Unique Spirit of Yehoshua by Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] good evening everybody we're on chapter 27 in numbers partial Marcia's Pinkus chapter 23 27 verse 18 do you know that when God says it's now time to appoint Joshua as the leader he says take to yourself Joshua the son of nun a man in whom there is a spirit lean your hand upon him did I get okay so the samata s yoga Allah you shall lean your hand upon him God said lean your hand one hand hey guys with me it says one hand in your book this is one hand in my book that's one hand go down to verse 23 what does it say it says he leaned his hands upon him and commanded him as her shame had spoken through Moses so if that's the case if God told him put one hand and he went ahead and put two hands and then the verse says he did exactly what God told him to do is it just me am I am I the only one that's not getting it so Rashi actually says on that verse that John did Moses was very generous he gave them a lot of wisdom right if you like hopefully he that Rashi that was going to be the first short Soros on the second part now I didn't I did look I didn't give you the Rashi but I have the Rashi here twenty seven with verse I don't eat the rocks you kids you don't have it wrong chapter right chapter would help 23 he leaved his hands so Rashi says but I am your thought generously generously yo jerk the yoke to me motion its tava much more than he had been commanded second is bharat who overlooked i'm actually said to him the samasta as vodka lean your hand using one hand boooo said me stay about but what did he do he did it with both hands the also he made joshua could clean male the kaduche he made him like a vessel that was overflowing he was giving him so much generously what he filled him Malekith motto the irony effect he filled them with wisdom in such a generous way so that's we understand but still the verse did say that he did exactly as God commanded so what's the problem here there's also another problem in that we have one of the Commandments in the Torah one of the sixty 613 commandments is do not add and do not subtract from the Torah in other words don't change God's words correct don't change it don't add don't subtract don't change it and yet from our appearance first appearance there was a change we have to deal with this we have to deal with it what's going on and of course we're gonna get deep inside everything's gonna be resolved but you have to hang in there you have to that patience okay alright if I stop right now you wouldn't sleep tonight probably that tomorrow night tofu knows where so hang in there okay but guess what this isn't the only time such an anomaly happens if you go and find in Leviticus chapter 1 verse 4 when Aaron is told to put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering it says the shall macchiato I'll row show a lot to place his hands one hand upon the burnt offering again yea though is one hand but if you look later on a chap in st. you know Leviticus chapter 17 verse 21 it says now write the samatha our own has stea Dobb i'll brochure absolutely here he actually placed he should place two hands upon the goat that is sent on yom kippur so we have a problem we have a similar issue that we have to deal with so earlier on in parses the I am lady Gras we explained he he the click car he explained it already and this is it ready guys you put on your seatbelts you listen to this man t-mod he gay haha the leaders of the people I'm Amish holding on to my arms here my armchair the leaders of the people sir team the cabal and they have to accept upon themselves you want to be a leader of the Jewish people you know what you have to do you accept upon yourselves almanach you Khepera then you will be an atonement the Asha and a guilt offering I'll call the arm on behalf of the Jewish people come out ready for this if you look up with you Tirana me chapter 1 verse 13 this is brought down in huzzah leanness it free it says over there if that's again chapter it's Deuteronomy chapter 1 verse 13 provide for yourselves distinguished men who are wise understanding and well known to your tribes and I will appoint them as your heads so this is Moses delineating who's going to be the leaders and in Hebrew of us Verrocchio Canberra the rush ahem I will sum I will either place them or appoint them at their heads now a shin is it has a dot on one side but it's the same letter to sin so here this led this word vas she name is with the sin the dot is on the left but the huzzah the rabbi's teach us that there's a rush there's a level of understanding this word then it's not that I saw point them as your heads but that the guilt of the people will be at the heads unbelievable now okay I can explain it very simply if you're in a position to give rebuke which every leader then is in such a position to give I mean he's privy to number one most of the private information that people have because people come to him so you're gonna go to him he'll know number two he he was elected to be the leader or he was selected to be the leader and people usually listen to the leader so if you're in a position to give rebuke and you don't what is the process a you shall surely rebuke the people because if you don't the sin will be on you now we understand why the leaders on a very practical level level end up carrying instead of the people because they're in a position to give rebuke and note the verse says about Joshua he'd a rock bow he had a certain spirit about him and the clear card is going to tell us that most leaders can only see by the actions and therefore in the thoughts you're not responsible for the thoughts of people unless they act on it and when they act on it it retro actively responsible for the thoughts and the actions because no actions come without thoughts which we're gonna see quite clearly later on but if it's only thoughts alone who are you you're not responsible but Joshua had a Ruach bow Joshua had a special spirit where he was able to stand up and understand people he was able to read people he was he knew their thoughts unbelievable and therefore Moses gave him too hot huh got the ability to stand up and have the authority on both aspects wait till you see this as it says in the c3 become the sushma Tom to Lloyd the man he gave him the guilt of the people are hanging on the leaders just like when you come to the temple and bring an offering you take your sins and you don't just throw them on to the animal because the animals going up on in place of your sin you take your hands and you lean on the animal and you confess your sins and guess what happens the Sham it's the day thief in Hebrew it into schmutz the dirt the sin the