You Shall Reign Supreme with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

anybody [Music] everybody welcome back to the ebony big midrash a warm welcome a warm welcome back to Torah home to Torah and we are in the we're using the Clear Car to explain the verses in numbers but midbar chapter one verses one through three basically now this is really part two so down below we will give you a link to a previous class um so I encourage you to look not just at the video but the source material even for this class you'll have to find through a link that gives you another link but you'll find it right where there's a will there's a way now just as a I want to give over a brief summary of that piece anyway because it's necessary for those who won't be able to look at it but I want to mention today is your mushalayim now there's some really important dates in modern history aside from the Declaration of Independence that was read Yom hats mute which just passed by is kofte November when the United Nations took a vote that was huge believe me because the United Nations never votes in favor of Israel and that particular time they did and kiilu granted us a state or the you know obviously it's coming from Hashem but they were the tools in the toolbox at the moment at that time is which is tonight tomorrow and we're celebrating what and maybe it's not so PC to say it but we're we're celebrating the con the conquest or the reconquest of yerushalayim during The Six Day War and um the number is going to come up in the brief introduction and that is if you notice in verse 1 that God spoke to Moshe in the Sinai desert it says he spoke to him from the Ohio it's important the mem and it was on the first day of the second month in the second year so it was the first day of the ER that this census is being taken and then the truth is we're going to deal with verse two later on in the in in the uh in this class but it's important to note that this um actually you know it will start take the sum of the all the congregation of the children of Israel by their families following their father's houses a headcount of every male according to the number of their names so the word Israel so there's an accounting the word we're going to be dealing with a lot in tonight's class obviously this idea of counting more than once over and over again Rashi mentions over there because the Jewish people are so dear and beloved by Hashem and I think that's true by anybody anything that you own that you consider to be dear you kind of count over and over again you know you're constantly looking it over if it's a a um what's the word a collection you know a special collection you know you like to look at every now and then you take it out and examine it um so that's very important now what the clear car originally did the part we're not doing and I'm just giving a brief is that he quotes the clear card quotes what says in in vayikra alephalith in Leviticus 1 1 where it says that God spoke to Moses from the tent of meeting here in our Parsha he's speaking to him in the tenton meeting so in the Hebrew it says very clearly the Clear Car wants to explain if you just go back to Exodus chapter 40 verse 35 well Moses couldn't enter inside the tent of meeting because it was a Cloud of Glory that filled the mishkan but that was true on the first of that was true on the first of of Nissan but now it's 30 days later which is important 30 days later the first of the ER he's able to go in and God speaks to him within the tent of meeting and the whole reason is ready for this I would say drum roll at this point there you go and that is because it's necessary to have 600 000 minimum Jews in order for the presence of God to fully rest in a permanent fashion so basically what it comes down to ready for this how did why was it necessary to count remember there were six hundred thousand Jews that left Egypt we had six hundred and three thousand at this point and three thousand had died in the in the Sin of the ego the the uh the sin of the of the golden calf well if you didn't have that amount that's 600 000 you may not be able to have the screen of rest so that was necessary but I'm going to give you really quick the clear card explains that you need just for each okay there were seven clouds on each side of the encampment so you had three tribes on each side you had that's four sides and you had seven clouds each Cloud represented 22 000 people how do you know minimum 22 000 people so I'll just give you a few verses right we know that lady was twenty two thousand if you look in numbers three verse 39 go to Psalm 68 18 where it says God's Chariot is twice ten thousand times thousands of Angels the Lord was among them at Sinai in his Holiness Rashi explains that I'll tell you where a Numbers chapter 10 verse 36 it's a famous verse Israel when the ark would come to rest he would say reposo Israel among the myriads of thousands of Israel myriads is plural for ten thousands and the word thousands is plural for two for two two thousand and Rashi says there this teaches us the divine presence does not rest on Israel if they know if they number fewer than 22 000. so the 22 000 times 28 comes out to 616 000. so that's you need a minimum 600 000 but the number 28 also pops up so not only do you have the 600 000 but there's 28 units for the Clouds Of Glory to rest on and like I said the 28th of ER is Yom yerushalayim now what is the word the number 28 is a number it's not just right and every number has a letter so it's which means power but it only it doesn't only mean power and strength it also means potential and abilities so this is like a in a certain sense the potential