Can someone explain to me why the Torah spends so much time on the neder of a girl aged 12 to 12 1/2 in this week’s parsha.
Thank you.Yechiell,
I will add that she is 12 to 12 1/2 and also married with Kiddushin but no Nisuin yet.
And she is making Vows at this age.Why does this bother you? Is there a reason it should spend less time on it?
ujm,
It is a valid question to understand why the torah that teaches many halachos through an extra letter adds many pesukim for a specific case. The meforshim ask this question by the repeated 5 pesukim in Parsha Naso.
Probably because back then every girl was in this exact situation
Don’t make such jokes.
The girl is a few pesukim worth. The actual question as to why the whole parsha of nedarim is so long, baalei mussar say to expound on the holiness of speech. (“Lo yacheil devaro”)
This is the short time between her becoming bas mitzva and getting married! A unique moment when her father is less responsible for her and the husband is not yet. L’havdil, I think butterflies have also an intermediate state between being a catrpillar and an adult – chrysalis.
