Why Didn't God Destroy the Idol of Baal Tzafon? with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] gibbon of eight midrash welcome home to torah a very warm welcome i want to thank the guys who the women also who are here who you know uh whatever uh the weather out there who knows it's gonna rain it's not going but it's very cold thank you for coming and for those on skype thank you for joining us here we go now what we are going to deal with we always deal with fundamental issues okay and of course we want you to learn hebrew and for those who are watching already for a period of time no down below there's a link in the youtube description box for the source sheets they don't get the english sources of course the ones that i don't know translate the clear car i just bring out some of the um translations of rashi and of the hummish that we'll be using so it'll make it easier to follow along so anyway but if you do you should be interested i hope and follow along in the hebrew go to the website which is the link is below and therefore i implore you to follow using your finger along with the hebrew we're parashat bashar chapter 14 in in in numbers in exodus and we're going to be dealing with verse 2. now i'd like to get to verse 5 as well but let's start with verse 2. we're going to focus mainly on well at least in hebrew three words in english it seems like five uh in front of bouts of phone right let's read the whole verse um speak to the children of israel and let them turn back so god is telling moses that he should command right basically tell the children of israel that they're going to turn around at a certain point and they're going to encamp in a certain place now where they're going to encamp from in front of p he which seems to be according to the torah if we know geography between a place called migdol and the sea but it also says in front of balsa phone you shall encamp opposite by the sea okay so let's just read the hebrew the hebrew it says like this is so far so good and here we have our famous three hebrew words we're going to deal and focus on a lot for the next bit lyfnae balzafon okay in front of this place called balsa phone now before we go into the clear car we might as well just examine rashi because this is one of the things that rashi is going to the clear car is going to deal with the second part right if you look in rashi towards the bottom it says in front of about the phone okay ready like drum roll please okay this is like okay rashi is sometimes very curt very short and concise and what we're going to try to do is unravel what exactly the message raj is trying to convey to us only this was left from all the egyptian deities in other words there were many idols amongst egyptians and even if they weren't idols let's just talk about deities in general and during the ten plagues many of their let's say philosophies their reason to believe in these deities were destroyed so the only one that was seen to be left of the egyptian deities was this one balthaphone and hashem made it this way right hashem destroyed their philosophies and their deities up until this point where this bouts of phone was still standing ready i would ask you for drumroll again but we'll hold off on that in order to mislead them we've been speaking a lot about what it seems to be as deceit when it comes and by brighton spoke about this the deceit or strategies in war you have no obligation to tell your your enemy your plan right we recently had a president of the united states who said there's no reason to tell our enemies what we're going to do okay very proud of that person but anyway that's not what we do you don't tell your enemy your plan not only that you are allowed to let them think what they want to think in order to deceive them okay so that's what raj is telling us that this was left uh in order to mislead them so that they would say that their own deity is very powerful well does he really explain does rashi explain what this deity represented or the whole story not yet certainly rashi doesn't seem to imply what exactly it was but whatever it was the balsa phone caused them to be misled caused them to make a mistake thinking that this was still a very powerful god and now just to know that rashi quotes from job 12 chapter 12 verse 23 and it's a very interesting verse and i think this really applies we have to have faith we have to know hashem will build up the haughty he'll make the nations great and destroys them now we're really talking about the fact that they themselves he allows them right there's free will and they make themselves so hardy right there's an expression in english the bigger you are the harder you fall right so when you make yourself all kinds of hari when you think you're uh when there's no room for god let's say because you're everything and there's going to be uh not such nice ending okay now it's interesting because the word is masking the of them so the word mas gay is spelled with a sin not a shin and that's okay the reason i'm pointing this out if we look in rashi he mentions the word mas gay some say what he did was as he did to the egyptians when they overtook israel before about the phone in other words we're right now in rashi and job and he's describing what it means that he makes nations great and destroys them it's what hashem did to the egyptians when he what it's all says he did to the egyptians when they overtook israel he destroyed them okay they heard they made a mistake and they said this is remember now in the head we're in the heads of the egyptians you should know that he agreed with us perhaps we're talking about hashem in other words