someone abandoned their idolatry abandoned their way of life converted to Judaism follows The One and Only God of Israel considered a skin disease that doesn't sound like a compliment that doesn't sound like the 36 expressions of love and protection that a tells us in the T about converts so much so that the r that a Jew has to love every other Jew that is obviously considered a lover of hem someone that follows to but if that Jew is a convert he has to love that Jew even more than the other Jews in fact he has to love that Jew as much as he loves God this is unacceptable to some people that want to make their own rules but this is what the law is this is what this what the ra so how can you say that someone that's so special is a skin disease skin disease doesn't sound good skin disease sounds terrible anyone that is experienced any type of skin disease doesn't look at skin disease as something favorable so how could this be now of course the Heretics especially those missionaries that try to distort the Torah always look at things like this in order to capitalize on them and say look the Jewish people are bad because of all types of misunderstandings they have of the talmud one of the things for example that they uh they bring often is they say look the whole notion of having a rabbi is completely forbidden and that's why a Christian will never call any Rabbi a rabbi they'll call him sir or they'll call them by their first name but they hate the whole title of Rabbi because their false Testament tells them you know rabbis are bad but even though the Torah says that we have our sages we have our don't go right or left say yeah no no that's only referring to the levy tribe if they're a levy then they're allowed to be the rabbis the judges and so on now this would be nice if it was true but unfortunately there's stupidity and ignorance is proven otherwise here in this par in this Paras we have one of the most righteous converts that ever lived who not only hears a glory and the extraordinary things that did for as the starts that heard he heard about the glory of God he heard about God's reward and punishment against the Egyptians he heard how God split the ocean for us he heard all of these extraordinary things and in chapter 12 uh chapter 18 verse number 11 and 12 does two extraordinary things he says now I know that hasem is great and there is no God other than him because in the way that the Egyptians had taught to punish Israel in exactly that way they themselves were punished and then in 12 he talks about bringing a sacrifice in honor of God so blessed and Page 54 says that it became like a skin disease to am skin disease you just blessed God and if that's not enough if you go to I'm sorry m page 94a you'll find something even more extraordinary not only did bless A's name but even more so on the spot took a knife and gave himself a like AB took a knife gave himself a circumcision why he thought heard all he needed to hear I want to be a Jew I want to be a Jew that's it not maybe if you guys convince me if I have enough money if uh this if no conditions I've heard enough blesses circumcises himself it th converts to Judaism it converts to Judaism so why call him a skin disease doesn't sound good doeses it it doesn't finish there it also gives mosenu some advice that ends up being the creation of the legal system in the world until this day and for those Heretics that come from the Messianic Jews which are really Christians in Disguise that say that only the levies can be the rabbis also disprove them why because it said that you have to have the leaders of thousands the leaders of hundreds the leaders of 50s and the leaders of the tens and that's exactly what a allowed to happen and that's what mosu instituted now the Torah tells us that there were 600,000 men between the ages of 20 and 60 it's needless to say there was at least that many women and certainly many more kids than that and obviously people older than 60 but 600,000 men if that's what we base our number on just the men not the older ones not the children not the women that means that we will have 78,3 judges leaders of thousands 600,000 you need to have 600 leaders of hundreds 600,000 you need 6,000 laders of 50s divide the 600,000 to 50 you get 12,000 and the leaders of tens simply just remove one zero from the 600,000 you have 60,000 total of all of these leaders of these judges 78,2 now how does this disprove the whole notion that only the levies can be the judges or the rabbis or the leaders simple the Torah tells us repeatedly how many levies there were and there were only 22,000 which means that if we have 78,3 the levies are not enough to meet that number and certainly there was more of the 78,000 but even if you're conservative and you only base it off of the 600,000 you still get a 78,000 this all came from itro itro fought idolatry back then itro is still fighting idolatry today