and the ability is coming to fruition on the 28th of er this whole census is taking place in ER okay so I thought that was a a good way to mix those two ideas number one yamushalayim and how powerful it is number two the brief we're going to now begin Anew from and I passed out page two to you guys hey okay as I mentioned this is really part two and we're starting in the middle it says that this census is taking place when on the first day of the second month of the second year and the clear car says it's necessary to write the number the date why is a date necessary wait till you hear this now I have a copy I'm sorry I'm actually you have it too it's partly it's it's number 15 on page four you don't have the whole thing you just have the end of it I'll start reading um it mentions that but then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert take a census of the whole congregation now he mentions this metrish mentions this is related to Psalms 147 verse 20. he has not done so for any nation and they do not know his laws Hallelujah by the way that's one of the proof texts used that non-jews should not be learning Torah in its entirety only what they need to know okay because it says God has not done so for any other Nation they do not know his laws then it says this situation is comparable to a King who took his first wife and did not write her a marriage contract he divorced her he didn't give her a bill of divorce meaning he owed her nothing the marriage contract is in IOU it's this is like women's rights 101 a woman gets a a contract in advance that if there's a divorce she will be paid he did the same for the second and the third but you know what in due time he finds a woman a certain poor orphan but a woman a very good character he wanted to marry her so he said to his best men I want to marry this one but no I'm not going to act like I did with the previous wives I'm gonna right I'm going to um I'm going to give her a contract a wedding contract with the dates in which week in the year and the month which took place now this is compared to Israel for some reason because Israel gets this marriage contract with the date so he said the I'm skipping a little bit in the medrish however when Israel Rose the Holy One blessed me he said to Moses I will not behave with these as I did with the previous ones whoever Hashem had a relationship with as these are the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob that's who the Jews are therefore it is written in which month which day of the month and which year in which era in which province I raised up their horn and gave them a held a head held high we're going to deal with this shortly so the clear card Begins by telling Usha it's compared it's an analogy to a King the married woman lokita he didn't write to her katum and then we saw he married a few more still didn't write air katuba therefore when they get divorced they get nothing but sometime in the future he found a very uh a poor woman of good quality the cut of LA katuba but he did write a marriage contract and what's the important part the cut of lazman he wrote the time now let me just give you some a background why is it important to put a date into a katuba so for civil matters if what happens is when the man marries the woman all his property it's like remember he's writing an IOU if we ever get divorced so she has an automatic claim to his property if they get divorced so if he sold the property before they get married she has no claim if he sold the property after they got married well guess what title insurance should have found that there's already a lien the lien is the woman's marriage contract he has no right to sell it to the third party and the third party has to return it because it was a we call it a mechach it was it was uh it was an illegal or however you want to call it it was an improper sale okay because there's a lien to the wife so this is going to play a very important role as we'll see later when the Jewish people come into land of Israel the land of Israel belongs to us very important not just today but for all ages and that if we were ever exiled whoever came to live here could say later well it's mine but we have the dated contract that goes back 3 000 to 400 years okay so this is the way the the analogy is used but it's going further than that because he mentioned see another madrish in the yoga shimoni where he says like this [Music] the in the opinion the thoughts behind the author of a particular madrish is the very day which we're going to call shavuis was the day of the betrothal of the Jewish people to karishbargo we are married to God our races Israel God married the Jewish people I should say a race means to be betrothed he was engaged to us how through the Torah which is the ketuba which is the marriage contract now how do we know this well first of all we know this because this is our tradition but there's a verse in Deuteronomy chapter 33 verse 4. and that you'll find number 17 on the English story she it says the Torah was commanded uh the Moses sorry the Torah that Moses commanded us is a legacy I don't really like that translation it was a inheritance or a Heritage for the congregation of Jacob okay so there's some kind of property being transferred over a legacy great but inheritance because that's what the word Shah means like in inheritance however the way the Gomorrah explains it in brachos do I have it here uh Broca's 57a we understand the word Mo Russia as well let's see that let's read the Hebrew again Torah sivalana Moshe Mo Russia keyless yaakov what we're going to see is the word it doesn't say liyakov it says what that does if I can try