Spread Out

relates to base Nimrod and as it relates to the Dor Flaga, just to put a plug for the Chumash here. Parshas Bereishis is around the corner, so it's soon going to be double day matzah. Rashi says that the Migdal Shinar Dor Flaga was Avodah Zarah, right? And the reason it's referred to as base Nimrod because Nimrod hire me a lot of That's what's going on over here. And this is really based on the Torah of our pair of the whole story of the Dor Flaga. The Gemara is in the end of Perek Chelek and Midrash in the end of Parshas Noach. And this is something that every little child knows that there was the Dor Mabul, there was the Dor Flaga, both terrible generations, not the same. The ikur avera of the Dor Mabul was when Nachum said in the middle of Chamas. The ikur avera of the Dor Flaga was more they were being more than what it would seem to go down as the shpitz Avodah Zarah. As a result, something very relevant to Masochist Avodah Zarah. But the truth is when you look at the Sukkim of the Dor Flaga, there isn't one reference, there isn't one hint even to the Dor Flaga wanting to worship Avodah Zarah. Right? What do the Sukkim say? None of them in front of me. But basically, the world got together and they said, "Let's create a Am Echad with a Safa Achas and we're going to have this one big tower. We're going to live in one city, and this is what we're going to do." Doesn't say one word anywhere in the Sukkim about there being Avodah Zarah. In the Torah of our pair, it's all about Avodah Zarah. It's all about being more than what But in the Torah of Avodah Zarah, and really when you read the Torah of Avodah Zarah, it's not even clear why they were punished. God looked down, he said, "I don't like what's going on over here. I don't want them to be one nation. I don't want them to be a Safa Achas. Let me be mevalvel them." And the rest is history. So if you look in the Rishonim, so many of the Rishonim in Shita Mekubetzes, literally the Rishonim al Torah, they all say a different whole different in the Dor Flaga, which is fascinating. This is a perfect example of where in the Torah of Avodah Zarah, there's one different and the Torah of Avodah Zarah is a different in the world. They really have This gets involved in only Shita Mekubetzes, the Rashbam and his with Rashi that he talks about in Parshas Vayeishev. The In Kanam Makom But the point is that if you look at the Rashi and say you want to know what the of the door of logo was in the mirror. The first thing that goes to Adam maybe even Adam and Hava as soon as they were born was I want you to multiply and fructify and I want you to conquer the land. I want you to spread out all over the world. I created a big world and I want you to populate that entire world. Say the that the door of logo by saying that they all wanted to concentrate themselves in one region were violating this principle of the Adam prove but not that part of the the next part of they were violating that. They don't want to be they wanted to be literally in that one central area and that was a violation of the first commandment that had given Adam and Hava and it's for that reason they were punished. How far they fell. First in the room and of course so much prove it. Prove it was the first part of the there's another part. The middle of the this was a violation of all of this it's a fascinating idea that come with a common say to explain the of the but we die.
