Learn How to Redirect Your Destiny with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom Alim everybody welcome back to the m welcome home to Torah a very very warm welcome home to Torah and we deal with the Clear Car we deal with the fundamentals these are issues in Judaism I should say um you know topics of great interest and necessity we should know the fundamentals of Judaism we also are using the clear as the basis for our discussion and I encourage everyone to use the original Hebrew sheets you can find the link Down Below in in the YouTube description box you won't get a colorcoded one like I have it'll just be black and white but I it'll be so useful because the nuances of what we're learning is you can only really feel them out in the in the Hebrew itself okay so let us begin as I mentioned before we started we're in chapter 10 of Exodus verse 10 we're going to deal with the last few words of that verse okay so that verse says like this Pharaoh is speaking to Moses and Aaron okay Moses and Aaron they want the Jewish people to leave let my people go so they can serve me so they can serve KES they can serve the creator of the universe and Pharaoh said to them so may the Lord be with you just as I will let you and your young children out see that evil is before your faces the last few words that is what we're going to deal with and I always always wondered myself what exactly do those words mean what is Pharaoh saying see that evil is before your faces I get it that he does not want to relinquish this great nation property that he owns they're his slaves they're worth money um at the same time this is uh this is towards the end right this is not um this right pares Bo is dealing with the last three of the plagues so it's not the beginning uh it's already been quite an event to to say the least for pharaoh and for Egypt yet he doesn't want to really see them leave so I'm thinking to myself what is he saying that something bad is going to happen to you is that what he's saying what is he I don't I don't understand at all what he's saying that evil is before you neged p in front of you although Rashi does give us some understanding first of all he does not want to let the flocks go that's why when it says I will let you out right just as I will let you out but I'm not letting the cattle I'm not letting the sheeps and the goats and that's going to prove very important in today's lesson that's what Rashi says right away surely I will not let the flocks and the cattle out as you requested as you asked and this is very interesting see that evil is before your faces maybe I just give a little bit of an introduction the Zodiac the constellations right we see newspapers today they seem to uh give these predictions horoscopes um and there's a lot of um what call phony science I don't know whatever you want to call it out there with horoscopes and palm readers and they're all about the money it's all about the Benjamin right however in Judaism we do believe that Hashem created the entire universe exilo yes and something from nothing and what you look up into the sky and you see is a creation of God and it actually has an effect on the planet Earth however you want to view it whether it's the light that's emanating or it's Hashem created it in a natural in a natural sense or it's even we call hashem's own Providence coming through the the Creations that he made however you want to look at it it's real not the way it says in the newspaper but there is some aspect of reality that comes through the the Zodiac through the constellations so the the Rashi says understand this thear Mon rener it's fine now he says I've also heard from an atic midash in other words our sages our sages have passed down this information explains the POS the passage in the following way there's a star named happens to be Mars by the way a name a star by the name or a planet by the name of evil and what was Pharaoh actually saying to Moses and Aaron through his astrologers or through his own aspect of be being able to read astrology he said there's a star named ra and with my astrology I see that that star or planet is ascending towards you in the desert and you're going to be damaged by it you would like to go that's a sign of blood and Slaughter so we we we will see a gamorra that explains anybody born under the influence of Mars is likely to be a murderer and we we'll see it shortly and when the Israelites sinned with the calf and the Holy One Blessed Be he sought to kill them we all know that Moses uh pleaded on our behalf that we shouldn't be killed so when the Israelites sinned with the golden calf the Holy One Blessed Be he sought to kill them we know Moses prayed on our behalf and one of the things he said right in Exodus 32:12 why should the Egyptians say with ra again that word ra meaning the masle the constellation he took them out I mean we always read it as perhaps with evil right he took them out that that would be a that would be a desecration of God's name that the Jews left Egypt only to find their demise in the in the desert so Moses is praying on our behalf we also see um see the ra is opposite your faces that those are the words in our verse 10 verse chapter 10: 10 where Pharaoh himself said that implying Pharaoh was implying that their blood would be shed in the desert so what he so concerned about us or again perhaps he just didn't want to lose uh the Jewish people from from leaving immediately the Lord repented meaning he changed his mind so to speak and we're going to discuss what does that mean cuz God is not a man that changes his mind what does it mean that he repented of the ra and what did he do it's actually the verse itself says means that he reversed he changed his mind the verse itself says that Hashem did something he changed that evil and it was not evil in the end he turned the Bloodshed that was