ืฉืืื we're going to learn today is in ืืืง ื"ื, ืคืจืฉืช ืืืื, the first ืฉืืื. It is a pretty long ืฉืืื, but the ืชืืื is a very interesting ืฉืืื. The ืจืื starts the ืฉืืื by bringing the ืคืกืืง "ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื ืฉืืข ืขืฉืจื ืฉื ื". ืืขืงื lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years. "ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืงื", and the days of ืืขืงื, the ืคืกืืง, the ืคืกืืง continues, was 147 years. That's what the ืคืกืืง tells us. ืคืจืขืื ืืขื, so the ืืคืจืฉืื ask, the ืืืฉืื, the ืืืจ ืืืืื, ืคืืจ ืืืืก ืืืจืฃ ืื ืชืืจื ืฉืจืืืื ืืคืืจืืฉ ืื ืฆืื ืืืจื ืืืืก ืืขืงื ืืื ืืขืืขืื ืืื ืืฆืจืื? Why does the ืชืืจื have to specify clearly the amount of years he lived in ืืฆืจืื? ืก'ืฉืืืื ืืื ืฉืืื ืืื ืืขืจ ืคืจืืขืจืืืงืขืจ ืกืืจื, it says in the previous ืกืืจื, ืื ืงืืืขื ืืืง ืืื ืืฆืจืื ืืื ืขืจ ืืขืืืขื "ืืื ืฉื ื ืืืืจื ืฉืืฉืื ืืืืช ืฉื ื", that when he came in ืืฆืจืื he said, "I'm 130 years old." ืืื ืืื ืืขื ืคืกืืง ืืืคื ืืืื ืื ืชืืจื, and in the same ืคืกืืง the ืชืืจื says, "ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืงื ืฉื ื ืืืื ืฉืืข ืฉื ืื ืืืจืืขืื ืืืืช ืฉื ื", that the whole life of ืืขืงื was 147 years, ืืื ืืืื ืคืฉืื ืคืืจืฉืืขื ืืืขื, from that we understand, ืื ืืื ืืฆืจืื ืืื ืขืจ ืืขืืขืื 17 ืืืจ, in ืืฆืจืื he lived 17 years. 17 years. ืืื ื ืคืงื ืืื ื ืืืืกืฆืืืืืื ืืืืื ืืขืจ ืืขืงืืก ืืืจื ืืื ืืฆืจืื? What's the purpose, why is it important to mention the 17 years in ืืฆืจืื specifically? Since we know from before he was 130 when he came to ืืฆืจืื and the ืคืกืืง further says that he was 147 when he passed away, so obviously we know he lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years.
Why does the ืชืืจื have to specifically write that he lived in ืืฆืจืื for 17 years? ืืืืืื, on the other hand, ืืืื ืืข ืืื ื ืืขื ืฉืืื, ืืืื ืื ืชืืจื ืืืืกืืืืื ืื ืืืจื ืืืืก ืขืจ ืืื ืืขืืขืื ืืื ืืฆืจืื, if for some reason the ืชืืจื feels it wants to mention specifically the amount of years he lived in ืืฆืจืื, then we have an opposite question. And before I read it inside, I want to say what the question is. Then it didn't have to say how old he was when he passed away. ืงืืื ืขืก ืืื ืืืืฉื ืฆื ืืขืจ ืคืจืืขืจืืืงืขืจ ืกืืจื ืื ืขืจ ืืื ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืง"ื ืฉื ื. This comes ืืืืฉื to the previous ืกืืจื where it says he lived for 130, he was 130 years old. And now if the ืชืืจื is going to add that he lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years, if the ืชืืจื wants to specifically write how many years he lived in ืืฆืจืื, ืืื ืืื ืืืืขืจืืง ืืืืืจื ืฆื ืืขืื ืืขื ืกื ืืื ืคืื ืืืื ืข ืืืจื. So it's extra to give the sum total. If the ืชืืจื would say that he lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years, that would be enough. Because we know before that he was 130 when he came, another 17 he lived in ืืฆืจืื, so we know that he was 147 when he passed away. ืืขืจ ืืฉืืื ืืื ืงืืืจ ืคืื ืืื ืืืืื. The ืืฉืืื is clear, the counting is clear on its own. ืคืืจืขื ืืคืขืจื ืืคืจืฉืื, so ืืคืจืฉืื answer like this: ืื ืคืืจืืืืื ืื ืชืืจื ืืืืก ืื ืฆืื ืืืจื ืืืืก ืืขืงื ืืื ืืขืืืืืื ื ืืื ืืฆืจืื, the reason why the ืชืืจื specifies the amount of years that ืืขืงื lived in ืืฆืจืื is, ืืื ืืืื ืืขืจืืืฃ "ืืืื", and it says the word "ืืืื", he lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years, ืืืืื ืื ืง"ื ืฉื ื ืืื ืืขืืืื ืืขื ืขื ืืื ืืขืงื ื ืืฉื ืืขืืืขื ืืขืจืขืื ื ืคืืจ ืืืจื ืคืื ืืขืื, because the years before that, before he got to ืืฆืจืื, the 130 years is not counted years of life, living. ืืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืืื, the reason is, ืืืืื "ืจืขืื ืืื ืืื ืฉื ื ืืื", as ืืขืงื told ืคืจืขื when he visited ืคืจืขื, bad were the days of my life, ืคืื ืืื ืขืื ืืื ืื, full of hardships and sighing and trouble. ืคืจืืขืจ ืืืื ืื ืืืืืคื ืคืื ืขืฉื, first he's crying to run away from ืขืฉื, ืืื ืืืื ืืขืคืื ืขื ืืื ืืื ืืื ื, then when he was by ืืื, was "ืืืื ืืืื ื ืืจื ืืงืจื ืืืืื", he said that the day it was hot and cold at night, ืืชืื ืฉื ืชื ืืขืื ื, I didn't sleep at night, all kinds of problems. ืืืื ืืืืืืขืจ, and further, ืืื ืฆื ืืืืจืช ืืืกืฃ, then when ืืืกืฃ was sold. So all these years were years of hardship. You can't really call that he really lived a proper life.
ืงืืืขื ืืืง ืืืขืจ ืืื ืืฆืจืื ืืื ืขืจ ืงืืื ืฆืจืืช ื ืืฉื ืืขืืืื. When he came to ืืฆืจืื, he didn't suffer any problems. ืคืืจืงืขืจื, ืขืจ ืืื ืืืจื ืืขืืขืื ื ืืขืื ืคืื ืฉืืื ืืื ืืื, he lived there a life of peace and calmness, ืืืฆื ืืืง ืืื ืืืื ืืืจืฅ, living in the best of the land, ืืขืขื ืืืง ืื ืืืข ืืืื ืข ืงืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืขื ืืื ืฅ, seeing that all his children are complete, ืืื ืืืกืฃ ืืืก ืืฉื ื ืืืื, ืืืกืฃ he saw him as a ืืฉื ื ืืืื and he's still complete. ืืื ืคืืจ ืืืก ืขืจืฉื ืืขืืืื ืืขืืืขื "ืืืื ืืขืงื". Then was "ืืืื ืืขืงื". So this answered one part of the question: Why does the ืชืืจื specifically want to specify the years that ืืขืงื lived in ืืฆืจืื? To tell us "ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื ืฉืืข ืขืฉืจื ืฉื ื", that the 17 years in ืืฆืจืื, those were alive. So the ืชืืจื wanted to tell us special about these 17 years that they were the real life, not like the other years. But then the question comes up, so okay, so the ืชืืจื should have said that he lived 70 years, 17 years in ืืฆืจืื, and not say that he was 147 when he passed away, because that we know ourselves. Since he was 130 when he came, and the ืชืืจื will tell us he lived 17 years in ืืฆืจืื, we know he's 147. So then he continues, the ืืคืจืฉืื say like this, ืืื ืื ืชืืจื ืืื ืืืื ืืืข ืืืื ืข ืืืจื ืฆืืืืืขื ืืื ื ืกื ืืื ืคืื ืื ืงื"ื ืฉื ื. In addition, although the ืชืืจื counts the 17 years in ืืฆืจืื to tell us that was his real life, then the ืชืืจื also puts all the 147 years together ืืื ืฆื ืึธื ืืฒึทืื, to show with this, ืึทื ืื ืืขืฆืืข 17 ืืึธืจ, ืื ืืืื ืืึธืจื, ืืึธืื ืืขืืึทืื ืคึฟืึทืจืืขืกื ืืขื ืฆืขืจ ืืื ืขืืืช ื ืคืฉ ืคึฟืื ืื ืึทืืข ืคึฟืจืึดืขืจืืืงืข ืืึธืจื ืืืื ืข.