we're in the head of the egyptian perhaps maybe he hashem whatever almighty power there is right because we had these astrologers right and they said let's drown the firstborn of every jew right so what happens you should know that he agreed with us to drown them in the seas we had to creed i just want to reiterate that we are inside of the heads of the egyptians okay so we have to read it as if they're saying it okay they heard and this is what they said you should know that he agreed with us who's he hashem all right we originally wanted to kill the jews by throwing him into the sea and now look at them they're stuck right by the sea this is a reason that they might think they can overthrow the jews at this more moment what did they originally decree in janus in exodus chapter 1 verse 22 they said this is what they said every son that is born right pharaoh said this to his people you're cast into the river and they also said meaning maybe at this point that what that their deity bouts of phone is mighty why because it still existed hashem destroyed all the other deities at this point but this one still stood so what would they say that a jew should ever say this seeing that no acts of judgment were performed by god upon it as they were upon all the other gods of egypt and again this is inside the head of the egyptian and therefore believing that the omnipresent caused that well the omnipresent actually this is what we're saying this is what rashi saying and i underlined it the omni present really this was his doing he caused them to be misled in order to drown them so he caused right who where do we get our thoughts it's amazing if we really think about it our own thoughts are emanating from hashem's thoughts well we're like little uh what's the word antennas right and you you need to eat kosher or eat carefully behave carefully you have to keep that antenna in good shape okay because we are creating the image of god there is a certain aspect right from talks to the soul the soul is obviously throughout your entire body you don't know exactly pinpoint where it is but there's an aspect of our soul that is sitting and resting around the crown of our head around the brain okay but this expression is not the main one that this explanation is not the main one now i had a little problem with this when i read it earlier and i was learning with my harusa now you have to understand i mentioned about the shin and versus a sin a sin it's a it's the same as a shin but the dot is on the left and it sounds like a soft s where as opposed to the shin is like a sh sound right and what would the word mean if it the shin the sin the sin had a shin let's let's examine so rashi's saying well this is not really the main real explanation because if it would have been so in other words what we just said then it should have been dotted on the right and it therefore the word means to make a mistake to mislead but rashi's pointing out that it's not with the shin it's with a sin and that has to do with haughtiness well let's see he said the main this is what it really means it means making great the expression of having great strength meaning to raise up he makes the nations great and causes them to prosper and we know many nations throughout time and history have prospered greatly right we remember the golden age of spain but you know what happened to them and guess what happens and their heart becomes haughty with or through their prosperity so that the fact that they prosper is actually part of their destruction unbelievable we have to be very careful about today's to today's world right now we didn't even begin to clear car now we're going to get into the clear car because the very first thing he quotes is rashi so i wanted to go through that idea as a foundation let's begin with a balcony he's quoting rashid the clear card is quoting rashi that this bouncer phone remained from all the other gods now we can deduce from that you have to use your brain that there must have been other gods meaning they must they must have believed in a lot of other gods and he's going to explain that each god that they believed in had a unique mission or purpose or strength right like we know we hear about the god of love like ancient egypt or the god of fertility or the god of wealth or the god of war right they each one of these people who believe in idols have a breakdown of what is unique about that particular god that they believe in so we're going to discuss the bouts of phone but in the meantime the clear car says the yes la nu li taintan we have to give a little bit of a reason for this for the statement that was just made that what that he this bouts of phone remains from all the other gods of egypt lamin why would this god in particular remain from all the other gods that were destroyed by the almighty in egypt the near imiza it seems like this sorrows they had many ways of serving or worshiping other gods la jar be mazzolo's because they had they served many different i'll use the word constellations but we know that means false gods because there is to each one of these different constellations or these different false gods a certain strength or power and influence that is unique to that particular item will bounce a phone and this one we're discussing balsa phone hainu it happens to be what they thought about this particular idol this is what they considered this was the one of wealth this is the you want wealth you worship this and you'll be rich i mean whatever but this is the one that provides wealth now interestingly in job job i'll tell you where it is it's number four no it's uh it's a number six on your english source