What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

the clothing of the gentile. Says Rashi malbush nachri tachshitei akum the ornaments of the Or the Malbim says hamemunim me'eitz hamelch those who appointed from the king hayu lahem malbushim metzuyanim they have clothing which are distinguished k'minhag hasarim shel ha'amim hasmuchim lahem like the minhag of the princes of the nations that are in proximity of them. Okay. Says Rebbi Yonasan u'fakad'ti and I will visit al kol hadoleg al hamiftan all those who jump over the threshold bayom hahu on that day ham'mal'im beit adoneihem those who fill up the house of their masters chamas with treachery u'mirmah and deceit. Now what does this mean that God will visit punishment on those who jump over the threshold? I don't know about you, but I'm not familiar with the custom of jumping over thresholds. But actually let's become Uh Right. So sometimes Okay, good. So in sefer Shmuel the Targum Yonathan ben Uziel says like this. Pasuk tes, "Ve'asarah al kol hamahalchim b'nimusei Plishtim." "I will visit punishment on all those who follow the nimusim, the dictates of the Philistines." "B'yadon ahi." Now, what was the custom of the Philistines? Rashi? Rashi says, "Hadol al hamiften, Targum Yonathan ben Uziel b'nimusei Plishtim." "They follow the laws of the Philistines." "Shelo hayu darcham al hamiften." "Dagon." "They would not trample on the threshold of Dagon." "Shenemar, "Al kein lo yidrechu kohanei Dagon." What is this referring to? Well, in Sefar Shmuel, it teaches us that when the Philistines captured the Aron and took it into their temple, they took it into the temple of their idol, Dagon. And um what happened was the idol fell on the ground in front of the Aron. So, instead of realizing maybe God has power, they returned it to its place and it fell again and it broke, its head broke, and its two hands were severed
