Why would somebody risk and in fact give up their life to prove that you have to keep Shabas? And not only did he want to teach us about Shabas, he wanted to teach us something fundamental about the whole of Jewish observance as we shall see from the story of the Makcoesh, the infamous person who chopped wood on chabas in the desert. That's at the end of this week's par says How come the Torah puts the story of the person who chopped wood on Shabas right next to the story of to teach us that if a person desecrates that is equated to serving idols because Shabas is also equated to all the mitzvah like belief in Hashem and therefore the flip side of it idolatry is comparable to all the mitzvah like we famously say the person who rejects idolatry upholds the whole Torah and vice versa. Now says on the same thing also why are these side by side the chronological place of the story of the chop the wood is at the beginning of the 40 years in the desert right around the same time as the story of the as it appears in our para tells us why did he chop the wood he had a higher intention because after the debacle of the spies said on his lord because as a result of the debacle of the spies they were told they're not going into they thought okay that's it we're not obligated to fulfill mitzvah therefore the mish got up and publicly desecrated so he should be killed and everybody else should see mitzvah are relevant even now and in that context it makes perfect sense why the story of the mush belongs in our parag because our par is all about the debacle
