Shnayim Yomi - Naso - Sheni - #2- Rabbi Karmi Gross

[Music] Turning now to the second aliyah and paraso we find an interesting p in me. So it tells us And avodat masa. Well, a masa we can imagine means carrying the different things that have to be carried the beams or the the kim themselves. But what's avod? And the gumaran actually picks up on this. Rashi mentions it and the avodat avoders and says the garra which is the avod which needs an avod with it. So and something that has something um that accompanies it. So says that's the instruments that were used because it is an aod playing these instruments is an avod that went together with another avod which is the actually bringing of the carbon. So actually as they brought the carbon they were playing the instruments. Now it's very interesting is that the gumar and suka the gumar questions is it a ble or ika aod bashir what was the main part of the avod of the levim is when they sang and played instruments was the ikar was the main thing the singing and the instruments were just to accompany or the other way around that the instrument was the main thing was the ikar and that was the instrument and the singing was just you know to add a little a little uh accompany any harmony to it, whatever. And so it seems that the PK here is only talking about the avod, which Rashi says is the instruments. And how about the Shira itself, the song that could also be an ear. Why is that not mentioned in the P? And Rashi actually in Dray says that Aodat Masa refers to the song, I guess you could say. Okay. And he brings a Pra where it says there that they lifted up their voices in song. And therefore aod a would refer to the cle the instrument. Aodat masa would actually refer to the song as they lifted up their voices. And therefore the pik would be mentioning both the avodir and the avoda. [Music]