originally symbolized by this star that even Pharaoh saw into the blood of circumcision and also he Rashi doesn't bring this down but also the blood of the pesak offering he turned the blood that was symbolized by the St into the blood of circumcision when in fact Yeshua circumcised it was a mass circumcision before we went into the land of Israel but also before we left the day the day before we left there was also Mass circumcision it says in Joshua 5:9 regarding a place called gigal this day I have rolled away the reproach of the Egyptians from you that was the mass circumcision and hasem again you know um in Hebrew right the word galal that's the name of the place for they were saying to you we see your we see blood over you in the desert as we said Pharaoh saw the demise of the Jewish people through astrology and what did Hashem do he changed something where and we're we're going to see that God won't make an entire uprooting of nature he won't change nature entirely but he'll you I think the word manipulate is okay to use he'll manipulate nature that it doesn't change per se there still has to be blood but it's not the blood of the Jewish people for death but it's the blood of the Jewish people for life through the circumcision so there's not an entire uproot but there's somehow a shift taking place okay so we're going to see in the clear let's go into the clear itself and it says like this see that evil is before your eyes we saw this these were the words of pharaoh imagine Pharaoh's words get put into the Torah the rabbis teach us inor shabas page 156a you can find this is three lines I quoted from the gamor number two on the S ritak said that one who is born under the influence of Mars which is the red red planet will be one who spills blood that sounds very bad like you're going to end up your whole life in jail because you were living with the guilt of murder Rashi said well got free choice here right you can actually overcome you Canen there's a way to fix this just because you were born with let's use the word fate as if there was a fate that you were going to be a murderer not so you can either become a blood Letter now in the Hebrew it really means a surgeon or let's say we're going to translate really as a a mohal one who circumcises others or a thief or a slaughterer of animals oh or or a circumciser so the blood Letter would be a surgeon the thief is a GH of but who who can kill people oh Slaughter you can be you have free choice right you can either be help Humanity or steal from them you can either uh circumcise people or not even not only that you can koshery is that a word Slaughter animals in a kosher fashion right you don't have to be a murderer so the clear quotes the gamar in Hebrew or Aramaic what happens this person who's born under this the uh the masle the astrologic astrological sign of Mars so that that person um that person will end up being a murderer how can he fix this let him be either a sh a Slaughter of animals or a surgeon so what's behind this V the reason for the matter is as follows this is like the secret of the universe Hashem set into motion nature but he oversees everything but he will not uproot mad right what's a pirate one who overtakes Hashem will not overtake nature unnecessarily for just about anybody but rather what will he do but he will do he will make that manipulation in nature for whom for very special people for those Hashem will act for those who fear Him and consider his name meaning think about Hashem right they want to have a relationship with God people who are interested in a relationship with God Hashem right people who the VAC hem people are clinging to hem people who have a relationship as I said at a time when the word like is basically the Matrix when when the the system of nature is set up to instruct on something negative God will basically change the face he'll turn it around he'll M M turn it around the whole nature the whole system that he set up he'll change it to something else but it has to be similar to right like like we saw the planet Mars is set up where it has this influence on the person on the nature of the person maybe even affects their DNA on some level that they'll be likely to be a murderer or let's say a blood Letter right so instead of being a murderer the person if they fear Hashem and they have a relation with Hashem Hashem will set it up he'll become a moel or a or a sh and we see in Calis that's Ecclesiastes chter 8:5 number three on the sore sheet whoever keeps the Commandment shall know no evil thing no no k n o w no no right in Hebrew what is it first of all it is in singular right whoever is showare showare means observing keeping right keeping the Commandment what does that mean it's in it's in singular Rashi says there well actually let's read the rest of the verse and the Heart of a wise man knows time and Justice in Hebrew the the idea of knowing the times perhaps not just knowing astrology because that is yakar the tribe of yakar they knew the times they knew when to set a leap month and a leap year they knew right but it was more than that when you're really connected with hem you can also hope and I'm GNA say this I'm gonna put myself out there when we talk about ma right people say ma right we say when we doesn't mean good luck it really means what the word ma is an acronym for that you should really be saying and thinking that that person you're wishing Maz to should be in the right place at the right time doing the right thing that's the greatest BR you can have right it's a br not just good luck hello it's right again the word luck probably because it's fixed into the word mazal which seems to imply fate but there's not we we the Jews are the Jewish people are above mael right God took Abraham out of the tent to show him the Stars when he says he take him out of the tent it means that he took