was that she equated him to other prophets and he (Moshe) did לָכּ וֹרוּבּדְִבּ םָדָאָה םֵצְמַצְיֶּשׁ ,וּנרְַבִּדֶּשׁ יִפּ לַע ףַא הֵנִּהְו
not take offense at all at any of these things, as the pasuk states
(Bamidbar 12:3) “and the man Moshe was exceedingly humble.” ,בֵצָע אוּהֶשׁ םָדָא הֶאוֹר םִא ןֵכ יִפּ לַע ףַא ,לוֹכָיֶּשּׁ הַמ
Nevertheless she was punished with Tzara’at, and by logical אָתיִאדְִכּ ,ויָתוֹגֲאַדִּמ וֹגיִפֲהַלְו וֹבִּל לַע רֵבּדְַל הָבּרַ הָוְצִמ

speak excessively and incredibly (about others). Therefore it is .).ב"כ( תיִנֲעַתְבּ

order not to be trapped in the net of these wicked people and
in their foolishness. This is the style (the way) of a gathering ןירִדְֶהְנַס( ארָָמְגַּה הָשׁקְַמוּ ."םיִעֵבּרִ לַעְו םיִשֵׁלִּשׁ לַע םיִנָבּ לַע
of evil, mocking \ scoffing people. At first they begin talking
about general, empty things, as the text states (Kohelet 5:2) “The םיִנָבּ לַע תוֹבָא וּתְמוּי אלֹ" :)ז"ט ד"כ םירִָבְדּ( ביִתְכּ אָהְו :):ז"כ
voice of fools talks about most anything.” In so doing they will ןֶהיֵתוֹבֲא הֵשֲׂעַמ ןיִזֲחוֹאֶשְׁכּ ןאָכּ ,)ץרֵָתְמוּ( יֵנַּשְׁמוּ ."'וֹגְו
come to speak disparagingly of the Tzadikim, as the pasuk says
(Tehilim 31:19) “Seal the lying lips that speak lies about the .'וּכְו ןיִזֲחוֹא ןיֵאֶשְׁכּ ןאָכְו ,ןֶהידֵיִבּ
Tzadik.” And from this they will become routinely accustomed
to speak against the prophets and to slander their prophecies. .דֹאְמ הֵבּרְַה ןֵה ,רוּבִּדַּה ַחֹכְבּ ןיִיוּלְתֶּשׁ ,תוֹנוֲֹעָהְדּ ַעוּדָיְו
The pasuk describes this as (Divrei HaYamim II 36:16) “They
insulted the messenger of Gd, mocked His words and ridiculed םיִיוּלְתֶּשׁ םיִנָיְנִע הרָָשֲׂע שֵׁיֶּשׁ ,ארֵוֹקַּה יֵנְפִל וּנְעַצִּה רֶשֲׁאַכְו
the prophets.” And from this (inevitably) they will come to speak תוֹבֲאַו ויָתוֹבֲא יאַדַּוְבוּ .תֵע לָכְבּ ןיִיוּצְמ ןֵהְו ,רוּבִּדַּה ַחֹכְבּ
against Elokim and to reject the very existence of Gd. The pasuk
describes this as (Melachim II 17:9) “The Bnei Yisrael fabricated רוּבִּדַּה וּרְמָשׁ אלֹ ןֵכּ םַגּ הָלְעַמְל םֶהיֵנְפִלֶּשׁ רוֹדַּהְו ויָתוֹבֲא
stories against Hashem their Gd which were not so.” ןָטוּעִמוּ ,לֶזֶגְבּ ןָבּרֻ :).ה"סק ארְָתָבּ אָבָבּ( םרָָמֲאַמְכוּ .יוּארָָכּ

Yet he himself (David HaMelech) said (Tehilim 73:9) “They
raised their mouths against Hashem in Heaven while their him, “There is no one here that has earned that merit.” Meanwhile, two
tongues strutted about on the Earth.” Who caused them to raise other men entered the marketplace and Eliyahu HaNavi declared these two
their mouths against Heaven? Their tongues, which first walked men earned the merit of entering Olam Haba. Rebbe Berokah asked them
in the land (i.e., in a gathering of wicked people). This is the “What is your occupation?” They answered him, “We are comedians, men
conversation of the wicked, which encourages (causes) them who make other people happy. When we see someone who is sad, we cheer
to gather together in corners, and the assembling together of them up. When we see people arguing, we work to establish peace between
them” (Note that it is a great mitzvah to pull someone out of his or her
ignorant people, and attending party halls together with those misery and sadness. One who does this fulfills the mitzvah of loving-your-
who drink liquor. But the conversation of righteous Jews is only neighbor-as-you-love-yourself. This action greatly pleases HaKadosh
in the context of Torah and wisdom. Therefore HaKadosh Baruch Baruch Hu. The analogy is one who has a son in a distant city who is
Hu strengthens their hand and gives them merit through it, as the overwhelmed by sorrow and suffering. The father most certainly yearns
pasuk states (Malachi 3:16) “Then those who fear Hashem spoke to find, at the very least, a man who will comfort and befriend his son
and work with him to pull him out of his sorrow so that he won’t become
to one another and Hashem listened and heard, and a book of sickened by his troubles).
