Why should the Nations be afraid of Israel? by Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] okay welcome everybody we're attempting to decipher and really get into partial bow lock and according to the clea car of course so we're in chapter 22 of numbers and we're going to start with verse 2 and let me give you a little bit rundown in English these several verses we're going to talk about but I want you to pay attention that Israel is called by four different nouns they're write-ins you I don't know but grammar but if I was remarrying let hey say I would I'm gonna touch that up I would have used better sense so we want to know what God wanted us to learn when he says bow let the son of the sea for saw all that Israel that's the first time we called Israel had done to the amorite right in this verse record Israel he's no last week's parson it's true we had a war with the amorite true no I became very frightened because of the people number two so we called Israel will called the people because it was numerous and more was disgusted in the face of the children of Israel now were called the children of Israel before we were called Israel and then we recall harm the people and then we recall the children of Israel and the last verses were going to deal with more outset to the elders of Midian why was it going to me being fluent now the congregation recall the congregation will lick up the entire surrounding as an ox licks up the greenery of the field so really the first question the clear car wants to know is what did he see that he didn't see before meaning all this fear that's coming about what happened in Egypt 40 years earlier hey let me tell you something there were ten plagues if you didn't know that there was a splitting of the sea I mean there were miracles I don't know how many because the the gut it tells us somebody than 250 not just 10 all kinds of miracles and signs mothers were happening it was a real light show now what is it now that he saw that he didn't see earlier the question he asked like this hello nice a mix right now you could Olli Malin wasn't the great miracles that happened 40 years earlier even greater than just what happened in last week's Varsha Lama lo hit Boni Belton Catullus Leonor of the show so chef why wasn't he concentrating and focusing and contemplating what happened 39 40 years earlier than what just happened last week first question the second one he asked us kazakh reconnaissance red barber st. mos israel's mentioned to you by four names you saw it I circled it yes Royale the Jewish right Israel haha the people bid Navy Israel the children of Israel and kaha congregation haemophilia and he goes through the verses okay so we saw the verses we don't have to go through them but he says hello Baba who this is extremely unusual this never happens go through the whole Torah where do you see in two verses that were called four names did you know this is it right here so we're gonna have to examine why he says the explanation for the matter is beard our Kapoor Shammi Derek hold on you know how the world works that the Malacca Kings you know they have they have chronicles first of all most of them are either literate or have somebody in their chambers who are literate and they have a library that has all the inner workings of history they know the history so so Kings have safer deeper I mean some types of Chronicles a Sheryl of truth in color currency only rally which is within those chronicles are all of history of the their nation or the surrounding nations perhaps even of the world about jamón arm but the man says NW doing came Ahava the only thing that the mass is usually illiterate you are you aware that 99% of the world population for 99% of time has been illiterate absolutely the last 150 200 years maybe even three that it's been on the rise the Jewish people 99% of our history has been 99% literate not illiterate because there's a command in the torch to teach your son's Torah you have to learn Torah you have to teach it okay so the masses didn't know anything about except the present tense except what was going on my should remain am what they saw with their own eyes Rushmore me Pierce Mora was John the peshwa or what they heard from other people talking minima or Amman of whatever occurred during their days lofty kabbalah therefore bhaktas King shall hi I'm Ella he named me yummy Robin you pack a dead star Bashan sayako you know what he had in his chronicles this is going to blow you out of the water he knew what Yaakov did to scram you all know what happened in Chad our sister Dina got raped and we wanted them to be held accountable and they didn't want to be held accountable these these Hittites these Canaanites and they said no we have a better idea we want to marry you guys let me sit yeah right okay we have a plan for you so Shimon lav devised a plan you guys get circumcised yeah yeah we can't marry you if you're not circumcised so let's talk about that yeah yeah let's talk I'm gonna explain why it was correct but let's hold off on the judgement for now let's just go through the story and then we get to the judgment okay so what happens so she laid to go in there and wipe them out on the third day of the circumcision because it's a very hard time it's not an easy time physically so basically who really wiped them out human lady like the mountain was was shackled exactly happy was he happy with what they did for all practical purposes no he was not happy with what they did in fact he took away their status okay Shipman would have been King lady would have been the priest of course they got it back because later was given to you and then come I came back to them because they didn't