More Than Mnemonics: The Inner Structure of דצ״ך עד״ש באח״ב

We just sort of finished the takus again almost nine and a half, right? We're at the bottom of the ninth of the makus, so to speak. The makus are one of the themes of the makus is the idea that even though pyro keeps on getting punished again and again and again, but at the same time he's stubborn, right? and he doesn't budge. He bends. At some point, it looks like he cracks, but at the end of the day, he never breaks. And he holds strong cuz I'll say that really the first five times that Par reacted to the makus with this guru, it was something that came from within. But after the six maka, Pari was really ready to let the yan go. And the only reason he didn't let them go is because of the viral intervention because camel slave and that's what happened after Maka 6 after Maka 7 after Maka 8 after Maka 9 and then finally after Maka 10 sends the but five Makus Par himself was holding strong and then it's the latter five where really Pari was prepared to let the yen go but it was because of divine intervention that ultimately he didn't and Really if you think about it for a minute and this goes down as for sure a top 10 kasha of all time. How do we understand this idea that is going and he's manipulating the hearts and the minds of the Egyptians specifically of we know the most basic tenate of the most basic tenet of understanding why created a world created an Israel gave us the is because we have free will without free will this world is meaningless we're just a bunch of robots that are doing what we were programmed to do we're just living some predetermined destiny But our life has meaning because we understand that we have free will. It's the first parag it's the most basic point of why created this world. How does it make sense that a kajbu would go and he would rob par of his it seems to be so connected everything we know about the way conducts himself with this world is an Indian of again one of the greatest of all time who asked this kasha if you need some this foreign paras every single region is a kasha that everybody asked and even after you hear all the it's still a little bit so and again obviously we can't answer a kasha like this but just to say a k all it is is a and that is so right stating that we know from the used to give to the adash What does that mean? So is an acronym. It's for the first three and is an acronym. It's a rush for and is also an acronym. It's the B is it's referring to what does it mean? What's the significance of that? What's wrong with every fouryear-old child knows the 10? Why did have to make a sim right? that we know from learning a whenever you have a sim there's some significance in the sim it's usually said so that you should have an easier way of remembering it right we have on this certain written on but this simmon seems to be very frivolous yeah it's just short for the for the 10 what is the significance of so for that we need to take a step backwards and that is we mentioned a few times as we went through these of the makis which are extremely wordy that we're accustomed to thinking that the 10 makus were all 10 parts of one hole. In other words, there was an idea that par had to be hit 10 times, albeit in 10 different ways. But in terms of the pattern of how exactly the Maka was implemented, you would think would have been rinse and repeat. So there was a seder of how it happened and that repeated itself. And really if you go through the rash and it seems a little bit like that's the case, right? Every Makkah had three weeks of warning and then the Mak itself was a week and again and we just repeat that. And what's the difference between one Makkah and the other Maka, right? Makard this was blood and this is frogs or crocodiles and there's no difference between and other than this is frogs and that's lice etc etc. But when you look at the sukim, it doesn't feel so much that way because the sukim present each one of the makas in such different ways that it almost feels like they're all a little bit different. Just to highlight the point, you have some makas that are mentioned in a very very wordy way. There are some makis that are mentioned very big. I counted a little bit. I did some math. Borat is 23im. Arba is 20. Just to give two examples if you look at Kenim four fiveen even de which was serious is only seven. So clearly the presentation of the makus is very very different right 23ukim in the versus four that's a 19point lead. So obviously there's going to be a lot more mentioned in B than there is in Kenob and the truth is go through theim by some of the makis who tells Mosha to go warn parro and by some of the makos just goes ahead and with the snap of a finger he actually just implements it after some of the makis parro goes running to he says d for me and after some of the machis the kartum are there by some of the makis there's no mention of the kartum some of the makas the goes out of its way to say that it didn't affect the now we know none of the makas affected the yidden but read the only say by some of the makers right so again the wordiness of theukim seems to suggest that there's a little bit more than meets the eye so I'll tell you what dola that the bbanel says throughout his commentary on the marus so this abanel starts in parishes and it goes already into parro and if you take a look at the malbum in parishes doesn't quote theel but he very much goes out and really we're just going to give a little bit of a but in terms of pondering and understanding on a