P. 654
Hashem promised Bnei Yisrael that if they go in His ways and labor in
the study of Torah, He will shower them with an abundance of wealth,
without their having to go out to battle. The joy of victory in battle is often
marred by the sorrow of losing friends in combat. Furthermore, many
times, the money acquired from the spoils has to be spent on rebuilding
the ruins resulting from the devastation of war. This is not so for those
who go in the ways of the Torah and mitzvot. Hashem grants them
abundance in absolute bliss.
We are obligated to fulfill the chukim of the Torah even if we cannot
understand their reason, just because Hashem commanded us to do so.
Hashem deals with His people measure for measure. When Bnei Yisrael
observe the chukim even without understanding their reason, Hashem
showers them with an abundance of wealth and blessing, leaving them
amazed at their extraordinary good fortune. This transpired when Bnei
Yisrael followed Hashem into the Wilderness without question. Measure
for measure, Hashem treated them with infinite kindness, beyond human
comprehension. # 26347-EYAL-6
