א

וַיְהִ֗י אַחֲרֵ֛י מ֥וֹת מֹשֶׁ֖ה עֶ֣בֶד יְהֹוָ֑ה וַיֹּ֚אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ בִּן־נ֔וּן מְשָׁרֵ֥ת מֹשֶׁ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר:

1

And it was after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying:

רש"י

Rashi

וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי מוֹת משֶׁה: מְחוּבָּר עַל סֵדֶר הַתּוֹרָה הַמְסַיֶּימֶת בִּפְטִירַת משֶׁה, וְזֶה מְחוּבָּר לָהּ.

And it was after the death of Moses: This is connected to the order of the Torah which ends with Moses’ passing, and this follows it.

ב

מֹשֶׁ֥ה עַבְדִּ֖י מֵ֑ת וְעַתָּה֩ ק֨וּם עֲבֹ֜ר אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֣ן הַזֶּ֗ה אַתָּה֙ וְכָל־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה אֶל־הָאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֧ר אָנֹכִ֛י נֹתֵ֥ן לָהֶ֖ם לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל:

2

Moses my servant has died; and now arise cross this Jordan, you and all this nation, to the land which I give the children of Israel.

רש"י

Rashi

משֶׁה עַבְדִּי מֵת: וְאִילּוּ הָיָה קַיָּים, בּוֹ הָיִיתִי חָפֵץ. וְרַבּוֹתֵינוּ דְּרָשׁוּהוּ (תמורה טז א) עַל שְׁלשֶׁת אֲלָפִים הֲלָכוֹת שֶׁנִּשְׁתַּכְּחוּ בִּימֵי אֶבְלוֹ שֶׁל משֶׁה. בָּא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְשָׁאַל, אָמַר לוֹ הַקָּבָּ"ה: משֶׁה עַבְדִּי מֵת וְהַתּוֹרָה עַל שְׁמוֹ נִקְרֵאת, לוֹמַר לְךָ: אִי אֶפְשָׁר, צֵא וְטוֹרְדָן בְּמִלְחָמָה.

Moses My servant has died: If he were alive, I would prefer him. The Rabbis interpret this passage as a reference, not to Moses the leader, but to Moses the Lawgiver, concerning the 3,000 laws that were forgotten during the period of mourning for Moses. Joshua came and asked the Lord to repeat these laws to him. Said to him the Holy One, Blessed be He: Moses My servant has died, and the Torah is called by his name, implying to you that it is impossible [to convey them to you.] Go out and occupy them with martial activities.

ג

כָּל־מָק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּדְרֹ֧ךְ כַּֽף־רַגְלְכֶ֛ם בּ֖וֹ לָכֶ֣ם נְתַתִּ֑יו כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבַּ֖רְתִּי אֶל־מֹשֶֽׁה:

3

Every place on which the soles of your feet will tread I have given to you, as I have spoken to Moses.

רש"י

Rashi

כָּל מָקוֹם אֲשֶׁר תִּדְרֹךְ: כַּיּוֹצֵא בּוֹ נֶאֱמַר לְמשֶׁה, וְשָׁנִינוּ בְּסִפְרֵי (פר' עקב): אִם לְלַמֵּד עַל תְּחוּמֵי אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל, הֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר: מֵהַמִּדְבָּר וְהַלְּבָנוֹן הַזֶּה, אִם כֵּן לָמָּה נֶאֱמַר: כָּל מָקוֹם אֲשֶׁר תִּדְרֹךְ כַּף אַף חוּצָה לָאָרֶץ, מִשֶּׁתִּכְבְּשׁוּ אֶת הָאָרֶץ, כָּל מַה שֶּׁתִּכְבְּשׁוּ מִחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ יִהְיֶה קָדוֹשׁ וְיִהְיֶה שֶׁלָּכֶם.

Every place on which [the soles of your feet] will tread: A similar statement to this was said to Moses, concerning which we learned in Sifrei : If this verse is to teach about the boundaries of Eretz Israel, the Scripture already states: From this desert and Lebanon etc., [clearly defining the boundaries of the Holy Land.] If so, why is it stated, ‘Every place where your foot will tread?’ Even outside of Eretz Israel. [I.e.] After you have conquered the land, all that you will conquer outside the land, will be holy and will be yours.

ד

מֵהַמִּדְבָּר֩ וְהַלְּבָנ֨וֹן הַזֶּ֜ה וְֽעַד־הַנָּהָ֣ר | הַגָּד֣וֹל נְהַר־פְּרָ֗ת כֹּ֚ל אֶ֣רֶץ הַחִתִּ֔ים וְעַד־הַיָּ֥ם הַגָּד֖וֹל מְב֣וֹא הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ יִֽהְיֶ֖ה גְּבֽוּלְכֶֽם:

4

From this desert and Lebanon to the great river, the Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the great sea westward shall be your boundary.

