Parashat sh’lach l’cha
Send men to spy out the land of Kena‛an, which I am giving to the children of Yisra’ĕl
The Torah portion we’re dealing with is probably one of the most interesting and more challenging Torah portions in the whole five books of Mosheh. There are several of these challenging portions and dramatic portions, like the giving of the law in Mount Sinai, chapter 20 of the book of Sh'mot. We are now going to deal with Mosheh, commanded by YAH, to send men of renowned leaders in the camp, to tour the country and to examine the country that YAH promised Avraham to give him as an everlasting possession.
Mosheh did not choose just anybody who wanted to go. He chose the best, the ones with the most talented gifts as presidents of the tribe. That makes the story much more significant. They’re supposed to go, examine the land, peruse the land, scout the land, and bring back a report. In verse 18 of chapter 13, we are told what they’re supposed to do; what they’re supposed to bring. They will look at the land; what kind of land it is? They will look at the inhabitants of the land that live on the land; are they strong or are they weak? Are there few or are there many? This is a strategic examination for somebody who’s getting ready to wage war. He has to know who is his enemy, how much power his enemy has, how many men his enemy has, and what kind of training they have.
Only two people that left Mitzrayim entered the land Kena’an; Y’hoshua, the son of Nun and Kalev, the son of Yephunneh. From among the people that were sent by Mosheh, the presidents of the tribes, only these two had faith. And when they heard what the other ten spoke, they used the customs of mourning for the dead. They tore their clothes in chapter 14, verse six. And they said to the community, to the crowd of the children of Yisra’el, “We have gone and scouted the land and the land is very good! You could say that it is hard. You could say that the people there are big and sons of giants. You could say that they live in fortified walled cities. All true, but the land is good and we can do it. It’s a very good land and we can win it. How can we win it?” Verse eight of chapter fourteen. “If YAH wants us, if YAH brought us to this land, if YAH gave us this land, the land of milk and honey, with YAH, we can do it.”
In our Shabbat teaching, as well as the broadcasting this morning, we alborate on this and learn the lessons YAH also wanted to teach the nation of Yisra’el. Make this an appointment with YAH; you won’t be sorry.
