About this listen
Source Sheet Here This Shiur explores the concept of Divine forgiveness, focusing on its meaning and implications in the context of the Israelites' journey from Egypt.
Various commentators, including Ibn Ezra, Ramban, R' Y.S. Riggio, Rashar Hirsch, and Prof. Isaac Mozeson, analyze the Hebrew word "סלח" (salach), often translating it as letting go, extending patience, or alleviating punishment rather than complete absolution.
The sources also discuss Moses's plea for his people after the incident with the spies, differentiating this from his intercession following the Golden Calf, and contemplating whether God's forgiveness was total or partial, as evidenced by the ten times the Israelites tested God.
Ultimately, the discussions clarify the nuances of God's compassion and the consequences of the Israelites' actions.
