The
question of the week is: 18:5 (וַיָּבֹא יִתְרוֹ חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה, וּבָנָיו וְאִשְׁתּוֹ--אֶל-מֹשֶׁה: אֶל-הַמִּדְבָּר, אֲשֶׁר-הוּא
חֹנֶה שָׁם--הַר הָאֱלֹ קִ ים) Rashi says (אל
המדבר: אף אנו יודעין שבמדבר היו, אלא בשבחו
של יתרו דבר הכתוב, שהיה יושב בכבודו של עולם ונדבו לבו לצאת אל המדבר, מקום תהו,
לשמוע דברי תורה)
He came
to the Midbar and we are talking about his praise because he lived in Midyan
with great honor and nevertheless he came to the Midbar. Is that so that Yisro
was living in Midyan with great honor?
Rashi
tells us in 2:17 (ויגרשום: מפני הנידוי) that the
other shepards chased away Yisro’s daughters from the well because Yisro was
put into Cheirem as the Sifsei Chachamim there explains. Since he abandoned
their Avodah Zorah he was put into Cheirem. What is Rashi here saying that he
is living in Midyan in great honor? It is a Pliya.
