What’s said in this shiur

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

Terrific. Okay, this is Q& A >> question. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um, so Rashi says that Rashi says that God counted the Jewish people all the time because when you have something you really like, like a treasure, you want to count it, make sure everything's there, right? I think that's what brings down. Once we go into the land to take it, God God just doesn't like us anymore. hasn't stopped counting us. Like why why did God stop counting us at at some at some point counting us at at some at some point between entering? >> I'm sorry. How did it get limited to before they go into the land? >> So we we were counted a few different times while we were in in the by on Sinai and wandering around in in the desert. Um and and Rash says God counted us so many times because he really loves us like we're his treasure. mean not that he counted he commanded us to count ourselves. Is that what you mean? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you would take you would take numbers of us. >> Well, I wonder if that's what Russia >> Well, I wonder if that's what Russia means. We only counted ourselves twice. Okay. >> But the number of people leaving Egypt we didn't count and it's recorded. I would imagine that he's not in restricting himself only to where he commanded us to comm conduct a census. talking about all the number of time all the times where our numbers I mentioned from his point of view and that means that we can't measure anything from the fact that he didn't tell us to count ourselves anymore he could be counting us over and over again even so
