Parshas Beshalach: Even Ezra’s Brutal Truth: Why Your ‘Slave Brain’ is Keeping You Broke and Broken
Trapped between the sea and a charging army, most of us freeze. We revisit that iconic crossroads and ask the uncomfortable question Ibn Ezra raises: why didn’t 600,000 people fight when they could have? The answer isn’t about weapons or odds. It’s about identity. A slave doesn’t just fear—he forgets he has options. That insight becomes a mirror for the places where we stall today, certain the tide will never turn, waiting for a miracle to carry us where courage should.
From there, we shift the battlefield inward. The “inner Pharaoh” isn’t a mythic villain; it’s the voice that sounds like a friend, the impulse that calls and we come. We unpack how the yetzer hara blends into our habits, turning gentle nudges into quiet control, and how to break that spell by building a pause, reclaiming agency, and running toward the right fights. Confidence, we argue, isn’t a feeling you wait for. It’s a strategy you choose.
David and Goliath become our blueprint. David rejects heavy armor, selects tools that fit his training, and runs to close the distance. That run matters. It turns intent into momentum and strips fear of its authority. We translate that pattern into clear steps: reframe the enemy, script a first move, act quickly, and track progress. Along the way we challenge the victim label, replace vague hope with disciplined action, and show how a lifted spirit—nefesh gevoha—opens doors that numbers alone never will.
If you’re ready to stop ceding ground to old narratives, this is your invitation to pick the battlefield, lift your posture, and sprint. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this push, and leave a review with one fight you’re choosing to run toward this week.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.240
There is nowhere to turn.
00:00:02.479 --> 00:00:05.599
The Yamsuv is in front of Klali Israel.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:14.880
And Parohikriv and Paro's bloodthirsty and angry army and mob is gaining on them.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:20.399
Klali Israel is stuck between the Yamsuf and the army, between the rock.
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.640
And a hard place.
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.840
They were greatly frightened.
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.600
They cried out to God.
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.240
A bit of sarcasm.
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.719
Khalisrael turns to their leader and says to Moshe, Were there not enough gravesites?
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.040
Were there not enough Kivarim that we could all be buried in Egypt?
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.439
That you had to bring us out here to die?
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:18.719
Why'd you do this?
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.640
What was the whole point of this drama?
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.319
This epoch.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.239
It's gonna end.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.760
We're dead.
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:29.359
It's no point.
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.000
We were telling you, Moshe, the whole time.
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.719
Wasn't this not what we were telling you?
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.680
Let us be and we'll serve the Egyptians.
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:54.959
It's better for us to serve the Egyptians, to be a slave here, than it is to die out there in the wilderness.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.599
And now look, our greatest fears are coming to fruition.
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.200
We're gonna die out here.
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.959
Because we have nowhere to run.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.360
And our angry taskmasters and previous lords are breathing down our back.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.479
Don't be afraid.
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:29.599
See, witness the deliverance and the salvation that God will do for you.
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.840
You see Egypt.
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.080
You see them today.
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.039
But you'll never see them again.
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.759
So don't miss the show.
00:02:50.159 --> 00:03:07.039
Grab your popcorn and your raisinettes, the Hull of Yisrael edition, make sure not to finish your soda till the end of the incredible smiting that God will do to the Egyptians.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.599
Hashem yi lachem lachem.
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.199
God will do battle for you, continues Moshe.
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.759
But attempt Haharishun.
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.840
And you stay quiet.
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:19.759
Whisper.
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:20.719
Don't talk.
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.639
You're gonna ruin the movie.
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.159
Stay quiet.
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.560
And drink in every detail of the smiting.
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:32.800
You know this story.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.719
You know where this goes.
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.560
You know what happens.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.599
But this week on the weekly Parsha podcast, we're gonna learn something new.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.960
A question that you and I should have asked.
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.240
But we didn't.
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:59.439
But we will be treated to an answer that will change our lives and how we deal with our struggles.
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:17.439
And we'll deal with how it is that one does overcome the slave mentality and does overcome the feeling stuck in life with the same nizionos, with the same challenges.
