Why Weren't The Plagues Enough?
As the Israelites made their way towards the Promised Land, they encountered many nations – Edomites, Canaanites, Amorites, Moabites – who greeted them with less than open arms. But after seeing what God did to the Egyptians, wouldn't it have been better to take them in and avoid God's wrath?
Join Rabbi Fohrman and Beth Lesch as they re-examine the text of Numbers to understand how these nations thought about God and the Israelites – and never think about Parshat Balak the same way again.
