I hope you find this meaningful... _______________________________________________ As the Jews wandered the desert, a cloud hovering over the Mishkan would cue when to camp, how long to stay, and when to leave (9:17). The Torah spends seven pesukim (verses) describing how they followed the cloud prompts, which begs the question of why the need to be so verbose. The Lekach Tov suggests that humans are naturally curious beings that try to understand their surroundings. The problem is that we are limited by our intellectual capacity and by the information we are given. We do not see the consequences or future of our reality. These pesukim point out a level of precise compliance that the Jewish people achieved. This acceptance enabled them and can enable us to trust in G-d’s guidance and live at peace with His direction.