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.879
It all comes to us because the Ibn Ezra, the great medieval Rishon, the Evan Ezra, asks the following powerful question.
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:42.480
When Moshera Bainu said, stand still and be quiet and enjoy the show, watch the smiting of God upon your old Mitsuri taskmasters.
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.319
God's gonna do it.
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.519
Rak Tiru.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.800
You just need to watch.
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.439
The Evanesra has a question.
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.399
Yesh Litmoah, there is to wonder, there is to ponder.
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.839
How is it that a large camp is afraid?
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:27.600
A camp that comprises 600,000 men, and they're all afraid of those who are pursuing them.
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:43.600
Why don't they fight and stand up for their souls to try to save their lives, Al-Benehem, and to stand up and try to save their children's lives?
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.959
A very point-blank question from the Ebenezer.
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.759
Let's unpack and savor the question.
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.519
Every word is gold here.
00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:03.839
Ebenezer doesn't understand why it is that Clayasural just stood there complaining and wailing and hoping that God will do a miracle.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.519
Why don't they fight?
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:10.480
He says the word Litmoah in Talmudic parlance.
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.480
Litmoa is a question above a imtomar or a vikasha.
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:24.800
A litmoa is a word that implies a powerful, pressing and direct question that needs to be answered.
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.959
And the question is, it's about their fear.
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.160
Why are they afraid?
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.000
How are they afraid?
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.639
They shouldn't have been afraid.
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.079
Their sheer numbers should have given them confidence.
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.279
There's 600,000 men.
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.720
And don't you know how many Egyptians have been slaughtered by this point?
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:52.879
And how scrawny and weary Pyro's troops are?
00:06:53.199 --> 00:07:04.000
Claliesterel should have seen the approaching army and turned their crossbows towards them and slaughtered their old foes.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.759
Why are they afraid?
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:12.879
They have 600,000, quite the formidable number of troops.
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:23.519
Secondly, the Ebenezer's words, the way he asks it, the Lama Loyilachamu al-Nafsham, why don't they stand up for their lives?
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.600
Stand up to save their lives?
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.480
Al Benehem and on their children's lives.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:45.360
Don't you know that when a person is met with the possibility of the end of his life, he fights with a never-before seen type of energy because his life is on the line?
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.360
His very survival tactics kick in.
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:56.720
And when their children's lives are at stake, people find energy that's literally impossible.
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:14.160
Mothers have been documented that they had the ability to lift heavy metal chassis automobiles to save their children, who their souls are stuck and on death's door underneath the car.
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:20.160
But because they were Yelakamu al-Nafsham Va al-Benehem, they found strength to battle back.
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.839
So why not Bene Yesrael?
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:36.480
They had the numbers to fight back, and they had the reason to fight back because their lives were at stake, and their children's lives were at stake.
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.039
I would salt and pepper.
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:48.960
To the Ebenezer's question, Vaolu Yisrael Khamushim, we were told that Klay Yisrael went out armed.
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:50.879
Armed.
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:58.559
They had rifles, AK-47s, and M-16 machine guns to fight back.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:11.759
Why are they not using their armor, their shields, and their spears and their guns to fight back upon the approaching enemy that they could have carved up?
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.799
A powerful question, and let it sit there.
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.639
Listen to what the Evan Ezra says.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.799
Are you a soid goddel, a foundational teaching into the psychology of humans?
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:49.120
The answer he says, quote, Hatshuva, Kiham Mitzrim Hayu Adonim Lisrael, the Zahador Hayotse mi mitzraim, Lomad Mina Urav Lispal Ol Mitzraim, the Nafshafalah, the Echyukhalatali, says the Avenezra.
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.919
The Egyptians were masters over Israel.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.639
They were their overlords.
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:02.080
They ruled over the Israelites for years, hundreds of years.
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:24.799
And now, when Clayastra looks up and sees their masters attacking them, this generation that left Egypt, these are the kids that grew up from their very kindergarten classes have been taught that the Egyptians are in charge of us.
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.159
They dominate us.
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:36.159
You need to tolerate them because Jews, you're a slave, because that potifar or that Haro, he is the dictator.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:42.559
He's the king John or the Vladimir Putin.
