~ Something to Think About ~
פרשת דברים
Parsha Stumpers
By: Daniel Listhaus
- (1:3) Rashi offers four reasons why Moshe rabbeinu waited until right before his death to rebuke klal yisroel. Yet in the very next Rashi, Rashi writes that the reason Moshe waited was because he needed to prove to them first that he did something for them – leading them to battle and winning.
a. How can we reconcile this with the previous Rashi?
b. How could we understand this? Didn’t Moshe already lead them in a war against Amalek and defeat them? Also, there were many things that Moshe rabbeinu did for B’nei Yisroel in the midbar, in fact there was pretty much nothing he didn’t do. So why was entering and winning a battle necessary for Moshe to become “ood enough” to rebuke B’nei Yisroel?
