This is why he ordained, \u201cThese are the heads of their fathers&#8217; houses,\u201d to introduce the origin of Moses and Aaron, that they are worthy of delivering Israel and of speaking to Pharaoh, and to torment him with the rod, since in all the heads of Israel, there were none like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>85) \u201cAnd Elazar, Aaron&#8217;s son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bore him Pinhas. These are the heads of the fathers&#8217; houses of the Levites.\u201d Pinhas sustained several thousands and tens of thousands from Israel. He sustained several heads of fathers when he killed Zimri and Cozbi, as it is written, \u201cSo the plague was stopped from the children of Israel.\u201d This is why it writes \u201cthese\u201d about him, in plural form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>86) \u201cThese are the heads\u201d is in plural tense because the loss of the heads of the Levites was found in him. And what they lacked and burnt, he complemented. And he gained their priesthood and the form of both of them was in him, in Pinhas. The loss of the heads of the Levites was found in him. These are Nadab and Abihu, who separated the sign of the covenant,&nbsp;<em>Malchut<\/em>, from its place because they offered strange fire, and he came and connected them. This is why the inheritance and spirit of both of them were given to him. And this is why it writes about him, \u201cThese are the heads,\u201d in plural form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>87) Why is Pinhas mentioned here? After all, the writing brings only the origin of Moses and Aaron. However, the Creator saw Aaron when He said, \u201cAnd I have remembered My covenant,\u201d meaning that Aaron\u2019s two sons would blemish this covenant, and not that He sent him to Egypt to deliver Israel; He wished to remove Aaron so He would not be allowed to go on that mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when the Creator saw Pinhas standing and keeping this covenant in his place, correcting the flaw of Nadab and Abihu, promptly, it is written, \u201cHe is Aaron and Moses.\u201d The Creator said, \u201cNow he is Aaron. He is Aaron of the beginning,\u201d before Nadab and Abihu blemished the covenant, since Pinhas corrected the flaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>88) \u201cHe is Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, \u2018Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt.\u2019\u201d It is written, \u201cHe is.\u201d Should it not have written, \u201cThey are\u201d? However, it is to include them in one another, the wind, which is Moses, with the water, which is Aaron. And when it is written, \u201cHe is Moses and Aaron,\u201d it is to include water, which is Aaron, with wind, which is Moses, since Moses is considered wind,&nbsp;<em>Tifferet<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>, and Aaron is considered water,&nbsp;<em>Hesed<\/em>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<em>ZA<\/em>. This is why it is written, \u201cHe is Aaron and Moses,\u201d and not \u201cthey,\u201d for they are included in one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>83) \u201cThese are
