\u201cRaba said, \u2018Why was David punished? It is because he called the words of Torah \u2018songs,\u2019 as was said, \u2018Your laws were songs to me in the house of my dwelling.\u2019 The Creator said to him, \u2018Words of Torah, of which it is written, \u2018If you blink, it is gone,\u2019 you call them \u2018songs\u2019? I therefore fail you with something that even children know, as it is written, \u2018But he did not give any to the sons of Kehat because theirs was the work of holiness,\u2019 and he came in a wagon.\u2019\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RASHI interpreted \u201cthe house of my dwelling\u201d: When I ran from my enemies and feared them, I played with Your laws and they were to me songs to entertain me. You make me blink and fold, for if you fold your eyes to inadvertently blink from looking at them, promptly, it is gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MAHARSHA: \u201cSongs,\u201d since the singing is in one\u2019s mouth momentarily, while the words of Torah are never to part from one\u2019s mouth so he will not forget them (Sotah<\/em> 35a).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can interpret that words of Torah are Malchut<\/em>, who is called \u201cspeech,\u201d which is faith, and faith must be continuous, for about faith it can be said, \u201cIf you cast your eyes on it, it is gone,\u201d for in a moment, everything disappears from him. Conversely, the Torah is not forgotten in one moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, he was using the laws during the escape, meaning when he had fear, then he was using the fear, and the Creator told him that this was a continuous matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTherefore, I fail you,\u201d since \u201cOne does not grasp words of Torah unless he has failed in them\u201d (Gitin<\/em> 43a). \u201cThey shall carry the work of the Temple on their shoulders.\u201d This is called \u201ca burden,\u201d which they carry on their shoulders, but he placed it in a wagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Agala<\/em> [wagon] comes from the word Agol<\/em> [round], which does not have a top or a bottom, meaning it is an awakening from below. Conversely, straight has top and bottom, depending on man\u2019s work. This is called an \u201cawakening from below.\u201d A \u201cshoulder\u201d means taking on the burden, which is an awakening from below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cRaba said, \u2018Why was David punished?
