154) \u201cPut away the foreign gods.\u201d These are what they took from Shechem, jewels of silver and gold that their foreign gods were engraved on. They were building other gods from silver and gold, and not Jewels with idols carved on them. And Jacob hid them there so they will not enjoy the idol worship, for man is forever prohibited to enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
155) It is written, \u201cAnd he took the crown of their king from his head\u2026 and it was placed on David\u2019s head.\u201d The children of Amon put their abomination as their king, as it is written, \u201cthe crown of their king.\u201d What is the reason that \u201cit was set on David’s head\u201d? And what is the reason for referring to it as abomination, since it refers to the rest of the idol worshipping nations as \u201cgods of the nations,\u201d \u201cother gods,\u201d \u201cforeign god,\u201d \u201canother god,\u201d but with their king it says \u201cabomination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
156) All the gods of the peoples are idol worshippers, this is what the Creator calls them, as it is written, \u201cand ye have seen their detestable things, and their idols,\u201d and not necessarily \u201ckings.\u201d When the text writes, \u201cAnd he took the crown of their king,\u201d and the idol worship is their king, how was David crowned in her? It is certain that she was idol worship. However, while Ittai the Gittite was an idol worshipper before he converted, he broke from the crown, the idol worship\u2014their king\u2014the shape that was engraved on them and canceled it. By that, he made it permitted, so it would be permitted to enjoy it. This is why David put it on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An idol worshipper has the strength to revoke his own idol worship, and then it is permitted for Israel to enjoy. However, if he flaws and disqualifies the idol worship he had done before, after he had converted, he does not permit it for enjoyment, since then he is considered Israel. for this reason, The<\/em> Zohar<\/em> says that Ittai the Gittite cancelled her before he converted, and was no longer considered idol worshipper. This is why it was permitted for David to put it on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The abomination of the children of Amon was a serpent, carved in a deep engraving on that crown; this is why it was called \u201cAbomination,\u201d meaning filth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 157) \u201cPut away the strange gods\u2026\u201d these are other women, who were taken captive, and who brought all their ornaments with them. It is written about that, \u201cAnd they gave unto Jacob all the foreign gods,\u201d which are the women and all their ornaments, and all the gods of gold and silver, \u201cand Jacob hid them,\u201d meaning the gold and the silver, so they will not enjoy any idol worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 158) Jacob was a whole man in every way, and he cleaved unto the Creator. It is written, \u201clet us arise, and go up to Beth-el.\u201d It immediately writes, \u201cAnd they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods.\u201d This means that one should praise the Creator and thank Him for the miracles and the goodness He has done with him, as it is written, \u201cand was with me in the way which I went.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 159) First, it writes \u201clet us arise, and go up to Beth-el,\u201d in plural tense, including his sons with him. Afterwards, it writes, \u201cand I will make there an altar,\u201d in singular tense, and does not say, \u201cwe.\u201d This excludes them from this rule because it only applied to him. Jacob certainly corrected the evening prayer, which is the correction of the Nukva. And he made the altar, which is the correction of the Nukva, and it was for him to do, not for his sons. And because he suffered all those troubles since the day he had escaped his brother, as it is written, \u201cand was with me in the way which I went,\u201d they came to the world later, once he was rid of these troubles. This is why he did not bring them with him to the correction of the altar, but said, \u201cI will make there an altar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 160) This means that one who had a miracle should give thanks. One who eats bread on the table should bless, and not one who did not eat a thing. This is why Jacob said, \u201cI will make there an altar,\u201d and did not say, \u201cwe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 154) \u201cPut away the foreign gods.\u201d These are what they took from Shechem, jewels of silver and gold that their […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":8230,"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-8245","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-zohar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