him out from underneath the stars and he explained to him that if you connect with me you're above the Stars when it comes to non-jews there's different types of non-jews right we know there's righteous non-jews and non- righteous non-jews so the righteous Jew the righteous non-jews are people who connect with Kadesh with the with the god of Israel with the Y right they could be uh they can also change their masle or be above the masle similar to the Jews and that's why okay that's I was going to say that's why they could be Jewish but anyway way whoever keeps the commandment and by the way the the righteous noahide keeps the Commandment as well they know that the seven laws come fromes at SII it was also repeated at seni let's go back into the clear because that's the last quote some whoever is even the word I just want to tell me about the word Mitzvah okay it's me causitive it's like causing to be commanded right but if you want to look at it another way the word seit is really the root which means a group there's a there's a connection the me causitive causes you to be connected to Hashem by doing a Mitzvah you're you're connecting yourself to Hashem and if you want to look at it even another way mean similar to the word Mitzvah when you look at the word Mitzvah you have a me which I'll explain in a second the v v are the last two letters of God's name the madic you all heard of atbash atbash is another way of doing gatria so the AL if is the same as the T or like in English it would be a equals z b equals y so bash Al equals T be equals Shin so they're like interchangeable the me in the sadic in the atbash is yud so embedded in the word Mitzvah is actually God's Own name and therefore you're not just connecting you're connecting to to the the only reality that there is which is the YK we spoke about this last week he he was is and will be as we said he is time itself and we know that time is connected to the physical world in a big way right you have e equal mt^ 2 without the energy turning into uh the physical you would have no physical world okay so the clear continues 1 2 3 4 5 six lines down so even though the righteous person won't know anything evil right that's what we're assuming here nevertheless the Judgment of the mar the Mish has to be fulfilled nevertheless as we said so that there's blood it could be through uh using it in a positive way inic page 9B it's a very very strange conversation that Rish shim's son elzar had with the children of two converts now these children of two converts happen to be great sages so if you look on number four it's quite a lengthly discussion I don't think I'll do any justice if I try to sum it up but I'll try to go through it quickly so RAB yonatan Ben ASI and rabuda they were sons of converts they approached they they were in in the presence of rabish shimai son and they said to him what are you doing here what do you want with us he said to them my father told me and asked me that you should give me a blessing he wanted me to go to you to get a blessing and this is the blessing they gave him it's like I would say drum roll please because this is no blessing at all may it be God's will that you should sew and not reap that you should bring in and not take out you should take out and not bring in that your house should be destroyed and your lodging places shall be inhabited that your table shall be full of chaos and confusion and you should not see a new year okay great what would you walk away with would you even say Amen would you even say Amen to that BR doesn't sound like to me so he comes back to his father and he said you know not only did they not bless me they actually cursed me they basically caused me a lot of pain with their negative words so the father Strokes his beard as you can imagine the rash be doing says well what did they say to you so he repeated word for word and then he interprets what their words were because they said it in a riddled fashion Mas analogies and that's what he said these are actually blessings uttered in a cryptic Manner and this is really what they meant when they said you should seow and not reap they meant you should bear sons that won't die right before you you know before you die right their statement that you should bring in and not take out means you should bring in Brides for your sons and your son shouldn't die and uh which would obviously caused their their wives to leave your house and when you said you should and when they said you should take out and not bring in they meant you should have daughters and their husband shouldn't die which would cause your daughters to end up returning to you your house when they said that your house should be destroyed and your lodging place should be inhabited they meant this allegorically in the following way as this world is compared to your lodging place and the world to come is compared to your house like it says in Psalms 49:12 their inward now inward thought is kiram which is inside them is that their houses shall continued forever the sages explain remember there aren no vowels and in the in the Tor itself there's even difference between cre and cive the way it's read and the way it's written but they explain don't read it this way as their inward thought but rather read it as K as their graves according to this reading one's grave is considered his permanent house the sages gave rimai Sons a blessing that he should dwell in his temporary home rather than his permanent home meaning he should have a long life in this world and when they said your table should be confused and uprooted they meant that you should be blessed with so many sons and daughters there'll be tons of noise and confusion at your table and when they said that you should not see the new year wait till you hear this one I mean not to see the new year which meant you should not have to marry another