The last 17 years made him forget the suffering that he had all the previous years, ืืื ืืื ืืึธืื ืึทืืข ืืืืกืืขืืขื ืืื ืืืืข ืืึธืจื. This made them all look like good years. ืืืื ืฉืืืื ืืืืื, they're all equal ืืืืื, as ืจืฉืดื says in many places that when you say all the years together it shows that they're all good. So that's what the ืคืกืืง, that's why the ืคืกืืง does both. The ืคืกืืง wants to specify the 17 years in ืืฆืจืื to tell you that was ืืืื ืืขืงื, that's his real life. And ืชืืจื also puts all the years together, that he was 147 when he passed away, to put them all in one unit. That because he had these 17 good years, that made that all the years from before, that were not good living years, which means full of ืฆืขืจ, they are all good because it made him forget the previous ืฆืขืจ that he had, and now as if his whole life was good. That answers the ืงืฉืื. ืขืก ืืื ืึธืืขืจ ื ืึธื ืึทืืฅ ื ืื ืืืึทื, it's still not simple. ืืืช ืืึทืงืข ืึทื ืืืืืึทืื ืื ืืขืฆืืข ืืึธืจื ืืขื ืขื ืืขืืืขื ืืืืื, ืืึธืื ืืื ืืขืงืึฟื ืึทืืื ืคึฟืึทืจืืืืืงื, true, that because the last 17 years were good, so they appeased ืืขืงื, they compensated ืืขืงื, ืืื ืฆื ืืึทืื ืืื ืคึฟืึทืจืืขืกื ืื ืืกืืจืื ืคึฟืื ืึทืืข ืคึฟืจืึดืขืจืืืงืข ืืึธืจื, so, so much so that he forgot the pain, the suffering that he had in the previous years. That's only ืืืื ืืขืงืึฟ'ืก feeling. ืืื ืงืขื ืึธืืขืจ ืืืกืืฃ ืืฒึทื ืึท ืกืึพืืึผื, how can we make them all together, the ืชืืจื adds a complete sum total, ืืืึธืก ืืื ืืึทืืืึผืกื, a total that we know already. Nevertheless the ืชืืจื went out of its way to tell us the total, ืืื ื ืื ืืื ืืืืืฉ ืฆื ืืฒึทื ืึทื ืืืื ืฉืืืื? For the purpose of saying that they're all equal? When even though he ืืึทืงืข forgot, as far as the years are concerned they were not equal. Just ืืขืงื, the last 17 years, he felt that he was compensated for the years before. ืืื ื ืึธื ืืขืจ, not only are we telling you that they're all the same, ืืืื ืฉืืืื ืืืืื, they're all good the same. ืืฉืขืช 130 ืืึธืจ ืืขื ืขื ืืขืืืขื ืืขื ืืจืขืื, 130 years which is the mess- the main majority of his year were small, not counted as a real life and bad, the opposite of good, ืืื ืื 17 ืืึธืจ ืืขื ืขื ืืขืืืขื ืืืื, ืชืืืืช ืืืื ืืืืืื, and the 17 years were good. So can we ืืึทืงืข say that ืืขืฆื the years, all the other other 130 years were really good because of the last 17 years? In other words, ืืืื ืืขืงื you can say it, but when the ืชืืจื puts it, in a special extra which the ืชืืจื really didn't have have to do it, when the ืชืืจื puts it, can you say that it's to show that they're all good ืืขืฆื, these 17 years are good? There must be something more here. ืืื ืืึธืก ืฆื ืคึฟืึทืจืฉืืืื, the Rebbe says, we'll understand it ืืืจื ืืืจืจ ืืฒึทื ืืืจื ืืืืจืฉ, first to explain the words of the ืืืจืฉ, ืืื ืคืืจืฉ ืจืฉืดื, and what ืจืฉืดื says in an anfanger seder, in the beginning of a seder, ืคืจืฉืช ืืืื. The ืืืจืฉ says, the ืืืจืฉ says like this: ืืื ืคืจืฉื ืื ืกืชืืื ืืื ืืคืจืฉืืืช ืฉื ืชืืจื? Why is this ืคืจืฉื stuffed up so to speak, more than the other ืคืจืฉืืืช of the ืชืืจื? Which means like this, between every ืกืืจื there's a extra space. Between the end, the last word, the last letter of a ืกืืจื and the beginning of the next ืกืืจื there's a space of quite a few letters. Between the end of ืืืืฉ and the end of ืืืื there's nothing special, that's ืืืฉ the same way as if there's this the same space between one word and another, that's all, not more than that. So the ืืืจืฉ asks, why is this ืคืจืฉื ืกืชืืื, ืกืชืืื means stuffed up, there's no opening there. ืืื the answer is, the ืืืจืฉ says like this, three answers: Number one, ืืืืื ืฉื ืคืืจ ืืืจืื ืืขืงื ืืืื ื ืืขืงื, ื ืกืชืื ืขืื ืืื ืืืื ืฉื ืืฉืจืื, that from when ืืขืงื, our father ืืขืงื passed away, the ืฉืขืืื, the hardships of ืืฆืจืื, of the Egyptian ืขืืืืช started. That's why it means stuffed up, it stuffed up the ืืึดืื. And since ืืขืงื passed away that's when the ืฉืขืืื started, so by end, when it talks about in the ืกืืจื about the passing of ืืขืงื, it's ืกืชืืื, that's one ืชืืจืืฅ. ืืืจ ืืืจ, another ืคืฉื, ืืื ืืื ืกืชืืื, why is it stuffed up, why is it closed up? ืืคื ื ืฉืืืงืฉ ืืขืงื ืืืื ื ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ ืื ืกืชื ืืื ื. ืืขืงื ืืืื ื wanted tried to reveal the end of times when ืืฉืื will come and it got stuffed up from him, he got it got forgotten from him. And ืืืจ ืืืจ, another ืคืฉื, ืืื ืืื ืกืชืืื, why is it closed up? ืืคื ื ืฉื ืกืชืื ืืื ื ืื ืฆืจืืช ืฉืืขืืื, because when he was in ืืฆืจืื, all the ืฆืจืืช he had in the world were stuffed up or taken away. Here there were no ืฆืจืืช whatsoever, all the ืฆืจืืช were taken away. The Rebbe explains what this means. ืื ืงืฉืื ืืื ืคืจืฉื ืื ืกืชืืื ืืืื ื ืึท ืคืฉืื, when the ืืืจืฉ asks why is this ืคืจืฉื closed up, means very simple: ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, a simple ืคืฉื. ืืึธืก ืืืึธืก ืขืก ืืื ื ืืืึธ ืงืืื ืจืืื ืคึฟืึทืจ ืื ืืืขืจืืขืจ ืืืื ืืขืงื, which is the beginning of the ืคืจืฉื. ืืืืืึทืื ืึทื ืขืก ืืืืื ืืื ืึธื ืึท ื ืฒึทืข ืกืืจื, it's a new ืกืืจื, so there should be a space. So the question is, why is there No space. ืืื ืคืืจืฉืืื ืืืง, ืื ืื, ืืื ืืื ืืืข ืื ืืขืจืข ืกืืจืืช ืคืื ืืขืจ ืชืืจื, so it's self-understood that just like all other ืกืืจืืช of the ืชืืจื, here too, ืืืจืฃ ืืืื ื ืืคืกืง ืคืืจ ืืขืจ ืืชืืืช ืืคืจืฉื ืคืื ืืืื ืืขืงื, there should have been a space in between. So the
ืืืจืฉ asks, why is there no space? And then the ืืืจืฉ gives three answers. ืขื ืคื ืื "ื, ืืื ืืื ืืื ืฆื ื ืืฉื ืคืืจืฉืืื ืืืง, but based on what we said before, it's not understood. What's not understood? The ืกืชืืื ืคืืจ ืื ืคืืจ ืื ืืืขืจืืขืจ ืืืื ืืขืงื The fact that before the words ืืืื ืืขืงื it's closed up, there's no space, ืืื ืืืืืจื ืฆืื ืืืข ืขืจืฉืื ืืขืืืจืคื ืื ืืืืื ืืืืฃ ื ืกืชืืื ืืืืื ืืืืขืืืืชื. First and foremost, it's supposed to hint to some closing for good. ืืืืก ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืื ืืขืืขืจื ืืื ืืขืงื. Since the ืคืจืฉื is going to start with ืืืื ืืขืงื, ืืขืงื was living, and he lived good years, and there is a ืกืชืืื right before that, so, ืืคืฉืืืช, that ืกืชืืื, that closing up, must be some hint for something good that happened to ืืขืงื. ืืืืื ื, ืืืก ืืืืก ืืขืืืื ืืื ื ืกืชืื ืืื ื ืื ืฆืจืืช ืฉืืขืืื The third ืชืืจืืฅ of the ืืืจืฉ says that this means it stopped up all the ืฆืจืืช, that will be the simplest ืคืฉื why before ืืืื ืืขืงื there is no space, it's closed up. So the question is why isn't that the first ืชืืจืืฅ? ื ืื ืฉืืืจืงืขืจ ืืื ืื ืฉืืื, The ืฉืืื is stronger. So far the ืฉืืื is, the first ืชืืจืืฅ should have been that they stopped up all the ืฆืจืืช, because it says ืืืื ืืขืงื, and there's a ืกืชืืื before that, something that has to do with ืืขืงื's life. And that is the third ืชืืจืืฅ, that ืืขืงื's life became completely without ืฆืจืืช. But the ืงืฉืื is even stronger. ืืืื ืคืืจ ืืขืจ ืกืชืืจื ืกืชืืื In ืืืืฉ, before this space which is supposed to be empty and it's not, which is the end of ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ, ืืขืจ ืกืืื ืคืื ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ, ืืขืจืฆืืืื ืืืขืื ืืขื ืืขื ืืืื ืืฆื ืืืืื ืคืื ืื ื ืืฉืจืื ืืื ืืจืฅ ืืืฉื. What are the last words in the end of ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ? about the good life the ืืืื had in ืืืฉื. ืขืก ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืื ืืืคื ืคืื ืืืคืจื ืืืจืื ืืื, that it was in a way that they multiplied a lot. So like this, the end of ืืืืฉ talks about the good. If so, ืืืฉืขืช ืืขืฉื, ืืืืื ื ืื ืืขื, ืื ืฉืื ืืคืกืง, ืืขืจืฆืืืื ืืขืจ ืคืกืืง ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื And since right after that ืคืกืืง that talks about the good that happened to the ืืืื, there is no separation, there's no ืืคืกืง, and right away comes ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื, he lived in ืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื, ืืื doch ืื ืกืืจื ืืืืื, so the ืกืืจื tells you, ืื ืืขืฆื ืืืจืฃ ืื ืกืชืืื ืื ืื ืืืจื ืืขืจ ืกืชืืื ืืืื ื ืื ืชืืจื ืฆื ืืืื ืืืื, that by closing it up, the ืชืืจื wants to stress, ืื ืืืื ืืขืงื ืงืืื ืืกืืืืืช, ืื ืงืืื ืืคืกืง ืืื ืืืื ืชืืื ืืื ืืขืืข ืืืื ืกืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืคืจืืขืจืืืงืขืจ ืคืจืฉื. When we say there is no separation, that means that ืืืื ืืขืงื is comes ืืืฉ in one ืืืฉื to what it said before. What it said before is how good the ืืืื lived. And then it says ืืืื ืืขืงื without any separation, must be that this is an ืืืฉื to what the good things that happened as the ืชืืจื says in the end of ืืืืฉ. ืืื ืคืืจืืืืก ืงืืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืคืื ื ืกืชืื ืืื ื ืื ืฆืจืืช ืฉืืขืืื ืืื ืืืจืฉ ืืืก ืืขืฆืืข ืคืื ืื ืืขืืื? So why is this ืคืฉื that the reason it's closed up, to tell you that when ืืขืงื was in ืืฆืจืื, all his ืฆืจืืช were closed up, that's the last ืคืฉื? ืืื ืื ืขืจืฉืืข The first ones, ืืืก ืืืืกื ืขืืงืจืืืงืข, which automatically means that they are more important, special better ืชืืจืืฆืื, ืืขื ืขื ืืขืืื ืืืืฃ ืืืืฃ ืกืชืืืช ืืคืจืฉื, and which are the other reasons on the closeness, why the ืคืจืฉื is closed, ืืขื ืขื ืืืจ ืขื ืื ืื ืขื ืื ืื ืืืคื ืคืื ืืืคืจื ืืื ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื. Those are negative things. One thing is that they started having ืฉืขืืื ืืฆืจืื. The other thing is that ืืขืงื forgot the ืงืฅ. These are negative things. So it comes out like this. The ืคืกืืง tells us in the end of ืืืืฉ how things were good for ืืขืงื, for ืืืื ืืืื. Then the ืคืกืืง after at the beginning of ืืืื says also how ืืขืงื's life was in ืืฆืจืื good life. And in the middle, there's a close, it's closed. Why? To tell you something negative. How does that make sense? The first thing should be the closeness should be that tells you a ืืืฉื. And the other ืชืืจืืฆืื should maybe also be ืชืืจืืฆืื, but why is not the first ืชืืจืืฅ the good one, that this shows that by ืืขืงื, all his ืฆืจืืช were taken away? ื ืื ืืขืจ ืืื ืฉืืืขืจ ืืื ืคืืจืืฉ ืจืฉืดื ืขื ืืชืืจื. This is a ืงืฉืื the way the ืืืจืฉ puts it, why the ืืืจืฉ brings that ืชืืจืืฅ as the third, the last one. A better ืงืฉืื is on ืจืฉืดื. ืืืืืืื ืื ืืจืื ืืคืจืฉ ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, since ืจืฉืดื usually explains the simple ืคืฉื, ืืื ืขืจ ืืืืืจื ืืขืืืจืคื ืขื ืืคืขืจื ืืืก ืขืืงืจ ืคืื ืืขื ืืกืชืืื ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืืก ืืจืืงื ืืืืก ืื ืขื ืื ืืื ืืฉืืืืืช ืฆื ืืืคืจื ืืืืณ ืืื ืฆื ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืื ืฆื ืืื ืืขืงื. So certainly in ืคืฉื, it would make sense that the ืกืชืืื, the fact that it's closed up there, is because it wants to connect the end of ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ which is a good of ืืืื, and the beginning ืืืื ืืขืงื which is again good. So what would be the real, the simple ืคืฉื in ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื why in between the two good things there's a ืกืชืืื? To show you there is a great connection between between the two because it's something good. And now, like we said before, it's connected to the life of ืืขืงื. It was good in ืืืฉื, and straight, right away, without any separation it goes straight to the good of ืืขืงื. ืืื ื ืืฉื ืฆื ืื ืขื ืื ืคืื ืืืคืื ืืื. But why would we say that that the reason why the ืกืชืืื is there because of something negative? ืืืืก ืืื ืคืืจืืืจืืืื ืืขืืืืจื ืืืจื ืืืื ืคืืืจื, ืืืฉื ืืืื ืืขืงื. Something that happened because he passed away, bad things happened. In ืคืฉื, that wouldn't be the the simple ืคืฉื. The simple ืคืฉื would be that the reason it's closed up to show that this something represents something good. So ืืื ื ืืฉื ืืืื, it's not understood, what's the ืงืฉืื on ืจืฉืดื? Number one, ืืืืงื ืืขื ืืจืืื ืืขื ืืื ืืืจืฉ ืฉื ืกืชืื ืืื ืื ืืฆืจืืช ืืืืื, ืืืืงื this ืคืฉื, the third ืคืฉื, that all the ืฆืจืืช were taken away, stopped up, ืืจืขื ืื ื ืืฉื ืจืฉืดื. ืจืฉืดื doesn't even bring that ืชืืจืฅ at all. ืจืฉืดื also explains why there is no space in between. But he doesn't bring that ืชืืจืฅ at all. Not only, see in ืืืจืฉ the ืงืฉืื is: Why is it the third? It should be the first. In ืจืฉืดื the ืงืฉืื: Why doesn't he bring it ืืืื? That's number one. Second thing is: ืืืื ืฆืืืื ืืขืืื ืคืื ืืืจืฉ ืืืืก ืจืฉืดื ืืจืขื ืื ืื, the two reasons that ืจืฉืดื does bring, ืืืืื ืขืจ ืืืืืจื ืืขืืืจืคื ืฉืืขืื ืืคืืขืงืขืจืื ืกืืจ. He should have brought them in an opposite order. ืืืืื ืฆืืืืืื ืืขื ืืื ืื ืกืชืืื ืคืืจืืื ืื ืืื ืืื ืืขืงื. The second one is connected to ืืื ืืขืงื, that while ืืขืงื was alive, he wanted to tell the sons the ืงืฅ and he forgot it, or whatever the ืคืฉื is that he couldn't do it. That still has to do with ืืขืงื's life. ืืื ืื ืกืืื ืฆื ืืขืงื'ืก ืจืฆืื ืฆื ืืืื ืืืื ืืขื ืงืฅ ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืืืก ืืืืก ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืกืืื ืืคืืืจืชื, even though the reason he wanted to tell them the ืงืฅ is because it was close to his passing, so it's connected to his passing, ืืื ืืืก ืืืขืจ ืคืืจืืขืงืืืขื ืืืืื. But nevertheless it was when he was alive. So this ืชืืจืฅ, the second reason, still is at a time when ืืขืงื was alive. ืืขืจ ืขืจืฉืืขืจ ืืขื, but the first reason, ืจืขืื ืืืขืื ื ืืื ืืืืก ืืื ื ืื ืื ืคืืืจื ืคืื ืืขืงื. The first reason is that when ืืขืงื passed away, the ืฉืืขืืื ืืฆืจืื started. So that's something that has to do later, after the life of ืืขืงื, after he passed away. ืืืคืจื ืื ืืขืจ ืขื ืื later ืืื ืืื ืืขืจ ืืืจื ืืื ืืืืื ืฆืืืืืื ืืขื. So first of all, it comes first, that's what happened. The The second thing came first, that ืืขืงื wanted to tell them the ืงืฅ, so that should have been first, and then should be something that happened later when he passed away. Besides that, in the first one, it's stronger. The first one is a bigger ืฆืขืจ, the ืขื ืื of the ืฉืืขืืื. The second one is not such a big ืฆืขืจ. And as we said before, really this should not refer to a ืฆืขืจ, it should be a good thing. So at least if he would say the second ืชืืจืฅ first, which is not such a bad thing. But ืจืฉืดื, what he does is, he tells first the worst thing, then he tells something not so bad, and the third thing, which is the best, which should be the simple ืคืฉื, ืจืฉืดื doesn't say at all. ืืื ืฆื ืคืืจืฉืืืื, ืืืืืจ ืืขื ืืืืก ืืคืจืฉืื ืคืืจืื ืืืืืจืื ืื ืงืฉืื ืืื ืฆืืืื ืืขืืื. So the Rebbe says: To
explain this, let's bring in the ืืคืจืฉืื, something the ืืคืจืฉืื say concerning the two reasons of ืจืฉืดื. And this is what they say: ืืืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืคืื ืกืชืืืช ืืคืจืฉื ืืื ืืคื ืฉืืืืื ืฉื ืคืืจ ืืขืงื ืืืื ื ื ืกืชืื, if we're going to say like ืจืฉืดื says that why is there a ืกืชืืื in the ืคืจืฉื? Because when ืืขืงื passed away, then there was a ืกืชืืื, they stuffed up the eyes of the ืืืื from ืฆืจืืช, the ืฉืืขืืื ืืฆืจืื started, ืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืฉืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ ืืื ืื ืื ืกืชื, or if he the other ืคืฉื that he wanted to tell them the ืงืฅ, and it got stuff taken away from him, ืืืืื ืื ืกืชืืื ืืขืืืจืคื ืืืื ืฉืคืขืืขืจ ืืื ืื ืคืกืืงืื ืืืื ืก'ืจืขืื ืืื ืืืขืื ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ ืืืขืจ ืืืขืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื. If the ืกืชืืื, the fact that there's a space not miss- it didn't no space no separation, is because of one of these two reasons or both reasons, why is it here? Why is it put in the beginning of ืืืื? It should have been later when it talks about ืืขืงื passing away passing away, because both ืชืืจืืฆืื have to do with his passing. The second one that he wanted to tell the ืงืฅ and he forgot is because before he passed away he wanted to, so it's close to his passing. The one that the ืฉืืขืืื started after he passed away is ืืืฉ after he passed away. This is not where the ืชืืจื puts it. The ืชืืจื puts it by ืืืื ืืขืงื where it says that he lived in ืืฆืจืื. It doesn't speak about his passing. So why is the ืกืชืืื, which represents these two things, written here between ืืืืฉ and the beginning of ืืืื, and not later when it talks about the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื? That's the ืงืฉืื of the ืืคืจืฉืื. ืืื ื'ืขื ืืคืขืจื, ืื ื ืกืชืืื ืืื ืืืื ืกืืจื ืืื ื ืืฉื ืงืขื ืืืง, ืืืจื ืงืขื ืืขื ื ืืฉื... If it would be in the middle of a ืกืืจื, it wouldn't be you couldn't tell. In the middle of a ืกืืจื sometimes there's less and bigger separation, smaller separation, and it wouldn't be such a big deal and you wouldn't be able to tell. But in the beginning of a ืคืจืฉื, that's a fact, then it makes it very clear. And he explains: ืืฉืขืช ืื ืกืชืืื ืืื ืืื ืื ืคืื ื ืกืืจื, when this ืกืชืืื is in the beginning of a
ืกืืจื, ืืืืก ื ื ืืืข ืกืืจื ืืืืื ืืื ืื ื ืืืืื ืืขืจืข ืขื ืื, we know that every time there's a new ืกืืจื is ืืืืช a new ืขื ืื, ืืืจืฃ ืืื ืืืื ื ื ืืคืกืง, ืจืืื, ืืขืจ ืืขื ืืจื ืืืื. So obviously that's where you need the separation, because every ืกืืจื is an ืขื ืื for itself, so every ืกืืจื before the ืกืืจื needs a separation. ืืฉืขืช ืก'ืืื ืืืืจื ื ืืื ืงืืื ืจืืื, and when you see that there is no separation, no space at all, ืก'ืืื ืกืชืื, it's closed, ืืื ืื ืขื ืื ืื ืฉืืืืขื ืืื ืืื ืฆืืืื ืืืืื ืืขืจืข ืกืืจืืช, and the ืขื ืื ืื that it talks about are in two separate ืกืืจืืช, because after all ืืืืฉ is a ืกืืจื for itself, ืืืื is a ืกืืจื for itself. So it should have been a real separation. And if it's not there, ืืื ืืกืชืืจ ืืืืจ, probably it means to say, ืื ืื ืกืชืืื ืืืืืื ื ืืฉื ืืืืฃ ืกืชืืื ืคืื ืคืจืืืืช'ืืืงืข ืคืกืืงืื, ืืื ืขืก, ืืื ืื ืกืชืืื ืืขืคืื ื ืืื, obviously what it's trying to tell you that this whatever the ืกืชืืื is trying to tell you, whatever this close, being closed, comes to tell you, is not ื ืืืข to these specific ืคืกืืงืื, but ื ืืจ, ืก'ืืื ืคืืจืืื ืื ืืื ืืืืืช ืชืืื ืืกืืจื, it has to do with the ืกืืจื as a whole, ืืขืจืคืืจ ืืืขืจื ืขืก ื ืจืื ืืชืืจ ืืงืืื to the ืขื ืื ืืกืืจื ืืืืืืื. In other words, sometimes if something special happens in the middle of a ืคืจืฉื, so it has to do with that ืคืกืืง, with something else. But if something has to do between two ืกืืจืืช, and we know two ืกืืจืืช are separate ืขื ืื ืื, so obviously it's trying to tell you something not ืื ืืืข a specific ืคืกืืง, it's trying to tell you something ืื ืืืข the whole ืกืืจื that this is for. And
