CHAZARAH - Bechoros Daf 5 | "Nothing but the Daf" with R' Eli Stefansky

[music] Good morning. [screaming] There's an email from a very person. Then a few weeks ago, I rediscovered nothing but the and got hooked's father from I appreciate him a lot more. There's a lot of people that uh nothing but the D is perfect for them. Some people huh >> read this email. >> Correct. I thought about that. I thought about that. Okay. We're holding uh like 19 lines from the bottom of we're in middle of a we know that init we had a we had in in there was a bkar and in there was the question is what about in the middle the middle part in the midbar was there such a concept called a bkar was there a gusha of a bkar So, oh, did we do the Mishk? Did I show how the Mishk was built yesterday? Yes. Okay. So that day that we the went up, they brought onto the anybody that that made a nether to bring a carbon like also for different it says there's something called rice also. of so what do you see? You see that there was a bakar in the middle of the desert. How how else did they put it on the in on the Mishkan in the desert? So answers very simple from perhaps these were that they had already from they never had the chance to be m of them. They brought them in fact says but I could prove the opposite. It seems like there's only a one time um window where they were these there's nothing else to be theyed all the they did everything they could do you see from here that there's no on the it was only that one day some say the opposite says that there was aar in the midbar he asked for There was not correct says there's not says it goes through. Correct. What will we do without yesterday? He said you see it was only that one day. You see like me that it doesn't continue. It didn't go throughout the whole journey through the midbar says maybe it means they brought the day and following also and what's if you have a carbon that you have to bring such as aar you have to put it on can't bring it you need you can't bring it on a bummer you can't use one of these one of these backyard things you can't use that. It needs to be the real Mishk. There's three places. This is already a big problem. These words are a problem to to there are three different places that there was it says in the midbar not like what's going to do with this when they When you come in says the told us about what's going to happen in the future, not that right now. You should just know when you get there, there's going to be aar. So basically what he's saying is that there's no of course there's this is what he meant. There's in the middle in the midbar I'm telling you there's no just told us about it. How could you say this in the midbar tells go count all the male firstborns in the midbar says that time that they counted yes there was a one-time thing of when said to countu but from that point on there's no more anybody born after that time of counting all the way in the beginning of the journey a year in I believe was a year in after that there's no more yes one time in the midbar there was says no that every child born in the desert had a bkar on top we're going to see today we're gonna have some and we're gonna have some uh second and third grade level math very simple math says first it's when you come then you do seems like in the midbar we didn't have a how does say that the didn't stop that there's a throughout the desert and there's a when you come so what what what changed why what does it say where does he get his idea from so there's a little bit of says, "I dreamt that my rebi came to me in a dream and I understand that if I see my rebi in a dream, good things are going to happen today. I'm going to say a very good thing." And what's my how am I going to tight up my rebi? I'm going to explain him that it continues and that they're going to be for me for all generations. It's never going to stop. It's not going to stop in the but it seems like from the when you reach then the starts again. [clears throat] No, the Tyra is telling you is saying that if you keep this mitzvah, you treat with the you have to keep on treating with you have to bear, you have to give the five. If you do that correctly, you observe that mitzvah, then you'll be going to stroll. In other words, it's not the same possible. Why will you come to because you learn this whole says goes from beginning to end and never stopped ever. Is the one that says that it stopped. It falls in the middle of the midbar. says there's no is another is there another way to read these words says the simple is there's no in the midbar but we're going to see that there's another those same words can mean something else the exact opposite I don't understand something you just reversed everything You're going to reverse all the questions that it's actually this is a bigger problem because what are you going