- Statistics are the essence not only of the emergence and Presence and הנהגה of the cosmos, but is the nature of a cosmos that can never be more than a statistical sampling of possible universes, of one רבי אליעזר בן פדת among others. Thus the very words of Moshe are for the first time seen as the actual essence of the fabric of reality, the true solution to his insistence that he would never be a בלעם who was entirely an איש דברים! This is an איש דברים in the יקרות of קרי and thus it is ויקרא that makes במדב"ר possible, which in turn allows Moshe to become an איש דברים which not coincidentally can write himself the very words of דברים as Torah.
The parasha of transition, of חוק and דיבור—part of the Chumash of transition and the Chumash of דיבור, the development of Moshe through מדבר into איש דברים from a committed לא איש דברים, the most definitive moment of Moshe’s life The moment of transition is the ודברתם אל הסלע, transforming him from one who searched to translate God’s words into Creation, wielding a מטה as a translator after running away from the use of שמות to kill, into a man whose own דיבור needed to be used to fulfill the power of מטה become the nature of reality. In this he created Purim and the true relationship between השתדלות and בטחון: the מקום אח"ר is the ultimate רצון השם in terms of the output of the universe but not a definition of the way in which the process should lead to that output, is an amazing commitment to every instant of עבודה the meaning of every event that is part of that process which is the מקום אחר. This is why Esther has all the more drive to act just as all must realize that the entire basis and matrix of every possible meaning of the very fabric of the universe. The רצון השם is the same in gravity as in providing Adam the license to act: both are emergent Will in the … Mitzva is not mechanical, nor is there a reason to find the esthetic impact, not an assertion of what needs to be, but as much a translation as anything else.
Complete unity of the various approaches to the הכאת הסלע and the nature of חוקת and its separation of חוק ומשפט. The breakdown in אמונה of Ramban (classic, separation between the שם הגדול and זעיר אנפין) which led to the need to hit twice in order to link the two worlds is as much a breakdown in כלל ופרט as per אבן עזרא and the loss of ability to deal holistically, is the Zohar’s distinction of זאת התורה vs. זאת חוקת and the connection of the וא"ו which is ת"ת that links them as one, which is Rashi’s need to act mechanically rather than mind having direct impact upon world (which answers Ramban’s question of why the מטה was necessary—not to bang with, any more than a sophisticated radio controlled electronic sequence door opener should be used by the kaffir to smash the glass on the door to open it!) is the challenge of Moshe’s leaving his wife or missing R. Akiva’s shiur, or any one’s inability to translate love into an ability to have a normal conversation...and is the entire issue of the Giants who know how to use דיבור even in their lowest student, בלעם-בלק. In fact the advantage that בלעם had over בלק was better articulation where בלק was the greater magician.
