Zohar Balak<\/strong><\/p>\n

#337
\nThe Holy One Blessed be He follows the same method with Israel<\/a>. He gives them a beating; if they don’t accept it, he scolds them; if they still didn’t understand, the Holy One Blessed be He says, I see in my children that because of my beating, they fear that their heads would hurt. I feel that it is because of their pain, as it is written;
\nIsaiah 63:9<\/a>
\n“בְּכָל צָרָתָם לא [לוֹ] צָר וּמַלְאַךְ פָּנָיו הוֹשִׁיעָם בְּאַהֲבָתוֹ וּבְחֶמְלָתוֹ הוּא גְאָלָם וַיְנַטְּלֵם וַיְנַשְּׂאֵם כָּל יְמֵי עוֹלָם.”
\n“In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and His pity He redeemed them, And He bore them and carried them All the days of old.”<\/p>\n

Then I scolded them, and their appearance changed, as it is written;
\nLamentation 4:8<\/a>
\n“חָשַׁךְ מִשְּׁחוֹר תָּאֳרָם לֹא נִכְּרוּ בַּחוּצוֹת צָפַד עוֹרָם עַל עַצְמָם יָבֵשׁ הָיָה כָעֵץ.”
\n“Now their appearance is blacker than soot; They go unrecognized in the streets; Their skin clings to their bones, It has become as dry as wood.”<\/p>\n

They fell into darkness, and I do not recognize them. Now I will beg and implore them, saying;
\nMicah 6:3<\/a>
\n“עַמִּי מֶה עָשִׂיתִי לְךָ וּמָה הֶלְאֵתִיךָ עֲנֵה בִי.”
\n“O My people, what have I done to you? And how have I worn you? Testify against Me.”
\nYou are my only son, the beloved of my soul, see what I did to you, I made you ruler over all my household, and I made you a ruler over all kings of the world. If I did other things, please answer me. You can testify about my actions.<\/p>\n

#338
\nRemember Balak’s advice about the Holy nation and what was Balaam’s reply was. Balak didn’t consider the value of the Torah. He wanted to eradicate the children of Israel<\/a> as it is written;
\nDeuteronomy 26:5<\/a>
\n“וְעָנִיתָ וְאָמַרְתָּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲרַמִּי אֹבֵד אָבִי וַיֵּרֶד מִצְרַיְמָה וַיָּגָר שָׁם בִּמְתֵי מְעָט וַיְהִי שָׁם לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל עָצוּם וָרָב.”
\n“And you shall answer and say before YHVH<\/a> your God: ‘My father was Aramean, about to perish, and he went down to Egypt and dwelt there, few in number; and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and populous.”
