No Fear In The Heart of a Jew | Parsha Shiur Vaeschanan 5786

from Rabbi Moshe Kesselman Weekly Shiurim · host Rabbi Moshe Kesselman

Hashem instructed Moshe Rabbeinu:וצו את יהושע וחזקהו ואמצהוRashi writes that the purpose of this was to assuage any fears that Yehoshua would have that he would not end up going into EY. ‘Just as my teacher was punished so I am destined to be punished…’The Baal Haturim points out that the word וחזקהו appears only in one more place in all if Tanach. It is in Shmuel Bais and it is at the end if the story of Dovid and Bat Sheva. Dovid sends a message to Iyov his chief of staff and the head of his army. Baal Haturim points out that Yehoshua was also the head of the Jewish army. Moshe himself appointed Yehoshua to this position and sis so in order to strengthen him. This Shiur explores the true nature of Yehoshua’s concerns that he would be pinished ‘just like his teacher.’ We also explore some of the difficult elements in the relationship between Dovid and Yoav. Why this in particular was relevant to Yehoshua’s concern. In the end, we emerge with a deepest understanding of Hashem and Moshe’s reassurance.מקורות: פרשת ואתחנן פרק ג׳ פסוקים כ״ג - כ״חפירש״י פסוק כ״ח ד״ה ׳וחזקהו ואמצהו׳ וד״ה ׳כי הוא יעבר׳במדבר פרשת פינחס פרק כ״ז פסוק י״ח פירש״י ד״ה ׳ואשר יביאם… ד״א ׳ואשר יביאם׳ שלא תעשה לו…׳שמות פרשת בשלח פרק י״ז פסוק י״ד פירש״י ד״ה ׳ושים באזני יהושע׳ פירוש בעל הטורים פרשתינו ג׳ כ״ח ׳וחזקהו ב׳ במסורה…׳שמואל ב׳ פרק י״א פסוק כ״ה עיין פירש״י ד״ה ׳וחזקהו׳מדרש רבה במדבר פרשה כ״ג פיסקא י״ג ׳בשעה שכתב דוד ליואב ׳הבו את אוריה…׳מלכים א׳ פרק ב׳ פסוק ה׳ - וא״ועיין זוה״ק ח״ב ק״ז ע״ב ׳וגם לשלמה נודע הדבר…׳ הובא בספר משבצות זהב מלכים א׳ עמ׳ פזתלמוד בבלי מסכת תמורה דף ט״ז ע״א: ׳אמר רב יהודה אמר רב בשעה שנפטר משה רבינו…׳