to explain it correctly and he'll he'll say it himself first of all the word Shah is understood ASA which means betrothed so one is a noun and one's a verb if it was a noun and it's given over to yaakov then the lambid would make sense but if it's a verb it's happening to kahilis yaakov then you don't put a llama there and that's exactly where he explains it Taylor you should know that the word look yaakov is not written that's the Torah does not use a lamid to explain a noun which is an object being given over to the Jewish people which makes it a verb and the verb morasa engaged that's why that's how we read it mashma what does this infer Shakila yaakov him that the congregation of Jacob was engaged was married you know there's two steps it's the first step of marriage was engaged which means she would need to get uh to the um because God gave to her the kala that's us the Jewish people he gave to her the Torah bimkom tabushin meaning in place of the wedding rings was the the Torah itself meaning the Ten Commandments and whatnot just like it says now go to Isaiah chapter 54 verse 5. it says now I don't really like the English translation here either but we'll go with it for your master is your maker who's your master the Lord of hosts is his name and your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel shall be called the God of all the earth now in Hebrew you can call the word master I don't have a problem that much with the translation I would rather translate it as the word Baal means your husband I think that's why they call husbands mister I I it's just a guess I'm probably not that far off but Mr Master sounds too much alike but it's right it's really like this for your your husband is your maker so this shows us Isaiah is explaining how we are married to karishbarako and we also find him ready for this that the way that Hashem married us is very similar to the way things happen here on Earth he says that this analogy of a coupling of a matching between the Jewish people and God is very similar that's why it's an analogy to a zivue a matching a coupling up of a bride to her groom with two time periods so those two time periods one is going to be a betrothal and then x amount of time later will be the actual wedding ceremony okay so he said the first time would be bishas at the time the Torah was given and that would be shavuis now look in chat in Exodus chapter 31 verse 18. when he had finished speaking with him and Mount Sinai he gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony stone tablets written with the Finger of God the ye ten almosha now look at that word kakaloto means when he finished now there is above missing okay and so Rashi explains [Applause] halfway down if you go to already Page Six it says right we know that the mishkan was erected on the first of Nissan just to show you explaining that the tour is not in order but anyway the word should be spelled kalota with above however because it's spelled defectively defectively means it's just missing the valve without the first love it can actually be read like his bride like his bride he gave over the Ten Commandments like or in place of the wedding ring to his bride for the Torah was delivered to him to Moses as a gift just like as a bride is given to the bridegroom because because otherwise this is like the gift there's no way Moses could have learned the entire Torah in such a short period of time so he's just explaining how it's a gift but the main point here is the word kaloto with the vov another explanation and this is important to remember that just as a bride is adorned with 24 ornaments okay we're going to see later on actually in Isaiah chapter 3 verses 18-22 we'll read it later when we get to it um there there are these description of dowry that is given to a bride we'll get to it so too what's the lesson we're on page six near the top Rashi the last few lines so to a Torah scholar must be adorned adorned with the 24 books of scriptures meaning that that person should possess the knowledge of the entire scripture and there are 24 books when you count the five books of Moses till the end of Chronicles if you take the 12 what they call Minor Prophets and put them into one book so you get 24 altogether there might be other ways to count but that's important by the way there was I think a a ancient Bible that was found the oldest written text Bible almost complete and I think it sold for 38 million dollars and the uh it's sold as the 24 books of the Torah that was the uh the title was given okay so now like we just read the Italian Al Moshe kakoloto in Exodus 34 18 the word kalot is missing above it's missing the verb so what is the lesson here that the Torah was given over like a Kala who ends up getting adorned festooned right with 24 sparring we are the kala we receive the Torah which is full of 24 books which is just like the 24 pieces of jewelry or gifts that are given as a dowry to a bride now that's the first date that would be chivalus in Sivan takes place in Sivan and the second date Hashem which goes back to the first day the mishkan was erected which is which is yomashimidi by the way right it's the eighth day of this eight day inauguration and um let me just I'm going to jump to the the get-go here get to the point you know when we all participated with our donations to build this house in which God would dwell his presence it's our house too because we paid for it so we're like the kala who's living with the Hassan in the house together okay just keep that in mind even if you're not living you're not sleeping in the basement or in the mishkan but it's your house and you come to be seen and to see Hashem