Army says it acted in accordance with deal, which allows Israel to strike in ‘self-defense’; Hezbollah official says terror group ‘not concerned’ by Israel-Lebanon talks
The Israeli military on Saturday confirmed carrying out several strikes in southern Lebanon over the previous day against Hezbollah operatives who “violated the ceasefire understandings,” in the first such action since the truce took effect at midnight between Thursday and Friday.
The announcement of the strikes came a day after US President Donald Trump said that Israel was “prohibited” from bombing Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, though a US official later clarified to The Times of Israel that while IDF can not carry out any offensive military operations, the terms of the truce allow it to carry out defensive strikes against “planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks.”
Here's my question.
ReplyDeleteIn Parshas Yisro, on the verse that says "On the morrow, Moshe sat down to judge the people", Rashi says "the morrow" is the day after Yom Kippur. After all, that was the first day they had the Torah so it was the first day he could judge them.
However, in Vayakhel, we are told that on the day after Moshe Rabeinu, a"h" got back, he started the donation drive for the Mishkan.
So which was it?
Firstly, in V12, which is the day before the day after of the following verse, it says that Aaron and all the elders came to eat bread with yitro. So it's unlikely to have been Yom Kippur in V12.
DeleteV13 says on the morrow, which is the next day.
Secondly, Ramban refutes Rashi and says it could mean several days after...
So there is both reason and authority to not accept Rashi' on this verse.
The Maharal addresses your first point. Yom Kippur wasn't observed before Matan Torah and therefore the day Moshe got back would've been a normal day, the first Yom Kippur fast being the next year.
DeleteAnd yes, I agree with the second part but how does Rashi handle this contradiction?