involve themselves with the sin of the golden calf now you asked a very good question is it really right what they did do you know there's seven Noahide laws do you know one of those losses to set up a system of justice did you know that the violation of them North had law is death do you know that this whole city was well aware that their leader committed such an atrocious act and did not hold him accountable therefore according to many pinions this was extremely justified not I mean right the correct vision I understand it that's longer to tell you if you don't understand it yet it's fun can have the discussion later okay but there is an answer they made the others maybe you'll share yours okay so let's go back into the text so he knew what happened with Yakko but again the question begs itself what did y'all have to do with this listen to this when it says you sir L it means Yaakov yester al-sabah Israel our great-grandfather's okay when it says you supposed to been a strap AHA or the main strap or the other one what do we see that what Israel did to the amorite the one second key who higher rocky shahad he was just one man the main base OMA same man and miss Park and his family was very small numbered whatever they 1213 people I thought became and even though they were only 12 people meat sauce Amish Lima they wiped out an entire nation like it says now listen to these words if you look at chapter 48 in Genesis 22 which I think you'll find where this is Yaakov Zahn words okay but it says Israel said to Joseph that means Yaakov said to his son on his deathbed behold I'm going to die and God will be with you he will return you to the land of your forefathers I have given you one portion of your brothers now whether Joseph was deserving of a double portion is irrelevant he had two sons who became tribes so he wasn't the firstborn necessarily of Yaakov it's true he was the firstborn of Rachel with you who was young Gekkos true love but we're not going to go deep into the whole idea of how he ended up with a double portion but he says I'm giving to you one portion of your brothers which remember there's Menasha and a fry right which I took but this is the words that are important which I took from the hand of the amorite with my sword my bone Yaakov he was involved in the fighting no now the truth is if you look at Rashi on that whole event is not here but there was another idea that basically what happened was that all the nations were actually gathering up like steam because after the Shem was wiped out they were they knew they were going to be next or they don't think might have been next so they all got armed and Yaakov stepped in and either was politically involved or what's the word militarily involved that everything calmed down in other words don't mess with the Jews okay don't mess with the Jews so but he took he says I took from the hand of the amorite mean I took a bond away from them with my sworn in my BOB look at the Hebrew I share macaque to me I'm worried the Harby of the caste with mice word of my bow you want to hear this you're gonna be blown away Rashi says it's Fela it's a feeling it's prayer where's the Jews strength I know today the modern Zionist state wants to claim otherwise maybe it's in our power than our brains but no I mean it does say here Rashi says he's not from October to be locked up it was his brains and his prayers he had a good strategy but he pray now listen to these words I have to find my place again so according to the South in bubble Basra and page 123 a the explanation of what does it mean mice word of my bow it's a prayer now all this comes out great because what happened bow lock the king of Moab he saw what Israel Saba right our great-grandfather Yaakov did to the am writes with his the fever which is what Leticia Coco Co poppy which was the the power of the bow therefore you know what he did he went out of his way to seek somebody who also had the power of his mouth and who was that out came his childhood God king after a thought he also chased after somebody said God can cook up a thief who also had the power of I caught the gap the power of the mouth the Cockney amar now we understand when it says bollocks saw what did he see it doesn't say he heard he saw all that happened which was written down in the books of the Chronicles because that's what all the kings of the world had he saw with his own eyes what's written when you when you read you need eyes okay today yeah Braille what up we're not we're talking with the general way of reading is through looking with your eyes he saw was written and entered into his heart called cowardliness for fear and you knew he had act also be Shani makan memmio's Miata Muslim is for he said to himself oh my god if 12 people could wipe out an entire nation what's gonna happen when I have three million people standing in front of me in the desert right and we're going to discuss that number shortly three million yes 600,000 men between the age of 60 and 20 at 20 and 60 and you had their wives and you had their children and they had two older people no depth it was at least 200 a million people so he ceased its 12 people this little tribe of family could wipe out a whole nation what's gonna happen now that I'm standing there looking at 3 million people so he says my gosh who are tubby Oh Tom I'm Rob Watson with such a great and mighty people therefore it does not say that word B'nai Israel children of Israel it doesn't say the word harm the people and it doesn't say the congregation it says Israel because Israel is always Israel Saba it's referring to Jacob that's who's talking about now what about both so meaning the the masses of people they are Klaus hamona