Parshas Pinchas - Parsha Stumpers

~ Something to Think About ~
פרשת פנחס
Parsha Stumpers


By: Daniel Listhaus


  1. (Rashi 26:46) Why did Sarach merit such a long life?
  2. (Rashi 27:22) Why did b’nos Telafchad wait so long to ask?
  3. (27:15) Rashi explains that Moshe demanded an answer/response from Hashem. Similarly, Rashi explains in Bamidbar 12:13 regarding Miriam. How could we understand Moshe’s more aggressive behavior at these particular points?
  4. (27:18) Hashem told Moshe that he should put his hand on Yehoshua and lean on him to give him s'meecha. However, the Torah accounts that Moshe leaned on Yehoshua with both his hands. How could Moshe add to the commandment of Hashem? Isn't that bal toseif?