little bit of a deeper level what's going on with the banel says as follows he says when came to parro the very first time and he tells him so says hashem Who's the god of the Jews, the Hebrews? I want you to send them out for a short period of time. They're going to come to me for some festival in the desert. So responded. He said, "Who is who is he? I should listen to what he says." No less to send his people quote unquote outm. I don't know who hem is. Israel and I'm not going to send the Jews out says if you learn this post carefully what you're going to see is that when came with his ask responded with three things he said number one I never heard of Hashem I have no idea who you're talking about now really in order to appreciate this we're going to have to learn the next couple of shir but just to give a little bit of a shot the Egyptians were notorious right they would pagans and the pagans of once upon a time they didn't serve one god they used to serve multiple gods there was the god of this and the god of that and the god of the other thing right multiple multiple multiple this is Greek mythology laavd egyptologology this is exactly what the Egyptians did so par says I don't know I'm aware of all these differentkas I've heard of this that aar right you can't even say them but he says I know about all these different that exist Never heard of VFK meaning I have a database. You want them in alphabetical order, chronological order. What order? How would you like me to sort this? I could send you a spreadsheet right now with,42 getas. I don't have Havaya in my database. Right? That's what he's saying. I personally never heard of him. I I I don't even know you're talking about. He says besides says theel what he was saying was that even if you're going to convince me that there's a I might have missed one right got to go back to school but at the same time you're suggesting that this hava is mashk on the world and he has his eyes on the world and he actually is paying attention and cares about what's going on. No way because that I for sure wouldn't know. I mean it could be THERE'S A GET GUY I NEVER heard of like a data I'll be honest I never heard of him but to double down and to tell me that this hav is actually being mash in the world I know that the sun rises because of the sun god and there's a moon because of the moon god and rains because of the rain god etc etc etc right there's the corn god and the soybean god there's no way there's a hava that's mashia in the whole world it can't be such a thing and besides you're coming to me like in this threatening way as if if not right. You're telling me that he has power to actually do SOMETHING TO ME IF I refuse his desire and his wishes. It's not possible. I'm telling you, I am a big professor of there's no Havaya. I never heard of him. Even if he exists, he's not paying attention to what's going on. And even if he knows what's going on, he there's nothing he can do about it. says that parro in this one verse if you want to go through this a little bit better was coming with three I don't know whoa is he's not mash in the world so that this whole thing is silly anyways and even if he was he can't do nothing about it so there's no reason I should even have to pay attention I have to listen to him and moenu was misf with pyro he says no py you're wrong I'm telling you there's a value he knows exactly what's going on and if he wants to punish someone that doesn't listen to that person is going to be in big trouble and par says no I never heard of him and Mosha said there is and says that Barbell this was the vik that was going on between Mosha and P so they have a face off you want to know what's going on in that palace they're having this theological uh debate says there's he's mash on the world and he's someone that has incredible power and is like he doesn't exist and even if he does he's not mash in the world and even if he exists and has on the world he has no to anything about it. And then finally, finally, finally, when Pari wasn't succumbing and he wasn't giving in, told Mosha, I want you to now go ahead and implement Makus. And the purpose of those makas is going to be to prove you right and him WRONG REGARDING THESE THREE THEOLOGICAL POINTS THAT YOU'VE been debating. Mihava, this is going to be Makus to prove Mhavay. And the fact that Paris is saying even if he exists, he's not Mashiach. this makus to prove that he IS MASH AND THIS IS SAYING EVEN if he's mash he's not about we're gonna make to go ahead and we're going to show that he really is someone that's about and you know how many makers we're going to make to prove this out we're going to make 10 mus so says 10 he says why do we need 10 right I don't know maybe three let's do one to prove and let's do one to prove that is and let's do another one to prove that is the is Koshu can do whatever it is he wants to do. So told Mosha, you're right. You're saying very very good. But these 10 mas are really going to be three. The first three is going to be ONE AND THE SECOND three is going to be another one adash and the third one is going to be another one and that's going to be and that's why because really each set of makis represents another of that's taking place between mush and par in par's palace says theel take a look at the just take a look at the makdam was the first makka What is tellah to tell that when you're going to do you're going to know that I am the first speaks of that over here now you're going to know now you're going to know that I'm and that was the purpose