Zerah

Chapter fourteen.

In verse nine of chapter fourteen, Second Chronicles, it says that Zerah the Ethiopian came up against Asa with one million soldiers.

That's twice as many as were in Asa's country.

One million soldiers and three hundred chariots.

You're still going to have enemies rise up against you.

So even as God was blessing King Asa and his people, an Ethiopian leader named Zerah led an army of 1 million men to attack Judah.

Judah's army had nowhere near that many men, but Asa courageously led his army to prepare for battle.

And once the troops of Judah were in their formation, King Asa cried out to God, "Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude.

And the...

And she had twins, and they were Pharez and Zerah, and that's these people that he's talking about.

One of the things that you can notice as you go through this genealogy is that there's four different women mentioned.

Typically, women weren't mentioned in the genealogy.

I'm a climb in the court or a clean Israel I'm in Cava apply meaning these Montana's Kiruna apply by climb somehow we don't apply by climb in by a Cree a Cree is after we'll get into it but these that come from coolant applied by both clime and equine so client is a mixed breed of two animals we're going to see which animals we're talking about in a second and kvi kvi is what's known or koi it depends how you say we don't really know what like us i think but a kvi is an animal that's a mixed breed between a higher and a behemoth now certain aloha is only applied by him certain balochas only apply by highest Matanas Kehuna, by the way, only apply by generally Behemoths.

But this Kvi is a mixed breed, and this says the Gemara Rebbe Lezer, I mean Rebbe Lezer argues on that, Rebbe Lezer says, Klayim, that come, meaning you can have Klayim as just a mixed breed of two animals, so it depends which animals, right? So Klayim, it comes from two Behemoths, a sheep and a goat, so Chayim and Matanas, then you're going to be Chayim and Matanas in the Zerah, to give from these animals to the Kohen, Minatiyash U'mein Ha- kvi, the correct gers is, if you look on the side, minatiyash and minakvi from tiyash, which is a chayah, or minakvi, which is a mixed breed of a behemoth.

A chayah, then it's going to be potter, minamatanos, it's going to be potter from the matanos.

Why? Because again, only behemoths are going to be chayiv in matanos.

He has this time to say, bring me a raya.

But since Hamotim is a member of a raya and he's not able to bring that raya because no one has the answer to that question, So, that's why when we say chayiv, he's only going to be chayiv to pei chatzim aton.

That's the way we're going to say it in Masorah of Zerah.

Zerah has the following.
