G-d consented, and Moses directed the 12 chosen spies to determine the strength of Canaan\u2019s inhabitants and the quality of the land. After 40 days, the spies returned, and ten of them reported, \u201cIt is a land of milk and honey\u2026however the people are very fierce, and the cities are large and well fortified.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, Caleb, the 11th spy, cut them off proclaiming, \u201cWe should go up immediately and occupy the land because we can surely prevail!\u201d The spies, however, insisted that the land couldn\u2019t be conquered because its people were too powerful. Accepting this gloomy report exposed the nation\u2019s lack of faith, and G-d condemned them to perish during 40 years of wandering in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poich\u00e9 Dio aveva approvato la missione di ricognizione, \u00e8 difficile comprendere la Sua dura reazione alla valutazione delle spie. Inoltre, cosa provoc\u00f2 la severa reazione di Caleb dopo il rapporto iniziale delle spie? Stavano semplicemente riportando le loro scoperte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Il Midrash descrive coloro che disperavano per la terra come una &quot;generazione sottosopra&quot; (Numeri Rabbah 16:5). Il Rebbe di Lubavitch spieg\u00f2 che l&#039;errore delle spie fu quello di invertire l&#039;ordine di ci\u00f2 che Mos\u00e8 aveva chiesto loro di determinare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moses\u2019 focus was on carrying out G-d\u2019s will that the land of Canaan be conquered, so he directed the spies to the first report on the strength of its inhabitants. When the spies returned and began to describe the quality of the land, Caleb suspected that their interest centered on the material benefits of Canaan. He feared they would weigh the effort and danger needed to take the land versus the potential payoff and decide that the project was not worthwhile. Hoping to nip them in the bud before spreading their seeds of doubt to the people, Caleb hastened to silence the spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident of the spies is followed in the Torah by the commandment to attach tzitzit, ritual fringes, to the corners of a garment. The connection between these passages is not simply their proximity. The Torah uses some form of the word latoor 11 times in describing the mission of the spies. Significantly, the Torah uses this same word to describe the effect of looking at the tzitzit, \u201c\u2026You shall not go astray (tatooroo) after your hearts and after your eyes\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondo il rabbino Mendel Lewittes, la Torah afferma qui che il peccato \u00e8 un processo. Spesso si d\u00e0 per scontato che i nostri occhi siano catturati da qualcosa e che poi il nostro cuore inizi a desiderarlo. La Torah sostiene, tuttavia, che il processo inizia nel nostro cuore (i valori pi\u00f9 intimi), che condiziona ci\u00f2 che i nostri occhi percepiscono. Due persone vedono un oggetto di valore smarrito per strada; una lo considera una mitzvah e cerca di trovarne il proprietario, mentre l&#039;altra lo vede riempirsi le tasche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with the spies stemmed from how they viewed the land of Israel. Moses, Caleb, and his colleague Joshua were focused on implementing G-d\u2019s plan for the Jewish people to conquer it. Therefore, their concern was to determine how strong its defenders were in order to formulate a plan of attack. The other spies viewed the land as a potential source of material benefit, and so they concentrated on its qualities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commandment of tzitzit addresses the spies and all who err like them \u2013 attitude affects perception. The faith of the spies slipped because they placed self-interest above the will of G-d. The tzitzit calls us to cast our gaze on them, draw us to meditate on the path of Torah, and gently guide us to envision the world in line with the Divine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Di Rabbi Michael Skobac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/verse%20from%20tanach\/\">Segui il link per altri \u201cVersetti di Tenach\u201d<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/michael.skobac\">Altro sul rabbino Michael Skobac<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, tutti i diritti riservati.