since this is the beginning of a whole ืกืืจื of ืืืื, so obviously this ืกืชืืื has to do with the whole ืกืืจื. It doesn't have to do with ืืืื ืืขืงื, doesn't have to do with ืืขืงื living, it has to do with the ืชืืื of the whole ืกืืจื, ืืืืืืื as the ืจืื will explain what this tells you about the whole ืกืืจื. So what the ืจืื is trying to say, that when the ืืคืจืฉืื say, we quoted before, that really it should have been written, the ืกืชืืื should have been later, but it's here in order to be able to tell, because if it would be written in the middle of a ืคืจืฉื, middle of a ืกืืจื, you wouldn't be able to tell that, so the ืจืื explains it doesn't mean just not that just ืกืชื that you wouldn't be able to tell that so much that there is something different here. It tells you something special, that the difference that's happening here, and that's why there's a ืกืชืืื, has to do with the whole ืกืืจื. That's why it's done before a ืกืืจื. So now let's see, what is the ืกืืจื of ืืืื talking about? Not the last these ืคืกืืงืื, the whole ืกืืจื, and when we figure out what the whole ืกืืจื is talking about, we'll see what the ืกืชืืื is trying to tell us, and we'll answer the ืงืฉืืืช. ืืื ืื ืขืืงืจ ืื ืืขืจ ืขืืงืจ ืชืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืกืืจื ืืืื ืืื ืืืขืื ืืืืจืขืืช ืืืืก ืืขื ืขื ื ืืฉื ืืฉืืืืืช ืฆืื ืืืคื ืืืืื ืคืื ืืขืงื ืืื ืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื, since the whole ืชืืื of the ืกืืจ, the whole ืกืืจื, is not really concerning the life of ืืขืงื, how he lived in ืืฆืจืื, ืืืืก ืืืก ืืืขืจื ืืขืจืฆืืืื ืืื ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ, this is in ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ told, ืื ืืขืงื ืืื ืื ืืขื ืขื ืืขืืืขื ืืื ืืืื ืืืจืฅ, ืืืืกืืก, ืืืคืจื ืืืจืื ืืื, it says they were in the best of the land, and they multiplied there. All the life of ืืฉืืืื and ืืขืงื in ืืฆืจืื is told in ืืืืฉ. Here, in ืืืื, what's the main point of the whole ืกืืจื of ืืืื? ืืขืจ ืขืืงืจ ืืืืจืขืืช ืืืืก ืืขื ืขื ืคืืจืืื ืื ืฆื ืืืื ืคืืืจื, happenings that are connected to his passing, ืืื ืฆื ืืืื ืคืืืจื ืืคืืขื, when he actually passed away, as written in the ืคืจืฉื. And the
ืจืื says, where do we see it in the ืคืจืฉื? Everything is connected to the ืคืืืจื. First of all, in the beginning of the ืกืืจื, it says ืืืงืจืื ืืื ืืฉืจืื ืืืืช, ืืื ืื ืืืื ืคืจืฉื, beginning it says that the days got close to his death. ืืื ืืขืจ ืืืฉื ืืขื ืื ืื, ืืขืงื ืืื ืื ืืจืืืช ืฆื ืืืกืฃ ืืื ืืืื ืข ืงืื ืืขืจ, then it says ืืขืงื gave a ืืจืื to ืืืกืฃ and his children, ืืื ืืขืจื ืื ื ืืจืื ืืื ืื, when he gave the ืืจืื just to his children. These are all ืขื ืื ืื ืืืืก ืืขื ืขื ืฉืืื ืฆืื ืืื ืฉืงืืื ืืคืืืจื, these are all things that have to do because it was close to and before he died. So even the beginning of the ืคืจืฉื, before he died, it's all ืขื ืื ืื in connection to his ืคืืืจื. ืืืคืจื ืื ืืชืืืช ืืกืืจื ืืืฉ, especially in the beginning of this ืกืืจื, ืืื ืืขื ืขืจืฉืื ืคืกืืง, the first ืคืกืืง, ืืืขืจื ืืขืืจืืื ืืขืจ ืกื ืืื ืคืื ืื ืฉื ื ืืื ืืขืงื, the first ืคืกืืง says what how old he was in his end of his life. So the first ืคืกืืง talks ืืืฉ about the end of his life. So this is the ืชืืื of the ืกืืจื, ืืื ืืขืจืคืื ืคืืจืฉืืื ืืืง, from that we understand, ืื ืืื ืืขืจ ืคืจืฉื ืกืชืืื, the fact that the ืชืืจื writes a ืคืจืฉื ืกืชืืื, doesn't have that space in between in the beginning of the ืกืืจื, and we said before that means that it has to do with something of the whole ืกืืจื, not of the words ืืืื ืืขืงื, but the whole ืกืืจื, ืืืื ื ืื ืชืืจื ืื ืฆืืืืื, the ืชืืจื means to stress, ื ืกืชืืื ื ืกืชืืื ืืงืฉืจ ืฆื ืืขื ืชืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืืื ืฆืขืจ ืคืจืฉื, ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, the ืชืืจื is trying to tell you something concerning the passing of ืืขืงื. So the ืกืชืืื that's there in the beginning has to do something with the ืคืจืฉื, with the ืกืืจื, and this whole ืกืืจื is the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื. Okay. ืืื ืืืืื ืืืขืจื ืคืืจืขื ืืคืขืจื ืืืืืข ืืืืื ืืขืจืืื ืืข ืงืฉืืืช. This
will answer the both questions asked in the beginning. ืืืืก ืจืฉ\"ื ืืื ืืฉืืื ืืขื ืืจืืื ืืขื, first of all why ืจืฉ\"ื skips ืืืื the third reason, that why the ืชืืจื has a ืกืชืืื is to tell you that he was finished with all the ืฆืจืืช, ืืื ืืขืจ ืกืืจ ืคืื ืื ืฆืืืื ืืขืืจืืืืข ืืขืืื, and the second question, why does ืจืฉ\"ื bring the order of the other ืืขืืื in the order of first he brings that the ืฆืจืืช, but the ืขืืืืช started when ืืขืงื died, and the second one, that he forgot the ืงืฅ? Now we'll understand why, why. ืืืืื ืื ืกืชืืื ืืื ืคืืจืืื ืื ืืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, since we just finished saying that this ืกืชืืื has to do with the ืกืืจื as a whole, which is the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื, ืืื ืืื ืื ืคืืกืืจื, getting the ืฉืืืืืช with the ืคืืืจื, and all the things that happened in connection to the ืคืืืจื. ืืื ืืืืื, in ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, ืงืขื ืืืจ ื ืื, so a simple ืคืฉื, there's no place to say ืื ืื ืกืชืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืกืืจื, ืืืืก ืืื ืฆื ืืื ืืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, ืืื ืจืื ืืืื ืื ื ืกืชืื ืืืื ื ืื ืฆืจืืช. So it doesn't make sense to say when we're talking that the ืชืืจื wants to teach something that has to do with his passing, that that should mean, to tell us that all the ืฆืจืืช went away from him. Why? ืกืื ืืื ืืื, first of all, in time, ืฉื ืฉืชืื ืืืื ื, this that all the ืฆืจืืช went away, ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืืืื ืืืื ืงืืืขื ืืื ืืฆืจืื. That happened right away when he came to ืืฆืจืื, 17 ืืืจ ืคืืจ ืืขืจ ืคืืืจื, 17 years before he passed away! So the ืชืืจื is trying to tell us something about his ืคืืืจื and in connection to his ืคืืืจื, why would the ืชืืจื hint to something that started 17 years earlier? That's because the ืืื. ืกืื ืืื ืชืืื, ืกืื in the contents, ืืขืจ ืขื ืื ืคืื ื ืกืชืื ืืื ื ืื ืฆืจืืช ืฉืืขืืื, this idea that all the ืฆืจืืช was taken away from him, were closed up from him, ืืืืก ืืื ืชืืืืช ืืืืื, that shows how the life was special, ืืื ืืื ืงืขืื ืืืฅ ืฆื ืขื ืื ืืคืืืจื ืคืื ืืขืงื. That's in contradiction to ืืขืงื's death! The fact that we're saying he lived a very, very good life, that he had no ืฆืจืืช, that has to do with his life! And if the ืชืืจื is talking about the ืคืืืจื, and the ืกืชืืื is there to give you some to tell you something about his ืคืืืจื, it wouldn't be telling you something about how good his life was, because it's the beginning of the ืคืจืฉื, it's ื ืืืข to the whole ืกืืจื, to the whole ืคืจืฉื, so it can't be that it's telling you something about his life, ืกืื ืืฆื the time, cuz this was started years, 17 years before, and ืกืื ืืฆื the ืชืืื, it doesn't fit that when we want to tell you something about his ืคืืืจื, we'll tell you how good he lived. ืคืืจ ืืืก, ืืื ืจืฉืดื ืืื ืืื ืฆื ืืฉืืื ืืขื ืืจืืื ืืขื. That's why ืจืฉืดื skips that reason, because in ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, that reason doesn't fit. ืงืืื ืืืื ืืืื ืงืืื ืงืฉืื ื ืืฉื, ืืืืก ืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช ืฉืืขืื ืจืฉืดื ืืืก ืฆืืืืืื ืืขื. Now, there's also no question why the fact that he wanted to reveal the ืงืฅ and ื ืกืชื ืืื ื, it got stuffed from him, it got taken away from him, ืจืฉืดื writes as a second reason. ืืืืื ืืื ืฉืืืืืช ืฆื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, ืืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืฉื ืฉืชืขืืื, ื ืขื ืืขืจ ืฆื ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, because the first reason that he gives, that when ืืขืงื ืืืื ื passed away, the ืฆืจืืช bei the ืืืื started, is closer to the ืคืฉื, since we're talking about the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื, so that's closer to the ืคืืืจื. See, the fact, ืืืืืืื ืื ืื ืคืืืจื ืืืคื ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืื ืกืืื ืฆื ืื ืกืชืืื, ืื ืฉืืื ืื ืืื ืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช. See, why did the ืฆืจืืช start? Because ืืขืงื passed away! So that has a connection to the ืคืืืจื. So if the ืชืืจื wants to tell you something about the ืคืืืจื, so it makes sense that the ืชืืจื is telling you that the ืคืืืจื brought a ืกืชืืื, it brought that the ื ืกืชื the the ืฉืขืืื happened, the ืกืชืืื, the stuff stuffiness, the ืคืืจืฉืืืคืืงืืื happened already. While the other reason, that he forgot if he had wanted to tell him the ืงืฅ and he and he didn't make it, that is not part of the ืคืืืจื! That didn't bring, it didn't come because of the ืคืืืจื! The reason he wanted to tell them was because he was going to pass away, but the fact that he forgot it, which is the hint of the fact that there's a ืกืชืืื in the ืคืกืืงืื, in the in the ืกืคืจ ืชืืจื, that is ื ืืืข that he forgot the ืงืฅ! The forgetting the ืงืฅ is not a cause because of the ืคืืืจื! So it's in time of the ืคืืืจื, but it's not connected directly to the ืคืืืจื. So which one is more ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, that's connected to the ืคืืืจื? That the ืฆืจืืช of the ืืืื started because of his ืคืืืจื! So if the ืชืืจื wants to tell us something about the ืคืืืจื, the ืชืืจื means to say that the ืคืืืจื caused the ืฉืขืืื. The second thing is also close to the ืคืืืจื, so ืจืฉืดื also brings it, but that's not as close to ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื as the first ืคืฉื. While the third ืคืฉื in the ืืืจืฉ doesn't fit here at all, because that has nothing to do with the ืคืืืจื, that has to the opposite, it has to do with his living in ืืฆืจืื 17 years good. So everything seems to be ืคืืจืขื ืืคืขืจื, answered. ืขืก ืืืืืื ืืืขืจ ื ืื ื ืื ืคืืจืฉืืื ืขื ืื ืคื ืืืืืช ืืขื ืื, if you go ืคื ืืืืืช, ืขื ืคื ืืกืืืืช, it's not so simple anyway. ืคืืจ ืืืืก ืืืืื ืืื ืืืงืข ืื ืื ืกืืจื ืืื ืืืื ืืขืงื? Why does ืืืงืข this ืกืืจื start with ืืืื ืืขืงื, ืืืืืืื ืื ืืื ืฆืข ืกืืจื ืจืขืื ืืื ืืืขืื ืื ืคืืืจื ืคืื ืืขืงื, ืืื ืื ืคืืกืืจื ืืื ืฉืืืืืช ืืื