woman you know your wife shouldn't die and then you shouldn't have to marry another woman because we all know that the first year you basically are not going to go out of your house well you know at least not in the Army when a man is taken a new wife he shall not go out to war neither shall be charged with any businesses he shall be free at home for one year right that's one of the most difficult times in life called shisha right when two people who are very different very different from each other are finding out much about each other it's worthwhile to build that first year with a lot of a lot of time anyway right amen so this is the idea that he shouldn't have to take more than one wife meaning that his wife shouldn't die so basically the clear car car says like this in Hebrew right this is an Aramaic go buy them for and get a blessing from themule so they said to him it should be God's will the T right you should seed but not Harvest and your house should be destroyed that's just a quote he said to his father these are all blessings right you can ask on this first of all why did they bless him with all these analogies and riddles they could have just blessed them outright without all the riddles ready for this they saw within the right Alazar Shimon that there was some type of judgment and that the nature had to play it out that in some level there was going to be a seating without a harvest and they themselves wanted to turn it around in their own words to create a blessing so they wanted to to turn the curse into a blessing and they wanted they knew it had to be fulfilled but in their way and they said what they said was really a br as Rish Shimon explained where they would not be any damage to his son okay so the clear continues next paragraph so too when the Jews were leaving Egypt Raw that Pharaoh saw with his own ability to read the Stars we're called astrology shal that this particular Planet the star called Mars its name is RA is evil he saw that it was coming up against the Jews in the desert which reflects or IM Intimates that there is some type of murder death coming through the the constellation now the instruction of the star meaning whatever emanating as an instruction from the Star the only way to fix it if you were born under that masle or in this case the Jews coming out being born we were born man and I'm going to use the words born again we really were truly born again we all converted at sini so on our way there we're leaving Egypt in order to be born as a nation that's when our nation was born we all converted and we needed some kind of protection on the way out this is where it comes that Pharaoh himself saw a devastating you know thing in the clouds in the sky so to speak and the only way to fix it would be through because of MIM the influence of Mars was to either be circumcised be or be a A circumciser or Tock to slaughter animals which is also the tun as we see through the PES which he says now either one they're all equal either one make sure you do one of the two the f there is some kind of a doubt whether or not the power the influence of this particular star is actual death oh P of or maybe it's just a type of a wound alone or maybe it has an effect on both but either way it's a doubt therefore in order to fix this doubt you need right we Jews cannot live in doubt we need to solve and resolve every issue therefore since there's a doubt which one do you need do both right that's the Jewish right we have so many doubts we we try to cover all the different all the different opinions so therefore to get circumcised and to do the slaughtering remember Pharaoh says you're not taking the off they're not taking the the animal well that was not sufficient right and we'll see why and this is the reason why God gave these two Mitzvah to the Jewish people the d p right as we're leaving Egypt before we leave you have to do the Passover offering which involves blood and the the circumcision because God wanted to save us from the judgment of nature that he wanted to reverse turn around change the face of whatever the instruction of the masle of Mars was which was and therefore he gave us those two Mitzvah circumcision as he says and the and the and the pesak offering so what's slaughtering to do the ritual slaughtering of the Passover Lamb as well as the circumcision which is now there is a little bit of a hint to this because it says K right in our verse when you go back to uh chapter 10: 10 right our very verse ra he saw K what is key what do you need the word key see that see evils before your faces see that evils before your faces I don't even know if key could be translated that way but the way the the clear and he's explaining it and there's a lot of other people explain it a lot of interesting ways as well that if you look at the word key which is 20 and 10 right cuff is cuff is 20 the yud is 10 that's 30 which is a lamid add the L lit into the word ra just change the order a little bit it'sa so the ol is the circum is the foreskin that needs to be removed so that's the ra that's the Tuma that's part of getting rid of the evil is through getting rid of the Ura and we see that that's the gacha 305 the whole word if you add it up it's the same as same gatria that we were commanded regarding both regarding the pesak and regarding the the the circumcision for what purpose in order to save us from any remember there was a suff a doubt to save us from number one any kind of fatal catastrophe of death as well as P the or any type of blemish or wound wound uh coming uh upon us as we were leaving for the desert um just one very important point when we talk about someone being born under any masle but let's say especially this this one cuz we spoke about the the the gamor that says they're likely to be a murderer right that's really what we meant it means the inclination to be m a murderer