רש"י

Rashi

מֵהַמִּדְבָּר וְהַלְּבָנוֹן הַזֶּה: הוּא מִדְבַּר קָדֵשׁ, מִדְבַּר צִין שֶׁעַל יְדֵי אֱדוֹם, שֶׁהָיָה בְּמִקְצוֹעַ דְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית וְדֶרֶךְ שָׁם נִכְנְסוּ לָאָרֶץ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (במדבר כ טז): וְהִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ בְקָדֵשׁ וְגוֹמֵר, וּמִנַּיִין שֶׁהָיָה בִּדְּרוֹמִית מִזְרָחִית, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (שם לד ג): וְהָיָה לָכֶם פְּאַת נֶגֶב מִמִּדְבַּר צִין עַל יְדֵי אֱדוֹם.

From this desert and Lebanon: [I.e.] the Desert of Kadesh, the Desert of Zin [that is near Edom], which was in the southeastern corner, through which they entered the land, as it is stated: And behold, we are in Kadesh. Now, whence is it derived that it was in the southeast? For it is stated: And the south side shall be to you from the desert of Zin near Edom etc.

וְעַד הַנָּהָר הַגָּדוֹל נְהַר פְּרָת: זֶה רָחְבָּהּ מִדָּרוֹם לְצָפוֹן.

to the great river, the Euphrates: This is its width from south to North.

כָּל אֶרֶץ הַחִתִּים: בַּכְּלָל הַזֶּה.

all the land of the Hittites: is included.

וְעַד הַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל מְבוֹא הַשָּׁמֶשׁ: לְאָרְכָּהּ, מִן הַמִּזְרָח לַמַּעֲרָב.

to the great sea westward: Lengthwise from east to west.

ה

לֹֽא־יִתְיַצֵּ֥ב אִישׁ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֣י חַיֶּ֑יךָ כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר הָיִ֚יתִי עִם־מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶהְיֶ֣ה עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹ֥א אַרְפְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֥א אֶעֶזְבֶֽךָּ:

5

No man shall stand up before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so shall I be with you. I will not weaken My grasp on you nor will I abandon you.

Rashi

רַק חֲזַק וֶאֱמַץ מְאֹד: בְּתּוֹרָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר: לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשׂוֹת כְּכָל הַתּוֹרָה.

Just be strong and very courageous: in Torah, as the Scripture states: “To observe and to do in accordance with all of the Torah.”

8

This book of the Torah shall not leave your mouth; you shall meditate therein day and night, in order that you observe to do all that is written in it, for then will you succeed in all your ways and then will you prosper.

רש"י

Rashi

סֵפֶר הַתּוֹרָה הַזֶּה: סֵפֶר מִשְׁנֵה תּוֹרָה הָיָה לְפָנָיו.

This book of the Torah: The book of Deuteronomy was before him.

וְהָגִיתָ בּוֹ: וְהִתְבּוֹנַנְתָּ בּוֹ, כָּל הִגָּיוֹן שֶׁבַּתּוֹרָה בַּלֵּב, כְּמָה דְּאַתְּ אָמַר (תהלים יט טו): וְהֶגְיוֹן לִבִּי לְפָנֶיךָ, (ישעיהו לג יח): לִבְּךָ יֶהְגֶּה אֵימָה.

And you shall meditate therein: והגית. Every expression of הגיון in the Scriptures refers to the heart, as it is stated: “And the meditation of my heart (והגיון לבי) before you.” Your heart will meditate (יהגה) fear.

9

Did I not command you, be strong and have courage, do not fear and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

רש"י

Rashi

הֲלוֹא צִוִּיתִיךָ חֲזַק וֶאֱמָץ: בְּמִלְחָמָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: אַל תַּעֲרֹץ וְאַל תֵּחָת. וְהֵיכָן צִוָּהוּ בִּימֵי משֶׁה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים לא כג): וַיְצַו אֶת יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן וְגוֹ'.

Did I not command you, be strong and have courage: in war; as it is stated: Do not fear and not be dismayed. Now, when did he command him? In Moses’ time, as it is stated: “And command Joshua, etc.”