ืืืจ? The whole ืกืืจื is talking about ืืขืงื's death, ืืขืงื's passing, and all the things in connection to his passing. So why does ืืืงืข this ืกืืจื start with ืืืื ืืขืงื? ืื ืืืช ืื ืืขืจ ืกื ืืื ืคืื ืฉื ื ืืื ืืขืงื ืงืืื ืืื ืคืืจืืื ืืื ื ืืื ืืืื ืคืืืจื. True, that when the ืชืืจื wants to tell us how old how how many years he lived, when do you say that? When we talk about his ืคืืืจื. So then we tell you, how old was he when he was passing away? ืืื ืืขืืืื ืคืจืืขืจ. So ืืืืืจื, maybe that's why the ืคืจืฉื, the ืกืืจื that talks about the ืคืืืจื starts ืืืื ืืขืงื. But the ืจืื says, no. ืืขืจ ืชืืจืืฅ ืคืืกื ืืืขืจ ืืืืื ืืืืฃ ืื ืฉืืืืืช ืคืื ืฆืืืืืื ืืืืืข ืคืกืืง. The second half ืคืกืืง ืืืงืข fits. ืคืกืืง says ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืงื, the days of ืืขืงื were 147, that ืืืงืข fits. When we talk about the ืคืืืจื, you tell us he was 147 years old when he passed away. ืืืขืจ ืืขืจ ืขืจืฉืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจ ืคืกืืง, but the first half of the ืคืกืืง, ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื ืฉืืข ืขืฉืจื ืฉื ื, that ืืขืงื lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years, ืืืืก ืืืขืจื ืืขืจืฆืืืื ืืืขืื ืืขืงื'ืก ืืขืกืืข ืืืจื, what talks about the best years of his life, ืืืืก ืคืืจ ื ืงืืฆืืจ ืืื ืืืก ืืื ืืืชืช ืืขืงื? What's the connection to that with the death of ืืขืงื? With the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื? And since we said the whole ืคืจืฉื is the ืคืืืจื, so the words ืืืื ืืขืงื don't belong here. ืืคื ืื, ืืื ืืืจ ืื ืืืืงื ืคืื ืื ืกืืจืื ืืขืืืจืคื ืืืื differently. That according to this, that the whole ืกืืจ is talking about the ืคืืืจื, the way the ืกืืจืื are divided should have been differently. Should have been like this: ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื ืฉืืข ืขืฉืจื ืฉื ื, ืืืก ืืื ืืขืืืจืคื ืืืื ืืขืจ ืกืืื ืคืื ืคืจืฉืช ืืืืฉ. This ืคืกืืง, the not the first part of the ืคืกืืง, that ืืขืงื lived in ืืฆืจืื 17 years, which means he lived good years in ืืฆืจืื, that should have been part of the part of the end of ืืืืฉ. That should be the end of ืืืืฉ, ืืืืก ืืืขืจื ืืขืจืฆืืืื ืืชืื ืจืื ืืขืงื ืืืืื. In ืืืืฉ it talks about ืืขืงื was revived and he became happy and ืืืฉื ืืฉืจืื, and it says that the ืืืื lived in ืืืฉื in the good land, ืืืคืจื ืืืจืื ืืื, and they multiplied. ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืงื, and then so that should be so that's like ืืืืฉ. So in the end of ืืืืฉ it should have said ืืืื ืืขืงื ืืืจืฅ ืืฆืจืื ืฉืืข ืขืฉืจื ืฉื ื. When it talks about how good it was in ืืฆืจืื and how they lived in ืืฆืจืื, that's where ืืืื ืืขืงื belongs. Now the second half, ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืงื, ืืขืงื lived for 147 years, that should be the beginning, ืื ืืชืืื ืคืื ืคืจืฉืช ืืืื. ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืงื should be the beginning of ืืืื, cuz ืืืื talks about his ืคืืืจื, that's how it will start, that ืืขืงื was by the ืคืืืจื 147 years, and then the ืชืืจื would go on, everything that happened surrounding his ืคืืืจื. That's how it should be. That's one ืงืฉืื. ื ืืจ ืืืจืฃ ืืขื ืคืืจืฉืืืื, we also have to understand, ืืื ืืขืจืขืื ืฉืืื ืืืื ืืื, ืืขืจ ืจืื ืืืื, as I said many times, ืื ืืขืจ ื ืืืขื ืคืื ื ืกืืจื ืืื ื ืคืืจืืื ืืื ื ืืื ืืขื ืชืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืืื ืฆืขืจ ืกืืจื. A name of a ืกืืจื has a connection to the ืชืืื, the context of the whole ืกืืจื. And that's the Rebbe's ืืืืืฉ, that even though people think that the name of a ืกืืจื is based on because it's one of the few first few words of the ืกืืจื, which is connected, which is true, but it's not only that. The name, the word that is the name tells us the whole ืชืืื of the ืกืืจื. And ืืืงืข in every ืกืืจื we have to look into it to see how it fits. According to that, ืืืื ื ืืื ืืืื ืืืขืจื ืื ืกืืจื ืื ืืขืจืืคื ืืื'ื ื ืืืขื ืืืื? So how is the ืกืืจื called ืืืื, ืืื ืืขืจ ืฆืืื ืืืืก ืืขืจ ืืื ืืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืกืืจื ืืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, when the whole context, the whole meaning, the whole ืชืืื of the ืกืืจื is how ืืขืงื passed away, ืืืคื ืคืื ืืขื ืขื ืื ืคืื ืืืื, the opposite of ืืืื? So why? So two ืงืฉืืืช:
why does it start with ืืืื when it talks about the ืคืืืจื, and why is the name of the ืกืืจื ืืืื, which is talking about the ืคืืืจื, when ืืืื means he lived, not that he passed away? So the Rebbe says, ืืขืจ ืืืืืจ ืืื ืืขื, the explanation is like this: ืืืืชืช ืขื ืื ืืืืื ืืื ืืื ืืืื ืืืืก ืืื ืืืขืืื ืื. When we say something is alive, when is it really alive? If it's always alive, eternally, forever. ืืื ื ืงืืื ื ืฆืื ืื ืฉืื ืืื. It's forever, it exists forever, eternally, without any changes. ืืขืจ ืคืืงื ืืื, ืื ืืืช'ืข ืืฆืืืืช ืคืื ืืืื ืคืืจืื ื ืืจ ืืืื ืืืืืขืจืฉืื. That's why the real, real ืื, what's really called alive, only ืืฉื, which is the ืืงืืจ ืืืืื, the source of all life. He's the real life. ืฉืืืื, there's a ืคืกืืง that says, ืื' ืืืงืื ืืืช ืืื ืืืงืื ืืืื. ื' ืืืงืื, the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is true, and the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is life, which means, ืืืืก ืืืช ืืื ืืื ืืื ืืืืก ืืืขืจื ื ืืฉื ื ืคืกืง, ื ืืฉื ื ืฉืชื ื. ืืืช is something that doesn't stop. If it's really ืืืช it can't change, and it never changes, and never stops. Just to use a simple example, 1 + 1 = 2 is true. That will never change. And you can't say in one place it's 2, in one place it's 4, or next year it'll be 2. If it's ืืืช it's true. Something that doesn't get stopped and doesn't change. ืืืื ืืืขืจ ืืื ืืขื ืืื ืื ื ืืคืกืง, ืืืขืจื ืขืก ืื ืืขืจืืคื ืืืื. If something is alive, but it stops, that's not called ืืืช, that's called a lie, ืืืื. ืืื ืืขืจืคืืจ ืืขืคืื ื ืืขื, that's what we find ืืืื, ืื ืืืืื ืืืืก ืืืขืจื ืืืืกืืขืืจืืงื ื ืืืื ืืื ืืื ืืืื ืืืจ, there are certain rivers that dry up once in seven years. ืืืขืจื ืืื ืื ืืขืจืืคื, they're called in the ืืฉื ื, ื ืืจืืช ืืืืืืื, rivers who lie. ืืื ืืืก ืคืกืื ืืงืืืืฉ ืื ืืืืช. When you have to use water together with the ืคืจื ืืืืื, and then use it to sprinkle, it has to be, the ืคืกืืง says, ืืืืก ืขืก ืืืจืฃ ืืืื ืืืงื ืืื ืืืื. The ืคืกืืง says has to be live water. And these waters, even though now they're working good and they're fine, but if we know that they're going to stop eventually, it's not called ืืืื. So because really ืืืื is life means if it's eternal. ืืื ืืขืจืคืืจ ืืืื ืื"ื, ืืืชืื ืฉื ืืงืืืฉ ืืจืื ืืื ืืืช, that's what ืื"ื say, the seal of ืืฉื is ืืืช. Why ืืืช? Cuz the Rebbe's going to explain, ืืืช and ืืืื go together. Life is the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ has a real life, and that's a real ืืืช. ืืืืจืขื ืืืช ืืื ืฆืื ืืืคืืขืฉืืขืื ืคืื ืืจืื ืืืชืืืช. ืืืช is made up of three letters: ื, which is ืืขืจ ืขืจืฉืืขืจ ืืืช ืคืื ืืืฃ ืืืช, first letter of ืืืฃ ืืืช, ื, ืืขืจ ืืืืืกืืขืจ ืืืช, the middle ืืืช, ืช, ืืขืจ ืืขืฆืืขืจ ืืืช, the the last one, which means from beginning through the middle to the end, all the way, ืืืืก ืืืืืืืื ืื ืขืก ืื ืงืืื ืฉืื ืืืื, it shows there is no change, it's the same from beginning to end. ืืื ืืืชื, like it says by the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ: ืื ื ืจืืฉืื ืืื ื ืืืจืื ืืืืืขืื ืืื ืืืงืื, I'm first, I'm last, and besides Me there is nothing, which means in between. ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is the ืืฆืืืืช from beginning to end. So ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is the real ืืืช. And that means that ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is the real ืืืื. ืืื ืืืก ืืืื ื ืืขืจ ืคืกืืง, when the ืคืกืืง says, ืื' ืืืงืื ืืืช ืืื ืืืงืื ืืืื. So the ืคืกืืง says, because ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is ืืืช, ืื ืืืื ืืืืชื ืืชืืจื is ืืืช, since the ืืืืช of ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is true, which means He is eternal, ืืืืก ืงืืื ืืื ื ืืฉื ื ืคืกืง ืืืฉืชื ื ืืก ืืฉืืื, it never stops and never changes, is ืืื ืืืงืื ืืืื, that's why we say He's the one that's alive. ืืื ืขืจ ืืชืืจื ืื ืืืช'ืข ืืฆืืืืช ืืืืืื, He's the real life. So ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ is only the real life, because the real life means that it's living forever. If it's going to stop eventually, that while it's there it's not really alive. Potentially it's going to stop, so it's not really a real, real strong ืืฆืืืืช. So the only one that's really alive is ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ. ืื ืฉืืื ืื ื ืืจืืื, but all the creatures, ืื ืืืื ืืื ืืขื ืขื ื ืืฉื ืงืืื ืืืช'ืข ืืฆืืืืช ืืฆื ืขืฆืื, all creatures, all creation is not a real ืืฆืืืืช on their own, ืืื ืืขื ืขื ื ืชืืื ืืขืืืืจื ืืื ืืื ืืขื ืขื ืืขืฆื ืืืืื ืื ืคืกืืื, they were created at one point, and ืืื ืื ืคืกื means something that's created and wasn't there always will eventually stop. Some things will take longer, but it'll eventually stop. ืืื ืืืืื ืืื ืืฆื ืขืฆืื ืืื ื ืืฉืื ืงืืื ืืืืชืืช ืืืืื, since they're not really a being that will be forever, ืืืืื you can't say they're really alive. ืกืืืื, only dann, when the ื ืืจื is ืืืืง ืืื ืคืืจืืื ืื ืืื ืืืืงืืช. If the ื ืืจื, which is not really alive, is connected godliness, and godliness is ืืืื, is really alive, then we could consider that ื ืืจื also have a ืฉืืืืืช to ืืืื. ืืืืื ืืขืื werden ืืืื ืื ืืขืจืืคื ืืืื, for that reason ืืืื are called alive. Why? ืฆืืืื ืืืืขืจ ืืืืงืืช ืืื ืืืืงืืช, because they're connected to godliness, like the ืคืกืืง it says, ืืืชื ืืืืงืื ืื' ืืืงืืื ืืืื ืืืืื ืืืื, you are connected to God, your God, all of you are alive today. ืื ืืืื ืืื ืืขื ืขื ืื ืืงืืื ืืขื ืืงืืื ื ืฆืื, even they, ืื ืืืื ื ืืจืืื, ืืืื are ื ืืจืืื, they're also there with an eternal way because they're connected to ืืขืจ ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ eternal. ืืืขืจ, but, ืืืื ืื ืืขืจ ืืืช'ืข ืืืื, the ืืืืงืืช ืืืืืงืืช ืคืื ื ืืื ืืื ืืื ืึธื ืืขื ืืื ืขืืื ืืื ืืืฉืื, but in order that this ืืืืงืืช, this connection that the ืืื has to the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ, which ืืืืื makes him ืืืื, makes him really, really alive, but you can't see it. You look at the ืืื, a person, you don't see the eternity that is there, you don't see that he is ืืขืฆื a ืืฆืืืืช that is the real life which is eternal. In ืขืืื ืืื ืืืฉืื, this physical world, you don't see it. ืืืืก ืคืืจืฉืืขืื ืืืืคื ืืืช ืคืื ืขื ืื ืืืืงืืช, the world covers up, conceals the truth of ืืืืงืืช. ืืื ืขืก ืืืงื ืืืจื ืืขื, so how do you reveal it? It's only through them, through this, ืืืืก ืขืจ ืืืื ืืืจื ืื ื ืกืืื ืืช ืืื ืืืืืืื, person has tests and has all kinds of turbulence and has all kinds of challenges, ืืื ืฉืืขืจืขื ืืฉื ืืื ืืืื ืืืืงืืช, that he has all kinds of challenges in his connection to ืืฉื, ืืื ืืื ืืืืืื ืขืจ ืืื ืฅ ืืื ืืืืืขืขื ืืขืจื ืืื ืงืืื ืืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช, and he's complete and not changed concerning keeping the ืืฆืืืช, ืืขืืืืืก ืืืขืจื ื ืชืืื ืืื ืืขืจ ืคืืืขืจ ืงืืืจืงืืื, that's when it's very clear and becomes revealed, ืืืื ืืืช'ืข ืืืื, the true ืืืื, ืืืืก ืืืื ืืืืงืืช ืืืืืงืืช ืงืขื ื ืืฉื ืืขืขื ืืขืจื ืืืขืจื. When you see he keeps ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช even when there are challenges, that means that his connection to ืืฉื can never change. Why does it? Because it's connected to ืืฉื, and ืืฉื is unchangeable, so he is also. So when do you see
that a ืืื really has within him the ืืืื of the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ, which is eternal, because he's ืืืืง to the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ? When there are challenges to stop it and nevertheless he doesn't care and he passed the tests. ืืขื ืคื ืืขื ืืื ืคืืจืฉืืขื ืืืง ืื ืฉืืืืืช ืคืื ืืืื ืืขืงื ืฆื ืืขืจ ืืืืืช ืืกืืจื, from this we understand the connection between ืืืื ืืขืงื to the whole ืกืืจื, ืืืืก ืขืืงืจ ืขื ืื ืืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, the main thing is about the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื, which we ask the question, so why does the ืกืืจื start with ืืืื ืืขืงื? Why is that called ืืืื? ืืื ืืขืืงืจ ืืขืจ ืืขื ืืืืก ืื ืืื ืฆืข ืกืืจื ืจืืคื ืืื ืืืื, why it's called, now we'll understand. ืืืฉื ืื ืืืข ืคืจืืขืจืืืงืข ืืืจื, concerning all the previous years, ืืื ืืขื ื ืืฉื ืืขืืขื ืืืืขืจ ืืืื ืข ืืืจื ืคืื ืืืช'ืข ืืืื, all the years of ืืขืงื, really you couldn't see, is this a real ืืืื? ืคืื ืืืชื ืืืืงืื ืื' ืืืงืืื ืืืื, is this a ืืืืงืืช that represents the true connection to ืืฉื that is the real life? ืืืคืจื ืืื ืืืืงืืช ืืื ืืืื ืืืืก ืืื ืืืกืื ืฆื ืืจืืช ืืืืืช ืฉืื ืื ืืืจืืื, especially a type of life that fits to the level of the ืืจืืื of the ืืืืช, which are ืืจืืื, which are ืืื to ืืฉื. So all these years before you really couldn't know for sure, wasn't so ืืืืื, wasn't so revealed the fact that he is ืืืืง and has this eternity within him. Why? ืืืืื ืืขืจ
ืืื ืคืื ืื ืชืืืื ืืขืฆืื ืขื ืืื ืืืชื, because this rule that the ืืืจื says, "Don't believe in yourself till the day you die." In other words, you could never know that you'll remain a ืฆืืืง till the day you die, ืืืืก ืืื ืืขืืืื ืืขืืืืจื ืืืื ืฉืืื ืฆื ืฆืืืงืื, it's said by ืฆืืืงืื also. So, as long as he's still alive, and there's still another day to live and more time to live, you don't know what's going to happen. So it's not so sure that this is going to be forever. ืืืคืจื ืื ืืขืงื ืืืื ื ืืื ืืื ืืคืืจืฉ ืืืฉืฉ ืืขืืืขื ืฉืื ืืืจืื ืืืื, ืืขืงื actually, when he was afraid of ืขืฉื, said to the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ, "ืืื you promised me you'll protect me, but maybe I sinned." So he really thought to himself maybe he sinned. So, in theory, there's a possibility he might still sin. ืืขืจืคืืจ ืืื ืืืื ืืืจืื ืคืื ืืืืงืืช ืืืฉื ืคืื ืืืข ืืืจื ืืืื ืืื ืืจืฅ ืืฉืจืื, therefore, when he was ืืืืง to ืืฉื, ืืืงืข even the years in ืืจืฅ ืืฉืจืื, ืืื ืืืก ืืืจืืืืื ืืืื ืคืื ืฆืจืืช ืืื ืืกืืจืื, and he did pass many ืฆืจืืช, many problems and many sufferings, ื ืื ืืืฅ ื ืืฉื ืืขืืืขื ืงืืื ืืขื ืืื ืืืงืข ืืืืืืื ืื ืขืจ ืืื ืื ืืืช'ืขืจ ืืืื, still was not enough proof for the real, real ืืืื. Because who knows what's going to be later? ืืื ืืคืืื ืืืื ื ืืฉื ืืืก ืืืืก ืขืจ ืืื ืืขืืขื ืื ืืืื ืข ืงืื ืืขืจ ืืื ื ืื ืื ืืขื ืขื ืฆืืืงืื, even the fact that he saw his children and grandchildren are ืฆืืืงืื, still no proof, ืืืืืืื ืืื ืืืื ืืื ืืขืคืื ืขื ืืื ืืจืฅ ืืฉืจืื, they were in ืืจืฅ ืืฉืจืื. So there they were ืฆืืืงืื. ืืื ื'ืงืขื ื ืืฉื ืืืืกื ืืื ืืืื ืืืืขืจ ืืฆื ืงืขื ืืืื ืืื ื ืคืืจืืจืขืืืข ืืื ื, you don't know how they're going to be in a coarse land, a bad land like ืืฆืจืื, you don't know. So on ืืขืงื you don't know what's going to happen. As much as till then everything was fine and he overcame all challenges, his children also. ืืฉืขืช ืขืก ืืื ืืืขืจ ืืขืงื ืืขืจืืจืืืื ืืขืจ ืืื ืคืื ืกืืื
ืืคืืืจืชื, but when it came to the time close to his passing, ืืืคืจื ืื ืืื ืฆืืืืฉื ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืืขืจ ืงืืืขื ืืื ืืฆืจืื, especially that in between he came to ืืฆืจืื, ืืื ืืืืขืจืฆืืืื ืืื ืื ืืืื ืืืืืื ืขื ืืืง ืืื ืขืจืืช ืืืจืฅ ืืื ืขืจ ืืฉืืืืืช ืืื ื ืขืืืช ืืื ืงืืื ืืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช, so till it came to the point where while he was in ืืฆืจืื, to prove that while he is in ืืฆืจืื, ืขืจืืช ืืืจืฅ, which is the lowest land, he's still complete in doing ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช, ืืื ืืขืจ ืืขืฆืืข ืจืืข ืคืื ืืืื ืืขืื, till the last moment of his life. So when you got close to this, that's when you're going to see it. As long as there's still more time to live, you don't know what's going to happen, especially when you're in ืืฆืจืื. But here, being in ืืฆืจืื and he's already at the end of his life, and he's still the same ืชืืืืช ืืฉืืืืืช, ืืืคืจื ื ืื ืืื ืืขื ืืืจืื ืื ืืื ืืื ืฉืืืืืช, seeing that his children are complete, ืื ืืืข ืืืื ืข ืงืื ืืขืจ ืืขื ืขื ืืื ื ืืื ืฆืงืืื ืืื ืืืืขืจ ืฆืืงืืช, all his children are complete in their being ืฆืืืงืื, ืืื ืืืื ืืืกืฃ, ื ืืฉื ืงืืงื ืืืง ืื ืขืจ ืืื ืืื ืืื ื ืฉืชืงืข ืืื ืืืืื, despite that he was a king and he was captured amongst ืืืื, ืืื ืขืืื ืืฆืืงืชื, he was still a ืฆืืืง, ืืื ืืืื ืืืื ืื ืฉื ืืืคืจืื, even ืื ืฉื ืืืคืจืื, ืืืืก ืืขื ืขื ืืขืืืืจื ืืขืืืืจื ืืื ืืฆืจืื ืขืจืืช ืืืจืฅ, ืื ืฉื ืืืคืจืื which were born in ืืฆืจืื, in the low land of ืืฆืจืื, ืืืื ืขื ืจืืื ืืืจืื, he saw that they deserve to get a blessing, ื ืื ืืืื ืคืื ืื ืืืื ืืื ืืืืจืืช ืืืขืื ืืื ืืขื ืืฉื ืืื ืืื, they're so great that all generations, ืืืื, are going to want to bless their children, they'll bless them, "ืืฉืืื ืืืงืื ืืืคืจืื ืืืื ืฉื." ืืฉื should make like ืืคืจืื and ืื ืฉื, so use them as an example to bless. So you can imagine how ืืขืงื saw that at this point his children are ืฆืืืงืื, his grandchildren are great, such great people. And this was at the end of his life. ืืืก ืขืจืฉื ืืื ืืืื ืืขืืืขื ืืขืงื'ืก ืืืช'ืข ืืืืช, this revealed the true life of ืืขืงื, life of ืืขืงื, ืืืื ืืืื ืืืข ืืืื ืข ืคืจืืขืจืืืงืข ืืืจื, and that proved that even the previous years, ืืื ืืืืฆืื ืืืช ืคืื ืืื ืืกืืจืื ืืขืืืช ื ืคืฉ, superficially full of suffering and ืขืืืช ื ืคืฉ, ืืขื ืขื ืืคื ืืืืืช ืืขืืืขื ืืืื ืืขืงื, really they were the real life of ืืขืงื ืืคื ืืืืืช. ืืขืจืคืืจ ืืขื ืขื ืื ืืขืฆืืข 17 ืืืจ ืืื ืืฆืจืื ื ืงืืืจืข ืืืืืืื ืื ืืืื