of makam and that was the purpose of purpose of maka what was the third mak of this set it was makaskin what did the kartum mitz say what did the kish say after he's right he's saying good the man saying good there is aim because we know all thekis and I know all the gods and all the deities I can't pull off a mask AND IF MUST BE THERE'S A mitas that we WERE UNAWARE OF THERE HAS to be SOMETHING ELSE THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT there's makam starts and it ends when it means different. No, IT'S THE started and it ended with a clear that that's what's going on. And then there was another set of makas and the purpose of the next set of makers. This is adash this is the purpose of this was to prove that is mash on the world. What does what does Moshe tell when it comes to the oro? Because what are we debating? Does Hashem exist or does he not exist? You'll see he exists. You're going to see that could do something that all your all your CAN'T DO. SO, THERE'S THIS you miss something right you miss something yeah you think he said but now the adash that's already a whole different aid and because that's a different avoid this is already you're going to see this incredible hash because that's the purpose of what this next Indian is the truth is throughout the mak of adash by and by deon the ty makes a big feel about the fact that the Makkah was only by the mitz right the Makkah was not something that happened by the right by Mak par even sends messages like he wants to know what's going on in like have those animals also been affected why is the being madish over here because here the dog the purpose of the mak of adash is the hashk of look at the LOOK AT THIS PINPOINT HASHKO THIS GUY YEAH that guy know and that's why even if it was true by all the makus But this is where the IS BEING BECAUSE THAT'S the real says theel of the adash is all about not just that you should know that but it's the then came the third set of makus and the third set of makus was it was it was it was and it was now the truth is makus is really we're going to talk about in the next year. So is a little bit different. So all the say max is different. We're going to get to that. We'll explain the but the bottom line is then came the next set of what happened by the next set of so says right. This is foreshadowing borrowed. What are you going to know? Not that I exist. And not only that, I'm because the was this. It's that you should not JUST THAT I EXIST, NOT just that I'm but and that's why what's the theme about what changed a little bit by you know what changes the comes what does the say and what happened by the says it was like the world had never seen and the world's never going to see again and by is going to be a like the world never seen and the world's never going to see cuz we're BRINGING OUT THE POWER OF that's the of the last set of makers. So says theel that it was 10 that's how we were always taught because what he's trying to say was that really the 10 m was made up of three sets of three again is that uh one that needs to be addressed a little bit better. It's it's and the of the of was that what it was and the of the was of and the of the it's so now if you want the longer version of it take a look at that barbell and take a look at the Malb and they all explain it. But one of the themes that the Abar Benel and the Malbum both say is that when you understand that it's not 10 mus BUT IT'S REALLY THREE makas that is one adash is two and is three a lot of theim that jump off the page that almost make it impossible to readim are going to come to life. You're going to see that there are certain themes. The first two of each set tells Mosha what to tell Pare. The third one Moha just goes ahead and does it. Go through all the all the makers. You're going to see that's how it plays itself out. He says the first one of each set, the very very first one. So dam and tells that I want you to go to parro and he says that's the he uses he uses a lot you should stand in front of him the second one it's par right our par begins by par it says bop par three times in the narrative right all the of it's three makas and par's boy it's a very nice shot but it happens to say boy twice in par also Because the second of all the sets of Makas start with a bopar the third one the maka just happens but this is the just giving you the m you want the of how to go through these a little bit better and understand the mikra this is the mahalik it's by understanding that the 10 m are really three why three because there's three between and that's what's playing itself out over here the truth is if you think about this it's a very fascinating because what are the three things. The second thing is and the third thing is if you look at a when you make you say the says you're supposed to have in mind exist rightem what are you supposed to have in mind by so say this you're supposed to have in mind that Additionally, he's a that's really the foundation of our faith. Our faith is the is that number one exists. Number two that is and number three is and it's a fellow is the foundation of our and these were the threeas that came out and by the way for extra credit take a look at the ramban and then the parishes boy when the ramban goes through and he talks about how all the isis and the and the whole was so that we should know for future what amuna is he brings out all three of these points I'm not going to do this now but inside it's so beautiful once you see theel because that's mish the cherry on the top this is