י

וַיְצַ֣ו יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ אֶת־שֹֽׁטְרֵ֥י הָעָ֖ם לֵאמֹֽר:

10

And Joshua commanded the officers of the nation, saying:

רש"י

Rashi

וַיְצַו יְהוֹשֻׁעַ: בְּיּוֹם שֶׁתַּמּוּ יְמֵי בְּכִי אֵבֶל משֶׁה.

And Joshua commanded: on the day that the days of the weeping in the mourning of Moses were ended.

י״א

עִבְר֣וּ | בְּקֶ֣רֶב הַמַּֽחֲנֶ֗ה וְצַוּ֚וּ אֶת־הָעָם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הָכִ֥ינוּ לָכֶ֖ם צֵדָ֑ה כִּ֞י בְּע֣וֹד | שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָמִ֗ים אַתֶּם֙ עֹבְרִים֙ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֣ן הַזֶּ֔ה לָבוֹא֙ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם נֹתֵ֥ן לָכֶ֖ם לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ:

11

Go through the midst of the camp and command the nation saying: Prepare provision for yourselves, for in another three days you will cross this Jordan to come and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you to inherit.

רש"י

Rashi

הָכִינוּ לָכֶם צֵדָה: כָּל דָּבָר הַצָּרִיךְ לַדֶּרֶךְ וּכְלֵי זֵינָם לַמִּלְחָמָה אָמַר לָהֶם לְתַקֵּן, שֶׁאִם אַתָּה אוֹמֵר בְּמַאֲכָל וּבְמִשְׁתֶּה, הֲרֵי הָיוּ מִסְתַּפְּקִים בַּמָּן שֶׁבִּכְלֵיהֶם עַד ט"ז בְּנִיסָן, וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר (לקמן ה יב): וַיִּשְׁבֹּת הַמָּן מִמָּחֳרָת (מִפִּי רַבִּי).

Prepare provisions for yourselves: everything necessary for the way. He told them to prepare weapons for battle. For, if you say it refers to food and drink, were they not supplied by the manna which was in their vessels until Nissan 16? For so it is stated: “And the manna ceased on the morrow.”

בְּעוֹד שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים: בְּסוֹף שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים, בְּעוֹד שֶׁתִּהְיוּ כָּאן שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים וְאַחַר תַּעֲבֹרוּ.

in another three days: [lit. in yet three days, i.e.] At the end of three days, when you will still be here three days, and afterwards you will cross.

י״ב

וְלָרְאוּבֵנִי֙ וְלַגָּדִ֔י וְלַֽחֲצִ֖י שֵׁ֣בֶט הַֽמְנַשֶּׁ֑ה אָמַ֥ר יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ לֵאמֹֽר:

12

And to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, saying:

י״ג

זָכוֹר֙ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֥ה אֶתְכֶ֛ם מֹשֶׁ֥ה עֶֽבֶד־יְהֹוָ֖ה לֵאמֹ֑ר יְהֹוָ֚ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם֙ מֵנִ֣יחַ לָכֶ֔ם וְנָתַ֥ן לָכֶ֖ם אֶת־הָאָ֥רֶץ הַזֹּֽאת:

13

Remember the word that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you saying: The Lord your God is giving you rest and has given you this land.

י״ד

נְשֵׁיכֶ֣ם טַפְּכֶם֘ וּמִקְנֵיכֶם֒ יֵֽשְׁב֕וּ בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר נָתַ֥ן לָכֶ֛ם מֹשֶׁ֖ה בְּעֵ֣בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֑ן וְאַתֶּם֩ תַּֽעַבְר֨וּ חֲמֻשִׁ֜ים לִפְנֵ֣י אֲחֵיכֶ֗ם כֹּ֚ל גִּבּוֹרֵ֣י הַחַ֔יִל וַֽעֲזַרְתֶּ֖ם אוֹתָֽם:

14

Your wives, your children, and your cattle shall settle in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan, and you, all the warriors, shall cross over armed before your brothers, and you shall help them.

רש"י

Rashi

כָּל גִּבּוֹרֵי הַחַיִל: שֶׁבָּכֶם יַעַבְרוּ חֲלוּצִים.

all the warriors: among you shall cross over armed.

ט״ו

עַ֠ד אֲשֶׁר־יָנִ֨יחַ יְהֹוָ֥ה | לַֽאֲחֵיכֶם֘ כָּכֶם֒ וְיָֽרְשׁ֣וּ גַם־הֵ֔מָּה אֶת־הָאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֖ם נֹתֵ֣ן לָהֶ֑ם וְשַׁבְתֶּ֞ם לְאֶ֚רֶץ יְרֻשַּׁתְכֶם֙ וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם אוֹתָ֔הּ אֲשֶׁ֣ר | נָתַ֣ן לָכֶ֗ם מֹשֶׁה֙ עֶ֣בֶד יְהֹוָ֔ה בְּעֵ֥בֶר הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן מִזְרַ֥ח הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ:

15

Until the Lord gives your brothers rest as He has given you, and they too shall inherit the land that the Lord your God gives them. You will then return to the land of your inheritance which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on this side of the Jordan towards the rising of the sun, and you will inherit it.