that's the general masses of people they didn't consider anything in the past remember they were illiterate they didn't have yesterday's newspaper they didn't have any newspaper name Internet they had nothing that what's up they had nothing okay so they couldn't think about yesterday kilo yoga mom they had no idea about Jacob and and that all that would happen the little pocket Okemah and all that the only thing they feared was what was in front of them at the moment and what did they see they saw a great mighty nation but remember the verse says they it says they saw the people because it was great they feared because of the people now who are the people wait to hear this you have to have a seatbelt for this one Masha Reuben am I'm Robertson that's what they saw a great multitude and the exact words are via garmo they are I'm Kira who that more grew very frightened because of the people because they were my tml two people there was masses hyah ha more time shall more the arab nation take it up now ready for this they were afraid because of two groups of people that were the desert that's us the Jewish people and there was another group with us who is that other group the mixed multitude he's going to bring them in measures tells us the mixed multitude was twice the amount that we were now if we were three million that means there was another six million it were total of nine million people and now you understand that what they were afraid of the Moab it says they were very pleasant the people which is the heir of Rob the mixed multitude who was even greater than we were in terms of the number listen to the words we said they were afraid because of two groups lowly easy care easy and neither group is exactly like each other why because they had they had a reason to be afraid of each one for different reasons Kamath mayor of rob one account of the mixed multitude the array mock miserably they were afraid because of the multitude this hang you have a better word milk to tea to the masses each of the measures just brought down to the medicine the militant partials bone that the error of higher state power mean shisha rebo that they were twice the amount of six hundred thousand okay so a million to miss dhamma most likely men between the age of 20 and 60 plus all their wives and children and whatnot and the older ones and regarding them regarding the air prophet says that moive grew very frank because of harm the people kirov who and now he says it color error up a shame harm the we always see anytime there are complaints in the desert it's the arm it's not its it's not B'nai Israel it's um it's the mixed multitudes that were the troublemakers kilo bonito hammer they were not the Jewish people then they all converted everyone converging outside but they technically weren't the Jewish people when they left Egypt Kira vu ki Robbie Hayman been met they really were a lot but when it comes to have been a Israel they weren't as much in comparison and relative to the air Rob Lowe your room may have meet several points so the mo I was not afraid of them from the aspect of a melt masses but from a different angle ready for this I'm not meet Sarah Syria loitering Australia it was from a different angle that they had the fear of Israel upon them and this is gonna freak you out when it says the yeah cats Laura MIT named me Israel that mo of was disgusted the name on account of because of the banana strap now we're gonna keep this in mind we're talking about mo of but the same word via cats the Acosta word coats means a thorn like a thorn in your eyes thorn in your side but this is it's not that we're gonna try to explain what doesn't mean they were disgusting and why don't we say they were a thorn in their eye even though that's what it seems to be saying it says the Econo ah and nor was disgusted because the children of Israel so we find that you go back to Exodus chapter 1 verse 12 it says about the Egyptians the ikutsu myth name in Israel that they were disgusted with Tomic Egyptians want to counter the Jewish people the next round don't explain don't tell me that it means the Jewish people were thorn in their side it may be true but that's not what the verse means don't explain it that they were like thorns in their eyes because if that would have been the case then it would have said that yet cut souvenir out that the nation were poking them so to speak so what does it mean on account of they were discussing on account of it says they were discussing on count of the Jewish people so it must be the opposite that really the mitzraim the Egyptians were comparing themselves to thorns in relative value to the Jewish people and that's what I said earlier we talked about thistles you ever go and maybe you haven't been to the farm but they call the western United States but if you also if you saw an old movie a Western they called them and a guy comes to town and there's it's a ghost town there's nobody there and all that's in town is tumbleweeds right you hear the silence and your little breeze and you see the grass and balls running down the streets that's all it's there is weeds that are disconnected are so dry that they've already disconnected from the ground right the crack that's what's that worth can you sell that on the market oh yeah I got a town full of tumbleweeds you know top real estate no the opposite it's worthless member will we went into Egypt I'm sorry well we sent our spies our spies sent themselves however you want to look at it these spies went in and you know what they said we were like grasshoppers in their eyes remember we spoke about that we are like grasshoppers in their eyes they come back and say everyone there's a giant because