i'll tell you i'm there's many ways i have personally have explained this madrish but what's relevant to us today is the following madrid says like this review ruby akiva was giving a he was giving a a class a shirt to his students and the students began to doze off nothing has changed in 2000 years wanted to awaken them wanted to wake them up so he said to them to follow him esther what did esther see of the estranged that she was able to rule over 127 provinces tavo esther soro may of the estimation let esther the great great granddaughter of sorry menu who lived 127 years come and rule over 127 provinces 127 provinces so they all woke up what in the world is there a connection between the 127 years of sorrow and 127 provinces of esther except that they're the same number and ruby akiva went on now it's unreasonable to assume that ruby akiva just wanted to astound them with something that made no sense there must be something a message that really akiva was giving them to wake them up that was causing them to doze off let me tell you what i think i think is let me tell you what i think i think is the following we know that because torah is revealed knowledge it's not accumulated knowledge but it's revealed knowledge there's a concept of urethra meaning moshe rabbein who got the torah at harsinai and he gave over what he could to yoshua but inevitably he couldn't give over everything that he had the same intensity so the intensity went down a little bit so yoshua was already a little bit less
