Continuation of Perek Yud Daled
Storyboard Text
- Hashem speaks to Moshe
- 5) "לא יאמינו בכל האתות אשר עשׂיתי בּקרבּו" When will Bnei Yisrael finally believe in me after all of the miracles I've done for them?! 6) "אכּנו בדבר ואורשנו" I will strike them with a plague and destroy them! And Moshe, after you being so loyal I will make a great nation from you. They will greater and stronger than Bnei Yisrael.
- Moshe tries to convince Hashem to save Bnei Yisrael
- But Hashem all of the other nations are all saying how you are so incredible and powerful and how there's nothing you wouldn't do for Bnei Yisrael. But if you destroy them they will all say: 7) "מבּלי יכלת ה׳ להביא את העם הזה אל הארץ אשר נשבּע להם" Hashem isn't able to bring his nation to the land that he promised them. And just imagine what Mitzrayim will say: 8) "שכנגדם יכולת להלחם אבל כנגד יושבי הארץ לא יכולת להלחם" Hashem is able to fight other nations but when it comes to his own nation he isn't able to control them so he has to destroy them and start brand new.
- Moshe uses the Yud Gimmel Midot Harachamim to save Bnei Yisrael
- 9) "סלח נא לעון העם הזה כגדל חסדךָ וכאשר נשׂאתה לעם הזה ממצרים ועד הנה" Hashem please forgive the nation with your great kindness! Just like you protected them from Mitzrayim until now. There are so many examples of how kind you are so use that kindness now! You are merciful, caring, and compassionate towards Bnei Yisrael. You are slow to anger, you look for their mitzvot over their Avarot, you always reward good actions, and when people do Teshuva you erase that sin. Hashem these are just a few of your kindnesses so you should use this now to save Bnei Yisrael.
- 10) "סלחתי כּדברךָ" Moshe, because you davened I will forgive Bnei Yisrael. But I will still need to give them a punishment. 11) "אם לא יראו את הארץ אשר נשבעתי לאבתם" Bnei Yisrael won't be able to see the land that I promised them. But my dear Calev. Since he had a different spirit and he believed in me, he and everyone like him will be able to go into the land after 40 years of wandering in the desert and his children will inherit the land. And all of the men 20-60 will die. That's what they asked for. They said they would rather die in the desert so that's what I'll do.
-
- Hashem responds to Moshe and gives a new punishment
- Original plan:Everyone would die InstantlyNew nation from MosheNew plan:Shevet Levi, women, and children can enter in 40 years20-60 year old men will die in the period of time they will be wandering in the desert for which is 40 yearsEveryone will wander in the desert for 40 years
- There is another Rashi that asks why Shevet Levi can go into the land and why they aren't included in the dying punishment. The reason for that is that Shevet Levi didn't send a spy because they trusted in Hashem. So because of that they didn't need to partake in the punishment.
- There is a Rashi on why it is 40 years that they are in the desert. Hashem made it that the spies were in the land for 40 days. Each day equaled a year that Bnei yisrael would wander in the desert. Why 40 though. As we know the new plan includes men ages 20-60 dying so Hashem still wanted them to live a full life so that's giving them 10 or 20 or 30 or even 40 more years to live.
- Now I need to give the spies a punishment. 12) "באותה מיתה ההגונה להם" They will get a punishment that is fitting for them. Since they sinned with their tongue speaking Lashon Hara, their tongues will stretch down to their stomach. The reason their stomach because the stomach is the center of your body just like Eretz Yisrael is the center of the world. Anyway, worms will come out of their tongue and climb into their stomach. The reason why worms because worms use their mouth to destroy, just like the meraglim did so this should be a perfect punishment for them.
