Midrash Raba Bo 1 · Rabbi Benjy's Shiur

• 0:00
  Parish, a bar, Madras rubber, another week, another midrash
• 0:04
  that's dies straight in beginning of the parish show we
• 0:07
  have Hashem speaking to Moshe Raabainu Bo El Paro.
• 0:11
  Go. You go to Pharaoh and tell him
• 0:13
  that. What's the next part of the
• 0:15
  story with the plagues? Keani badatyati.
• 0:17
  But I hardened his heart in order to that.
• 0:20
  God would bring about the signs and the wonders and the plagues.
• 0:23
  Ultimately, there's a whole theological lesson going on here
• 0:27
  that Paro must learn the truth of Hashem's reality, the
• 0:31
  presence of Hashem and Hashem's power.
• 0:34
  So the marriage in the opening sections are a little bit
• 0:38
  strange. That's not really the correct
• 0:39
  word, but we're going to put leave that for the moment.
• 0:41
  The third understanding of the opening section said as follows.
• 0:45
  I've hardened his heart. I'm a rabbi Johanna mikan pit.
• 0:50
  Compare la minim Lamar. Here we have an opening.
• 0:55
  The heretics have an opening to say LOI talamano.
• 0:58
  She has said Truva, there was no desire assistance on God's part
• 1:02
  for power to repent because God clearly doesn't want him to
• 1:05
  repent. Otherwise why would he have made
• 1:07
  him stubborn? He didn't give the guy a chance.
• 1:10
  That's not very fair at all. Sad Rabbi Shimon bed Lakish rich
• 1:16
  Lakish back to I'm Rabbi Yokanan.
• 1:20
  He saw 10:00 PM shall mean him. May the mouths of the heretics
• 1:24
  be sealed. Allah him Lalit see him who ye
• 1:27
  lips, ye lips. It's not like they claim.
• 1:30
  Rather the verse says if one is drawn to the those who the
• 1:33
  scoffers, those who make fun of things, he will make him scoff.
• 1:37
  Shaka Dash Baraku the holy, what does Hashem do who much rebel
• 1:40
  but Adam Pan with Shawnashi, God gives us ample warning, time to
• 1:45
  consider, time to reflect. And at a certain point it's game
• 1:50
  over because you've just ignored everything that God is trying to
• 1:54
  bring you towards you, ignoring the signs that ain't no Joseba.
• 1:59
  And if he doesn't turn back from his ways, then not elderly but
• 2:03
  Minachva God locks his heart from repentance in order to
• 2:07
  punish him. Such was also the case with the
• 2:10
  power Kevan Shashiga Khadoshba, who hey pamim God sent him five
• 2:15
  times, set Moshe Rabaenu 5 times in the minister of the plagues
• 2:20
  with warnings, send out the Jewish people so they could
• 2:23
  worship Hashem in the desert. It's really important part.
• 2:26
  By the way, it was never just freedom for freedom sake, so it
• 2:30
  was for a purpose. And Para did not pay any
• 2:33
  attention to Moshe Abeinu and Maura Kadosh.
• 2:35
  Barukhudashem said to him. You have made yourself stubborn,
• 2:42
  his stiff neck and you made yourself stubborn.
• 2:47
  I'm going to add more problems for you.
• 2:52
  Impurity to your own impurity. You've chosen a certain way.
• 2:56
  I'm going to allow you to continue just like that.
• 2:59
  You, you made a bad choice and I'm going to make you PE the vas
• 3:04
  the media of the pasuk kami. I made his heart stubborn, says
• 3:10
  the Madras Mauric Badati. What is meant by this rather
• 3:14
  unusual term Hikbadati, The interesting image coming up.
• 3:19
  Shahsa kadosh bahatlibah khatkaved hazu God made his
• 3:24
  heart like the liver. Shahid MIT pashelechnia in which
• 3:31
  stiffness sets if cooked for a second time.
• 3:34
  It gets too tough and chewy. That's where it gets to gets too
• 3:44
  stubborn. Cachna SE le boschel parocha
• 3:46
  cavettos. So Ferrey's heart was like the
• 3:48
  liver. Cavett means heavy, but it also
• 3:51
  the same word for a liver. But I am a Cabo de Veras
• 3:53
  akadosburg. We wouldn't accept the words
• 3:56
  from hasha. You've got to love the
• 4:00
  gastronomical note in this Madras.
• 4:02
  Most foods breakdown when they are cooked.
• 4:05
  Falling apart. Liver becomes more and more
• 4:08
  chewy. Similarly, instead of softening
• 4:10
  in the face of Hashem's repeated warnings, Para made himself more
• 4:14
  and more stubborn. And this is the mini Ki badati
• 4:18
  at Liba. So I guess if you've learnt
• 4:20
  today, you should go and find yourself some delicious chopped
• 4:24
  liver and have a fantastic day.
