave Egypt and you're minus 49 it takes you 49 50 days to re to get there you would think okay you're climbing a ladder to zero no we actually made such a tikkun that we were on the 49th level when plus when we received the Torah but there was a trans transition there was something that transformed us on the way and that was the yamsuf and the entering the desert which we're about to hear about so Israel was not yet fit we weren't ready to receive the Torah 's we weren't really ready to receive the Torah until we crossed through the splitting of the sea and we walked on dry land into the desert this desert was where there was nothing growing foreign commotion Mr and it was only through at this point a week after we left Israel after we left Egypt that we came to what we're going to call amuna schlam a complete faith in God and in the prophecy of Moshe we believe in the prophecy of Moshe and what did it say in Exodus chapter 14 verse 31. it says Israel saw the great hand which the Lord had used upon the Egyptians and the people feared the Lord and they believed in the Lord and in Moses his servants they are yes listen we came to believe in God prior to that doesn't mean we didn't believe but it wasn't a complete belief it was unbelievable the Miracles that took place why did God take the arm which was let's say pre-israel overthrew the experience at the splitting of the sea we could have taken the shortest route he took us back around the circuitous route in order to embed implant and calculate this certain level of complete faith in him and the belief in Moses's Prophecy at this point and it was only at this point and then when we crossed over into onto the dry land and we sang a great song okay so um let's continue where we left off basically it was this bringing us back through the yamsuf through the splitting of the sea and through the desert where we came to believe in God and completely and in the prophecy of Moses now prior to us coming to this level of faith that we were not yet fit so prior to this we weren't fit cause at the right the whole time that we had any doubts any spekot any doubts or questions regarding the prophecy of Moshe and the complete belief in God wasn't we weren't ready to receive the Torah the akashu and it was only after that we came to the yamsuf that we we came to this high level of amuna and faith in God may as from that point on how you ruin the Kabbalah to Torah it was only from that point onward we were fit to receive the Torah but you tricking oh lay lake permit Barbara Eric's lozzarua and it was imperative that we actually walked through the desert in which nothing was sown I want to take you to a pasig I believe it's in Jeremiah chapter 2 verse 2. right go and call out in the ears of you shall I am saying so said the Lord I remember to you the love and kindness of your youth the love of your nuptials you're following me in the desert in a land not sown foreign this took a great amount of faith and what did we say when we were about to go through the desert we didn't say what are we going to eat okay we we followed right God right into the desert so to speak so let's see where the Clear Car we're now on page two are you three oh they like the mid bar Lozier obviously what was necessary after going through the amsouf we needed to walk on in this desert area Shema shama meet us we needed there to acquire a very important Meda which is by the way one of the 48 ways to acquire wisdom is his top coos means sufficiency self-sufficiency or or minimum amount contentment with little fragile satisfaction with little as we know in perkia vote it says the way of Torah you'll find this if I'm not mistaken and number 13 on the source sheet it's in perkiavo chapter 6 verse 4. this is actually right before the 48 ways to wisdom which you'll find in mishnah chapter 6 verse 6 in the Percival such is the way of torahim I'm sorry bread in salt you will eat and in a water in small measure you will drink and on the ground you will sleep and you will live a life of deprivation and toil and Torah so this is his topicus being willing to doesn't mean you actually live that way but the willingness to give up physical Comforts in order to acquire life itself the Torah which is instructions these are the instructions for Life the instruction manual what what you wouldn't be willing to give up anyway so we understand Lo Newton it actually says see the man was an unbelievable food it was angel food first of all it didn't have any taste but unless you had a good imagination it tasted like whatever you wanted it to taste like and it fell at your your foot basically it came to your door if you were righteous and if you weren't so righteous you'd have to walk out your door and pick it up at the curb I'm talking about here in the in the desert I mean I didn't have curbs but you'd have to walk out to the and then if you really weren't righteous you might have to walk around the corner and if you really weren't that righteous you might have to walk across the entire Camp so everyone knew who was righteous and who wasn't righteous it was so obvious it was enough shame to do true of it right so anyway this idea that not only did you eat it you didn't need to go to the bathroom it was totally absorbed in your body there was no Solace there was no excrement um you didn't even have to change your clothes there was no sweat uh you know your clothes it actually your clothes grew on you you didn't have to change your socks or your your shoes that was it whatever you wore when you left Egypt you were the entire time there's no reason to change um okay so the toad was only given to that generation that ate the man we're throwing an angel food what was the point because really when it comes to learning Torah you're not right you don't need to work you don't need to have any distractions because how else you're going to eat people think that they have to go and work in order to feed themselves but no if you it is at least life in the desert right when you concentrate and you study the whole day you will be fed you will