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.559
And he's who we serve.
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.039
They grew up in that lifestyle.
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.559
The Napshoi Shefala.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.519
The Jews grew up lowly, downtrodden.
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:12.240
How could a lowly slave, a depressed, lowlife, do war with his master?
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:18.399
They're slaves.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.720
They're not powerful, having worked out.
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:29.279
They're not quick-minded in artillery and militia.
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:40.159
They were waging war with their overlords, their masters, and these folks grew up learning to serve and to tolerate the Egyptians, and they lived a lowly lifestyle, the Israelites.
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.080
How could they possibly wage war?
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.519
They were weak.
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:49.600
The Israelites were feeble, slack, unlearned in war.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:58.080
And for that reason, it never crossed their mind to wage war.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:25.840
Because their psychology, the way that they saw themselves as Avadim, it never would cross their mind, even if they were larger in count and in numbers, to ever wage war because they saw their masters, the man who whipped them just yesterday, now bloodthirsty running towards them, so their mouths dropped.
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.480
Their confidence sank.
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.399
The Evanesra proves this fact.
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.840
I'll prove it to you.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.360
Because he continues.
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.639
Type of attack.
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.200
A tiny nation Amalek was.
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.600
And Lulait Philas Moshe, Haya Kholeshes Yisrael.
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:11.039
If not for Moshe's holding up of his hands and Arun and Khur next to him, the Israelites would have been slaughtered by the tiny army.
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.399
We see it was only a miracle that we escaped.
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.759
But what does the Evan Ezra prove?
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.519
You see that Klaul Yisrael was totally weak, unconfident, had no ability to fight.
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.279
It took a miracle.
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:34.320
So of course they weren't going to turn towards their taskmasters who were rushing towards them and draw the sword.
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.399
It was only Hashem who made a miracle against Amalek that saved them.
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:53.840
And the same thing happened when we were going to cross over the Jordan to wage war against the six or seven kingdoms, the Kanaim.
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:27.279
We see that Hashem killed out this whole nation and only the next generation of Israelites, one that never saw Shalom Ro Gullus, Vahisulah Nefesh Giveah, only the next generation of confident, pompous, haughty, proud soldiers would be the one Kasher's Karti Videevray Mosha would be the one that would actually wage war on the impending and incoming and upcoming battle with the nations that own the territory in the Holy Land.
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:34.639
The Evanazra doubly proved his point that the Kallius Strull had the lowest confidence.
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.039
They had the slave-like mentality.
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.759
So they were broke and they were broken.
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:48.240
And so it never crossed their minds to ever draw the sword and go and slaughter the Mitzrim, even though they could have.
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.919
That's what it seems, because they could have.
00:14:52.399 --> 00:15:03.200
In numbers, it seems they had plenty of men, and what they were fighting for should have given them sufficient cause and a sufficient hop in their step.
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.679
But they didn't because they had the Avde Paro mindset, so it never crossed their mind to go to war.
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:17.600
Does the Nikuda not scream from the mountaintops, friends?
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.120
That why does a person not wage war?
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.840
Why does a person not wage war?
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:37.679
Because their mindset was that of a helpless, lowly heved.
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.080
They got lucky they got a miracle.
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:48.399
But folks, Hashem doesn't do overt miracles nowadays.
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.200
That was kind of a one-time thing.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:16:00.080
But see, we have adversaries and armies like Pyro barreling down on us.
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.120
Don't be naive.
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:12.399
You know the Chovos Halavovis in the fifth gate, the Sharjira Maisa and the gate of the whole hearted devotion, the unity of action, chapter five.
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:19.120
You know the golden words of Rabinu Bahya ibn Pekuda.
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.200
You know, key.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:26.480
So na'acha ha godo baolamhu yitzrecha ha nimser bekochos naf shekha.
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.080
You have a Yatsahara.
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.759
You have an adversary.
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:34.000
You have an army of paro barreling down on you.
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.159
Bahama uriv b mezeg ruchecha.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:43.600
Bahamashtatev imcha bahan hogashu shekha ha gufnium ba ruchniyim.
