471) In the beginning, it is written, \u201cFrom every man whose heart moves him you shall take My donation.\u201d Everything is included, even the mixed multitude. Because the mixed multitude made the calf and those among them who died, died, the Creator wanted to make a conciliation with Israel, He told them: \u201cJoin all of you to one side,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel,\u201d themselves. He told them, \u201cMy sons, I want to be in you, My tabernacle will be with you.\u201d This is why it is written, \u201cTake from among you a donation.\u201d From among you and not from another. \u201cI do not want others to have a connection with Me or with you,\u201d which is why all the mixed multitude were destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here, too, they were from the same evil kind, as it is written, \u201cAnd the dead by the plague.\u201d They were from the mixed multitude who married in the tribe of Shimon. The dead from before are certainly dead; they are the mixed multitude, who are called \u201cdead\u201d even in their lives, and not from Israel. This is why he counted them, as it is written, \u201cTake the head of the whole of the congregation of Israel,\u201d meaning pick up their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
472) But it is written, \u201cAnd Israel joined himself to the Baal of Peor.\u201d Israel joined the Baal of Peor as a bracelet that is attached to a person in his adornments. This is how Israel connected to the Baal of Peor. Thus, did Israel also sin and not only the mixed multitude? So it is, \u201cAnd Israel joined himself to the Baal of Peor,\u201d for Israel were not pure of that sin, but were purified from death, meaning that death was not over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
473) It is written, \u201cTake all the heads of the people and hang them.\u201d This means that they were Israel. The heads of the people are certainly the mixed multitude, who are called people, simply. It is not written, \u201cThe leaders of the children of Israel.\u201d Wherever it is written, \u201cpeople,\u201d it is the mixed multitude, as it is written, \u201cAnd the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, and the people gathered.\u201d It is also written, \u201cand there fell of the people that day about three thousand men\u201d; all those were the mixed multitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is written, \u201cAnd Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor.\u201d However, they did not worship the Baal of Peor, which is implied at the end of the text, \u201cand the people ate, and bowed down.\u201d But it is not written, \u201cAnd Israel ate and bowed down,\u201d but it is written, \u201cthe people.\u201d And because it is written, \u201cAnd Israel joined himself,\u201d what is, \u201cAnd the people ate\u201d? It should have written, \u201cAnd Israel ate.\u201d However, that same evil seed, the mixed multitude that the women of Israel were carrying, were the sin of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
474) It is written, \u201cAnd Israel joined himself unto the Baal of Peor.\u201d \u201cTo the Baal of Peor\u201d because all they gave to the Baal of Peor was adornment and power, without knowledge, since the work of Peor was to dishevel himself and emit before him boiling feces. That work was enjoyable to him and made him stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Israel saw it, they thought that they were despising him by that, and ruining him, because it is written with regard to idol worship, Tze<\/em> [go out], tell him,\u201d which is from the word Tzoah<\/em> [feces]. And because of the disgrace of idol worship, Israel disheveled themselves unknowingly. Pinhas atoned for those and removed the plague from them, as it is written, \u201cAnd [Pinhas] made atonement for the children of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 471) In the beginning, it is written, \u201cFrom every man whose heart moves him you shall take My donation.\u201d Everything […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":14056,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[28],"class_list":["post-14905","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