be taken care of all your needs will be taken care of there's actually Gamora that explains this and I'll just have to find it for you um actually it's the middle it's number 16 on the source sheet basharlock 20. I'll read it to you let them go and gather straw for themselves that's what Pharaoh told them they didn't really go out to the Courtyard to gather straw but in the wilderness you know when we in the wilderness we gathered a portion every day of this manner and who gave it to us he who created the Day created sustenance for the day remember the Ezra of modaim stated because of this anyone who has sufficient food for the day and yet asked what shall eat tomorrow lacks faith that I may prove them whether or not they follow me follow my law this is um in right Exodus 16 4. this is one of the reasons we were given man to see if we we believed in God um rub Yeshua held if a man studies two laws in the morning and two in the evening even though he is occupied with his labors throughout the rest of the day they consider him as a he's fulfilled the entire Torah because it's if he meditated in a day night as in Joshua 1 8 meaning if you set a times time set aside time in the morning and in the evening to study Torah it's as if you'll get credit as if you studied the whole day the son of Yeshua observed from this verse that the Torah was given for study to those who have sufficient Mana to eat since they are not compelled to work or engage in business indeed how can a man sit and study when he doesn't know where he's going to obtain his food and drink garments and covering hence the Torah was given for study to those who possessed Manna you want to be the worlds who partake of the Mana well you're gonna have to you have to pray for it and be righteous enough and Hashem we should all Merit to be eating mana and not have to toil and therefore dedicate Our Lives to studying Torah and teaching because if you're not teaching you're not studying okay I'll talk about that another time so the clear clock continues it's from the whole concept of the coming down of the man Lam do Derek his tapkus we learn this very special character trait of satisfaction from Little for anybody who's ready to receive the Torah has to understand this and they need this the Noosa Falls and now in addition to this nishtashed it became embedded it became implanted right shoresh means rooted this amuna became rooted through those Miracles that were performed for them in the desert just like the Miracles that occurred to them by the yam suf right when we read the we talk about the Miracles and there's even opinions it wasn't just ten plagues that happened in Egypt but even more happened by the yamsuf unbelievable some say 50 some say 250 right and on and on unbelievable okay Aloha Rose what is this all to teach us that it was actually really embedded in their heart it was given over for them to really take to heart furthermore because we have this concept right the six days of creation and then The Seventh-Day Shabbos match up with three sets of two thousand the first two thousand years of creation then there was another two thousand years we're right now in the very last Millennium the 6 000th year right we're in the sixth it's called the fifth Millennium right I don't know what it's called you know what I mean we're in 5783 so it's the uh we're in the 6 000th year right in the and that's in that section the last two thousand years so there is a let me find it so there's a quote from San Pedro 97a and I did bring it down here in a town of devel Yahoo right the school El Yahoo taught that uh Shana are you Alma right there's 6 000 years remember the six days of creation match up with the six thousand years of creation six days of creation match the six thousand years of creation the first two thousand of were called tohu meaning chaos and void that's because that's before Torah as we know that was avram avinu born in 1948 and he came to believe fully in God by the age of 52. so at the year 2000 that was when chaos was over and the Torah began but it wasn't in Ruden until the 26th generation of creation which is the generation of the desert the door hadaya the generation of knowledge that's we call it and that was like midpoint almost midpoint towards the end um towards the beginning of those 2000 years called Torah and the last two thousand years the 2000 years we're in now is called that the years of mashiach okay that means that it's Roy and fitting for meshiach to come during this time now let's continue where we left off if I could just find it and here we are so he quotes like this that because the first two uh 2000 years are called tahu quoting it from Sanhedrin 97a main kamidbar that we say the first two thousand years were like a mid bar like a desert there was no real until avram there was no real word of God being um professed to the masses right there were individuals that lived by the Torah uh the Torah that we know existed before but nobody really was going out there and we'll call preaching it and sharing it sharing the good news okay so it was from avram onward called the time of Torah so mid bar it was desolate like a mid bark kosman shubalo Torah the whole time it was without Torah akano therefore it was so necessary for this 26th generation to accept the Torah in order to complete whatever was lacking in the world the world needed the Torah then they called them yes prior to the Jewish people receiving or accepting the Torah Ayub that the Jewish people were called just like anybody else we were we did not have a special status until Martin Torah or maybe we're advocacy saying from the time we went to the yamsuf a week after we left Egypt when we left Egypt we were still what we were still we didn't receive the tour yet we were no different than anybody else that's what he's saying he naked them we were like any other Nation the Lord needs we were not considered separate yet to have unique completion or unique perfection okay we weren't yet separated from the other nations therefore we were not called by this name the