October 9, 2011 4:04 am at 4:04 am #1217435Sam2Participant
Chanie: I assume he started a year before Yetziyas Mitzrayim at the Sneh. I don’t think we know when that was, so I’m assuming it was around when the Makkos started which according to I believe a Rashi Al Hatorah is 1 year before they left. From Yetziyas Mitzrayim to Chet Ham’raglim is 17 months (one year+5 months until Av). Then there are 6 more months from Av in the final year until Adar. What did you do differently?
October 9, 2011 3:52 pm at 3:52 pm #1217436chanieMemberSam2; I calculated from Yetziyas Mitzrayim to Chet Haeigel, which was much earlier, where Hashem tells Moshe, ?? ??.
October 9, 2011 4:40 pm at 4:40 pm #1217437am yisrael chaiParticipant“when he only had ??? ?????.”
ONLY???!
“Could you please rephrase that question?”
October 9, 2011 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm #1217438chanieMemberamc; My intention was not to Chas V’sholom belittle ??? ?????. It was meant to be releative as compared to full ?????.
October 9, 2011 5:23 pm at 5:23 pm #1217439chanieMemberWho was Lapidos?
The original owner of a bungalow colony in White Lake??
October 9, 2011 5:29 pm at 5:29 pm #1217440Sam2ParticipantChanie: Ah. K’lal Yisroel weren’t Niduyin Lashamayim yet then so I assumed he still kept full Nevuah until the Meraglim.
October 9, 2011 5:41 pm at 5:41 pm #1217441am yisrael chaiParticipant“My intention was not to Chas V’sholom belittle”
That much is clear, hence the “Could you please rephrase that question?”
October 9, 2011 8:44 pm at 8:44 pm #1217442samhachaimMemberHeres some good and interesting questions.
1) Which people in tanach had the following nicknames: a) yerubal b) badan c) ish ha baynaim
2) Which 2 people in tanach said “I didn’t take anyone’s donkey”
3) In naviim rishonim who was referred to as a “bael saer”(a man of hair) and whom bald.
October 10, 2011 12:16 am at 12:16 am #1217443bekitzurParticipant1. Yerubal – Gidon
Ish HaBaynayim – Galyas
Bedan – a desendant of Menashe (ben Ulam)
2. Shmuel – when Bnei Yisrael asked for a king
Moshe – when he was talking to Korach
3. Ish Baal Saer – Eliyahu
Bald – Elisha
October 10, 2011 12:17 am at 12:17 am #1217444bekitzurParticipantChanie T – I wasn’t thinking of that… It could be another answer though! 🙂
October 10, 2011 3:39 am at 3:39 am #1217445am yisrael chaiParticipant“Who was Lapidos?”
Devorah’s husband (Shoftim 4:4) who had 3 names:
Barak, Michoel, and Lapidos (Yalkut Shimoni Shoftim 42)
October 10, 2011 9:30 am at 9:30 am #1217446samhachaimMemberGood job bekitzur. Although for badan I had in mind shimshon. Here are a few more Q’s:
1) Which 2 people in the Torah wore a scarf?
2) 2 times when “chalon” (window) is mentioned in the torah; and at least 2 women who looked out a window in navvim rishonim?
3) 4 times (different accounts) that a “nachash” (snake) is mentioned in the torah.
October 10, 2011 2:02 pm at 2:02 pm #1217447kgh5771Participantsamhachaim:
1. Rivka and Tamar
2. Noach sent the raven/dove out of the window. Avimelech saw Yitzchak “m’tzachek et ishto” through the window. The two women in Nach who looked out the window are the mother of Sisra, and Michal, the daughter of Shaul
3. The story of the Nachash and Adam and Chava
The story of the N’chasim that were sent after B’nei Yisrael complained about water and food. Moshe made a Nachash N’choshet (B’midbar 21:5-10).
Moshe describes to B’nei Yisrael how Hashem led them through the midbar filled with snakes (D’varim 8:15)
Dan, in Birkat Yaakov is described as a “nachash” (B’reishit 49:17)
And then of course “Nachash” in its other meaning (divination) is used many times in Torah (for instance ini Bircat Bil’am (B’midbar 23:23) and the general prohibitions against “nachash”, “kosem”, etc )
Now if you want to go into Nach, there was a King of Ammon named “Nachash”…
October 10, 2011 5:15 pm at 5:15 pm #1217448samhachaimMemberImpressive!! Here a few more fun ones.
1) Which 2 biblical personalities in the torah (not nach) are referred to as a “zonah” (not necessarily were zonahs)?
2) Which 3 people in the torah lived 137 years?
3) Find 3 of the 4 sons in the torah? (someone who is referred to as a chacham, rasha, tam)?
October 10, 2011 6:55 pm at 6:55 pm #1217449kgh5771Participant1. Tamar (not exactly called, but that she had done ‘the act’) and Dinah (compared to a Zonah)
2. Yishmael, Levi and Amram
2. Yoseph is called Chacham
Moshe called one of the two Yisraelim fighting a Rasha
Yaakov is called “Ish Tam Yoshev Oholim”

October 10, 2011 10:57 pm at 10:57 pm #1217452bekitzurParticipantthis is from ohr.edu
As the sun moves from east to west, Shabbat and Yom Tov occur first in Israel, and then in America. Which mitzva is observed first in New York, and then in Jerusalem?
At the end of Moshe’s life, Hashem shows Moshe the entire land of Israel. But where does the Torah indicate that Moshe saw Chevron long before that?
Which Mitzvah is performed on Wednesday or Thursday only?

October 10, 2011 11:02 pm at 11:02 pm #1217454am yisrael chaiParticipantdz

October 11, 2011 12:01 am at 12:01 am #1217455deiyezoogerMemberAYC, The exect words is ????? ???

This only happens once in GANTZ TANACH
October 17, 2011 1:55 am at 1:55 am #1217460kgh5771Participant“Nas’oo Nashim Nachriot” (Ezra 10:44)
There is a pasuk with three Shin’s in a row (D’varim 12:11) l’shaken SH’mo SHam, SHama tavi’oo.
Also, Megillat Ruth has at least one place with three “Vav”s in a row (3:3) V’rachatzt, Vasacht, V’samt simlatayich
October 17, 2011 2:22 am at 2:22 am #1217461am yisrael chaiParticipantkoillel
did you mean 3 letters in a row in one word?
October 17, 2011 2:23 am at 2:23 am #1217462chanieMemberkgh5771
Moshe called one of the two Yisraelim fighting a Rasha
That is incorrect. Moshe never called him a Rasha. The Torah called him a Rasha. “????? ???? “??? ??? ???
