Rabbi Binyamin Yuhanan Parshat Pinchas 2

you shall see it and you shall be gathered unto your people you too as around your brother was gathered in because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of sin in the assembly's strive to sanctify me at the water before their eyes they were the Waters of strife at Kadesh in the wilderness of sin Hashem reminds Moshe why he has to die because he struck The Rock in front of the Jewish people instead of speaking to it and thereby he did not sanctify God's name as much as he could have already died because of it Miriam already died earlier and now the last sibling Moshe is about to die but before Moshe dies he worries about the Jewish people and he asks Hashem for a successor in verse 15 Moshe spoke to Hashem saying May Hashem god of the spirits of All Flesh appoint a man over the assembly who shall go out before them and come in before them who shall take them out to war and bring them in with victory and let the Assembly of Hashem not be like sheep that have no Shepherd and the commentators say that Moshe was hoping that perhaps Hashem will appoint one of moshe's sons as the new leader but Hashem said to Moshe take for yourself yahushua son of noon you should be noon a man in whom there is spirit and lean your hand upon him you shall stand him before elazar the kohen and before the entire assembly and command him before their eyes Hashem wanted Moshe to specifically take Joshua and appoint him as the new leader in front of the entire assembly so that after moshe's death there is no question who is the new new leader there is no argument no fight and you shall play some of your majesty which refers to the power of Prophecy as well as The Shining of the face upon him so the the entire assembly of the children of Israel will pay heed to him will pay attention to you sure just like they listen to you and before elazar the Quran shall he stand Yoshua will be subservient to Alaska who shall inquire for him of the Judgment of the urim before Hashem if yahushua has any questions to Hashem he will ask al-azar and al-azar will present the question to Hashem and the stones on the breastplate of just judgment will light up because of uributumi that was a parchment with name of Hashem written on it that was placed in the fold of the breastplate of judgment and his word shall they go out and at his word shall they come in he and all the children of Israel with him and the entire assembly Moshe did as Hashem and commanding him he took Yoshua and stood him before Lazar the kohen and before the entire assembly he leaned his hands upon him this is called that is why a rabbi that is ordained we say that he received means that someone is leaning upon him and that represents that he relies on him I trust you that you can support me which means you can support the weight of decision making for the entire assembly and I invest you with the power given to me he leaned his hands upon him and commanded him as Hashem had spoken to Moshe now until the end of the Parsha we learn about the Jewish calendar and all the holidays but not so much in terms of the laws of each particular holiday as much as what kind of offerings need to be brought in betamic dash on every day of the year chapter 28 Hashem spoke to Moshe saying command the children of Israel and say to them my offerings my food for my fires my satisfying aroma shall you be scrupulous to offer to me in its appointed time and you shall say to them to the Jewish people and it starts with the daily offering which is called the tamid tamid means a continual offering which is two Lambs one to be brought in the morning and one to be brought in afternoon this is the fire offering that you are to offer to Hashem male Lambs in the first year unblemished two every day as a continual elevation offering this is hola one lamb in the morning and the second one in the afternoon together with it we bring minha fine flower mixed with some oil olive oil and the libation um some wine that was poured on the altar now in verse 9 we learned about Shabbat the tamid was brought every day of the year both on weekdays and Shabbat and all the holidays in addition to tamid every day that was special like Shabbat and holidays we also had additional offerings which are called musafim musaf means additional offering so we start with Shabbat what was an additional offering for Shabbat verse 9 and on the Shabbat day two male Lambs in the first year unblemished plus some flour some oil and some wine it is elevation offering of each Shabbat in addition to the continual elevation offering and its libation so in addition to the tamid we bring another two males for musaf of Shabbat now rosh Hodes verse 11 on your new moons you shall bring an elevation offering to Hashem two young Bulls one ram seven male Lambs in the first year unblemished plus some flour oil and wine the the this is the elevation offering of each month in its own month for the months of the year Plus in verse 15 one male of the goats for a sin offering to Hashem in addition to the tamid we also brought musaf which consisted of hola elevation offering and as Sin offering now in verse 16 Passover in the first month