and to be good ified with God okay so the second day is the Yom hanukas Hamish gun and where do we see this he actually brings from Batman chapter 7 verse one the same idea of Kala is used even though the word it means finished just like we say on Friday night and God finished creating the heavens and the Earth just like we saw in that previous verse which was in Exodus 31 18 when he had finished speaking with him okay so to here it says and it was on that day that Moses finished erecting the mishkan the hebayom at the mishkan um now this clear car if you go down about six lines it says Heidenheim believes that the choice of the word kalot which yes the root itself is quite ambiguous ambiguous because it does include both meanings meaning of finished but also the meaning of the kala meaning both um the idea of nuptials I want you to go down now to the bottom on that day that Moses finished erecting it does not say on the day he erected which teaches us throughout the seven days of the investitures meaning these were the days of miloem where he only put it together the mishkan and then dismantled it on the last day he erected it but he did not dismantle it that's why it says Moses finished erecting he left it and therefore that finishing of the erecting left it like a house in which to live now just keep in mind in Jewish marriage right the wedding ceremony involves somehow represents like the house that the future couple will build with all four sides open so they can have guests right that's a very nice thing to do and um but it's like it's like your home now the the the star name they bring a Talus to the hopa and then wrap both the husband and wife put over them and that's like the the ashkenazim they go to room after the so everyone believes you have to have you could to somehow just they just have a different definition of what that is in order to consummate the marriage there has to be some kind of a living together this idea of living together which is going to be very important to what we're about to say so we just got finished reading that verse chapter 7 1 in numbers Parish Rashi what does Rashi says that on that day that the mishkan the the Tabernacle was built the Jewish people were as if they were handed over they were transferred into the possession of Hashem just like the way are now living together what do we hear from this that Martin Torah was Mani russin so we have the time of the erusim which is the betrothal took place on shavuis and I'm going to tell you who knows how many months later it's 10 months later why 10 that's a strange number right but happens to be 10 months later the the first of Nissan comes and we're living together we're we're now sharing a dwelling place together now there is a statement in Isaiah chapter 54 verse 13. 54 13 it's 44 44 13. so it's really the last few words but the carpenter stretched out a line he beautifies it with a saw he fixes with the planes he fixes it with planes and with a compass rounds it and he made it in the likeness of a man like the beauty of man to sit in the house get to Ferris Adam Le chevis bias well who does a man sit in the house with none other than Rashi brings it down what does it mean the beauty of a man everybody knows men are not as beautiful as women what does it mean the beauty of a man that is the woman who is the beauty of her husband okay I couldn't have said it better I'm not even going to try well I will give it one attempt right that we call them the better half you've heard that expression okay so yes what really makes the man right is the not the beauty not necessarily the outside Beauty I'm not dismissing that but it's the inner beauty that's really going to make the man okay so let's continue that's the last thing we read and now the clear car says it should be understood from that expression we said nimsaru means to be handed over transferred over ready the highness to be living in one house together now we're talking about two different time periods one was which was the betrothal aerusin and the second time period was the first of Nissan which is the hukama mishkan he says it's 10 months again what's 10 months so guess what look in Genesis 24 55 that when Eliezer went to find Rifka to bring back to Yitzhak Abraham's son there was some what's the word hesitation to let her go and the reason why we'll see in a second and her brother and her mother said let the maiden stay with us a year or 10 months I want you to know in Hebrew does not say a year or 10 months it doesn't say that well we'll see what it says and afterwards she will go first Rashi mentions that the word for let's say the Hebrew time to let her stay with us yamim yummy means days or tens what does that mean Rashi says the word yummy means a year we'll see in a second why there's a few other verses if you go to Leviticus 25 the verse actually speaks about a world city that if you sold your house within a world City so after a year it's not redeemable but within the year you still have a time to remain redeem it and the word yummim is used I don't have it here so I have to look it up and Leviticus 25 okay if a man shall sell a resident's house in a walled City the Redemption complaints can take place until the end of the year of its sale and in the Hebrew it actually says at 20 million we said um yummy now you said there's another verse where is it did you find it okay so I have another verse go to Exodus 13 10. this is in the film by the way we have four different partial in the villain two of them are in the Shema the other two most see Durham have it in the beginning of shankaries but many people are not familiar with it so in Exodus 13 let's see 13 10. I