Torah & Midbar - Chukas 5770

21:18 – 19 יח  בְּאֵר חֲפָרוּהָ שָׂרִים, כָּרוּהָ נְדִיבֵי הָעָם, בִּמְחֹקֵק, בְּמִשְׁעֲנֹתָם; וּמִמִּדְבָּר, מַתָּנָה יט  וּמִמַּתָּנָה, נַחֲלִיאֵל; וּמִנַּחֲלִיאֵל, בָּמוֹת   Chazal interpret the word Matana to mean the Toirah. The Gemara in Eiruvin says that if a person behaves humbly like a Midbar that everyone treads upon, then he is Zoiche that Toirah is given to him as a gift. This idea that Toirah is given as a gift to someone who behaves with humility is one of the 48 things that you are Koine Toirah with.
In the Sefer Yikar Tiferes he explains that this is the way we begin Eloikai Nitzar at the end of Shemone Esrei when we say V’nafshi K’afar Lakoil Ti’ye. This is the concept of a person who treats his own honor and Nefesh as like the dust upon which everyone treads. We follow that with a Bakasha that P’sach Libi B’soirasecha that Hashem should open our hearts to Toirah.
There is a Teshuva in the Netziv’s Maishiv Davar, that a Talmid Chochom was Niftar and he left in his will that his Chidushai Toirah that he learned while learning a Sugya can be published, however, his Teshuvas to people can’t be published because he was not into the Sugya and he didn’t trust himself that the Teshuvas were reliable to print. The children wanted to know if they were Mechuyav to follow the father’s command of not publishing the Teshuvas or is the Toirah not his and he is not in control of the concepts he came up with.
The Netziv bases his answer on our Posuk of וּמִמִּדְבָּר, מַתָּנָה  The Psak he gives is that Toirah can’t belong to a person. Someone can choose where to disseminate his Chiddushim and who to teach it to, that is his right. However, a person can’t say he doesn’t want anyone to have it, as that is not his right.
