272. so we're talking about this episode of uh yaakovino giving the bracha to Ephraim in Menasha that's where we were yesterday and if you take a look at posix test design the six is eight lines from the top so uh yaakov says um the angel who protected me should bless thee or him and they should be like fish they should proliferate like fish they care about Arts literally because it means in the midst of the Earth so yesterday we had asked the question about why the word vied gularov fish are always the Jewish people always kind of fishes always used as an example of of being uh of multiplying because fish you know they have these they're massive amounts of fish fish got a double broken at the time of creation and then fishy you know they have lots and then fishy you know they have lots and lots of other fish you know and so so that's always the symbol of that's always a symbol of multiplying and we said that the word we would use in English or they should fish if I that was that was the word we should do because we don't have a word in English that that really corresponds to veedule ROV they should proliferate like fish so the question is why the comparison the fish number one number two was the question of the care of our its fish don't proliferate in the middle of the Earth they prolifer in the middle of the sea the fish on the earth generally