to say now? You're going to say that dreamt that came to him in a dream because his what's his the remain the same is that that the goes from beginning to end. Now you want to say that the in the beginning we're saying goes over no you have to switch the names. It's actually that says it goes from beginning to end. And the puzzl the problem is rebi was not was why is he dreaming about somebody else's rebi? What what connection? Let's say let's say he dreamt let's say uh he dreamt about somebody else that that's why you know you're going to say nice. If your rebi comes to you in your dreams, you know, you're going to say nice. So he says like this is saying the same thing that we said up until now like we learned yesterday says the goes from from all the way through didn't stop for a second through the midbar. What does it mean like you don't have to be mikadeshar was born he's born. You don't have to be in kadesh says you have to be mad you have to do a to make him say not true even in the desert every it's a funny but that's that that's what that's what happened there actually says meaning we know meant means it didn't stop it didn't stop for a second that you don't have to be the problem is so why is he flipping it why is he changing the law must say action that everybody understands and that is it'll be a lot easier holds that it didn't stop in the midbar. Why are you saying which is very confusing cuz the way we read it means they don't have and you're telling me no means they do have so so powerful in the you don't even have to do anything. So he says because that's exactly how said it said and what he meant is that the doesn't stop it's very very but the idea is explains this he says that you don't want to change the wording of your because if you change the wording the rebi that's where mistakes happen about everything's about and you think that you know how to say better than the said like kachu And in your mind, wait, that's very confusing. Like to me, if I said it over, someone's going to think I meant it's not. So, let me change it around. But then what happens is you start changing the words and the next generation is going to think no, they're going to get keep it the way it is. Stay the way it is. If he says if you really to respect somebody completely is to respect his words and to be mad on the lotion that the person said, that's the true respect. Oh, so here it goes. This is the beginning of that. No, this is not really. So the Roman general asked he was uh he was up to no good. Obviously he was trying to to poke fun and to to to belittle the he says but he asked a good cash here. It seems like a good question but we we we already addressed this question yesterday. Here, check out the chart. When counted, there's 22,300 levim. Now, how many of regular Israel were there? [snorts] 22,273. So, 22,300 is enough to cover all the of the the Israel. What happened took their power? He took the because the Israel war were were no good. He transferred the to the he was p to them. All the Israel lost their job in the B in the in the Mishka. So it's enough 22300 is enough to cover 22 273. But the T says no 273 out of the 22,273 they had to make it go. 273 had to pay for themselves. They couldn't get a free transfer from the levy. They couldn't use the ley. They had to give their own five slime to the kite. Why is there 22 to 300? That's his question. You're missing 300 air. You made a whole thing in the that people have to redeem themselves. Why? You had enough. Where's the 300? Very simple. Listen, themselves had the firstborns. 300 of the were first firstborns. Mmaha, those firstborns had to transfer to themselves. They had to get rid of their own. They had to basically they use it up on themselves. And when when you use it up on yourself, nobody's point to them. So because they use it up on themselves, they can't help anybody else out. So we're missing 300. So therefore, 273 had to redeem themselves. the he uses up his power to redeem himself. So therefore, you don't have anybody left to redeem the Israel. If it's like what you're saying, Abby, and you have 600, let's say, so you have 600 that redeem themselves, the number of isam that they're able to redeem is much less now. Another 300 off the chart. Okay, here goes. Another question. goes like this. How many Jews were in the midbar from 20 to 60? Anybody? >> Oh, >> 600,000. 