sheet it's job 3722 now this in context does not mean what the clear car is saying but it's brought down many times when we discuss the idea of what does the north represent the north represents evil it reaps also represents wealth right we know that i think we don't believe this in its entirety right but there is this concept in english they say that money is the source of all evil i'm not even sure if i'm quoting it right okay but it sounds something like that so listen to joke job says gold comes from the north right look this is the hebrew meet cell phone from the north zahav it's coming from the north wouldn't mean gold's coming from the north therefore what and we translate it in the context it doesn't mean that but that's okay gold comes from the north i just want to take you to jeremiah chapter 1 verse 14 which is the next source again the cleocard doesn't bring this down but i felt this helps us understand what it means that the gold or wealth comes from the north i just want to before i read the jeremiah because we are talking about babylon being in the north but it's interesting because it says evil comes to the north that in the beginning the clear car in the beginning of bray sheet the clear car explains why does the torah begin with a bet and the idea is we're not supposed to look behind us because that's beyond the sun there's nothing new under the sun everything in the torah is about this world so you have a bet that kind it's like a it closes off whatever was behind okay but what's forward okay when you think about how we read the torah okay now no matter where in the world you're going to be facing jerusalem so but let's just say when you're in jerusalem most people are going to be facing east okay you basically the idea is you read the torah you face east and when you have it opened the scrolls open in front of you the bet is going to be open to the north the sun itself starts in the east and then at least i don't know the northern hemisphere same thing but it goes to the south and then it sets in the west so even the bet represents hashemish we are in this world under the sun in this world but why is it open to the north because the torah is the antidote to the izahara you need this let's just say at least in this world the conflict so to speak in order for growth to happen in order for you to choose good in order for you to the torah itself is the antidote to the azara so there's the clear car over there check it out in genesis um one of the first first verses and there you have it first verse itself um let's just go to jeremiah chapter 114 so and the lord said to me jeremiah says from the north the misfortune will break forth now in hebrew it says something i think a little bit more interesting but why they translate his misfortune i get meet sothon te pata so it means that the from the north will open up will break forth evil i mean that's hara misfortune not good things okay so i just wanted to use that verse just to drive it home a little bit something about the north so this this particular idol is called balsa phone again going back to the idea of wealth the egyptians believed in many different gods this particular god was the god of wealth and they believed that that's where they get all their wealth from i mean i'm not trying to lead you anywhere but this we took all their wealth did we we took a lot we take it all well let's let's let's continue and find out what's going on hashem specifically with intent let this idol remain right we can't buy the thoughts of phone in order to mislead them to cause them to be mistaken to show them to right to make them be misled what could they justify many times pharaoh himself said you're right your god is right we're the sinners we're wrong he said that several times okay i have the verses it's in chapter 9 verse 27 again in chapter 10 verse 16. so in a certain sense pharaoh no matter how bad and evil he was he's still a human being and he could come to some some recognition of the evilness of himself and his people but to steal all the gold or most of so much gold and i say steal loosely they took it away he couldn't justify that and he felt wow my idol bought the phone they're stuck right there we're going to get it back so we were justified not that everything else was not justified hashem was justified we were not but here maybe everything will come to uh to ahead hits the paro it's hadith that he understood there's some justification for the destruction of egypt because of the way they treated the jews right whether you're that smart or that spiritual that you could put it together measure for measure however it is we saw and i can read the verses because they're actually they're actually what quite beautiful verses that pharaoh himself would say let's see we have it here on my pay i think i put it on the page you see where it is it's number 10. see in number 10 pharaoh said pharaoh sent and summoned moses and aaron said to them this is chapter 9 verse 27 i have sinned at this time the lord is the righteous one and i and my people are the guilty ones and again in chapter 10 verse 16 pharaoh hastened to summon moses he said i have sinned against the lord your god and against you so there's some understanding within pharaoh whether it was conscious or or subconscious but when it came to the wealth this really he just couldn't get figured out so as the cleo cars explaining so that regarding the other plagues he was able to understand perhaps why that that these calamities came upon him lumber should be didn't not only but like if it affects us this is how we think right this is how they thought that it affects us negatively