ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף דברים 9:7

Some difficulties in the text of our Parshah. 1) What manner of people is this that wishes itself such a horrible death as that experienced by Korach and his followers? (20,3) 2) Why do these people harp on the fact that figs and pomegranates do not grow in the desert, while they are in the middle of accusing their leaders of causing their death from thirst? 3) Why did G'd insist on a verbal command to the rock in question? 4) Why do all the commentators have such problems in explaining the sin of Moses and Aaron, when chapter twenty verse twelve clearly spells it out for us?

And behold, those who have warnings are similar to a person who counts how many grasses are written in a book of botany, yet he does not recognize the benefit of each one and what their names signify. Some of them are mentioned in the book under two names, and he thinks they are two separate entities, like "Remember, do not forget" (Deuteronomy 9:7). And it is also possible for you to place the verse in its appropriate context. Likewise, there are many commandments written in the Torah, but no one pays them proper attention.