רש"י

Rashi

מִזְרַח הַשָּׁמֶשׁ: עֵבֶר מִזְרָחִי שֶׁל יַרְדֵּן.

toward the rising of the sun: The eastern side of the Jordan.

ט״ז

וַֽיַּֽעֲנ֔וּ אֶת־יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ לֵאמֹ֑ר כֹּ֚ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוִּיתָ֙נוּ֙ נַֽעֲשֶֹ֔ה וְאֶל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּשְׁלָחֵ֖נוּ נֵלֵֽךְ:

16

And they answered Joshua saying: All that you have commanded us we shall do and wherever you send us we shall go.

י״ז

כְּכֹ֚ל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁמַ֙עְנוּ֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה כֵּ֖ן נִשְׁמַ֣ע אֵלֶ֑יךָ רַ֠ק יִֽהְיֶ֞ה יְהֹוָ֚ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ עִמָּ֔ךְ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיָ֖ה עִם־מֹשֶֽׁה:

17

Just as we obeyed Moses in everything, so shall we obey you. Only that the Lord your God be with you as He was with Moses.

י״ח

כָּל־אִ֞ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־יַמְרֶ֣ה אֶת־פִּ֗יךָ וְלֹֽא־יִשְׁמַ֧ע אֶת־דְּבָרֶ֛יךָ לְכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־תְּצַוֶּ֖נּוּ יוּמָ֑ת רַ֖ק חֲזַ֥ק וֶֽאֱמָֽץ:

18

Every man that shall rebel against your words and will not listen to your commands in all that you order him shall be put to death. Only be strong and have courage.

רש"י

Rashi

יַמְרֶה: יַקְנִיט אֶת דְּבָרֶיךָ.

that shall rebel [against your words]: defy your words.

Five possessions did the Holy Blessed One, set aside as his own in this world, and these are they: The Torah, one possession; Heaven and earth, another possession; Abraham, another possession; Israel, another possession; The Temple, another possession. 1a) The Torah is one possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written, “The Lord possessed (usually translated as ‘created’) me at the beginning of his course, at the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22). 2a) Heaven and earth, another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “Thus said the Lord: The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool; Where could you build a house for Me, What place could serve as My abode? (Isaiah 66:1) And it says: “How many are the things You have made, O Lord; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions” (Psalms 104:24). 3a) Abraham is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “He blessed him, saying, “Blessed by Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth” (Genesis 15:19). 4a) Israel is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “Till Your people cross over, O Lord, Till Your people whom You have possessed” (Exodus 15:16). And it says: “As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land, my whole desire (possession) is in them” (Psalms 16:3). 5a) The Temple is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “The sanctuary, O lord, which your hands have established” (Exodus 15:17”, And it says: “And He brought them to His holy realm, to the mountain, which His right hand had possessed” (Psalms 78:54).

 


I like to call out to all my Jewish friends:

Zechariah 8:23

 

23So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."

 

כגכֹּֽה־אָמַר֘ יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֚ר יַֽחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם:

ten men: from the seventy nations. This equals seven hundred for each corner. For the four corners of the tallith there will be two thousand and eight hundred.

 

עשרה אנשים: משבעים לשון הרי שבע מאות לכל כנף וכנף הרי לד' כנפי הטלית אלפים ושמונ' מאו':

That may come in fulfillment in our days:

Our souls are bearing the ‘sparks’ (divine aspects) of Messiah.
It is forbidden to pray to bow down to any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or before any image or to lift up a human being as a god…… or to put any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or any image before or instead or between HaShem and us. ('It suf')
“The redemption will come about only through the study of the Torah. And the essential redemption depends upon the study of the Kabbalah” According to: R. ELIYAHU, THE VILNA GAON (Evven Shelemah (a ‘complete, without defect stone’) 11:3)
When Yehuda and Ephraim come to unity (again) Messiah Ben Joseph 'died' and Messiah Ben David shall be revealed and anointed by the Israeli people as the Messiah-King of Israel. As YeshaYahu is teaching:
Isa 11:9 – 16 They do no evil nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Adonai as the waters cover the sea.
Rashi: knowledge of the Lord: [lit.] to know the Lord.
10 And on that day, there shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the nations shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem.
Rashi: as a banner for peoples: that peoples should raise a banner to gather to him.
11 And it shall be in that day that Adonai sets His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Ěylam and from Shin‛ar, from Ḥamath and from the islands of the sea.
Rashi: a second time: Just as he acquired them from Egypt, when their redemption was absolute, without subjugation, but the redemption preceding the building of the Second Temple is not counted, since they were subjugated to Cyrus.
and from the islands of the sea: the islands of the Kittim, the Romans, the descendants of Esau.
And he shall raise a banner: Perka, perche in O.F. [i.e., the verse is literally referring to the pole upon which the banner is attached.] And it shall be for a sign to gather to him and to bring the exiles of Israel to Him as a present.
12 And He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’ěl, and assemble the dispersed of Yehuḏa from the four corners of the earth.
13 And the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the adversaries of Yehuḏa be cut off. Ephrayim shall not envy Yehuḏa, and Yehuḏa not trouble Ephrayim.
Rashi: Ephraim shall not envy Judah: The Messiah, the son of David, and the Messiah, the son of Joseph, shall not envy each other.
14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they plunder the people of the east, their hand stretching forth on Eḏom and Mo’aḇ, and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them.
Rashi: And they shall fly of one accord against the Philistines in the west: Heb. בְכָתֵף. Israel will fly and run of one accord against the Philistines who are in the west of Eretz Israel and conquer their land. [כָּתֵף, lit. a shoulder, is used in this case to denote unity. The word שֶׁכֶם, also lit. a shoulder, is used in a similar sense.] Comp. (Hoshea 6:9) “They murder on the way in unison (שֶׁכְמָה) ”; (Zeph. 3:9) “One accord (שְׁכֶם אֶחָד).” And so did Jonathan rendered it: And they shall join in one accord to smite the Philistines who are in the west.
and the children of Ammon shall obey them: As the Targum states: Will hearken to them. They will accept their commandments over them.
15 And Adonai shall put under the ban the tongue of the Sea of Mitsrayim, and He shall wave His hand over the River with the might of His Spirit, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and shall cause men to tread it in sandals.
Rashi: And… shall dry up: [lit. shall cut off] to dry it, so that the exiles of Israel will pass through it from Egypt.
over the river: The Euphrates River, for the exiles from Assyria to cross.
with the strength of His wind: Heb. בַּעְיָם. This is hapax legomenon in Scripture, and according to the context it can be interpreted as “with the strength of His wind.”
into seven streams: into seven segments, for the aforementioned seven exiles: from Assyria and from Egypt, etc. Those from the islands of the sea are not from that side.
and He shall lead: the exiles within it.
with shoes: on dry land.
16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Ashshur, as it was for Yisra’ěl in the day when he came up from the land of Mitsrayim.
Rashi: And there shall be a highway: in the midst of the water for the remnant of His people.

It should be most honest:
'Israeli MK proposes dividing Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims

**AMIT HALEVI'S PLAN WOULD GIVE MUSLIMS CONTROL OF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT COMPLEX, WHICH CONTAINS THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE, WHILE JEWS WOULD RECEIVE THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS.

(JUNE 8, 2023 / JNS)**
A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site.
Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits.
According to Halevi, the reorganization makes sense from a religious point of view because that part of the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, where it is believed the First and Second Temples stood. The Foundation Stone at the center of the Dome of the Rock is where Jewish sources place the Holy of Holies.
“This is the place of the First Temple and the place of the Second Temple built by Babylonian immigrants. No one needs to examine the stones to know that it is ours,” he said.
Halevi also wants to end Israel’s agreement with the Jordanian Waqf whereby the Islamic trust controls and manages Islamic edifices on the Temple Mount.
“Why not give them status in the Dizengoff Center [a large shopping mall in Tel Aviv] as well? This is a terrible mistake. This status should be abolished. I know it’s an agreement between countries, but we have to deal with it. It requires change, even if the process will take time,” he said.
In addition, Halevi wants to give Jews the same access to the Temple Mount enjoyed by Muslims. Currently, the Waqf only allows Jews and non-Muslim tourists access to the Temple Mount via the Maghrebi Gate and only at certain hours when the gate is open.
“We will take the northern end and pray there. The entire mountain is sacred to us, and the Dome of the Rock is the place on which the Temple stood. This should be our guideline,” he said. “Israel is leading. It will be a historical, religious and national statement. If this does not happen then you are not actually the owner of the house. You are a klutz. Why are you even going in there?”

Please let we all, Jews and all their friends, take the Har HaBayit and start building the Temple and restoring her service?