that means that the powers in heaven right these idols these philosophical ideas are destroyed whatever's above in heaven is also affected okay let's continue on but when it comes to money and i'll say something else money can drive people crazy and maybe this would lead to his downfall as we know like even like let's say when it came to uh hitler yamashima it wasn't money it was his desire to kill the jews that he took the the trains from the front line which he needed to send troops to instead using the trains to destroy the jews and this was part of i'm sure there were other issues why you know he he he lost woodward too but this is one of the things he caused himself here pharaoh was so concerned about the money hashaf para shalom veloba mishpat to not least that he could not fathom couldn't figure out and he thought there's no justification and there's certainly no justice this doesn't make sense that the jewish people took all that this money al came therefore what did god do he made sure to let this idol remain nishar about he allowed this particular idol to remain shiyamru that they themselves would say that the again inside the head of the egyptians kashya yurasam the yitbar minister that it was they that they thought they still had the power or their god still had the power and therefore would make a claim a rightful justified claim to get all the money back that the jews were lent now we understand even better in verse 5 which we will deal with at length but when in verse 5 it says the the ye love paro i'll tell you where that is found on the source sheet and we're looking for 14 5. [Applause] it's number 14. so it says over there it was reported to pharaoh that the people had fled and pharaoh and his servants and these these are the interesting words had a change of heart towards the people and this is what they said what have we done that we released israel from serving us now in hebrews okay that's the hebrew look at rashi at the bottom now they had a change of heart to pursue them the change of heart was in order for them to pursue us what caused their change of heart seeing that that bouts of phone was still there hashem was setting everything up he always does the truth will always come out in the end okay he orchestrates everything we we have hopefully not little faith we of faith believe and understand that hashem prepares all of our footsteps just like he prepares mine he prepares theirs the enemy everyone else in the world not that everyone else knows my enemy but let's read again rashi now they had a change of heart to pursue the israelites on what i got to hear the words on account of the money they had lent them specifically what changed their hearts why as we just said it was because of even though we're in 14 5 we're seeing it's all being orchestrated already in verse 2. okay now pay rush rashi rashi specifically says the clear car besides it's specifically what changed their hearts it was specifically based on the money that they had lent them and now we understand later on in the same verse now we don't have slaves today but the concept is that if a slave does own something or acquire something the owner really acquires it now what did they do what did they say well they let them go in fact they chased them out they were quite you know at their wit's end with us nevertheless they they released us from slavery and now they were having second thoughts what do they call that the freeing of slaves remorse because what would have happened they have all our this is what they're thinking they have all our gold if they were still our slaves whatever the slave acquires the mass requires now i feel the loss and that's that's the whole idea here so he brings down the murph sachin the fish rabbo that's just the principle that whatever the slave acquires that really it's the master of the slave that acquires right so the icard devara of hayabura mammon this whole idea that we're bringing down meaning not only that his heart was changed then this the servants of hearts were changed and they had this freedom of emancipation remorse the emancipation remorse um but also basically because about the phone this is all the prime the primacy of the message that in in pharaoh's words in in the text is all because of the money the tala para devara the masha roshinisha about south nicole eloheim bottom line and it is the bottom line it's the last line in this paragraph that paro put or made dependent his words from the fact that he saw that is that that israel is where they are but it says where they are by the bouncer phone that the bouts of phone remained from all of the other deities that the mitsra mitsurim believed in and this is what brought them to this point okay i want to focus now on um chapter 14 verse 5 and it says it was reported to pharaoh that the people had fled the people is the first time the people is being said in this verse we're going to see it's going to be said again and pharaoh and his servants had a change of heart towards the people second time it's unusual i mean this is the whole idea of knowing that there's a message here the fact that people's used twice has to have a message and not only that wait and they said what is this that we have done that we have released israel from serving us the third time that we the people is being used is twice as the people described as the people and the third time as israel okay now i want to go into the clear car and see first he's going to he's going to ask three really good questions i think they're very good questions would i have come up with these questions on my own i don't think so but maybe with enough time and enough