Between Law and (the Meraglim) Narrative

Between Law and (the Meraglim) Narrative (Bemidbar15), by Rav Nati Helfgot

This shiur was given during the 2013 Tanakh Study Days at Herzog College / Yeshivat Har Etzion.

Bamidbar 13-15 Bamidbar 41 Parashat Shelach Lekha

This shiur will examine the relationship between the narrative of the spies in Numbers 13-14 and the subsequent chapter of legal material that is found in Ch. 15. We will build on the insights of the classical commentators as well as new readings of these chapters using literary techniques and thematic connections that underlie the various sections.
