Why does the Torah add the word "Hein Karvy Yamecha Lamus"?
Da'as Zekenim #1, Hadar Zekenim and Ba'al ha'Turim: When Moshe complained that "Hein" was the very same word that he used to praise Hashem, 1 Hashem reminded him that it was also the very same word he used to sin against Him, when .he said 2 "Hein Lo Ya'aminu li!"
Da'as Zekenim #2 and Rosh #2: "Hein" is a good Midah - as the Pasuk writes in Mishlei 11:31"Hein Tzadik ba'Aretz Yeshulam".
Da'as Zekenim #3 and Rosh #3: Hashem told Moshe that in the world to come, he will head fifty-five myriad (times ten thousands) of Tzadikim, like the Gematriya of "Hein".
Da'as Zekenim #4 and Rosh #4: Just like the letters of 'Hein' have no mate - 'Alef' joins with 'Tes' to make ten) and 'Beis' with 'Ches', but 'Hey' has no mate. 'Yud' joins with 'Tzadei' to make ahundred, and 'Chaf' with 'Pey', but 'Nun' has no mate); so too, does Moshe have no mate (he is unique). 3 . Therefore, Moshe's time to die came, because Hashem chose him as His mate (Kevayachol).
See Devarim 10:14.
In Sh'mos, 4:1.
AS the Torah writes in Vezos Haberachah 34:10 "ve'Lo Kam be'Yisrael ke'Moshe".
What are the implications of "Hein Karvu Yamecha Lamus"?
Targum Yonasan: The Torah uses this expression about three people who did not reach the age of their fathers, and each appointed a leader as his successor - Ya'akov Avinu, David ha'Melech 1 and Moshe ha'Navi. Moshe appointed Yehoshua.
Mo'ed Katan, 28a: Five days illness before one dies is the lot of most people - "Hein" 2 = one; "Karvu" = two; "Yamecha" = two. 3
Ya'akov appointed Yosef, and David appointed Shlomoh (See Na'ar Yonasan. What did Ya'akov do to appoint Yosef; Hashem made him king? - PF). Targum Yonasan is referring to appointing him as his successor - as head of the family - after his death.
'Hein' is Greek for 'one'.
See Torah Temimah, note 17.
Since when did Yehoshua accompany Moshe to the Ohel Mo'ed?
Sotah, 13b: It was the Shabbos 1 where both Moshe and Yehoshua were leaders - the mantle of leadership was taken from Moshe and placed on Yehoshua.
Moshe died on a Shabbos, as is well-known. See Torah Temimah,note 18.
What did Hashem command Yehoshua?
Rashi: He did not actually command him; 1 He imbued him with zealousness.
See Sifsei Chachamim.
Why did Moshe first speak to Yisrael? Why did he not call Yehoshua immediately?
