1) Regarding
the Meraglim, Moshe davens to Hashem in Perek Yud Daled Posuk Yud Cheis, Hashem
Erech Apaiyim V’rav Chesed Nosai Avon
Vofosha V’nakei Lo Yinakei Poked Avon Avos Al Bonim Al Shilashim V’al Ribai’im.
It is quite similar to the Yud Gimmel Middos, however, it is not exactly the
same. Isn’t it strange that we say Hashem Hashem Keil Rachum V’chanun Erech
Apaiyim and Moshe just said Hashem Erech Apaiyim. We know that the Yud Gimmel
Middos are the Middah by which we daven. Moshe skipped Hashem Keil Rachum
V’chanun and goes straight to Erech Apaiyim V’rav Chesed. Why didn’t he use all
the Yud Gimmel Middos?
2) After the
Tefillah by Moshe regarding the Meraglim, we find in Posuk Chaf that Hashem
says Solachti Kid’varecha. What happens after the Ribbono Shel Olam forgives?
Hakadosh Boruch Hu says he will punish them. Ai, I thought Hashem was gong to
forgive? Posuk Chaf Beis says Vayinasu Osi Zeh Eser P’amim that they have
tested Hashem these ten times. Posuk Chaf Gimmel says V’chal M’na’atzai Lo
Yir’uha that all those who have angered Hashem will not be Zoche to see Eretz
Yisrael. Ai, I thought Hashem had said Solachti Kid’varecha? Posuk Chaf Tes
says Bamidbar Hazeh Yiplu Figraichem V’chal P’kudaichem, that in the desert
your corpses shall fall, all of you who were counted according to your numbers
from 20 and above. Ai, I thought Hashem said Solachti Kid’varecha? It is a
Pele.
3) Hashem
says in Posuk Lamed Daled that the punishment will be B’mispar Hayomim Asher
Tar’tem Es Ha’aretz Arbaim Yom, Yom Lashono, Yom Lashono Tisu Es Avonosaichem
Arbaim Shanah, that According to the number of days which you scouted the land,
forty days, a day for a year, a day for a year you will bear the burden of your
iniquity forty years. So the punishment is for 40 years because one year for
every day. Is that the Middah? One year for every day? This expression seems
unfair?
To answer
all 3 of these difficulties, we will start with a Ramban. The Ramban says on
Hashem Erech Apaiyim, which was our first Kasha, the reason Moshe didn’t use
the Yud Gimmel Middos, is because Moshe understood that at this point Klal
Yisroel would not escape without an Onesh. Therefore, he didn’t daven that
there shouldn’t be an Onesh at all.
So what did he ask for? The Klei Yakar is
Masbir, Moshe asked that instead of the punishment coming all at once, it should
be spread over a period of time. Therefore, Hashem said Solachti Kid’varecha.
Hashem forgave the way Moshe had asked, meaning the punishment should be spread
over a period of time. The third question that was asked that it is not fair to
have Yom Lashono, Yom Lashono, it was not a years punishment for each day. Chas
V’shalom. Yom Lashono, it will be 40 days of punishment for 40 days of Cheit.
However, the Erech Apaiyim is that it will be spread out over 40 years. It is a
very Geshmake P’shat in what took place here with Moshe Rabbeinu’s Bakashos.