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.519
Ham mosha besodos nafcha utsofanli becha.
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.360
Baal atossecha beholdnu alsecha.
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.519
The evil inclination is blended into the powers of your soul.
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.799
The evil is mixed into the temperament of your spirit.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:17.200
The Yatsahara in you partners with you in the conduct of your physical and spiritual senses, who rules over the secrets of your soul and the hidden recesses of your heart.
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:29.359
He is your advisor in all of your movements, who appears to you in the guise of a loyal comrade and counselor, and you're drawn to his will.
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.440
And he does not sleep regarding you.
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.920
Yet you are asleep regarding him.
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.160
He does not overlook you.
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:41.440
Yet you overlook the Yet Zahara.
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:51.279
In many ways, we have a war that needs to be waged.
00:17:53.279 --> 00:18:05.359
But many of us, this Yet Zahara, that's sofun, that's hidden, the Yetsahara, who's part and parcel of everything we eat, he's pushing you towards one type of approach.
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.640
Everything that you touch or you see, he's pushing you.
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:11.039
He's part and parcel with you.
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:24.240
You're like the odd couple, where half of you wants to do good, but involved in all of the good, there's also some pleasure seeking and some ego stroking.
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.759
So many of us have given up this battle.
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:35.039
Many of us have said in certain areas of our lives that I'm a slave.
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:38.000
I've been dominated for so long.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:49.039
So many of us suffer from the same problem that the Jewish people suffered as to why they didn't wage war against Paro.
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:53.920
It's because Claliestral suffered from the slave-like mentality.
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.240
They had no confidence in war.
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:58.400
They were downtrodden and broken.
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:12.160
So many of us have given up and consider ourselves slaves to our passions, slaves to what the Yatsahara entices us to do or to see.
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:23.039
And we lack the delusional confidence needed to push the Yet Zahara up against the ropes.
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:30.799
Just how bad has servitude gotten for many of us?
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:37.519
The way the Bali Musar put it, that there's this interesting way to acquire an animal.
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:38.799
It's called meshika.
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.039
It shows a mode of ownership over an animal.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.720
Meshika means to pull or to schlep along.
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:53.039
It kind of shows that you're the owner of it, therefore granting you acquisition of the animal.
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:59.920
And then the Gemara disputes as to what the halocha is, Mesekhta.
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.160
Keddushin, Dafchaf Bezumid Baez.
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:13.200
If you're to call an animal, say, come here, Bessie, come this way, you called it Khoire La'a Uba'a, and then it starts to come.
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:16.079
It hears its master's voice and begins to come.
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:23.200
Shmuel points out that when it comes to doing a meshika by your voice with an animal, it works.
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:32.640
Because just like schlepping the animal shows ownership, shows dominion, and it makes you have the kenyon, so too, Kore La'a Vahuba.
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:38.160
If you call an animal and it comes towards you, that is a valid form of meshika and that works.
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:48.880
However, says Shmuel, when it comes to Kaire Lava Huba, when you try to do that on a human slave, it doesn't work.
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:50.880
If you say, come here, Mr.
00:20:51.039 --> 00:21:04.720
Slave, you call him by his name, and he does come and starts walking towards you, your hired help, or unpaid help, the servant, the slave, it doesn't work because he has das.
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:07.839
He has his own intelligence and free will.
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:13.519
So the Kyre La of Ahuba, it won't work when trying to acquire an Evid.
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:22.319
But the Bali Musar point out how many of us, the Aetsahara, calls to us.
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:27.279
He's Kire La of Ahuba, that we've lost all self-control.
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:39.039
And every time that he puts a different pleasure, a different party, a different sense of complacency, something else for you to chase.
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.720
We simply forget our intelligence and run towards it.
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.480
Kire La of Ahuba.
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:54.880
You just run after it without any pushing back or any free will because you've become so dominated by the Yetsahara and his tricks.
00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:00.640
You've thrown in the towel and said, this is how I am, and I'll always be like that.
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:22.000
He calls us, and like Bessie the cow, we come running to the food, to the party, to the nonsense, to the pleasure, to the complacency, to the ego stroking, to whatever it is that you continue to run towards, that I continue to run towards.
