[snorts] Today we're going to learn a fascinating rashi that explores Asov's dishonesty. The question is what does Asov's dishonesty consist of? And we'll see the words that Rashi chooses are precise for the message that he wants to give us. Let us begin. The says that the lads grew up meaning as was a hunter, a man of the field. Rashi quotes the words he knew how to hunt. Farish explains, [snorts] "Not only did he know how to hunt in the literal sense, but it means he knew how to trap and deceive his father with words." He would ask him, "Father, how does one tithe from salt or from straw?" This made his father think that he's meticulous with mitzvah. What does this mean? Learn. So the basic explain the fact that asked about salt and straw is because salt and straw are exempt from messer even because messer has to be things that grow in the ground and mel of course doesn't grow in the ground. salt and even if even even straw it does come from the ground but it's not edible it's not something that's used for food and therefore it's exempt from messer so as would ask about something that wasn't wasn't obligated from and with this as would prove that he is so meticulous with mitzvah that he's going beyond the letter of the law and he's bringing messer giving messer even for things that are exempt from messer.
