Description

After Bnei Yisroel received the Torah, they journeyed from Har Sinai for three days. Their entry into Eretz Yisroel appears imminent. But here the Torah interrupts the journey with a short passage bracketed by two inverted letter “nun”s. The inserted passage refers to the Holy Ark traveling and rising to destroy the enemies of Hashem, and then returning to rest among the myriads of Bnei Yisroel. Our sages ask why the Torah interrupts the narrative with these verses? What can we read between the lines and between the inverted “nun”s?
