- מי האיש אשר בנה בית חדש
ת"ר אשר בנה, אשר נטע ,אשר ארש
,לימדה
תורה ד"א שיבנה אדם בית ויטע כרם
ואח"כ ישא אשה
(Sotah 44a)
When going to war the above questions were asked in this
order, to teach us priorities in life Build a house first ,plant a vineyard and
then get married.
The Satmar Rebbe zt”l (Vayoel
Moshe, Lashon Hakodesh 2) says that this Chazal refers to a second marriage. For the first marriage,
marriage comes first, even before Parnasah and housing.
His proof is, The minimum age to serve in the army was 20 years. A
person who
at age 20, isn’t married is a Choteh (sinner) and wasn’t eligible
to go to war.
For a 20-year-old, who never got married, these questions
would not be applicable,
The Pasuk must be referring to someone who was married once
before
at age 18 and is up to
his second marriage.
