13:17 The question of the week is: ( וַיְהִי,
בְּשַׁלַּח פַּרְעֹה אֶת-הָעָם, וְלֹא-נָחָם אֱלֹקים דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים,
כִּי קָרוֹב הוּא: כִּי אָמַר אֱלֹקים, פֶּן-יִנָּחֵם הָעָם בִּרְאֹתָם
מִלְחָמָה--וְשָׁבוּ מִצְרָיְמָה)
Why didn’t Hashem lead Klal Yisrael straight along the coast and then directly
to Eretz Yisrael because maybe they will see battles and they weren’t ready for
that. This seems to be an incorrect reason.
Moshe
Rabbeinu was already told at the S’neh that Klal Yisrael would get the Torah at
Har Sinai. He was told B’feirush that the Torah would be given B’hahor Hazeh at
this place. So Moshe Rabbeinu was told that the Torah would be given there.
Klal Yisrael had to go B’midbar Sinai to Har Sinai to receive the Torah.
Certainly they weren’t going to conquer Eretz Yisrael and then get the Torah.
Therefore, it seems to be a difficulty (וְלֹא-נָחָם אֱלֹקים דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים) why? (כִּי קָרוֹב הוּא)!
Even without that reason they had to receive the Torah at Har Sinai? This seems
to be a Shtarka Kasha.