accidentally and I'm going to tell you why this is important to me right you shall be where is it you shall be you shall observe this decree as it is designated from year to year this is referring to the the pesach offering and the whole ritual surrounding the Seder Knight the reason why this stands out so much to me I know this verse almost that my first pair of to to fill in I found after I had it checked was puzzle because one of the goods was missing in this verse that was in its villain anyway Baruch Hashem that was my first pair and I had it uh it was a way to fix it it's not it's not easy to fix the film it's much more complicated okay but that's not for tonight so you see that the word yummy could mean years we have a few examples and then there's um there's a Rashi on this so we didn't finish the Rashi look at 23 again the second part of the Rashi is well for a maiden is granted a period of 12 months to outfit herself with ornaments just keep that in mind because we're going to see something and shortly but then it says or 10. meaning 10 months 10 means 10 months why if you say yummy means years and then what could the possibility of Esser mean ready for this if you're bargaining with somebody right Jews are good at bargaining and you can't get what you want you're going to ask for more you're going to ask for Less so once yummy means years s there has to mean months huh because if you're asking in a deal for a whole year and they said that's too long so you're gonna ask for Less and it happens to be that that 10 months was the custom at the time like we just saw either one year or ten months and that's how and that's why um you know let's look at Rashi again if you say that yamim is to be understood literally as days well it's not customary for people to make requests of the small thing and then if the person's unwilling well give me more rather the other way around if you're not willing to give me that much so give me less so that's why yummy year then you have the word Esser which means 10 months as opposed to something more like 10 years so the last thing we just said was in the meanwhile there were 10 months and the the verse we used in Genesis 24 55 so what does that mean hainu asara hadashim that's 10 months that's how much time they gave to and I'm going to use the word meaning a very young girl obviously means a virgin but we're going to see later on a very important Source how the younger girls under 12 and a half were given the 10 months well let's just say like given more time and the ones that were given the ones that were over 12 and a half were only given 30 days meaning before between the tanoium the original betrothal until the wedding and we'll talk about in a second so he says that the 10 months were given to the younger girls meaning the The Virgins the time between the arusian and the Nissan between betrotho and the wedding meaning to in order to Adorn themselves or to student themselves with the 24 different types of ornaments that's mentioned in Isaiah I mentioned chapter 3 verse 24. I didn't even bring the Hebrews just too lengthy but in the English chapter 3 18 on that day the Lord shall remove the glory of the shoes and the embroidered headdresses and the hair nets necklaces and the bracelets and the veils the Tiaras and the foot chains and the hair ribbons and the clasps and the earrings the fingerings and the nose rings on and on and on Rashi mentions there's different ways to look at this that in the future that those things are called distractions they're vanities and therefore to be removed and we'll be able to have things see things clearly okay that's one way to look at it and that's the way we'll choose to look at it for now so these are the things that we're normally given to a bride the Dowry now today in order to lahad Moose God the way this world was created mirrors the world above so don't think it's the other way around that God is mimicking us right but he wants to make sure that everything's in tune with ever goes on in heaven goes on here on Earth and therefore there are Customs right there are different kinds of Customs between these two times first there's a betrothal then there's a uh then there's a um the actual wedding so too Hashem wanted to make our wedding with him very similar to the way it's down here so therefore higbeau that's why God Limited the also the time that Israel should be in you know for this time between the betrothal which we started by saying and then the first of Nissan which is exactly 10 months so he says let's just assume we're talking about just to round it off it's the month of Sivan that's when we became in in betrothed with the Torah I share receive a lot of motion which Moses commanded us Nissan until the building of the mishkan the final erection of the Michigan which that um completed right once the mishkan was built that completed the matching up of us with God in Every Which Way entirely and that's because kibis Manza yet cash to Israel Safari as we mentioned the Bible itself that's what we call the Tanakh has 24 books when we took them we talked how you Roy and then we were fitting to dwell in the omoa IM meaning both of us us and God and going back to the original question when God spoke to Moses it was from the omoid on the first of Nissan but once the first VR hit then he spoke to him in the old mine and which we spoke about this 30-day period that's in the previous um that was in the previous class but nevertheless he brings it up again Le Fishman now I wondered to myself what are they talking about in Hawaii what 30 days is there if anybody has a good a better answer than I found please put in the comments but first