Jewish people binay Israel the children of Israel it was only through the receiving of the Torah now obviously you're going to have a question we didn't receive the Torah until 50 days after we left and we're only talking about a week a week and a day whatever it is it was then right it was only then by God separating us from all the other nations that we became his special and treasured Nation now I want to bring in a story about race lokish just to bring home a point the clear card doesn't mention this but I think that this is very um apropos and fits in well what the clear card is saying that we did receive the will and we accepted the willingness to receive the Torah and that was enough that was as if we received the Torah itself that was our weapon of War even though we didn't receive you know the acknowledgment from Hashem until she was 50 days later and then we didn't receive or supposedly received until 40 days after that that the first set of tablets which we obviously didn't receive we they were broken because we were involved into the uh the um it was only on Yom Kippur the right the following Yom Kippur that we received the second set and that would be really the cabal satara but anyway there's different stages of receiving the Torah well guess what I think what the clear card is saying is that when we cross the sea and we believed in Hashem and we believed in the prophecy of Moses that was an acceptance a willingness to receive the Torah that was coming to us and I'm going to bring down and but see 84 a famous story of raish lakish who became the khavruta the the study partner rabiokanan now this Gomorrah talks about the beauty of he was very healthy okay that means he was overweight he was very healthy and he had very pale skin and he looked like a woman for some reason Ray schluckish was the head of the bandits he was not a kosher Jew at the time but he became one of the greatest rabbis that ever lived I want everyone to know you could be in the the pits of prison you could be in the the lowest place in your life and you could rise to places like Rabbi Akiva and race lukish there is no barrier that's going to keep you back Rachel was the head of the bandits I think of him like Tarzan he swung from the trees and attacked people and like Robin Hood he took he took the goods from people traveling through the forest he was uh he was to be feared okay and one day he saw rabiokana bathing in the Jordan River Ray schlocker saw him and leaped into the Jordan pursuing him at the time Rachel was the leader of a band of marauders ravyokanan heard and saw reshlukish and he saw this immense power and attraction for beauty obviously because he knew he was gorgeous okay he knew how good-looking he was I don't want to go into how he knew but he knew and he understood that race lukish thought he was a woman so he says listen I see your strength you could use your strength for studying Torah ish lucky said to him yeah you think I'm strong I think you're beautiful your beauty is fit for women said back to him you know what in return if you if you devote yourself to learning Torah I'm going to give you my sister you think I'm pretty wait till you see her I'll give her to you in marriage she's even more beautiful than I am you know what happened at that moment race luckish accepted upon himself to study Torah he made a decision yeah I'm going to do that and you know what happened at that moment he lost all of his physical strength he was unable to jump back out of the river to get his own clothes he was unable to return there's like this transformation there's a shift when you take all your will and your determination to go and fulfill spiritual Pursuits that is a tremendous amount of energy that is now being streamlined in that direction and he lost his physical strength as this you know real Rambo kind of guy probably had just normal strength he couldn't jump out right so what I think is happening taking the story that the Jewish people when they went through the yamsuf and started through this desert there was a trans there's a transcendental shift where they began to believe in God immensely completely and in the prophecy of Moses and that was as if they accepted the Torah at that point and were able to eat the man okay so that's how I am the clear card does not bring it in I'm bringing it in for this reason let's continue with the clear card s he's now going to go back through the parts of the verses that we explained and tell the whole story from beginning to end so it goes like this when pharah originally when the Torah says originally the Hebrew it was when Pharaoh sent the people it's true they were still called we weren't yet the Jewish people we were not yet any different we weren't separated yet from the other nations of the world and we didn't have weapons of war either any weapons whether it was physical nor spiritual he's going to describe for sure we didn't have physical weapons we already kind of described that already low clay Zion hatavi they didn't have physical natural weapons because we weren't even trained in war we already discussed this low clezine shall rather at that point we still did not yet have the klzine shelatora so in the beginning we didn't have any weapons of war charay low-key blue or die in atar because we had not yet accepted the Torah I think this is we weren't even ready and prepared to receive the Torah kilone there wasn't yet this embedded embeddedment this this implanting of this kind of faith yet therefore what is the Torah then go go and say Lo nacham Elohim Derek Harris police team God did not guide us by way of this Civilization by the police team I thought Pete even though it was the closest way even though it was shikarovu even though it was the I would I wouldn't say the best way but you would think it's the closest it's the shortest but God was concerned lest the people reconsider and change their mind when they see War the fish should die in Hema biklal yes because we were no long we were not yet Jews we didn't have the Torah we didn't have the the the the weapons of war we were just like anybody else in fact he says the dying him of the cloud yes sir we were just like all the rest of the Nations then for sure we would have went back to Egypt because we didn't have any weapons of war what did we what are we going to gain by going in and seeing war and then thinking we're going to fight it no there's no doubt it's so obvious that we would have been defeated if we didn't go back of course we would have went back therefore what does the Clear Car say what the Torah says what did Hashem do the yase that God took us when the Security's route could he take the arm by way of the desert of the Sea of reeds it was only through going through the Miracles that occurred at the splitting of the sea and going into the desert that we were able to acquire Complete faithura because then we were prepared and ready to receive the Torah he and it was at that very moment yet clay zaina malayam as if we had the Hamish as if we had the seven books as if we had the Torah as if we had these weapons of war upon us it was as if similar as if we already received the Torah even though we wouldn't really physically receive physically receive it until Yom Kippur but that point we're going to be called the children of Israel in order to distinguish us to separate us from all the other nations of the world that's what it means at the end of these two verses where it says Israel it was the children of Israel that went up armed it was it could only have been the children of Israel right the word hamushin which means armed can only mean armed with the five books with I'm sorry with five different types of weapons of Wars we describe that's so unusual they were actually five weapons of war what were those five weapons of war they were the five books of the Torah and the seven books for him or even if you want to say right this pipio this double-edged sword is either the Torah and or prayer like we said come work now the clear car claims should rabba unfortunately I didn't have time to look at it I'll trust that the clear that the clear cards quoting breakshied rabbit correctly that and martinus that actually when we received the Torah the the at Martin Torah God Hagar Hagar is like strapped up like belted he right he um he gave us these weapons of war on it like a belt so to speak um now if you look in the ramban in parshus kitisa there is a verse in Exodus chapter 33 verse 5. let me find it here on the source sheet it's number 15 on the source sheet and this is right after the benesrao was involved with the golden calf and the Lord said to Moses say to the children of Israel you are stiff-necked people if I go up into your midst for one moment I will destroy you but now otta take off your ornaments take off your finery what do we what are we understanding that this the ornaments the clean the clay Zion the ornaments we had were the weapons of war it was I'm not sure it's a punishment I think it's called measure for measure God wanted us to remove this now in the targamonculus it says which means remove your prepared weapons from yourselves so these were the weapons that we had prepared according to the clear card he understands this is a clear-cut proof there's no question that the the weapons of war we had were sure lead the Torah our peace even though at the time we actually did leave from Egyptian we did not actually have weapons of war that we had bar until we came to the desert itself and that you know what happened in the desert the Jewish people did not say to God word of Moses how are we supposed to walk through this desert Lo makum Zera there is nothing growing there's no seeds that is where they received they acquired the real true faith at the very beginning of this acquisition it was already considered as if they were embedded implanted with this amuna with the Torah with therefore the the weapons of war that's why we understand that the Israel the peninsula went up armed hainu bismar sha'alum meaning when they at that moment when they went up to from Egypt so in other words going through the Sea of reeds was really like the border of Israel they only left Egypt a week later right they didn't fully leave the clutches of Egypt until and maybe that's even when I think about Hashem took them all the way back in a circuitous route almost back to the start almost back to the starting point um so he says that the the the the the Finishing Touch of acquisition of acquiring this type of Faith all took place by the yam suf by the uh the splitting of the sea okay now Derek Cheney we're going to go into the second way to look at these verses which is quite different quite different than everything we said Derek Cheney B sure there's another way to resolve these verses we have to understand that when it says the word is a code word for the air of RAV and or those who are the most inferior of the Jewish people um I just want to mention a few things real quickly I have a lot of sources here um but I do want to take you so let's go to Numbers chapter 11 verse 1. it says over there Hashem the people were looking to complain and it was evil in the ears of the Lord okay I don't have to read the rest Rashi says there the word is used only in reference to the wicked so the era of RAV are either the wicked uh Egyptians they're not so weird Wicked I mean we're going to see the wicked compared to the Jews but they're the best of the Egyptians perhaps who really wanted to become Jewish and they actually converted with us when we converted Mount Sinai and they're still with us today they are the troublemakers within the Jewish people we're not going to get into name calling or anything like that I have a lot of the explanation who they are Rashi says on chap on Exodus chapter 12 verse 38 it says also great mixed multitude went up with them gam error of Alita Rashi says over there this was a mixture of nations of gerim of proselytites um basically they were the Klingons right the Klingons they saw the Jewish people they had some Faith they had some let's say um vision of joining up with the Jewish people and