[music] Welcome back to this week's EMTT inspire paras we see something which is is a magnificent quality of eu in this para we understand that when the imos were having to trying to have children so we know that everyone was able to conceive except for ra there's an incident that's recorded in which apparently Leia's son Ruv and he's going to the fields to find Ruv and he's going to the fields to find something called dudyim which are a fertility plant and he was going to offer to his mother that she could have more children. Overhears this conversation and she says to Leia that could she please give her those fertility plans. She has not yet conceived and of course so wants to. And there's a dialogue that takes place and it says as follows. It says and went out. He found the these these plants in the field. field. He brought it to his mother said, "Please give me from these fert fertility plants." And Le says back to there, it's not enough that you took my husband and now you also want to take these plants that are used for fertility says, "Let me have them, but we'll exchange nights as it were." This dialogue is very difficult to understand because we look at the story at its inception we understand that really Raul was designated for Yakov and at the last moment Raul has a change of heart and she realizes that if Leia is not going under the hoop love and the father is going to spread that around it's not going to be modest it's going to be embarrassing for Leia and to save Leia that embarrassment [music] and to spare her the this this moment of immodesty that people should talk about
