Supple Spelt & Wonderful Wheat

Listen to this Vayi borod voish mislakachas beto'icha borod. There was fiery, icy hail Makkas borod. The plague is sushmettering. It is absolutely decimating the land of Egypt. There hadn't been such hail. Vayiachah borod, behol eretz mitzrayim. It hit the Egyptians. The entire land, the Goshan was spared, where the Jews were living, and now Paro is waving his white flag and he calls out Lemosheu l'Aaron. Where are y'all? Chathosia p'am, I have messed up. Ha'itiru el Hashem, davint Hashem, please make it stop. Moshe says k'tzaysi es ha'ir, efres is kapai. I'll spread my hands out now. Davin. Ha'atavav adachayodatiki terim t'irun mitpne Hashem elikim. But I know, as for you and your servants, you still have not been humbled before Hashem. You just haven't gotten it. You just don't get it. But then, in a strange turn of events, partres Vayiach continues the very next pasak, going back to describe the hail and the destruction of Egypt Vahapishtava asa'ira nukosak yasai'ira oviv apishtagivol very adposak. The flax and the barley were damaged because the barley was nearly ripe some laws of botany or? And the flax was in its stalks. Enushinovah hitava kusemis lounuku ki afiloshhena. And the wheat and the spell were not damaged, in case you were wondering, because afiloshhainun unklah says, for they are late bloomers, late ripening, very out of place. It would seem this should have been in the destruction details earlier, but at this point Moshe is already planning on going out to daven to make it stop. Listen to this. The Bali-Moshe say something unbelievable. They say that this isn't going back, reverting to the details, but this is the end of Moshe's speech. Paro, just look at the decimation. Because the flax and the barley were damaged. Why Rashi explains here, because they were nearly ripe and they were in its stalks. They were harsh, they were stubborn A plant that is so unwilling to bend, it just snaps when it's hit. I hail from above. But the supple, flexible, easily bendable wheat and spell were not damaged. They're late bloomers, so they were aka flexible, nimble, adjustable. And listen, paro, you should be more wheat and spelled and bend a little. Stop having such a hard heart and all of this could just be a distant memory. Give in, bend a bit. It's such a powerful lesson for us. How frequent do we get into Machloksem or just subtle disagreements? Because we have an inability to act like wheat and spelled and just bend a bit. Give in, because when you give in you're kind of soft and supple, like the barley and wheat domesticated crops belonging to the grass family. You just bend and you pop right back up and you don't get damaged by fiery icy hail. But when you are so stubborn, hard and brittle like flax and barley and you get hit and you have a disagreement, you just snap, that's all for you.