ืฉืืืื ืืืืื. That's why being the last 17 years made that all the previous were good. But the question was, how did that make them all good? Maybe ืืขืงื forgot about those bad years because these were such good years, but how did it change the years? But he means not a life, he means a different thing. He means the true life that's connected to the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ. So when came to the end and you saw, ืืืงืข, till the end with all the things he still was a ืฆืืืง, that proved that all the years before, whatever it was, this was all the real ืืืืช, the real life. And even though he had ืฆืจืืช, but that was the real life because he still stuck to the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ with all the ืฆืจื, but now you see that this is what it is. ืืื ืืื ืืขื ืืื ืืืื ืืืืก ืื ืกืืจื ืืืขืจื ืื ืืขืจืืคื "ืืืื", this explains why the ืกืืจื is called "ืืืื", he lived, ืืื ืื ืืื ืืืจ ืจืขืื ืืื ื ืืฉื ื ืืจ ืืืขืื ืืืืจืขืืช ืคืื ืืขืงื ืกืืื ืืคืืืจืชื, even though that the ืคืจืฉื doesn't only talk about things close to his death, ื ืืจ ืขืื ืคืืืจืชื ืคืื ืืขืงื, ืืื ืืืขืื ืืขื ืืื ื ืืืืขื, it talks about ืืขืงื'ืก passing and it talks about what happened after ืืขืงื. So how could this ืกืืจื called "ืืืื", as we said before, when the whole ืคืจืฉื talks about his death? But not only that, it talks about not only close to his ืคืืืจื, it talks about his ืคืืืจื ืืืฉ and what happened after his ืคืืืจื. Now we understand why. ืื ืืืจื ืืืื, the ืืืจื says, ืื ืืขืงื ืืืื ื ืื ืืช, ืืขืงื ืืืื ื didn't die. ืื ืืจืขื ืืืืื, ืืฃ ืืื ืืืืื. Just like if his children are alive, then he's alive. ืืขืจืคืืจ ืฉืืืื ื ืืฉื ืืื ืืขืงื ืืขืจ ืืฉืื ืืืชื, that's why it doesn't The meaning of this is, when we say that he really didn't die, he's still alive, that ืืขืจ ืืืชืขืจ ืืืื ืคืื ืืขืงื, ืขืก ืฉืืืื ืืื ืืขื ืืืืก ืืจืขื ืืืืื. It shows, what's the real life of ืืขืงื? The fact that his children are alive. That's what the ืืืจื means, ืื ืืช because ืืจืขื ืืืืื. ืืืืก ืืืืกื, this is what it means. ืืืืืืื ืื ืืขืจ ืืืชืขืจ ืขื ืื ืคืื ืืืื ืืื ืืืก ืืืืก ืืืก ืืื ื ืืฆืืืงืืื, ืงืืื ืืขื. Since we said before, what's the real life? Something that's eternal, something that's forever. ืขื ืืจื ืืืืก ืืืก ืืื ืืืืืื ืืื ืืขื ืืืืืขืจืฉืื. Just like by the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ, which is the ืืงืืจ ืืืืื, which is the source of eternal, eternal connection. So, we said before that the real ืขื ืื of life is the eternity of the life. ืืืืขืจ ืืขื ืืขื ืืื ืื ืืขืจ ืืืชืขืจ ืืืื ืคืื ืืขืงื, ืืื'. When do you see the real life of ืืขืงื, and what life, what do we mean, the life of eternity? ืืืงื ืืืขื ืืขื ืืขื ืื ื ืฆืืืืชืืืงืืื ืืขืจืคืื, when we see the eternity of it. ืืืื ื ืืืืขื ืืืืก ืื ื ืฉืื ืืืื ืืืืขืง ืคืื ืืืฃ. Not only like we said before that the last minute, when he passes away, that moment, and everything was good till the end, you know that this is no nothing's changing. The ืจืื goes further. It's not only at the moment when he passes away, even what happens after he passes away, after the ื ืฉืื leaves the ืืืฃ. ืืืืก ืืืื ื ืื ื ืืฉื ื ืืจ ืื ืืืืช ืืื ืืืืง, ืขืก ืืืืืื ื ืฆืืืืชืืืงืข ืืืื ืืื ื ืฉืื. Then it shows that not only does the true life, which is the eternity in connection to ืืฉื, is there in the ื ืฉืื, ื ืืจ ืืืื ืืืื ืืื ืขืืื ืืื ืืืืืื ืืขืจ ืืืชืขืจ ืืืืช ืคืื ืืขืงื. That even after he passed away, in ืืฉืืืืช, in this world, is the life of ืืขืงื still. ืืืื ืข ืงืื ืืขืจ, it's in his children. ืื ืืื ืืขืื ืืขื ืืืชืขืจ ืืืื ืคืื ืืขืงื ืืืื ื, they live the true life of ืืขืงื. So, the ืืืื goes on the whole ืกืืจื because even the time when he passed away, that's part of ืืืื. And even what happened after he passed away, is still part of that time, ืืืื, because we just came to conclusion that ืืืื doesn't mean physical life, ืืืื means a life of ื ืฆืืืืช. ืืื ืืขื ืืื ื ืื ื ืื ืืขืฉืืืงืขืจ ืืขืจ ืืขื ืืืืก ืื ืกืืจื ืืืขืจื ืื ืืขืจืืคื ืืืื. And now it's even more ืืขืฉืืืง why the ืกืืจื is called ืืืื. ืืืืื ืืื ื ืืฉื ืืืืื ืืืชืงืฉ ืื ืืืื ืืืืจ ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื ืืื ื ืื ืืืฅ ืฉืืื ืฆื ืืืื ืืืื ืืขืงื. It doesn't mean only that even after he passed away, you still could call it ืืืื, that's how we normally would learn. Since he's a ืฆืืืง and after he passed away it's continued, so even, even after he passed away you could still call it ืืืื. The ืจืื says more, ืืืฃ, ื ืื ืืขืจ, ืืืงื ืืขืืืื, ืืืงื, specifically, especially after he passed away, ืืื ืขืจืฉื ืงืขื ืืืง ืืขืจ ืืืชืขืจ ื ืฆืืืืช ืคืื ืืืื ืืขืงื. That's when we know ืืืื ืืขืงื. So, when is the ืืืื ืืขืงื come to a revelation, to see it? After he passed away. So, obviously, the ืืืื ืืขืงื is no contradiction to his passing, which was the main ืงืฉืื, one of the main ืงืฉืืืช in the ืฉืืื, because the ืจืืื ืืืชืืืงืข thing ืืืงืข happens after his ืคืืืจื. Then the ืจืื continues: ื'ืืื ืคืจืืขืจ ืืขืจืขืื ืื ื'ืืืื ืืขืจืืืขืื ืื ืกืชืืืช ืืคืจืฉื ืืื ืคืืจืืื ืื ื ืืฉื ื ืืจ ืืื ืื ืืืขืจืืขืจ ืืืื ืืขืงื ื ืืจ ืืืื ืืชืืืช ืืกืืจื. We said before that the ืกืชืืืช ืืคืจืฉื, the fact that the ืคืจืฉื is stuffed up, is closed up, has to do not with the words ืืืงื ืืืื ืืขืงื, but with the beginning of the ืกืืจื, ืืืืก ืืืจ ืชืืื ืืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื ืืื ืื ืขื ืื ืื ืืืืก ืืขื ืขื ืฉืืื ืฆื ืืขื, means it's connected to the whole ืกืืจื, which talks about the death, the passing of ืืขืงื and all the things in connection. ืืื ืจืฉ''ื ืืฉืืื ืืขื ืืจืืื ืืขื ืคืื ืืืจืฉ, ืจืฉ''ื skips the third reason of the ืืืจืฉ, ืฉื ืกืชืื ืื ืฆืจืืช ืฉืืขืืื, that all the ืฆืจืืช stopped from him, ืืื ืืจืขื ืื ืืืืื ืื ืฆืืืื ืืขืืื, he only brings the other two reasons, ืฉื ืคืืจ ืืขืงื, when he passed away, that's when the ืฉืขืืื started, ืืฉืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ ืื ืขืื ืืืื ื, he wanted to tell them the ืงืฅ and it got stuffed up, ืืืืื ืืฉืืืืืช ืืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื, that have a ืฉืืืืืช to his ืคืืืจื. So, the ืจืื says that's what he said before, and the ืจืื is repeating, I said before, because the ืกืชืืื between the two ืกืืจืืช has to do with the ืืืื ืืขืงื, with the with the whole ืกืืจื ืืืื ืืขืงื, and the ืกืืจื talks about the ืคืืืจื, that's why the first two reasons are there, because they have to do with the ืคืืืจื of ืืขืงื. The third reason, which is that all the ืฆืจืืช went away from him, that's not part, has to do with the ืคืืืจื. So, that's what he said before. ืืืขืจ ืขื ืคื ืื ''ื, ืืื ืืืก ืืืื ืืืกื ืืคื ืืืืืช. And based the whole thing of what we said till now, this ืคืฉื that the ืจืื said before ืขื ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, in simple ืคืฉื, simple ืคืฉื the ืจืื said that we understand that the ืกืชืืื here must have to do with the ืกืืจื, not with the words. That's ืคืฉืืื ืฉื ืืงืจื, and therefore the third ืคืฉื doesn't fit to the whole ืคืจืฉื which the whole ืกืืจื, which is about the ืคืืืจื. Now the ืจืื says, I'll show based on what we said before, that it also fits to what it says in ืืกืืืืช. ืืืขื ืืืก ืืืืก ืืืงื ืื ืกืืจื ืคืื ืคืืืจืช ืืขืงื ืืืขืจื ืื ืืขืจืืคื ืืืื, with the fact like we said now, that ืืืงื the not only even after his ืคืืืจื it's still called ืืืื, ืืืงื his ืคืืืจื showed ืืืื, as we said before, that's the ืคื ืืืืืช, that fits to ืคืฉื also. ืืืืื ืืืงื ืืืจื, because ืืืงื through, ืืืจื ืื ืฆืืืื ืคืืจืืฉืื, ืืืงื through these two ืคืฉืืื, ืืืขืจื ืืจืืืกืืขืืจืืื ืืื ืืื ืืขืจืืขืฉืืจืืื, brings out and stresses ืื ืืขืจ ืืืืชืช ืืืืื ืืื ื ืืฉื ืืขืืืืจื ืืืื ืืื ืื, ืืืืงื these two things show that where is his real ืืืืช, even after he passed away, in his children, ืื ืขืจ ืืขื- ืืืช'ืข ืืขืื ืืืืืช ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืืขืจ ืขื ืื ืคืื ืงืืื ืืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช, ืืืืช ืืืืช. These two ืคืืจืืฉืื show how the children, their main thing, their main life, the ืืืืื is connected to ืืฉื. As we said before, the ืคื ืืืืืช'ืืืงืข ืขื ืื is here, that the real life is ืืืื ื ืฆืืืื. And these two ืคืืจืืฉืื, the ืจืื will show have to do with this ื ืงืืื, that after he passed away, then you have the real ืืืื. Why? ืืืก ืืืืก ืืืื ืืขืจื ืขื ืชืืจื ืืื ืืืื ืขื ืืงืืื ืืฆืืืช ืืื ื ืฆืืื ืืืืก ื ืืฉืื ืงืืื ืฉืืขืืื ืืืืช, the fact that ืืืื learn ืชืืจื and do ืืฆืืืช when there is no hardships of ืืืืช, is not such a special thing, noch meer, even when ืืืื do ืชืืจื and ืืฆืืืช while they're in ืืืืช, ืืื ืืขืจ ืืฆื ืคืื ืืืืช ืืื ืืื ืื ืืขื ืคืืืื ืืืืื ืืขื ืงืฅ ืคืื ืื ืืืืื, when the ืืฆื of the ืืืืช is, it's ืชืงืข in ืืืืช, but you feel the ืงืฅ, you feel the coming of the ืืืืื, you feel the the end, basically you know the ืืืืื, ืืขื ืืืืืกื ืืืฉืื ืืขื ืงืฅ ืคืื ืืืืก ืืืืช, we know, at least in your mind you know that there is a ืงืฅ and you know when the ืงืฅ is, what's the ืงืฅ? The ืงืฅ means at end, ืืืืก ืืืืช, when there is no more ืืืืช. ืืขืจ ืืืืกืืืื- ืืขื ืืืืกืืขืืืืื ืืืขืจื ืืื ืืจืืืก ืคืื ืืืืช, the ืงืฅ means they know that they will be redeemed and they will go out of ืืืืช. So, if you are in ืืืืช, so first the ืจืื said if you're in ืืืืช, if you keep, if you're not in ืืืืช keep ืืฆืืืช, there's no such a big thing. If you're in ืืืืช and you keep ืืฆืืืช, but as long as you know the ืงืฅ it makes it much easier, ืืืืืขื ืืขื ืืืื ืืื ื ืื ื ืื ืืจืืืก ืื ืฉืืืืืช'ืืืงืข ืืืื ืคืื ืืืื, it doesn't really show the real complete ืืืื that they lived in a form of ื ืฆืืืืช. ืืฉืขืช ืืืขืจ ืืืขื ืืขืจ ืฉืืขืืื ืฆืจืืช ืืืืืช ืืื ืืืื ืืจืืืก, ืขื ืืื ืื ืื ืืขื ืืขืื ืืืจื ืื ืืื ืืืื ืืขื ืงืขื ืคืื ืืขื ืืจืืืก ืืืืกืืขืืืืื ืืืขืจื, but if the ืืืืช is so strong that you don't even know how you're going to get out of it, you have no ืงืฅ, that's he ืืืืืฉ'ื ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ, he ืืืืืฉ'ื here interesting words ืกืชืืืช ื- if there would be the ืืืืื ืืงืฅ, it would give to ืืืื a certain push, give them a certain way of ืื, a special thing, that they were able to do ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช, but when there is ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ, you don't even have that. So, you're in ืืืืช and you have hardships, and you don't see the ืงืฅ, you don't basically you're in darkness, you don't see the light, ืืื ืืื ืืขืจื ื ืืขื ืืืืื ื ืฉืืื ืื ืื ืืืืื ืืืขื ืงืืืขื, and nevertheless you leave you believe with faith, the ืืืืื will come, ืืื ืืืื ืื ืืื ืืื ืฉืืืื, everyday you think you believe is coming, ืืื ืืื ืืขืจ ืืืฆืขื ืืืื ืฉืืขืื ืืืืก ืืืืช ืืขืจื ื ืืขื ืชืืจื, ืืงืืื ืืฆืืืช, and while you had the part of ืืืืช you learn ืชืืจื and do ืืฆืืืช, ืื ืืืขืจื ืืคื ืืื ืืจืืืก ืืื ืงืืืจ ืื ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช ืืื ืืขืจ ืืืช'ืข ืืืืช ืคืื ืืืื. Here it's revealed that ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช is the real ืืืืช of ืืืื. ืคืื ืืขื ืืื ืคืืจืฉืืขื ืืืง That we understand, ืื ืืืืงื ืืืจื ืืขื ืืจืืงื ืืื ืืืืก ืืขืจ ืืืช'ืข ืืืืช ืคืื ืืขืงื. We said we we said before that the real ืืืืช of ืืขืงื is this ืจืืื ืืืช'ืืืงืข ืืืืช ื ืฆืื. So, when do we see it? When it after him, it goes through his children. And in the children ืืืคื, if they keep ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช in the time of ืืืืช, and the time when there is no ืงืฅ, because they don't see the ืงืฅ, they don't see the light, that expresses the true life of ืืขืงื. ืื ืืื ืืืืื, it's his life, not only the ืืืื's life, it's his life, ืืืจื ืืขื ืืืืก ืืจืขื ืืืืื, through the children ืืืืื, that's ืืืื ืืขืงื. So, we see how the fact that ื ืกืชื ืืงืฅ is part of the reason of ืืืื ืืขืงื, because when is the real ืืืื ืืขืงื? When ื ืกืชื ืืงืฅ, when the ืงืฅ is not revealed. ืืขืจืืื ืืืขืจื ื ืื ืืขืกืขืจ ืคืืจืฉืืื ืืืง, this explains even more, ืืืืก ืจืฉ"ื ืืจืขื ืื ืืืืื ืื ืขืจืฉืืข ืฆืืืื ืืขืืื, ืืื ื ืื ืืขื ืืขื ืคืื ื ืกืชืื ืืื ื ืื ืฆืจืืช ืฉืืขืืื. This gives a different a better ืคืฉื why ืจืฉ"ื brings only the two ืคืฉื'ืื and not the third one, that all the ืฆืจืืช were taken away from him. ืืืืจืื ืืขืจ ืงืืื ืืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช ืืืื ืคืื ืกืืจื ืืื ื ืื ืืฆืจืืช, the fact that ืืืื do ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช when there is no ืฆืจืืช, ืืื ื ืื ื ืื ืงืืื ืจืื', ืืื ื ืื ืงืืื ืจืื' ื ืื ืื ืืืก ืืื ื ืืืืช ืืื ืฉืื ืืืื, it doesn't show that it's a life without a change, because, of course, there is no ืฆืจืืช, so you do ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช. ืืขืจ ืืืช'ืข ืืืื ืืืขืจื ืืืืื ืืื ืืขืจ ืขืืืื ืืื ืืื ืคืื ืฆืจืืช, ืืฉืืขืืื ืืื ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ, when do you see the real ืขืืืื? If there is ืฉืืขืืื, and there is ืฆืจืืช, ืฆืจืืช ืืฉืืขืืื, and we don't see the light, there's no you don't know the ืงืฅ, and, nevertheless, you do ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช. ืืขืืืื ืืืขื ืืขืจ ืืืื ืคืื ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช ืืื ืืื ืืืื ืืืืฃ ืืืื ืคืื ืืืืช ืืื ืฉืืขืืื, If the ืขื ืื of ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช which is the ืืืื is accomplished in a time when there is ืืืืช and ืฉืืขืืื, ืืืขืจื ืืืืื ืื ืืืื ื ืคื ืืืืืช ืืื ืืขืจ ืชืืืืช ืคืื ืืขื ืืืืช ืืื ืฆืจืืช ืืฉืืขืืื. That brings out, what is the purpose of the whole ืฉืืขืืื, of the whole ืืืืช. ืื ืืืืงื ืืืจื ืืขื ืงืืื ืืขื ืฆื ืฆืื ืืืืื ืคืื ืืขืจ ืืืืื ืืชืืืืช ืืฉืืืืืช. This brings to the ืืืืื. The ืืืืื is going to bring you to the the revelation of the ืืืืช, of the ืืืืงืืช of the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ. When do you show your ืืืืงืืช of the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ? When there is a ืฆืจื, there's a ืฉืืขืืื, and there's no ืงืฅ, you don't see the ืงืฅ, and, nevertheless, you do ืชืืจื ืืืฆืืืช. So, what happens if That brings out the true ืืืืช that you have, a ืืืืช ื ืฆืื which is ืืืืง to the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ. That brings the real ืืืืื when this will be ื ืชืืื, when this will be revealed. ืืื ืืื ืคืืจืฉืืื ืืืง ืื ืคื ืืืืืชืืืงืข ืืขื ืคืืจ ืืืืก ืขืก ืืื ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ. This explains also the deeper reason why ืืืงืข the ืงืฅ was closed up from him. The ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ made it so that he shouldn't tell them the ืงืฅ. Why? ืืืืื ืืขืจ ืงืฅ ื ืชืืื ืืขืืืืจื, had the ืงืฅ been revealed, ืืืืื ืขืคืขืก ืืขืคืขืื ืืื ืืขื ืขื ืื ืคืื ืชืืงืฃ ืืืืืช, ืืืืื the ืืืืช wouldn't be so bad. As long as they knew the ืงืฅ, we said before, that makes it lighter, even though the ืืืืช is bad, but if you notice you see the light ahead, it makes it easier. And if it makes it easier, the ืืืืช is not so strong. ืืืืื ืืืื ืื ืฉืืืืืช ืืืืืื ืืืืก ืงืืื ืืืจื ืืืืช? Since the ืฉืืืืืช, wasn't purpose of the ืืืืช to come to the ืืืืื? And when do you really have the real ืืืืื? When the ืืืืช is very strong and nevertheless you do it. So had the ืงืฅ been ื ืชืืื, the ืืืืช wouldn't be so strong. If the ืืืืช is not so strong, then the ืืืืื will not be really so strong, that wouldn't really reveal the real ืืืืช. So that's why the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ made that it should be ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ. ืืืืื now there's ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ, now the ืืืืช is strong, and now this will show the real ืืืืช of the ืืืื, the ืืืืช of ืืขืงื ืืืื ื. ืืืื ืงืขื ืืื ืืกืืืจ ืืืื ืืืืก ืจืฉืดื ืืืื ืฉืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ ืืื ืื ืื ืกืชื ืืื ื. This also explains the ืืฉืื of ืจืฉืดื: he wanted to reveal the ืงืฅ, and to his children, ืื ืกืชื ืืื ื, it got stopped up, taken away from him. ืืืืืจื, ืจืฉืดื ืงืืื ืืื ืืกืืืจ ืืืื ืืขื ืืขื ืคืืจ ืืขื ืืืืก ืคืจืฉื ืื ืกืชืืื. ืจืฉืดื is coming to answer why this ืคืจืฉื is ืกืชืืื, is closed up. ืืืืื ืืขื ืื ืขืจ ืืื ืืืื ืื ื ืกืชื ืืื ื ืืงืฅ. To answer that question, why there's no space in between, why it's ืกืชืืื, ืจืฉืดื could have answered it with two words, three words: why? ื ืกืชื ืืื ื ืืงืฅ. The ืงืฅ was taken away from him. ืืืืก ืืื ืืขื ื ืืืข ืฆื ืืขืจืฆืืืื ืื ืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ, that he wanted to tell the ืงืฅ, and the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ made he shouldn't do it? What's it ื ืืืข that he wanted? To answer the ืงืฉืื why there's a ืกืชืืื, that would be enough with these words. But now we understand that the ืขื ืื, in them is ืืจืืื this as a hint, ืื ืืืจืื, contrary, ืืืงื ืืืจื ื ืกืชื ืืื ื ืืื ืืื ืืืืกืืขืคืืจื ืืืื ืืงืฉื ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ ืืื ืื. It made it a ืืืืข ืคืฉื that ืืขืงื wanted to tell the ืงืฅ, which means reveal the ืงืฅ. When is the real revelation of the ืงืฅ? When they don't know the ืงืฅ. If they don't know the ืงืฅ, ืืืืื the ืืืืช is harder, and they would nevertheless work, then this brings the real ืงืฅ. ืื ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ ืืื ื ืืฉื ืงืืื ืืขืื ืฆืืืื ืืขืื, ืืก ืืฉืืื. The fact that the ืงืฅ is forgotten is not just because the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ wanted to cover it up, they shouldn't know
it, ื ืืจ ืื ืชืืืืช ืืื ืืืื ืื ืืืจื ืืืจ ืืื ืฉืคืขืืขืจ ืืจืืืกืงืืืขื ืืขืจ ืืืืื ืืงืฅ ืืขื ืื. The ืืืืื ืืงืฅ means the revelation of what the ืงืฅ is really. So when ืืขืงื wanted to be ืืืื the ืงืฅ, it happened through ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ. To be ืืืื the ืงืฅ doesn't only mean to tell them. ืคืฉืื ืคืฉื means you wanted to tell them when ืืฉืื will come. It's not that. It means you wanted to be ืืืื the ืขื ืื of the ืงืฅ, bring the ืงืฅ. The only way could he bring the real ืงืฅ, which is the real ื ืฆืื, is ืืืงื when you do not know when the ืงืฅ is, so that you don't see the light and nevertheless you do it. ืืืก ืืืื ื ืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช ืืช ืืงืฅ ืืื ืื ืื ืกืชื ืืื ื. This, what it means: he wanted to reveal the ืงืฅ from his children and it got stopped up from him. ืืฉืขืช ืืขืงื ืืื ืืขืืืืื ืืืฉืื ืืืื ืืื ืืืื ืืืื ืืื ืื ืื ืืืืื, when he wanted to bring, reveal the ืืืืื to them, ืืื ืืืื ืื ืื ืื ืืืื ืืืก ืืืื ืืฉืืืืืช, so his children should have the ืืืืื complete, ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืกืชืืืช ืืงืฅ. That's why it had to be covered up. ืืืก ืืื ืืขืืืขื ืื ืืื ื, this was the preparation, ืื ืืขืจื ืื ืืืื ืืืื, ืืืื ืืื ืืงืื ืืืื ืืืก ืืืืก ืืขืงื ืืืงืฉ ืืืืืช, that they should be able to be ืืืื the, that is, this gave the ืื that the ืืืืช should be harder, ืืืืื the ืืืืื will be a greater one, so the ืืืืื ืืงืฅ will be a stronger one. ืคืืจืฉืืืื ืืืจ?
So the ืืืื will be able to be ืืงืื ืื ืืืืืืื ืคืื ืื ืืืืื ืืขืชืืื, the ืืืืืืื from future ืืืืื.