3,000. This is the number that we don't know. 3,550. Okay. So, that's BR. So, everybody brought a half a shekel. So how many halfish column were there? >> 300,000 plus 300,000 plus shekel. Yeah. [clears throat] The 300,000 shekel is actually there's there's a very large denomination called a kar. Every kar has 1500 shekel. So if you 1500 shekel divided by the 300,000 equals how much? 2011 >> 201 giant let's call them giant like uh breads loaves of bread made out of uh gold whatever >> the they're they're worth or the what are they called in the the the gold >> bars >> bars bars bars >> I like bar >> a bar of of silver a bar of silver is worth500 shekel 1500 shekel so therefore if you have 300,000 shekel you have 201 cars. Here's the problem. Ask ask this guy this Russia. He saysu either he went to panovich. He doesn't know math. That's what he said. [clears throat] Or he's a ganov. You have to choose. Why? Because the says he ended up giving to the bish 100 bars. But they collected 200 bars. So he must have pocketed 100 in his pocket. Not just 100, 101. It's he adds it. He's like another stuff. You want to go 50/50 be got him on 50%. So he should have given something there's 100 and a half but he only gave a 100 and he pocketed 101. So that's the question. Okay. What could be a good answer to that? Maybe. >> Okay. She says let's see it inside. So you don't really need to know the math the 300,000 but it's good to see how it works. [clears throat] So he says back a little bit. >> Oh the uh bars but it's a little bit more than that [snorts] it's 301500. So the the math we left over with a tiny little bit 275 shekel after you put these big bars right because the number is off. It's 301775. [clears throat] So it's it's considered 11 mana. Okay. It's 201 giant bars and a little and 11 little manas. Fine. That's not important to our but when gave the money to the was only 100. He gave 100. What happened to the 201 collected? They gave 100. Wow. What a knew was a gun of oi was a kidnapper. Hold on a second. One second. Means somebody that kidnaps people meaning he he must have hid he was hiding half a ro or he was a gambler, a degenerate. It says inus he gambled away half the money [snorts] or maybe doesn't even know math. anybody doesn't know. But it wasn't really 50/50. He didn't he didn't give the Bish half. He took for himself more than half. A little bit over half. 101. And he gave the BD 100 as he said 101 like he took himself that 101. So he tells him he was very good at math. Just what you don't know is that 100 equals 200. Everything is double and I'll explain to you why. So first of all before we're going to explain where he got it from just a simple question. What was the question? Maybe he gave the B mikdash 100 and he put 101 away. Well, when a when an institution raises money, what they they spend that all that money that day, they they need some for for for a rainy day. They need some there's going to be a big I don't know what coming up. They only collected a 100. It says they only collected 100. Where do you get this? Make it up. Okay. So I'll tell you how what was left over 71. Check this out. How many shekel is in one bar? One kar. How many >> 1500? So look at this pfamo. 1,700. Why would I use a Why would I call it a,700? In 1,700 there's a bar. I could put a bar in there. >> 1500 is a bar. So 1,700 is a bar plus 20 whatever 75 275. When I'm counting, I should say 101 bars and 75. Why would I say 100 bars plus 1,775? You know what I mean? If if you're right that a bar is 1500 then I wouldn't say 1 1700 uh whatever that a smaller number I would say right >> lai what do you see from here that a bar is actually 3,000 and since a bar is 3,000 it's double what you thought it's not 1500 it's 3,000 so 1700 is not a bar so that's why I call it 1700 the Tory set it out. It's like saying um 1,500 quarters if you're an American or 1,500 dollar bills. Just say whatever. Okay? You know what I mean? Add another bar. Instead of 100 bars, say it's 101 bars because 1700 is another bar plus. And the leftover the 275 is 17 is is 11 [cough] since the specified exactly 1700 because it's not a bar. A bar is 3,00 1700 is not a full bar. So I had to say 1700. Maybe when I talk about bars I only I round it off 100 bars. I don't do a 101. That's not a good number. It's a raashm. It's 100 bars and anything above 100. Every 100 I say 100 bar. I'll say 100 bars, 200 bars, 300 bars. But I never do 123 bars. That's not It's not how I count. So I I won't do one. I'll do 100 bars plus 1,775. Okay. So, it says so I have 2400. 2400 divided by the 25 uh shekel equals where is it? This guy. What happened? Oh, 2400 is 96. I have 96. So, the question is but 2400 again the same exact we said before. 2400 in 2400 is a bar. Why? Cuz a bar is 1500. So I should really say one bar and 900 left over. Why did I call it 2400? The answer is once again that a bar is 3,000. You see from here that a bar is 3,000. That's why I couldn't say I had to call it out 2400. Maybe it's I like saying it like this 2400 rather than saying one bar plus this and that when it's a smaller number. How much is one mana in the gar all throughout chass? What's a mana? Mana >> 100. If you have 100, you always want 200 amount is 100. So let's see this says Gabriel. So do the math with me. 20 plus 25. 