Shalom everybody and welcome back to insights in the par of the week parach. And it's been an exciting week with the missiles, bomb shelters, the whole world really plating over the Jewish people, the Jewish nation in the Holy Land and what we're going through and we see the unity of the Jews out around the world always connected to us because we're all connected basically. So in the para is something very powerful something very uh a strong strong message. We're going to recap a little. So one of the items in the para is the slander against the holy land which was set forth by the 10 of the 12 spies. Two excluded who remained righteous and did not slander the holy land were Yeshua Binum from the tribe of Ephraim and Khalev Ben Ye the tribe of Judah of Yehuda. The slanderous spies who came back to slander the holy land. They convinced even the Sanhedrin the head rabbis of the generation to also be upset and and to complain to Mosherenu. What did you do to us? you brought us out to kill us. We should die. And then the rest of the Jewish people and they were decreed. There was a punishment set because of this. Even though Mosherenu tried to defend them, still there had to be a punishment set out and met to those who sinned. The verse reads that Hashem says like this. This is chapter 14 the para verse 29. says in this desert because they're on the way to the Holy Land, your dead bodies, your corpses will fall and all of your numbers of how many you are whenever you're counted. In other words, which Jews will fall and die from age 20 and up. And it's age 20 to 60 because it was for 40 years. Anyone