anomaly's come off of you and onto the animal I'll say me brew commotion akuti odd al equipment heinel detain sham it's the dog he shall have Psalm 8 I'll have miss mark the one leaning it then leaves him and goes into that which is being leaned upon and what is that that's the core body that's the offering and I want to remind the word offering is such a bad translation the word korban the root is the courage to come close you come close to God through this I have no better word the offering sacrifice right neither what is a good translation it's that which brings you closer to God coughs me clods ooh so to this placing the hand the meaning of Moses on to the next leader or any leader giving authority to the next leader and the fact that's we call rabbis rabbis have smith ha it's the authority to then Judah Kate and to pass down the tradition we call it's me huh although it's not the original Smith off all the way back to Moses but nevertheless the holding of the hands the leaning of the hand by eye they do that I think I saw a movie once where the Queen or somebody night somebody they take a sword a sword they put on the shoulder it's like the same idea I guess they got it from us great so you're putting the shipments of the dhoti you're putting the dirt of the people of Israel onto the leaders as it says Sushma Tom - Lu mmm the guilt of the people is hanging on the shoulders of the leaders now that is a very deep idea you have to agree great keep reading yeah we're gonna keep reading so it sounds like this being a stock or bond just a regular offering a sin-offering show like the yesh name in a sneaker so someone brings a sin offering there's two types of leeming your hands in the confession okay height to the MA said head took four because once you are admitting that you sins I want to tell you something absolute intended sins you do not bring an offering that's called been Maisie with full intent you sit in the full tent you don't bring and if it was honest you rubbed up against the wall and I don't know it's a pebble fell and killed somebody or or the light went on and off on Shabbat you had no thought about it whatsoever you also don't bring an offering okay so the offering is only when there was some knowledge some missing knowledge some partial intent of something okay but so there's if you're actually bringing if you actually sinned in reality in the action you'd send two ways ki8 massive blow moksha oh damn it Lamar said there is no action called sin without some thought process going through your mind so there's going to be - there's gonna be the sin for the thought they could tone it for the thought and we need the atonement for the action I'll k-member insolence a year I missed a laugh therefore it is mentioned regarding the goat that goes out to the desert the some of the some of our let's stay down Aaron the high priest puts both his hands on the animal if you follow the cop here I said to my superior because that animal is coming to atone for what kind of sin sin that involves both action and thought I will a bore of heavier work live on this the burnt offering only comes to me to atone for thought alone not for action that's why it says the sum up yonder arose hola that's why when it said my errand he should place one hand on the head of the burnt offering because that's only coming for Thought yoga which is what so two we find by the regular leaders of the Jewish people not Joshua I already gave you a hint why he's going to get two hands but the regular people the regular leaders they're only going to be responsible for the actions of the people not for their thoughts Hema yasuo vana ADA they carry the sin of the congregation Haim she is thought to be masa he should come to be or the fee she a should be Adam little vain amazing because they have the ability to prevent them to protest to give them rebuke and they fail so once they fail so they're gonna have to bring their meeting they're basically carrying the the sin of the action which included the thought as well I'm not local Romani nip pass listen to this not every leader and Shepherd seizes absorbs the sin of someone else because she like to be revived when the only thing that the other person did was sin to thought alone why we know the famous verse in Deuteronomy 29 28 it says honey stuck and Mister out Hashem okay no the hidden things belong to God how can I be responsible for the hidden things in them in my friends mind only when he does the action then I'm then I'm guilty you know as a leader for two things only retroactively about his thoughts but if it was just the thoughts alone how can I be held responsible me oh damn much mono Tosha Herrera who knows the thinning the hidden ideas and thoughts of someone else just like Rashi explains the partial of the suffering which we're not going here but guess what however I've a maroa ish a Sherlock bow but if that leader has a spirits and I mean a good spirit that positive spirit an extra spirit of need not just intuition but to be able to really read ESP beyond ESP like prophecy right I mean like how do you know the innermost thoughts of someone else but Joshua had that the putt the verse says I shall rock both he had that spirit shield de l'homme lake- rulership color copier schewe that this leader if this such a leader knows how to go against the spirit and again we're talking about a spirit something is not tangible you wouldn't know it otherwise of each and every person just what Joshua did who you died was having a Haru Kosh of cliches he can actually like a real Shepherd to Makka then to guide someone comes to a fight for you advice you're able to know through walk OCONUS through holy spirit to whatever spirit you have that you have you can actually direct them before they send you already know what they're thinking that forbid about a possibly a downfall in a spiritual way you could help lift them up you can teach them you can guide them you give them strength and that was Joshua's strength as didn't who she top is gods hate to hear her so that type of sadiq that type of righteous leader will absorb the sin of thought as and ashamed of the COS anub arak kodesh sure Olaf after his eyes was able to see the vision because he had ruach ha'qodesh I know mayor may you love this word but you see it I'm not making it up Joshua had rococo dish it's cold a room closed shop ha better whatever would go up upon his friend he would know even if it wasn't taking out an action whether it was for good or for bad and therefore he had the ability to give the rebuke ahead of time just on thought alone beautiful okay we're gonna go to the last piece can turn this off for saying we'll turn it back come on I want to know [Music]
