go. And then it finishes off "Eileh shmos ha'anashim asher shalach Moshe latur es ha'aretz." These are the names we just listed. "Vayikra Moshe l'Hoshea bin Nun Yehoshua." And Moshe Rabbeinu changes Yehoshua's name from Hoshea to Yehoshua. He adds a Yud. Well known. Now, two questions that Rabbi Leib asks on this. Number one, if Moshe Rabbeinu changed Yehoshua's name to save him from the from the plot of the spies, what because he had concerns, why did he agree to send the spies in the first agree to send the spies in the first place? If he had concerns, then he should have just said no, do not send them. Number one. Number two, why did he only daven for Yehoshua? Why not for Calev? And why not for the other spies? Why change only the name of Yehoshua? So, two very strong questions. If Moshe Rabbeinu had concerns, he should have just said no. And second of all, why did he davka pray for Yehoshua and not for Calev and the others? Now, Rabbi Leib has a beautiful approach to this. Um and in short, he says this. He this. Um and in short, he says this. He he he mentions that the Vilna Gaon writes a safer called "Emunah v'Hashgacha". And in that safer, the Vilna Gaon says that there are three ways that Hakadosh Baruch Hu manifests His divine providence uh in this world. The first way is what he calls "hanhaga nisis", which means overt miracles. Now, that's how Hashem related to us in the midbar. Overt miracles of the Ananei Kavod, the clouds of glory accompany us by day and a cloud of fire at night.
