honor of His creatures. We should take this message to heart, behaving in
a like manner.

jurisdiction of those who toil in its study. They alone decide the halachah.
This is another indication of Hashem’s respect for His people.

One who killed unintentionally must exile himself to a city of refuge. One
who constantly sins unintentionally will not be able to exonerate himself.
He will be held accountable for his actions, for it is his responsibility to
learn what is permissible and what is forbidden. One should not allow
himself to become accustomed to sinning unintentionally, for this causes
him to sin intentionally. A person should combat his Yetzer Hara, until
he has defeated him completely. This is done through toiling in Torah
study in the Beit Hamidrash. “These are the journeys of the Children of
Israel, who went forth from the land of Egypt
Often, the Yetzer Hara approaches a person on his right side. This means according to their legions, under the hand of
that he disguises himself in the form of a talmid chacham, telling the Moshe and Aharon”
person that for the sake of Heaven, he must behave in a specific manner.

finely tuned to the machinations of the Yetzer Hara, never letting down
his guard and slipping into his net.