20 + 25 is how much? 45. And plus 15 is how much? >> 60. Every shekel has four dinner. So 4 * 60 is how much? >> 240 >> 240. So why does it say it's why why does the plastic say it like that? Because that's how they collected it. They collected 20 and 25 and 15 for a total of 60 60 shekel. 60 shekel how many dinner? 240. The problem is a is only 100. So you have a big problem. One is 100 and all of a sudden we're at 240. So what do you see? You see that the the shir are double. Instead of 100, it's 200. But wait a minute. It's a little bit more than 200. It's 240. So what do we do with the 240? How did you get from 100 to 240? You see that it was double. But how do you get to 240? Because you know throughout there's inflation whatever. So you add two money and you say instead of it being worth 100 it's worth 120. 120. How much is 20 when you when you finish the number? Your total number is 120. What percentage is that of the 100? >> 16. It's 16 millibar. In other words, when you get to the here, let me show you how it works. Very, very simple. Oh, >> yeah. In a 100, there's 520 bills. 520 bills. When you get to 120, you get 120. So, when you're done with the number, the 20 is a sixth. 20 is a six. If you're not done with the number, so it looks something like this. In other words, if a six, if you do a six from the original, like we call a sixth, so it be 16.6. We have the same thing with I always say means 25%. It's a fifth, but it's a fifth mill. When you're done, it's it's 25 when talking with about 100. So is 25. Why? Because when you're done, it's 125. We have 125. 1/5 of 125 is 25. The kits are it's the way they used to call it back then. They used to call it a sixth. And they what they meant is when you're done with the whole number in Hebrew, they have mala mata. They have >> you see gross or net. >> Gross or net. >> Oh, okay. You're right. In accounting, it's gross. Very good. Those who know. I just had you see from here that we always go with the gross. Okay. Top one and I love this. Why is it that we do but we don't do we don't do any other animal [laughter] that's there's no reason. You know why? Because they helped us. They had the best most powerful donkeys. Each donkey had two horsepower. Two donkey power instead of one. Loaded with gold and silver. The famous, you know, the Egyptians eventually took to court. They wanted all their money back. We furish that we borrowed money from them. We never returned it. >> And then then that that old man came >> past. How do you remember such a name? >> Represent. He was the defense attorney. >> He's defense attorney. He's like a hunched over Yid. I think he came over and he said, "Okay, but you owe us for 420 years of slavery. If you're going to go, where does it say to the Okay. And the says that we were slaves for 420 years. Pay us x amount of money." And they ran away. They left their fields. What's what does mean? There's nothing special about the word. That's the name of the place. Oh what it means can't become you have to be yourself new year yourself entire another add another two minutes learning another program something mean don't don't look too much into it that was its name in fact Say no means something. That was it. They literally they were unclothed. They were successful. They made everybody carry. What do we do here? Oh, we have some time. We started late, I guess. says, "So, we have a picture of it. It's great. You have it looks like a donkey." The parents, both parents are are cattle. Mother, father, even the father is is a bull. But out came this thing that looks like a donkey. Even his teeth are donkeyish. Its ears certainly. So let's say the mission or a donkey who gives birth to a horse. Now only a needs only a donkey a firstborn donkey do not a horse. Is this a horse? Listen to this. No from both. If a cow gives birth to something that looks like a donkey, it's not a firstborn. You don't have to give it to says it twice until the mother is a donkey. Both must be a donkey. If the mother's a donkey but the baby looks like a horse, what about eating? Very simple, says the came out of a kosher animal. So the the offspring is kosher. I don't care what it looks like. It could look like an elephant. You could eat it. And the the the reverse is also true. If a lion gives birth to something that looks like a cow, you can't eat it. It's a lion. Let's just do let's see. Let's do two lines here until and then we'll go to chakras. Not awesome. If a goat gave birth to a a sheep and a sheep gave birth to a goat like in this picture, but if it looks similar to the mother of how we see this different than the we brought it should be a sheep. and the the should look like a sheep. What if it has it looks like the mother you think it's there's the difference? We'll do this tomorrow. But why are you bringing a different than our Mishna that brings have a wonderful day.
