Okay, the book of judges uncensored episode two. Just to recap, yesterday we spoke about the difference between a chauffeet and a melik. We said that Barbadell said that there are five ways that they're similar the is similar to a meal and five ways that a chauffet is dissimilar from a meal. We didn't discuss yesterday what about what was status. So is he a mel or a so there's actually an explicit gumar about it in the gar says the merid in the gar says the merid hadic status of a meal. So that's an interesting point and then the question is what about Yeshua was Yeshua like a chop or a meal and I wrote a whole essay about this but it's not so clear there's there's proofs both ways but uh leave it at that. Yesterday we mentioned about this idea of sephokim being like a roller coaster where the Jews would descend all the way down into the depths of sin doing and being influenced by the glame and then afterwards Hashem would send a chauffe afterwards Hashem would send a chauffe and he would bring a religious renewal that start going up and up and up and then they would come crashing down again. So I didn't get into the idea of what is what does it mean that they were worshiping a vazara in the times of the shaft. Does it mean that they were worshiping other gods instead of the one god? Does it mean they were worshiping them alongside Hashem? Does it mean they were worshiping idols as a way of representing Hashem and they were really trying to worship Hashem through those idols? So those are very interesting questions that I discuss in this really awesome book that I'm trying to sell for
