Chasidut к Бамидбар 26:69

Yismach Moshe

The Hanochites (Numbers 26:5). And see Rashi (first word: family of) that explains this through David (Psalms 122:4) the tribes of Yah are a testimony to Israel etc. see there. And we have to understand what is hinted at by this testimony being given by the name Yah, precisely. And we can explain through what the Alsheich explained in the verse (Isaiah 51:1) "Look at the Rock from which you were hewn" - because Israel's root is from Avraham and Sarah, and both had no strength to conceive, so the father who gave birth to Israel is the letter Hey of the name of the Holy One of Blessing that was added to Avraham, as to say 'Avram does not give birth, but Avraham does' (Bereshit Rabbah 44:10), and the mother giving birth is also through hey, that changed from Sarai to Sarah (Genesis 17:15). And look, it was explained in the books that the Yud of Sarai was separated into two Heys, and pay attention to this to understand. And it is known that the quarry is called Tzur, and the stones quarried from it are called by the names Sela and Even. And according to this, the essence of the quarry of giving birth s the Yud, and the strength to give birth is the Hey, and the fact that they are double each other should not come to mind, just the separating of the letters: we find [that there is] the essence of conception of Israel, and the strength to give birth to them are both Yud and Hey, Y"ah. And this is the tribes of Yah, just as the branches separated out of the body of the tree, so too they separate out from, and seize, the name Yah; and so the name Yah is written in their families to explicit that they are children of Yah, and from Yah they come out, and not from a different people. And this is the explanation for the verse "And Yah chose for Him Yaakov" [can also be read "And Yaakov chose for him Yah"] and understandm because this is true, with the help of Heaven.

Numbers 26,33. “and Tzlofchod, son of Chefer, did not ‎have any sons, but only daughters.”
Serving the Lord truly entails doing so strongly, actively and ‎with love, i.e. love and awe, so that as a result the Creator ‎experiences satisfaction from His creatures. If one serves the Lord ‎only because of fear of punishment it is equivalent to serving the ‎Lord from a feeling of shame. This is reflected in the name ‎צלפחד‎ ‎when broken up as ‎צל פחד‎ “a shadow of fear.” The name of his ‎father, i.e. ‎חפר‎ is reminiscent of Isaiah 24,23 ‎וחפרה לבנה ובושה ‏החמה‎ ,”and the moon shall be ashamed and the sun shall be ‎abashed.” This is hinted at by the words ‎כי אם בנות‎, “only female ‎offspring.”‎

To Yetzer, the Yitzri family. To Shalem, the Shilmi family. A resonance of this verse was told to me in the name of the holy rabbi the Maharza"v (may the memory of the righteous and holy be a blessing), which was said in the name of his father the holy rabbi the Mahari"m (may the memory of the righteous and holy be a blessing), that this pasuk refers to the urge [yetzer]. For when a person desires to follow the advice of their [evil] inclination in any matter, the "family of the inclination" -- many families, and many supports, does the inclination have to [persuade one] to follow it. "To Shalem", that when a person wishes to walk in wholeness [shleimut]of service, the family of wholeness... as stated above. And it completes it, this is its language, and it says this also "To Tachan, the Tachani family" (Numbers 26:35) -- when a person wishes to pray and plead [lehitchanein], then it is the Tachani family, as stated above.
