                   The king of Moav behaved illogically in refusing Am Yisrael entry into
                   his land. He knew they were forbidden from waging war with his nation.
                   He sought the advice of Bilaam the rasha as to how to eliminate this thorn
                   in his side. And Bilaam, for his part, also acted most illogically. He knew
                   that Hashem would never allow him to curse His nation. Nevertheless, that
                   was what he set out to do. The behavior of these two wicked men should
                   provide us with a lesson in the importance of calculating our deeds.

                                                                                                                                                              (Bamidbar 19:2)

                                                                                                                  “This is the teaching regarding a man if he will