study maybe so the first thing he points out is the word bo means fled past tense okay now that happened chapters ago okay we're in chapter 14 now so why are they coming and telling him now that they fled meaning they're fleeing isn't this the whole idea that now we we only sent them for a three-day journey and they're not they weren't fleeing per se in their minds they were going to do whatever they did in the desert for three days but they realized they're not coming back now they're fleeing so the cleocar says it could have said should have said that they're actually fleeing this is the information the new information coming to pharaoh right you always right we talked about this before we started learning is something not intuitive counterintuitive otherwise you don't need to learn it something known okay so it should have said they are fleeing now okay it doesn't mean in fact when they were originally sent it sounds like that you know we know that pharaoh said get out of here. so there's no fleeing when you're telling someone get right get you're not going to come and say oh they're fleeing or they fled okay so this already happened mirazono with their knowledge and will the akshath the truth is right now they're fleeing and that should have been the word used so the question is why did they come and inform him of something that happened barack as opposed to boria first question second question is why are they twice called the name or description the people will be in the third description israel for we have sent israel right using the word israel we already described that's a good question and the third one i don't know i'm going to say maybe this is the best of all but it's good to you see the whole idea what overtook pharaoh what filled his heart or went through his brain what affected his thoughts that he would send how many did he send chariots after 600 000 people i did the math for you it's not that hard but one um one how do you say it one tenth of one percent now that's if you use the slower number of six hundred thousand rea that was only six hundred thousand able capable men of war between the age of twenty and sixty but there were at least three million of us plus another six million error rob you know about nine million people you work out the math i worked it out for this for six hundred running after six hundred thousand what went through pharaoh's mind that he could overtake them that he would somehow have an effect with such a small army that's a good question so now after peace and emma even though the verse says the whole wrath of mitzrayim right he came with all the chariots of egypt did he really have all the chariots of egypt i bet there a lot of chariots didn't have any horses that they didn't take where did the horses come from where did the horses come from didn't all the animals die either the hail or pestilence and all these plagues so vada lomi kul eritz mitzrayan ki bates la fesha there's no way that this was before what's app this was before the internet this is before the telephone even okay this is a long time ago how could pharaoh have gathered all the chariots throughout the entire land of egypt in such a short period of time because we're talking about from the time they told him that they are they had fled or fleeing and they had fled until the time you got them after them was pretty much like within a few hours i imagine not much longer than that when it says lefisha means at the moment shalom obviously didn't have that much time to gather everyone together this is an interesting idea he took him from let's say the capital city um one particular city the capital of mid-s was a city by the name of egypt now this is going to sound very harsh what i'm about to tell you but the only animals that were left alive that he can strap up to the chariots were from those egyptians i'm going to say who were smart but that's not really true they were smart but who feared hashem you want to hear the craziest idea look in number 17 it's chapter it's exodus chapter 9 it's really i think it's verse 20 i think it's really verse 20. but let's read that 19-21 and this is what the command was for the egyptians and now send gather in your livestock and all that you have in the field any man or beast is found in the field not brought into the house the hell shall fall upon them and they will die so this is uh you know the warning about the the plague of hail and what does it say in the next verse meaning any egyptian who feared the word of the lord sorry he who feared the word of the lord of pharaoh's servants in other words any one of the pharaoh's servants who feared hashem drove his own servants and his livestock into the houses and you know what they weren't affected right but guess what he who did not pay attention to the word of the lord left his servants and his livestock in the field so where did those horses come from that came to attack us from the best of the egyptians i do want to show you this rashi on that verse uh no there is no i don't know why maybe i didn't bring it down but i will tell you the verse and look at number 16 where it says exodus chapter 14 verse 7 where it says he took 600 select chariots and all the chariots of egypt with officers over all them um let's read let's read the whole rashi and the all the chariots of egypt and with them all the rest of the chariots now here's a great question where did all these animals come from right you're all wondering weren't they all killed if you say they belong to the egyptians well guess what in chapter 9 verse 6 it says all the livestock of the egyptians died now if you say they belong to the jewish people