of all if somebody if a man is now an almana A Widow a widower widower whatever so then he should wait 30 days before he gets remarried but that's not what it's talking about he says since the time of marriage is only 30 days therefore nimshaco therefore from the first of Nisan until the first of er that's how long it takes to get married so look at number 25 there's a website happens to be a Chabad website if this one is all in Hebrew and he mentions it's worthwhile mentioning at the time of the mishnah how you know how that the normal weight period was 30 days from the time of the betroth until the actual wedding in order that the college should prepare herself with all kinds of ornaments in order to gr you know to be met at the Hasina of course she's going to be decked out and looking great now in parentheses he says this is only this idea of the 30 days is um he mentions this is only if the wedding was to a younger girl now if the wedding was to a younger girl lithnay gilchemistry Vashon of the khatsi if she was less than 12 years and a half old I know she was man Aruba they would give her a whole year and this is because the older you are dark meaning that the one once the woman becomes an old maid at 13 right she's already gathered all the stuff so she could get married in 30 days it's the Betula it was the Virgin it was the the young with I'm saying it's a younger girl in this case where you would want to have the longer period of time to prepare her for and that's what he says can you do us she saw him everyone knows that you should get married around that age anyway let me know she knew by the time she hits 12 and a half she's uh fitting to get married obviously these are not um the the ages that we are familiar with now what the clear car is going to do now he's going to change gears a little bit and I just want to mention that we spoke about the 10 months is from shravus which is in Sivan until when until the first of Nissan the who come in Michigan but if you take you know you take another calendar and just move it over one month so you're going to use the tamus date and you're going to use an ER date you're still going to come out to 10 months so he changes the thought process and he says you know what aim tear to limnos minutos if you want to start counting these 10 months from yeten almosha kaloto maybe that's not when Mo when Moses gate was received the tablets maybe it was not on chivalus itself but it was on the 17th of tamus when he came down and he he broke the tablets but that's the date that he received the tablets meaning right it was 40 days after 40 days after shavuis he comes down with the Lucas of course they break then if you're going to use that as a starting date because that's how you want to read the verse then it comes out perfect our census is taking place on the first of ER so that would be 10 months right it's one month after Nissan right everything was switched over a month because as we said that's when the the marriage was complete the curse of La Hashem katuba and that's why that's when God wrote the marriage contract laid the maazes Man tear Tov tit Roth as I mentioned before that when a woman gets married this katube is an IOU all of his property then becomes it's an IOU to her and she's first claims okay so this is important to write a date in order to it really means to confuse or be able to tear out from any future purchasers because then it becomes leaned on through the katuba artzo Shiva um what land is that the very land of Israel as I mentioned if we were ever going to be exiled in the future and a bunch of other people come in and say we were here before you Jews we say no look it was given to us 3 300 years ago we have uh katuba it's our land we have a lien on this land it belongs to us and we have a claim to the land okay that's literally what he's saying here that if we would ever sin and then removed yugalu means exiled from the land Yahoo we could come back and take it right velitrov miyada I'm actually take by force from their hands and say them that the date in our document the katuba is before you there you go and that's why it says inside the tent when God spoke to Moses in the first of er he spoke to um not like it said in moate because that's the time the married couple right the for the for the wedding to take place to dwell in the house we already said that means the wife right we compared Israel to the wife let's find it's number 26. 26b it's it's number 26 and it's Tinus 26b and this verse if you want to look at the verse it's actually on page eight the top song of songs chapter 311 go out o Daughters of Zion and gaze upon King Solomon upon the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his nuptials and on the day of the joy of his heart so in terms of the Hebrew we're focusing on the word right that his mother was last words mean on the day of his nuptials and on the day of the joy of his heart the very bottom of RA she mentions that the day the giving of the Torah when they crowned him King for themselves and accepted his Yoko about Hashem that was the day of the nuptials very clear Rashi is mentioning that is the giving of the Torah that's when the the um the um that was the first part and then when it says on the day of his heart this refers to the eighth day of the inauguration when the Tabernacle in the desert was dedicated meaning these are joyous occasions as if there was a wedding taking place so now go back to the Clear Car when he brings down the verse and sure shirim he says or according to the second theory it's the 70th of tamus and in the on the day the joy of his heart so we can read it as Binion Hamish Khan or for anyway