What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Zera Shimshon’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

so listen to something so interesting about this week's torah portion and this is before we get into the zeh shimshon because anyone who's listening in tonight anyone who's here anyone who's tuning in you're in for a very special treat um on on something that we may take for granted before that this whole story of the king of moab his name is balak okay he despises the jewish people he's not the only we have to say that he's not the only we have to say that however he took it to the next level he said how am i going to beat these people he says okay they're a spiritual people they have a spiritual connection with their god let me fight fire with fire okay let me fight spirituality with spirituality so you know what he does he goes out and seeks to hire the greatest sorcerer the world has ever seen and his name was bilaam the son of beor was bilaam the son of beor the famous bilaam his tongue was so powerful that whatever he said took place any curse that he cursed someone took place he would rent himself out for cursing services and he became very very wealthy doing so so balak and his advisors they say we have to hire the best being a king could afford anything we have to hire the best now bilaam
