Moshe’s Anger about Sparing the Daughters of Midyan
About this episode
This episode explores Moshe's anger regarding the sparing of the daughters of Midyan and Rashi's interpretation of the situation.
Parshas Mattos: While Moshe got angry that the Jews left the daughters of Midyan alive, Rashi (Bamidbar 31:13) introduces a different problem that’s seemingly absent from the text: that the children were taking some spoils of war. This episode investigates where Rashi gets this idea and analyzes its connection to the explicit sin of sparing the women.