right we said we're taking everything with us all our all our livestock with us so they didn't take them from us and it seems like all the egyptians uh livestock died so whose were they if this was the case and the answer is they belong to those who feared the word of the lord to those who drove their servants and their livestocks into the houses like we just quoted in chapter 9 verse 20. i would like to stop there i would just feel so comfortable stopping right there but i can't i feel that i have to just keep reading and and nobody should take this too personally right you have to understand why the jews are paranoid why we have reason to fear living in exile living amongst the non-jews and we love the bin inaugh we love the the non-jews who really are fearing the word of the lord but you got to take it one step further and listen to this ruby shimmers would say even the best of the egyptians even the best of them are your enemy basically okay that's really what it says that you cannot trust the the best of the non-jews well here it says the egyptians so i think we could make a real i think a jump that for sure gair toshaf right we don't have that today but those who mamish make a let's say a a public pledge that they side with the jewish people right that they believe in the mission of the jewish people and that they believe in the torah that was given to the jews in mount sinai and they will support the jews in their mission i i think they're not i know for sure they're not enemies i think that's what really separates between what this rashi here is describing is the egyptians because they're into idol worship and someone who has really abandoned the idol worship has taken upon themselves the seven misfite and i'm not you know basically obviously it's hard to say but you can trust them right yes to a certain extent yes certainly not as your enemy okay i want to move on so here we have the statement that these people were very few meaning that's how many were left 600 animals elevated but with absolute certainty ready for this any time the word ham is used who is the people whenever the word the people are used throughout tanakh throughout the the five books of moses excuse me we're talking about the the not the egyptians the non-jewish egyptians that joined with the jewish people when we left egypt and just to help you with a query that hope you'll have there's one verse that says we left in the middle of the night and there's another verse says we left the next day well it's there's a lot of answers one very simple answer can be we were freed at night but we didn't really find our freedom by leaving until the next day meaning we were released already at midnight but we only became free once we left but there's another answer the cleocard gives somewhere else and that is that the aravrov ran they actually did fled they fled they did fled they had fled they ran out of there as fast as they could at midnight we did not flee we walked out in the morning with our heads held up high okay keep that in mind because he's going to have to answer about the barack and baure what was it what were the people telling him about the fleeing had fled okay let's hear so we're talking about the word the people speaking about the mixed multitudes for those who know i didn't translate the mixed multitudes yes when they originally left they ran out of there why why did they join up with us because they truly truly truly believed in the god of israel no according to this lethe sharoba malachan shall yisrael they saw some kind of privilege or advantage of the jewish people and they wanted to join up with us so they weren't full-fledged converts then until maybe mount sinai or even maybe until later and maybe even some of them never i don't know but their motives were a little bit off let's say so what was pharaoh thinking he knows his people he knows his people he knows they're not really the most moral people that joined up with jewish people he said you know what i see right now the jewish people right israel is in the desert in a perplexed or confused state remember this is why he thought he could overtake us right he sees us maybe going in circles even so you know what he said yom ruehlevrav hashem this is what pharaoh is thinking that the arab rav must be thinking if the jewish people are walking around in circles or you know being a little bit of a in a perplexed state they probably are saying to themselves that god of israel they're just creating those 10 plagues and took them out maybe he's no longer with the jews maybe he left them and on account of this vaday wrote remember this is still inside the head of pharaoh i don't like being there it's a very dark space but this is what pharaoh must have been thinking that what that they're going to come back and join us remember what was the question why did you go with one tenth of one per what do you say one tenth of one percent because he thought i have a fifth column i already have would we say twice as many erefrov went out than the jews i don't need as soon as they see me as opposed to giving up on the jews they're going to join me they're going to be my i'll call it again i don't know if that's the appropriate word fifth column right they'll be on my side they're going to join back to me and come back to is to egypt israel okay this is just discipline but obviously the reason up until now that they didn't come back is because israel wasn't allowing them to go back but again this is still within pharaoh's mind but when they see me on the horizon when they see the egyptians 600 chariots coming to give them assistance we're there for them meanwhile i mean