it there's all kinds of ways God forbid that one could damage somebody fatally and it's even with their tongue but if it's there's an inclination now it could be and it could very well be that people come from good stock right you might be born under a certain masle but because in your DNA your parents your grandparents they've worked so hard on a certain Meda a certain character trait that it won't even come up right uh it could be that Hashem made it easier for certain people based on their lineage but if someone is born under a particular masle we only mean that there's an inclination towards it doesn't mean one has to necessarily become okay the armar par the last paragraph what was Pharaoh saying ran I see this is what he's saying I see that this particular constellation its name is evil it's coming up to meet you to greet you it's going to greet or let's say encounter all those who are leaving Egypt as I mention we were born again but who who are we we are made up of men women women and children right if that's the case how can we fix this how can we as a people fix these instructions whether it was for murder you to kill us uh fatally or to wound us how could it be fixed so the clear says B I get it it all works out well the anim the men the men is kind you the adult men can certainly be fixed through the cor P the P PES offering and also through the D but what about women and children how can they be fixed how can they have find this protection of course women do not get circumcised so how are they protected and the T they're not going to they're not fit or regular to do a't dark they don't do sacrifices right you have to be an adult that's why Pharaoh said to them he didn't want to send the animals you can see on Rashi right there on that verse that's verse 11 he did not want to send the animals he says let the men go cuz that's what you wanted what are you now asking for more than you originally asked for like he was like breaking it down he didn't want the women he want the children to go he didn't want the animals to go here he says let the men go just let the men go because that's what you want to do you want to be able to fix or redirect uh the instructions of the star you yourself said in chapter 5:3 which is going to play a very important role here it's number seven on the sore sheet this is how Phar this is how Moshe and Aon responded to Pharaoh they said the god of the Hebrews has happened upon us D let us just go on a three-day journey in the desert and what did they ask specifically they wanted to sacrifice but here's the important part why sacrifice specifically the word Yu as we all know in modern Israeli Society a pagia God forbid is a not just a wound we're talking about a a terror attack right it's a strike and to so we didn't want that to happen that's why they asked in the same verse we want to sacrifice by saying we want to sacrifice means you better let our animals come with us because this is what we find as our protection daa they didn't even ask regarding the going they asked regarding the sacrificing does not come back and say because if you just ask to go then Pharaoh would say okay go but once they say we want to sacrifice Pharaoh is going to have a problem with that so they didn't even they didn't even speak about the going right because that's what Pharaoh wanted Pharaoh wanted them to keep their animals here Moses specifically added the word to sacrifice specifically to protect the Jewish people by doing the that was one of the ways to protect the Jewish people from anything bad happening whether it would be uh mortally mortally wounded or or or not that's also why he used the word to strike at least that's talking about the people who were actually leaving Egypt and going and if that's the case Pharaoh is using words from the Tanakh from 2 Samuel 1116 he was saying you know your own words are answering or testifying against you as if Pharaoh was saying you do need to fix some way to redirect the the power of that U star that is perhaps going to cause pestilence or Devastation of some kind with the sword this can only be fixed through the men and Pharaoh was trying to actually say see only the men should go leave the women and children by me as hostages as collateral as a way to make sure that the men don't leave forever so we have some background to this verse right we read the verse I said in the beginning I never really understood what was except through rashi rashi seems to imply and did imply quite clearly that is through some astrological Insight that Pharaoh had about blood about de vastation but now we have a lot more background how we should live our lives the more that we cling to hasem the more we cling to his Mitzvah and his will and are obedient and have faith then we really have nothing to fear and the Jewish people should continue to grow in their faith in the land of Israel and um I'm wishing it not just everyone a great shabas also this is a great month theat and uh it is a new year here right whether it's the first or the 15th however you want to look at it um the trees the fruit thereof and it's going to have a magnificent impact on the rain the rain in erel because the fruits need many fruits are not irrigated and they rely on rainwater mem we should see a I say the late rains in other words we have where they the claim is that majority of the water that's already in the ground is already there and is starting to go up the roots into the roots into the trunk of the tree um but since we do pasin that it's the 15th of shat not the first of shat which is the New Year's let's hope for a good U the late rains the rains that are still coming that we should all Prosper through the G the G and use all of our physical abilities to grow spiritually and with that I wish everyone shabbat shalom and a great life and we'll see you next [Music] week oh now
