Join me as we learn for today. For Tuesday parishes yesterday's Monday, we learned about Israel giving advice to Moshe, his his son-in-law, telling him that because the Jewish people are standing all day, this is going to tire Moshe out and tire the people out. And therefore he advises them to appoint leaders for a thousand, for 100, for tens this way to ease the burden. However, he tells them you must get God's agreement to it. Today, Tuesday, chapter 18, verse 24, and Moshe the voice of his father-in-law, and he did all that he said. Rashi There's no rashi on it. So we continue as Moshe tells what Moshe presents his plan to the Jewish people and he does as God told them. And therefore Moshe chose wellestablished people from all the Jewish people and he made them leaders amongst the Jewish people leaders of a thousand. Leaders of a 100 kamishim leaders of 50. the and leaders of tents 20. Oh, sorry. We continue into verse 26. And Moshe tells the Jewish people that these leaders what they will be from now on. They judged the people at all times. The difficult things they brought to Moshe in all these simple matters they judged on their own. The minor matters they did on their own. Verse 26, this is talking about as they would do it that this is what they judged currently. What does the word means? They would bring they would judge and all these different terminologies as we mentioned in the previous verses are also as well as things that will happen in the future. Therefore, the Aramaic translation looks at it as the future as well. something that are happening currently and what will happen as they continue to go on in their time of the desert as so as now the appointed time the Jewish people did not know that they were not going immediately into the land of Israel this was assumed this would continue into the land of Israel as well verse 27 and Moshe now sent off his father-in-law and what Israel then did he went set back on his way to his homeland. This is now telling us if we look later in the book of numbers we find out that Israel stayed with the Jewish people for over seven months and this was to supervise the implementation of his plan and when they were about to leave Mount Si which was on the 20th of year 2449 then he decided to go to Midian and to convert his family that was all there after he successfully set up this whole judicial system with Moshe as Rashi tells us why did he go back to his friendly guy to convert his family. This concludes the third Torah reading of Pares Israel.