he really didn't care about his people but okay could have helped them after the first play after the second play but okay when they see me right coming to help them year madugam haimabi israel yeshua elenu they're certainly going to rebel against the jewish people and return back to us alzhez this is what pharaoh was relying on when he chased after the jewish people with such a small group of i call them warriors i mean you know i really want to just stop for one second because there's an important point like i failed to mention earlier in the previous paragraph i just want to stop here for a second to say when they saw the baltophone remain what they did was so amazing they went ahead and took the rest of the gold of egypt and beautified their horses you know you ever see the middle eastern horses they it's like uh like anyway i don't want to say but they they beautified their chariots they took all their gold thinking again that the last deity of egypt is this bouncer phone he's really going to assist us and we'll we'll serve him by bringing the gold into war with us as if that's what you would do what did that really accomplish we on the other side of the sea when when they were drowned and they came up they didn't come up alive but the gold washed aside to our side of the shore you follow like this is the way hashem where everything is so carefully planned out and it's all to our benefit now let's continue so we see they came with a very small amount of people now regarding this now we go back to the beginning of the verse the ugad lamella mitzrayim ki baaracham it was past tense and it was who told they told the king of egypt that the people had fled now if you read rashi on that rashi mentions that they must have had guards that went they were following the the israelites and when they realized that they were uh not coming back after three days that's when they went back to the palace to tell pharaoh the clear car he's saying something different and correct me if i'm wrong he says losses not that he sent along these guards that he found out they were that they had fled kidavar zello parish mamikra because that may be a midrash but apparently the clear car doesn't see it clearly in the verses ella so who got low but it was within the palace that people his servants his maybe his administrators started speaking to him and telling him the midstream that this is something that happened in the past meaning he's the reminding pharaoh that the arava left a few days ago in a rush hainu so no and this is a reason that pharaoh and his servants would hate the egyptians that left the the heir of ra the mixed multitudes that's then the akshaya but right now as we read the verse the ha they have what transformed right something transformed within the heart of pharaoh and his servants and it says right regarding the people so which people we're talking about the air of rav libo messina lava they hated them three days ago four days ago but now they have this love for the thereof because what were they saying akshaya vanitsaray clahem pharaoh is saying you know what i need them he's got nothing left he's got 600 horses that's it i'm going to turn them into the fifth column keep lisa fake how you know what without any doubt they're going to be a help to me they're going to be on my side israel because when they see that god has left the jewish people al-isra sorry regarding the jewish people themselves so he's already heard about the word being used for the arab but regarding the jewish people what did pharaoh say what is this that we have done that we have sent that we sent israel away from what away from serving us [Music] according to this mashinemar now up until now is all good i have to say i'm a little bit confused at this point because what he's doing he's referring back to a previous chapter something that he spoke about and i'll tell you briefly um now we understand when it says vehicle when pharaoh sent away the people remember we asked why is it used twice so earlier on he mentions that the word area of roth i'm just throwing out number 90 plus percent of the time it's strictly talking about the the mixed multitudes the non-jewish the egyptians that came along with us but unfortunately even within israel we have what we call inferior people what does that mean it means ignorant that means the hater of the rabbis the hater of truth the haters of wisdom okay that's what that's what is um the that is what the the um the inferior amongst the jewish people are so he just says as i mentioned in an earlier version it just brings us back to the idea of the the hebrew paro so that is the second time is used and he wants to clarify not all the time is used for the air of rav it's also unfortunately used for the israel american that they're also amongst the jews what we call the inferior ones and that means the ignoramuses the people who hate wisdom who are not interested at all in the truth and uh unfortunately we still have them around as well so he just mentions kamivor but they are shaney because in a previous verse he describes the two types of ha'am again mainly referring to the erev rav in like 90 plus percent of the times haam is used and sometimes it's referring to the pakuti the that means really the lowest the low the lowest of lows there are some such a thing and so anyway i want to wish everyone a geval to shabbos right it's blamish heir of tu bishvat right sunday night and um i just want to encourage everyone to keep coming back if you're enjoying it listen please comment in the comments below um also um just have a great life and keep coming back okay so we'll see you next week [Music] me
