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

if you were given a choice between wealth or spirituality which one would you pick well you don't have to actually answer that question if we look in this week's parasha'a parasyad mathumas we see that rauven and god the two tribes of israel had a question for moshe they come to moshe rabbin with a plea can we please stay on this side of the jordan not entering into eretz israel you see roven and god's investment was in cattle that was their business and they found a lot of green land on the other side of the jordan right before eretz israel and they felt this is our livelihood we just want to stay on this side well moses had a problem with that you mean to tell me you're going to let your brothers go into war all alone and fight all those wars and be alone you're going to desert your brothers to which they replied no no our master you're you're you got us all wrong that's not what we want to do we actually will come with you we'll accompany all the jews we'll fight all the wars we'll even wait until all the jews are settled and everything is fine and then we will come back to this side joining our families and our children on the other side of the jordan and they were granted that permission all was fine moshe rabbenu liked the idea okay fine if that's the way you're to do it then fine well all was not fine the midrash tells us that this was something that was frowned upon greatly by khadosh baruch and it was not something that worked out