because he built the base of miktash this verse is also referring to him and going back to the idea kibish that during these two time periods that's where the coupling The Mating between Hashem and the Jewish people takes place and that's why it says from the time we explained earlier and that's all passed now in order for this coupling this matching up of us and God to be similar to the way get matched up so I just wonder what the word and the word Su to count I mean how who says means count means raise up their heads of the binay Israel go back to our original verse but you don't have it on your sheets but on um if you want to look in numbers one chapter one verse two take the sum of the congregation of Israel so who can also mean to take to raise up but it says to take up the heads to raise up the heads that's the language we're using for counting very strange so the measure says and I actually have it here you look on page number 28. okay this is kind of like I wanna quote First the verse that he's quoting for us and that you'll find on page nine uh chapter 29 11 and First Chronicles very end you are he who exalted over everything as the leader in Hebrew rosh you are the one who looks see the words it's almost like Natsu at what would you say the word says um I lost my place one second and right to raise the head or count the count their heads count them according to their heads so one second so we're looking at this verse it means that Hashem is exalted over everything that's literally what he means look at the Rashi as we said in first Chronicles 29 11 so you are healings exalted over everything as the leader right in the Hebrew called La Roche that Rashi seems to explain that when the Earthly King appoints a superintendent to be in a high position and he might even have more power than the actual King but when it comes to the king of kings and that's what we call him right the King of Kings there's no there's never anything that could ever be more powerful than God and God is ultimately the ultimate in Supreme now wait do you hear what the clear card is going to say that God made us the same way when it comes to the rest of the world okay now that's why we had to get this clear that we imitate God even though we are in the Earthly world but when it comes to the Earthly world we are reign supreme and so he says like the words of the madrish I mean we're using the verse as rosh Bina Israel God raised up as the head the children of Israel that's how we're going to read it so the measure says and here we are let's go into the madrish like I mentioned it's another thing is number 29 what did I say it is 20 28. 28 on the sushi so this is a Madras Raba chapter one part nine so we're dealing with the words raise up the head that's the verse we deal with there's another way that Hashem spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai saying raise the or take a census of the entire assembly of the children of Israel so one second avarlo what was God saying to Moses so with rosh Sue at Roche what does that mean s God was saying to the Jewish people remember we start off by Rashi saying that God continuously counts us because he's in love with us so too here the holy blessed be said to Israel I have not loved any creation more than you therefore means an elevated status I actually not only created you Above All the Other Nations but I made you like me okay so two kashem God is saying just as I I myself God has an elevated status God's talking about himself is Tali rosh you understand he himself is Tori rosh he is above all of creation so too that's why it says the verse we just read hola rosh that was the verse in first Chronicles 29 11. Hashem is the greatness yours Hashem is the kingdom and it's sovereignty over every leader the very last end Nicole Roche Nicole LaRoche over every leader so too God saying I arranged for you is God's saying I arranged for you you the Jewish people will have an elevated status over all the nations of the world and then we go back to our verse which says as rosh right you're gonna We translate as count or take a census of each head don't read it like that lift up the heads the Jewish people are already the heads and you're gonna lift them up as leaders way above everyone else in order to fulfill what it says in 148. 14 of Psalms it says by King David he raised up the horn for his people well what does it mean Karen it's the exalted The Pride he exalted the pride of his Nation that's what it means the yaram Karen liamo and also in Deuteronomy 28 1 which is really you know the nail the sealed the coffin here and it's clearly states over there God says to the Jewish people then Hashem your god well through Moses and Deuteronomy God will make you Supreme over all the nations of the earth now the truth is we have to live up to it if we keep the Mitzvahs right and we love each other and we do what we're supposed to do that we're supposed to do with each other there's nothing that's going to come in our way from bringing Redemption knowledge to ourselves but to the whole world if we are Lacks and lazy or we let allow our to take over then it's just going to delay it'll eventually happen it's just going to delay the whole process so let's all strengthen ourselves let's get our act together and this is a very nice piece of Shem we should all have there's no sheer next Thursday night we should all have an amazing Cabela satira right really like except the Torah like it's a uh a brand new Corbin that every single day that we learn Torah that we have a new taste it was right Hashem will come out on the other side better people so with that shabbat shalom and have a great life [Music]