the culmination of everything that's been going on throughout so here's the lustfina part again l the mistafino maybe maybe you could say what was the tlas of the last three makas What was it all about? Say it a little bit better. So, you know, if you ask someone that learns, you ask him, "What can harden P's heart?" Like, how did that happen? Did Pari harden HIS OWN HEART OR did harden his heart? What's he going to tell you? Oh, there was the first five makas and the second five makas. Now, first of all, that's a mistake. Just want to put it out there. That's a mistake. The reason it's a mistake is because meaning to split five and five, it's not a mistake. Rashi says it. in your mind to split five and five is a little bit of a toss because par wasn't ready to let the yan out after Maka 5. He was ready to let the yan out after Makkah 6 because the first five was all par. So par was bringing on the sixth Makkah then the sixth Makkah happened and after the sixth Makkah par was really you know what I'm done and there comes so again in the visualization five and five is a little bit of a misnomer it's true Rashi says it hey and hey but really needed a six the fifth came from parro thus he brought on the six maka on his own after the six maka at that point he was ready to let he was already let the yen go intervene which means that what when does the intervention come in it's between Mak 6 and seven it's between the Mak of and the Mak of B which really means that before got involved what was par going to have he was going to have the first six makers dam it's fine it's varda myim could also make FROGS KINGDOM SPELL AGAIN. BUT NO, NO, I'm still not so convinced. Or maybe I'm convinced, but not that he's I hear that's a little intense. Game over. It's up to you're not done yet. I'm going to bring on I'm going to bring an Arab. I'm going to bring and then there's going to be the whole Indian of of Mak. really the inflection point the turning point of the game as it relates to par was after Makashkrin after Makashin after Makashkrin he was done and the truth is if you think about it aled you could understand it a little bit because he had the first three Makus which proved out that okay but doesn't mean that he's Mashk the second three Makus proves out that was also Mashk when he that exists and has move that his guys don't have and when he that He sees what's going on. He wasn't going to roll the dice to see how powerful and how strong is. And at that point, he was going to let him out. Said, "No, I need to establish. I need to establish like the opening." And the foundation of the IS so I NEED TO SHOW I NEED TO PROVE out and as a result there's going to have to be another set of was down FOR THE I'M GOING TO BRING THAT because that's critical for the on the foundation of the and as A RESULT THE PAR WOULD BE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE CUZ HOW DO YOU THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS ONLY MANIFEST AND THAT'S what says I want THIS because this is something that's very very critical. See here's the punchline I think and that is what's the ultimate vise of the power and the strength of aesh he looks at par and he tells par you know what I'm able to do forget about I could split the sea I can make frogs I can make these things happen I can manipulate you and I could show you you're a NOTHING I CAN TOY WITH YOU I CAN PLAY GAMES WITH YOU LIKE YOU'RE MY PUPPET THIS IS THE ULTIMATE THIS is the ultimate declaration of you're a nothing. It's not my gun can shoot further than yours and my sword is that's not AUD toy with you. Maybe maybe the reason was parro was cuz that was the whole point of what he was trying to show parro. It was the whole point that what he was trying to show us, trying to show us that we should remember 3,000 years later that controls the world. He doesn't just control the heavens and the earth. HE CONTROLS US. YOU KNOW, famously said that sometimes and he could have in mind that he says on the one world and the and the but he forgets that is also God over him. Oh yeah, the industry controls what's going on in here and he controls what's going on over there and these protests and those riots and these things that's all but you forget that you know what happens to you today is also controlled by the ultimate is when that I'm going to manipulate you. This wasn't taking away the it seems like it was more than that and not just that it plays itself out. It's not the last five. It's a mistake. It plays it because and and the way that is explaining it with such it's after that means really the whole is for there to be the spits and punchline of the is the party. I don't think was for to show I think the was the ultimate of it was attempts of course but it's also the ultimate there's more in the fact than there is and that's exactly what the was coming to par and that's thision not as only that I should be able to make miracles. I want you by the to tell your children that you are nothing without you're a porn. You're just a piece in his master plan and could control every now gave us he gave us free will but that's something chose to give us BUT IF DECIDES NOT TO IN ONE second and there's nothing that shows more than that either way again this is a huge definitely gives us a better appreciation for the whole principle the whole the foundation of our amuna comes from the makis drilling down to these three things that it says in your if you look and maybe it's a little bit of an understanding of this that by these last four had removed the of
