say: “This is what you did on such-and-such day.” He answers
affirmatively and they tell him to sign his name affirming the םיִלִּהְתּ( רַמָאֶשׁ ,רוּבִּדּ ןַיְנִעְל וּניִצָמֶּשׁ וֹמְכּ ,םֶהיֵלֲע רֵמוֹשׁ
event, as the pasuk states (Eyov 37:7) “The hand of every man
will sign, for He is righteous and just.” He validates the judgment רֵמֹשׁ" :)ג"כ א"כ יֵלְשִׁמ( רַמָאְו ,"ערֵָמ ךְָנוֹשְׁל רֹצְנ" :)ד"י ד"ל
and says “you judged well,” and so too he says (Tehilim 51:6) רַקִּע יוּלָתּ םָדָאָה יִפּ רוּבּדְִבֶּשׁ ,םַעַטַּהְו ."'וֹגְו וֹנוֹשְׁלוּ ויִפּ
“You are justified in Your words and meritorious in judgment.”

It is brought down in our holy books that at the time the Heavenly
Court is judging a person, they open up before him a Sefer Torah הרָיִמְשַּׁה תַבוֹח הֶיְהִתּ לַא ,ןֵכּ לַעְו ."ןוֹשָׁל דַיְבּ םיִיַּחְו תֶוָמ"
and tell him – “Read it with your mouth (i.e., out loud) and they .אָבַּבוּ הֶזָבּ רָשֻּׁאְמ םָדָאָה הֶיְהִיְו ,ויָניֵעְבּ הָלּקַ
ask him questions about every subject (in the Torah). Witnesses
come and testify about him, either for good or for bad. Chazal
have taught us (Gemara Sanhedrin 106b) that HaKadosh Baruch
Hu said to the evil Doeg Edomite, “When you come to those parts רֹמְשִׁל ַח ֹּכ וּנָל ןיֵא :רַמוֹל םָשְׁפַנְבּ ןיִעוֹטֶּשׁ םיִשָׁנֲא שֵׁיְו .י
of the Torah that address the subject of Lashon Hara, how will .םירִָבְדּ הֶזיֵאְבּ רֹמְשֶׁא םִא יִל יַדּ ,םיִטרְָפַּה לָכְבּ רוּבִּדַּה תֶא
you explain them?” I thought carefully about which parshyot
address this subject and I discovered that the Torah is filled with :הּרָָקִּעֵמ תוּעָט יִהוֹז לָבֲא
them, as I explained in the second volume of Sefer Shemirat
HaLashon in the 3 chapter, in the Hagahah. (Please see the
rd

following Hagahah).
םִע אָיְנוּרְטִבּ אָבּ אוּה ךְוּרָבּ שׁוֹדָקַּה ןיֵאֶשׁ ,ַעוּדָיֶּשׁ .א

תֶא ריִהְזַהְלוּ וֹתרָוֹתְבּ אוּה ךְוּרָבּ שׁוֹדָקַּה ןָבְתוֹכּ הָיָה אלֹ
I will list them here since we have added several pesukim
that are dependent upon the power of one’s speech. First and וֹפוֹסְבּ וּניִזֲאַה תַשׁרָָפְבּ ביִתְכִדּ וֹמְכּ .ןָלֻּכּ לַע לֵארְָשִׂי יֵנְבּ
foremost was the Snake of Gan Eden who spoke Lashon Hara יִכֹנָא רֶשֲׁא םירִָבְדַּה לָכְל םֶכְבַבְל וּמיִשׂ" :)ז"מ-ו"מ ב"ל םירִָבְדּ(
against HaKadosh Baruch Hu and in so doing caused everything
rd
in Creation to inevitably die (Sefer Beresheet, 3 perek). In תוֹשֲׂעַל רֹמְשִׁל םֶכיֵנְבּ תֶא םֻ וַּצְתּ רֶשֲׁא ,םוֹיַּה םֶכָבּ דיִעֵמ
perashat VaYetzeh (Yaakov Aveinu said) (Beresheet 28:20) “If אָלֶּא ."'וֹגְו םֶכיֵיַּח אוּה יִכּ ,תאֹּזַה הרָוֹתַּה ירְֵבִדּ לָכּ תֶא
Elokim will be with me and protect me.” Chazal have explained
this as meaning (Beresheet Rabbah, perashat VaYetzeh #70), ירְֵבדְִבּ יִכּ ןֵנוֹבְּתִמוּ ,הֶזָל וֹבִּל םָשׂ םָדָאָה הָיָה םִא ,תֶמֱאֶבּ
“Protect me” from Lashon Hara. In perashat VaYeshev, regarding
the incident involving Yosef, as the pasuk states (Beresheet וּהֶזְו .לָלְכּ וֹל הֶשׁקָ רָבָדַּה הָיָה אלֹ ,ויָיַּח לָכּ םיִיוּלְתּ 'ה
37:2) “and Yosef brought their evil words back to their father.” אָבַּהֶשׁ ,ַעוּדָיַּה יִפְל םַגְו ."'וֹגְו םֶכְבַבְל וּמיִשׂ" :בוּתָכֶּשׁ
This was the initial reason for our exile into Egypt. In perashat
Shemot (2:14) Moshe Rabbeinu said “Now I know the reason .וֹתוֹא ןיִעְיַּסְמ ,רֵהָטִּל
