What’s said in this shiur

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

honestly they were not normal they're midianites right and because of this many of the jews did sin they did they were seduced and they did worship idols and because of that a plague broke out 24 000 jews died in that plague it was horrific it was really bad in all of that pin has been an azabun gets up and he sees what's happening and he takes matters into his own hand he takes a spear or sword takes a spear or sword and and and and kills the head of the the tribe of shimon and the midianite woman that he was with together and makes an example of these two the plague stops that's where we are after that the aftermath of what happened with the midianites and the jews hashem tells ben israel or orders all right it's go time that's not how he said it sometimes i change the wording said it sometimes i change the wording of the torah to sound the torah doesn't actually say like how would you even say it's go time it's time to go to war with the midianites kill them because of what they did to bane israel now this is the part we are the midrash pinpoints this part of the torah the pasuk says so go and avenge so go and avenge from the midianites how does hashem say the midrash says how does hashem say this to moshe who says you have to inflict hashem's vengeance on the midianites baruch hashem said to mosherabenu nikmat bene moses go and avenge the vengeance of bene israel from the midianites meaning the midianites made bene israel sin go
