16:20 ( וְלֹא-שָׁמְעוּ
אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, וַיּוֹתִרוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִמֶּנּוּ עַד-בֹּקֶר, וַיָּרֻם תּוֹלָעִים,
וַיִּבְאַשׁ; וַיִּקְצֹף עֲלֵהֶם, מֹשֶׁה)When the Man came and Moshe Rabbeinu said don’t leave over any Man
until the next day which Dasan and Aviram did. So the Man became wormy and
spoiled. Moshe was angry with them. When the Torah says (וַיִּקְצֹף) there was something significant for Moshe Rabbeinu to be angry
about not just that they didn’t listen to him. Here it would seem that for Klal
Yisrael this was a good event that took place. Here Klal Yisrael saw that if
they don’t listen to Moshe and they leave over Man until the next day that it
turns wormy and spoiled. Isn’t that wonderful? Why did Moshe Rabbeinu become angry over it?
Rav Druk
brings an insight based from a Meshech Chochmo. Why was it so that they only
had one days worth of food each time the Man fell and of course it was two days
worth of food on Friday or Erev Yom Tov? The reason was to make Klal Yisrael
Maminim in that since they don’t know where their food would come from the next
day they would rely on the Borei Olam for their sustenance.
What got
Moshe Rabbeinu upset? Until this incident Klal Yisrael collected Man and every
night they were obligated to finish it because they couldn’t leave over any
until the next day (אִישׁ,
אַל-יוֹתֵר מִמֶּנּוּ עַד-בֹּקֶר).
They had to finish all of the Man. They had a Yeitzer Hora of where will they
get food from the next day. This was a tremendous Nisayon for them and they
passed the Nisayon. Klal Yisrael didn’t leave anything over and Moshe Rabbeinu
said eat it today and have faith.
Dasan
and Aviram come and leave over until the next day and it becomes spoiled. Moshe
Rabbeinu realized that now Klal Yisrael will not have a Nisayon. Every night
they will of course finish the Man as anything left over will anyway become
spoiled and wormy by the next morning. Suddenly their Kiyum of this Mitzvah of
finishing the Man each night will not be Lishma. It will not be because they
have Bitachon or faith, it is going to be because there is no sense of them
leaving it over. That is why Moshe got upset. Dasan and Aviram cheated Klal
Yisrael out of a tremendous Maaseh that was a Zechus in the Middas Habitachon
of Klal Yisrael.
