Warm welcome to all listeners. Today, we explore the fifth portion of Bahalosha Hamishi. The journey of the Israelites was marked by the movement of the pillar of cloud. When it began to journey, so did they, with the banner of Judea leading the way. Rashi explains that the tribe of Dan managed the lost and found, ensuring that nothing was left behind, showcasing their diligence.
We also delve into the story of Miha, an idol worshipper whose mission was to draw Jews away from their faith. Despite his actions, Moses saved Miha's life, highlighting the complexities within the camp. In today’s portion, we see Moses interact with his father-in-law, Yithro, a respected Midianite priest and authority on religion. Moses invites Yithro to join the Jewish people on their journey to the promised land, a journey that ultimately spans nearly 40 years.
The portion emphasizes the miraculous nature of their travels, mentioning clouds seven times to signify the presence of seven distinct clouds guiding and protecting them. As we look ahead to tomorrow's portion, we note the intriguing presence of an upside-down backward nun.
