in the art SC Stone this is one of my favorite in the Torah and you know that because we often don't get past it we're GNA try we're gonna try really hard this year but there are so many different different Torah and what's amazing about this p is you can dissect this P so almost every word of this opening P could be the subject of what is either the or the the no the the P ends see I present before you today a blessing and a curse and the simple interpretation of the PK the simple meaning of the PK is what the PK goes on to tell us the story of what comes next the Jewish people were divided six tribes on this mountain six tribes on that mountain harm har AAL the blessings the curses were recited were articulated the people answered aain it's an interesting question we're not going to get into but you can think about which is why didn't Hashem just keep everybody together one audience deliver one message why do you have to divide them why we're half on this mountain half on that mountain half for the blessings half for the curses what was the message nothing is random or chance nothing is by accident it was an embedded message Hashem had a plan in dividing them into two groups six tribes blessings curses why so the simple understanding of the verse is see I place before you today blessings and curses and then the Torah continues to describe the event har haral can see those mountains today mount aval mount
