TODAYS DAF MENACHOS 30a The seventh & the eighth



 
The seventh & the eighth of אדר

The גמרא ב"ב ט"ו ע"א asks  who wrote the last eight פסוקים
in the Torah (וימת שם משה) and answers two Tirutzim.

The זהר has a third answer. "משה was נפטר
and Hashem brought him back
to life. משה wrote then the last eight פסוקים,
and died again."

The מלבים* has a beautiful  פשט on the פסוק
"תורת ה' תמימה    "-The Torah is complete 
– "משיבת נפש"- because Hashem brought back the 
(נפש (נשמה of משה to write and complete the last eight 
פסוקים in the Torah.
 

*With this זהר we might be able to answer  Tosfos (Menachos 30a)  Kushya.

"How could Moshe have died Shabbos at Mincha time when that year the 7th

of Adar was on a Friday."

It is possible that Moshe died on Friday the 7th of  Adar. He was brought back 

to life and wrote the 13  Sifrei Toras on Friday. He  died again on Shabbos the 

8th of Adar. (אמבצי)

*I couldn't find it in the Malbim

Understood clearly



Parshas שקלים

The סילוק  לפרשת שקלים* starts with "אז"- "then" when
Hashem created the world
------------ראית,וספרתה,והכנת,וחקרת, ומדדת, ושקלת

The קליר uses 39 different words describing all the actions
Hashem did to create the world.

The גאון מוילנא explains that the 39 words represent the
39 מלאכות that was done by Hashem to create the world.

So too are the 39 מלאכות at the construction of the משכן
which the Midrash compares to the creation of the world.

Since כי בו שבת מכל מלאכתו  Hashem rested on Shabbos
from the 39 מלאכות, so too the בני ישראל  must refrain from
the 39 מלאכות on Shabbos.


*The last Yotzer before the Shachris Kedusha (R. E. Hakalir)Parshas  שקלים
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The מדרש תנחומא writes משה רבינו complained to Hashem,
How is it possible to count the בני ישראל? They are like 
the dust of the earth/sand of the sea.
Hashem told Moshe, all he has to do is add the גמטריא of
the first letter of the שבטים (except לוי) and multiply them
by a thousand.


ראובן            200,000
שמעון            300,000             
יהודה              10,000 
יששכר             10,000
יוסף                10,000
נפתלי              50,000
זבולון                 7,000
דן                      4,000       
גד                     3,000
בנימין                 2,000
אשר                   1,000

Total  597,000   = 600,000 minus 3,000 who were killed at the עגל

By knowing this מדרש we will understand the יוצר לפרשת שקלים
"פיוט "אמן בשמעו from the קליר which is based on this מדרש.

By learning the פיוט you will have a better understanding in 
the מדרש because, In the 6th stanza "יקר שלישי בתוכם לא הפקד"
the קליר explains why the third son (לוי) is not included in the
ראשי תיבות count. (The King's Legion needs a separate count)
