everybody hope you're all well uh this para of course is the conclusion of yasim that we had to 10 plagues and after 210 years uh the Jewish people are finally taken out of MIM and they travel for seven days they left of course on the day that is the first day of pesak and uh they travel for seven days and on the seventh day uh parro and an army tries to reach them at the Red Sea and then we have the drowning of all of and then we have the drowning of all of the Egyptians the miraculous splitting of the Red Sea of course you know kazal teach us interestingly enough that uh the sea splits in 12 different Pathways every tribe had its own unique pathway imagine a wall of water in which they go around and in fact it is described strangely enough as a semicircular pathway imagine 12 concentric semicircles in which the Jews actually semicircles in which the Jews actually came out on the same side that they entered they walked through these semicircular Pathways Etc and of course that's an interesting point because that means that some tribes had a much shorter trip than some other tribes because by definition if you have 12 concentric semicircles the Inner Circle have has a much shorter trip than the the Outer Circle in fact I once heard many many years ago from a tour guide you know kazal compare making matches marriages