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:32.079
To overthrow him, to grab back our intelligence, to say no when he calls.
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:35.519
It takes a change of mindset.
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:47.359
You have to realize that how you view yourself and how you view your enemy will dictate whether or not you lose or you win.
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:53.599
It will even dictate if you even decide to pick up your AK-47 and run into the battlefield.
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.480
That's what the Evan Ezra has shown us here.
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:58.880
Let us be crystal clear.
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:09.200
We see from the Evan Ezra that the way that you view the person who is the enemy, if you view him like a master, then you won't even fight, even if you can win.
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.880
But if you view him, we can infer.
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:18.880
If you view him in a way that you can dominate, you view him in a way with confidence.
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:20.799
Did you hear what the Evan Ezra said?
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:27.599
That God's, he he made this generation pass, and only the next generation that would go to war against the Canaanites.
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.640
Did you hear his lushin?
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.200
He said he wanted a nephesh give voya.
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:36.880
It takes arrogance, haughtiness, a bit of delusional confidence.
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:42.160
How you look at your enemy, that you say, I'm going to eat you like lunch.
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:51.680
That's how battles are waged, wars are fought, and victories are had.
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.240
That's how winning is done.
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:56.720
But the mindset of a champion.
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:00.160
You know who acted like this?
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.279
Dovadamelech, the ultimate champion.
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:06.640
Safer Schmul Aleph, Peregud Zion.
00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.319
There's a huge standoff.
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:09.599
Let me set the scene.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:17.039
The Pelishim and Beneasaral are camped on opposite sides of the mountains with the valley in between them.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:32.640
Golias, Goliath, the large giant, comes out for 40 days, morning and evening, mocking and laughing the Jewish army, challenging them, send someone forth to battle with me.
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:46.240
David, the unassuming redhead, is sent by his father Yishai to bring some food for his older brothers who were on the front lines.
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:49.279
Kind of like a saving private Ryan initiative.
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.960
He hears Goliath.
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:58.640
He hears Golias's blasphemy and arrogance, and he's disturbed, is David Amelech.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.240
00:00:02.479 --> 00:00:05.599
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:14.880
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:20.399
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:22.640
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:47.840
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.600
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.240
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.719
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.040
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.439
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:18.719
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.640
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.319
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.239
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:27.760
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:29.359
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.000
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.719
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.680
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:54.959
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.599
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.200
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.959
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.360
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.479
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:29.599
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.840
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:40.080
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.039
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.759
00:02:50.159 --> 00:03:07.039
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.599
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.199
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.759
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:17.840
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:19.759
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:20.719
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:22.639
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.159
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.560
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:32.800
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.719
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.560
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.599
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.960
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.240
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:59.439
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:17.439
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:26.879
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:42.480
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.319
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:49.519
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:50.800
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.439
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.399
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.839
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:27.600
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:43.600
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.959
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:51.759
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.519
00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:03.839
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.519
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:10.480
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:16.480
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:24.800
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.959
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.160
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.000
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.639
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.079
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.279
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.720
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:52.879
00:06:53.199 --> 00:07:04.000
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.759
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:12.879
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:23.519
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.600
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.480
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:45.360
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.360
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:56.720
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:14.160
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:20.160
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.839
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:36.480
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.039
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:48.960
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:50.879
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:58.559
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:11.759
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:14.799
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:18.639
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.799
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:49.120
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.919
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.639
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:02.080
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:24.799
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:26.159
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:36.159
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:42.559
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.559
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.039
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.559
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.519
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:12.240
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:18.399
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.720
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:29.279
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:40.159
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:42.080
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:43.519
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:49.600
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:58.080
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:25.840
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.480
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.399
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.840
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:35.360
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.639
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:57.200
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.600
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:11.039
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.399
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:17.759
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.519
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.279
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:34.320
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.399
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:53.840
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:27.279
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:34.639
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.039
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.759
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:48.240
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.919
00:14:52.399 --> 00:15:03.200
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:11.679
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:17.600
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.120
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.840
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:37.679
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.080
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:48.399
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.200

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:19.120
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.200