it's called the inferiority complex when you think of yourself as worth less worth nothing in the ISIS it's psychological right you're such a low self-esteem that you can't imagine you come to part so the Egyptians remember some of the Egyptians said this and we're gonna prove in a second but these are the words of the Egyptians now we're gonna compare it because the same words are used here there's no office saying the same thing listen to this we already said this verse earlier tonight when if they looked at themselves as weeds not dried out weeds how did they look at the Jews like Geffen like vineyards like a healthy plump fruit tree as it says we read this earlier in Psalms chapter 18 verse 9 and 10 which I think you could find number 3 it says get that maybe trying Tashia you cause the grapevine to travel out of Egypt chick garish going in the Tutera and you expelled the nations and planted it can meet telephone ah you uprooted it you cleared the path she tossed register a share you struck at its roots it's male RS and you filled the land with it the bow said that like the owner of feel totally Todd Caron beside the Malay culture he's intent he wants to put a vineyard in his field that's full of weeds ah sue I care clenching minish Irish he rips out the weeds from where the roots you don't want it to grow again you gotta get the roots otherwise you just take a weed whacker and clear the field you know what's gonna happen the weeds are gonna come back even stronger when my li from zero uh I don't once you get rid of the weeds then you could put the seeds cuz they'll eat them and come against it in order to put proper healthy plants in its place calculate your mission and this is what the Egyptians feared the Egyptians actually feared this just natural fear for them why she's arguing between bars forgotten that the Jewish people were planting themselves in the land of Egypt like grape vines this I have to tell you I don't talk about politics much but unfortunately and the the Jewish community in America won't last either it's bound to happen one way or another but we hope that they will leave before they get thrown out but because the jealousy of us being like gettin a healthy plant that's planting in listen to what the Egyptians said to themselves Kukoc muna : right let's not we didn't get there yet but if you go to Exodus chapter 1 verse 10 it says very cryptically because you don't hear the pronouns it says he said to his people this is pharaoh behold the people of the children of israel are mine numerous is stronger than we get ready let us deal shrewdly with them lest they increase in the war before us they join our enemy listen carefully wage were against us and depart from the land what would they care if you have an enemy who's waging war with you well maybe we'll and they leave is it aren't you happy wouldn't you be happy if they left they stop talking about the Jews leaving they dirt the natives to the land we take over and then they have to leave that's tragedy they listen to words again and will read the Rashi on that Pharaoh is worried that the Jewish people are increasing becoming a fifth column joining up with our enemies and wage were against us and depart from the lab but who to talk about themselves listen to Rashi and depart from the land against our will what do you mean against oh you mean because they were slaves and our phrase our slaves left but they just waged war against us a rabbis have were interpreted Pharaoh as a person who curses himself but his scribes has cursed to others and as and it is as if it were written we will depart from the land and they will take possession of it in other words what's the greatest tragedy for a nation to be displaced to be replaced by someone else if they would have waged war and then left they'll be fine leave but if they would wage war and be so successful and kick us out that would be a tragedy and that's what it's talking about because that's how they sell they are like weeds tumbleweeds will you do with weeds you get rid of them the Geffen takes a healthy planting okay so that's what it says now we understand what it says the accoutrement name that they felt disgusted on account of or because of the children of Israel you know what they felt like you ever go on a picnic take a blanket whether it's on the beach where they're saying you have to get rid of the sand when you fold up your blanket they felt worthless a piece of sand or like a piece of weed that was you know you go and still in a nice green grass you're still gonna get on the blanket some pieces of weed and grass then you shake it up that's how they felt that that's the value that they had for themselves in respect to us because they considered us to be Geffen and therefore when it says the attachment is probably they were disgusted they were afraid less that'll be more off would be thrown away like a weed from the land because the Geffen would come and be replanted by Hashem who took us out of Egypt and divorced or exiled the people the seven came nine nations who were there before us and plant us in their place that's why it says didn't a Israel not Sabah he's no longer around he's already in the world to come and his children are coming and it does but not the Arab listen the air mouth came in but it wasn't because of any merit that they had remember Star Trek the Klingons like what kind of name is a Klingon it's a parasite a Klingon so the the path person the the error of the BIG's multitudes only left Egypt on our backs and they only answered the Land of Israel on our backs it's because of us they joined up so they didn't enter the land on their own merits that's why they're called haha and their arms