Thank you. All right, we are live Sunday morning at the Soul Words House broadcasting live to you for another edition of Base. [sighs] You know what today is? All we're learning matis masarim. So first of all interesting in the past every time that there have been uh double Torah portions for us this year it has not been so in lutas. We've had to do two weeks worth of classes in one day. But it happens to be that today it's mate mas. I mean this week it's matis mas in tin pavv and also in the original lutasic base it's also that way. It's mate mas. They're not separate paras in lutias. We're on page 348 of lutis. Matis mas double para and um yeah oh and the other thing I wanted to say is because we're finishing safer midbar that means next week we will start safer para starts off and says these are the journeys that the children of Israel uh through which the children of Israel left Egypt. Journeys plural does haste as that means there were multiples multiple journeys many journeys through which the Jews left Egypt but there's a known question classic question. There was really only one trip that took them out of Egypt to be precise. It was the one jaunt between the locations of Ramses and Sukis. Ramsees was the last uh notable location they left from in Egypt behind the border of Egypt and um Sukis was the first station in the wilderness. So that was really the only jaunt that took them across the border out of Egypt. And as the Reb says here in parenthesis all the other travels, how many other travels were there? 42. So all the other 41 of the 42 were all subsequent to leaving Egypt already.
