Good morning to the magnificent couple. Okay, we have a fantastic idea. The puk tells us that when the Jewish people are trying to get into the land of Israel, the tribes of approach Mosherenu and they tell him, "Listen, this is uh not going to work for us. You guys want to go to Israel? We want to stay in the across the river Jordan, to stay in the across the river Jordan, right? That's it. This is this is the place for us. We have so much uh uh sheep and cattle. This is where we need to stay. Mosher Rabenu is very upset. But the expression that they put across is part of the reason why Mosher Rabenu is upset. They say specifically, we're going to build sheep pens for our cattle and cities cattle and cities and homes for our uh for our children. Um and Mosheu responds and says, "What are you talking about? How could you do this? Don't you know you're going to make uh ruin the the excitement of the Jewish people going to Israel if you don't come? you're going to make people think to themselves that maybe they shouldn't come, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. The Bad say, "No, no, no. Of course, we're coming in. The only thing is after we conquer all of Israel, we want this to be our portion." Moshe