they clinged on they clung on um and they ended up converting along with the Jewish people and they are now part of the Jewish Nation but they always are like this little ah what's the word I can use I don't know I'm not going to say too much um apparently the numbers the clear card brings this down but the mikhilta and rabieshmael brings it down as well that the numbers they were twice the amount of Jews there were one million two hundred thousand according to us we were six hundred thousand that was the words of reviews says twice that two million four which really means times three and Remy Nelson says three million six either way the the there's more of them than there is of the banay Israel maybe that's why I'm is used three times Bane Israel is only used once but nevertheless let's stick to what the clear car says and not go too far I do want to mention that it's very interesting that Moses decided on his own to bring these people out because he actually saw the spark of great potential these were probably Souls that began to perfect themselves and he saw they were well on their way but they weren't perfected yet and he won he took them along to help their perfection along I'll leave it at that okay I'll leave it at that let's go back into the clear card where he last said that the name of the aravrov is referring to either the the the most um Team should be the most inferior of Jews and the Arab Roth It's considered one name in other words the Arab is either referring to these non these Egyptians who just joined on clinged on to the Jewish people um or they're the the inferior of the Jews so when it says did Pharaoh really send out these people as far as I know he didn't send them out but he let them go he didn't chase after them the clear card is talking about that's what her arm is means is consistent with the air of Wrath the very fact that Pharaoh did not protest he didn't protest or prevent it from leaving it's as if he actually sent them we find this type of language in two other verses in Genesis 24 54 and in Genesis 30 verse 25. so in 24th 54 I think I think this is referring to um Eliezer is wanting to go back to avraham says they ate and drank he and the men who were with him they lodged and they Rose in the morning and he said send me away to my master sorry send me away to my master the very shalach send me means allow me to go allow me obviously he he wants to go and by asking send me it's not that it's not that uh avram's family sent Eliezer back but he let they allowed them to go so this term when it says is basically just saying that Pharaoh didn't prevent them from going and again we have it when um when yaakov wants to leave lavon's house it says in Genesis 30 verse 25 it came to pass when Russell had borne Yosef that yaakov said to love and send me away and I will go again not that Lavon was sending him away but allow me to go and if you don't protest it means that you sent me so the clear card is saying that is consistent with our verse regarding the air of Wrath so the word the first part is talking about the Arab Wrath now we're in for the final stretch here it was because of the air of Wrath that God took us in a circuitous route not because of the Jews God did not want them to return to Egypt when they would see war of above but for the Jewish people who had faith in God according to this opinion they didn't need to go and secured this route because the Jewish people already had not according to the first way but at this point the Jewish people had Faith so why did they have faith because they're the sons of Abraham Isaac and jacobini as we'll see shortly he says the Jewish people went up armed with their faith they are the children's of those with faith that they had Faith within them they are the children of Abraham ising Jacob children of Believers Believers children of believers these Israelites they believed and were assured of the Salvation of God Zoo he clay zainam that is their weapon of War their faith therefore they would they are assured when a war comes that they will not lose that they will be victorious they're not afraid has such an influence on us on the true Israelites that it wears away and Fades our true Muna any diminishing of Faith came just like who is responsible for the sin of the golden calf only 3 000 Jews but who instigated it the air of I talk about that another another time kikarov who listen to this because it was close no because it was near because it's new to them they're right we say kirov bringing clothes those who are far that's what kirov means bringing clothes those to afar these aircraft were far and we brought them close which means they were new the Jewish people already had this faith for Generations but these people were new of bow it's the new ones that are coming close and they had not yet had this sense of faith that was embedded and implanted in them perhaps whether it's through the DNA or through the learning through the watching your own forefathers uh have right when you're watching your own parents making brachot and telling you about their faith and how they would break ice in Siberia just to go to the Mikvah and how they were beaten by you know the whoever these anti-semites and they capture their faith this embeds in you that you're willing to be mysterious nephewish to give up your life for the true faith of God and these people were still new so to speak and didn't have the Moon it needed to be implanted in them anyway so what I'm going to end this it's a good review these are good uh fundamental concepts and I wish everyone a frailer schwat right we should see our dreams come true because two vishwat is really an opportunity to touch the atsailus where everything just Begins the very conception of our thoughts should be positive and it should be fulfilled through the seasons and through the year and bizarat Hashem the very seed of our thoughts should be so the most positive and embedded with our moon in Hashem and go from strength to strength and I wish you all shabbat shalom and afraelica uh and get back everybody