on the 14th day of the month shall be a Pasa offering to Hashem that's on the 14th day we bring in the afternoon a passive offering and on the 15th day that is when the Festival of matsot is and it continues for seven days on the first day is a holy convocation you shall not do any laborious work and you shall offer a fire offering again a musaf an elevation offering two young Bulls one ram seven male Lambs plus flour oil and wine that is for hola and for a sin offering he goat one male gold um verse 24 tells us that these shall you make each day of the seven day period on Passover it's easy in addition to the Daily tamid every day we bring musaf which is the same all seven days unless it's Shabbat then we bring Shabbat musaf as well in verse 26. on the day of the first fruits on your Festival of weeks because the word Shavuot in Hebrew means weeks it shall be a holy convocation to you it's a Yom Tov and you shall not do any laborious work you show offer elevation offering to Young Bulls one ram seven Lambs plus flower oil and wine and verse 30 and one male goat for a a synonym together with its um wine now chapter 29 will go to Rosh Hashanah in the seventh month of the first day of the month again there is a holy convocation which means it's a Yom Tov and you shall not do any laborious work and you shall hlb a day off so far sounding for you we blow so far on Rosh Hashanah you shall make an elevation offering one young bull one ram seven male Lambs Plus flower oil and wine and a sin offering consisting of one male goat and since Rosh Hashanah the beginning of the year is also beginning of the new month of tishre aside from the elevation offering of the new moon you have to bring the musaf offering of in addition to musaf offering of Rosh Hashanah and if it happens to be a Shabbat you would have to bring musaf offering of Shabbat as well now verse 7 Yom Kippur on the 10th day of this seventh month there shall be a holy convocation for you and you shall afflict yourselves afflicting means no eating no drinking no wearing leather shoes no marital relations no bathing and no anointing you shall not do any work as well because Yom Kippur is like Shabbat you shall offer an elevation offering as a musaf offering one young bull one ram seven male lambs and some flour oil and wine and one male goat for a sin offering in addition to other offerings of Yom Kippur that are discussed in in parashat remote aside from the sin offering of the atonement and the continual elevation offering with its meal offering and their libations now we go to the halidov Sukkot verse 12. on the 15th day of the seventh month there shall be a holy convocation for you you shall not do any laborious work and you shall celebrate the festival to Hashem for a seven day period however this Festival differs from Passover by Passover every day was the same musaf offering on Sukkot it's almost the same but the amount of bulls is decreasing starting from 13 and every day going down one until it gets to seven you show offer an elevation offering 13 young Bulls first day is 13 2 Rams 14 male Lambs plus flour oil and wine one meal goat for sin offering and the same offering is brought every day of seven days besides the Bulls on the second day it's 12 young Bulls on the third day 11 bowls fourth day ten bowls fifth day nine balls sixth day eight balls and seventh day seven bowls all together they were 70 Bulls brought in addition to all the other offerings but the number of 70 is significant because that is the number of the nations in the world that that split after uh the mabul from the three sons of Noah and all the nations that we have now are outgrowths of those Nations or mixtures of those Nations but the original root nations are only 70. and that means that on Sukkot we also cared for the nations of the world because on Sukkot were judged for water all around the world for the next year and therefore the Jewish people brought offerings also for the non-jews for their success and now we go to sheminia at seret verse 35 The Eighth Day shall be a restriction for you restriction because it's a Yom Tov cannot do work but also restriction means that at the end of the seventh day holiday of so-called where we offered not only for us but also for the nations of the world and nations of the world were also allowed to come on Sukkot and celebrate with us and bring the offerings the eighth day is a day of restriction for you which means you are restrained in yerushalayim all the other nations can go home but you the Jewish people stay with me one more day you shall not do any laborious work you shall offer an elevation offering One Bowl One Ram seven Lambs and flour oil and wine and one he goed for a sin offering and now in verse 39 we summarize these are what you shall make for Hashem on your appointed festivals aside from your vows and your free will offerings and your elevation offerings your meal offerings your Libations wine pourings and your peace offerings and Chapter 30 verse 1 concludes the Parsha Moshe said to the children of Israel according to everything that Hashem had commanded Moshe this concludes parashat pinhas thank you for joining us shabbat shalom um