not being used here but it's been named Israel now we want to know what's the great value that they had what other nation got to live in the Land of Israel only the Jewish people and the air problem so what great merit did they have to get into the land it's only because of the parasitic nature it was on our backs and now we're in the homestretch so now it says afterwards it says that Moab said to the elders of Midian this is going blow you guys away they said to the elders of Midian write them back I'm sorry Mora the whole mob went to their Midian like what are they getting Midian involved what do you mean meeting about the truth is it wasn't minions fight but you know what you get allies you you want to have an ally you need assistance you're going up against the Jewish people so they find other like-minded people so they went and they said these words no offset to the elders immediate now the congregation that's the one the word the congregation Kyle's being used are gonna link us up like an ox guess what Yosef is called kaha and he is also referred to as an ox I'm gonna see it shortly this is the homestretch what the median see row have begun in my consulate I bear are rid of Lola head what exactly did the Midianite see to somehow conceive of getting in a fight that wasn't theirs so Rashi explains if you go to numbers 31 verse 6 it specifically says when we went up against the Midianites God says the Jewish people should go out Oh table this pin class right you and pick us take Texas with you why Pincus Rashi says over there to take revenge for the sale of Yosef to take revenge because now businesses and we haven't moved out here in the notes this is one page to see the verse 5 chapter I'm sorry yes or sheet number five one verse two page to source sheet number that the source number five so Moses sent them thousands from each tribe to garment along with Pinkus why would he send pinkness to the fight against the and the the Midianites right says Oh Thomas pitless because when I highlighted here another interpretation he sought the vengeance of Joseph who's his maternal grandfather we know pindalest a Kuwait he comes from the lazy family nevertheless when his mother's side meaning his maternal grandfather Julius father's mother right we know that what how do we know the fact that pincus's mother's was descended from Yosef because it says Eleazar the son of Aaron took himself one of those daughters of Pootie out okay maybe I highlighted the wrong thing so Eleazar is the son of our own okay I don't know what I did here the point here was that here it is Exodus you go to Exodus 625 but that's why that's why I brought this down then Eleazar son of Ireland took himself one of the daughters of pootie Elza wife she bore him Pintrest okay and these are the heads of the Levites recording through their families and then you have to turn the page number three so what is Rashi say over there one of the daughters of put the L of the seed of Jethro and fattened the cancer idolatry and Rashi says there he was also a seed of Joseph who defiled and fought against his passion when he was tempted by Potiphar's wife so we're talking about pit cos being from his mother his father's mother side from from Midian because who is who is Jethro Jethro was a Midianite so on what level you say what is Pincus the Midianite taking revenge against the Midianites but he was taking revenge for Joseph who was sold to me look at this look what it says here look in Genesis 36 37 verse 36 it says Muhammad Muhammad onni matos philipot a fire that would be found that's number six on on page three the mid evening Midianites sold him to Egypt we're talking about the salad Yossi so who else would be upset to take revenge so there's this whole idea of kaha which we're gonna see in a second whose how do I know that Yosef is called Kyle look where it says in Genesis again it's still 37 but it's verse 35 I'm sorry it's chapter 35 verse boy oh boy you that when ya look at number 7 God said to him I am the Almighty God be fruitful and multiply and nation and a multitude of nations succumbing distance from you and Kings shall come forth from your loins so going going this is talking to Yaakov so this Rashi says a nation and a oh those nations see in the middle it's throwing out minashi enough Ryan who would destined standard a from Yosef okay so that's what going we're talking about the B'nai Yosef so Rashi explained that over there scumbag Yosef therefore what did moths say to the elders of Midian that also you you have to be afraid because of the cob notice mo of was trying to get an ally and say Midian if you don't join up with us now they're gonna get you later you might as well join us now while we're still around and more numbers can fight the Jewish people because eventually they're gonna get you because your ancestors sold the Midianites sold Yosa stole Joseph so we're talking about his own progeny would come eventually to take revenge and not only that but to describe this kaha in other words when lo of comes and tries to convince they use already a language how meaning we know you sold Yosef kaha your friend to Joseph's children who's gonna take revenge and we know that Yosef is the Ox whose call the first four knots okay so that's why the language here is now they will lick you up lick you up that's the word then the congregation will lick you up all surrounding like the way that an ox licks up and that's the it's a beautiful explanation here B'nai Yosef before sure I know that the children of the osa for the firstborn ox that's why it mentions they will lick them up like an ox could they Leacock Nick massage or in order to take out revenge as to sure would do [Music]
