Okay. So, para illuminated for paras and today paras has a lot going on. Um, both of the topics that I plan to speak about relate back to previous recent paras. Um, one of them paras and one of them paras. But we will be talking about para spinas. So uh so in the in the middle of paras we have another counting of the Jewish people seemingly in preparation Jewish people seemingly in preparation to enter the land of Israel. We're now at the end of the 40 years in the desert. We're on the brink of entering although it's going to take a while for us you know as observers to to get there because say for Dvarum which is basically one day takes takes many weeks still. Um but we the Jewish people are on the brink of entering the land of Israel and they count and in the count of the tribe of Ruvane it uh it says as of the tribe of Ruvane it uh it says as follows. This is chapter 26 verse 7. These were had just listed them the families of Ruain. They numbered 43,730. And then it tells us the children of Falu were Elav. Um, okay. Why it's only one child? That's a question. And the children of Aliav were dang. And in case you didn't know who Dan and Aram are, the Torah tells us who these are and the chosen of the congregation who incited against Moshe and Aaron in the assembly of Korak when they incited against the Lord. And what happened in paras says the Torah in our paria
