Secrets of The Third Plague Of Egypt

0:12Then you have the lice. Lice was one of the plagues that caught the chartumim, the necromancers, by surprise, because this went over them. This is the one time that they said, it's by Elohim. The sorcerers said to Pharaoh, it is the finger of God. This is the first time the necromancers said, these plagues are coming from God, they're not coming from Moshe. They're starting to believe. Why did they start believing? Now, the plague of the lice was another horrific one where literally everything turned to lice, even the ground. The sand on the ground turned into lice. It was like a foot and a half of lice. So, there was no way you could escape it. Everything would instantly, as soon as the plague came, everyone had lice on them, except the Jews. Now, why did the chartumim say... that it's by Elohim. Why is the "finger of God" mentioned here? Because the Chartumim said that in order to control demons, their power was by using demons and evil spirits. However, demons have no power over tiny things, like bugs and similar creatures.

1:33usually big things, whether it's an animal, a dog, a human being, things that are bigger. So as soon as they saw that these lice are obviously very small, they said, no, this is not, Moshe is not a wizard or a sorcerer like us. This is coming from his God. One thing that's actually good to know about evil spirits is is that they still affect us today in the exile. People say that the Torah says there are no demons in Israel, but there are demons outside of Israel. Not as much as there used to be, but there are still certain things to be careful of. Okay? I'll give you a few things that I remember. First off, if, after the middle of the night, the Hebrew night, not 12 o'clock, sometimes it's 11:40, sometimes it's 1:30 in the morning, The Hebrew Chatzot, in the middle of the night, make sure that if you walk away from a cup of water or any drink that's not sealed, you can't drink it. Don't drink it. It can have evil spirits. Yeah, mostly, from what I know, it's the water. Water or any drink. Of the Chatzot.

3:00After Chatzois. Yeah, during the day it's fine. After Chatzois, if you walk, in any way you should do this. Not do it, but as far as demons in general, they're not as much in Eretz Yisroel as there is here. It's closed. No, but if it's open, if the bottle you have is open, it's not covered. If you walk away from it, it's not good. Second thing, you can go into it, it can affect you, and you can have a big Yetzer Hara for something, leading you to do something foolish. It's one of the things. Another thing is, there's a lot to cover, so let's try to go through these three other things. Another thing is... Oh, onions. Onion, if you use onions or garlic, if you cut them, whatever you don't eat, you have to throw it out. Don't keep half the onion or the cut garlic and eat it the next day. You have to throw it out. After you use it one night, after you use it that day, you can't keep it for the next day. Now, if you have an onion, you don't have to throw it out. What you can do is put the peel on it. If you keep the peel on the onion, it's okay. It's okay.

4:18Now, you're going to ask me, as anyone who knows how to cook, you know, in the supermarket today, a very common product is peeled garlic. So you're telling me that's not good? It even has kosher certification on it. How could it be? So, the garlic, it's not that if it's just peeled. The garlic, if it doesn't have the head—the head of the garlic, where it's got a little stem, the end piece—as long as it has that end piece, it's not considered completely peeled. So that way, you could eat it. But if it doesn't have, if you actually cut garlic into pieces, and after the initial use, don't eat it if it's been kept overnight. It actually says it's a life risk. Can I put it in a Ziploc? Another thing, another thing is, you know, not only are there bad spirits, but also losing, you know, forgetting, is if you put your shirt on backwards or inside out. That's not good. Or if you have several shirts. Let's say you have your tzitzit and your, you know, a shirt. Don't put them on together. One at a time. How do you have it?

5:38A lot of this stuff is in the Gemara, and some of it is in... Anytime. Don't take it off together. Don't put it on together. Don't take it off together. Don't put it on together. It causes you to forget, especially if you're learning Torah. If you're learning Torah, and you take off two shirts at once or put them on at once, or you put a shirt on upside down, it causes you to forget your Torah. Another thing is also olives. If you eat a lot of olives, it causes you to forget your Torah. If you want to have better memory, then you have to eat olive oil. Drink olive oil. So if you like olives, the best thing to do is put the olives in olive oil. One's making you forget, the other one's making you remember. It's a nice balance. Nothing. It's not, nothing, it's nothing. Not that I know of, at least. Okay, moving on back to the parsha. Yeah, it's all, I didn't make it up. This is just a...

6:53The water, the onion, the garlic, that's all. No, the onion is true. The rest of it is not true? No, that's scientific truth. The rest I don't know. It's getting bacteria very fast. The onion. If you sip or something... Cut an onion, put it here, it will attract all the sickness, and you will be fine. Ken, ken, actually if you want to, yeah, you can put it in socks and so on. Yeah, there are a few ways to use an onion. Okay, moving forward. The next plague is wild beasts. Wild beasts. Oh, as far as the, I keep forgetting the main thing. Measure for measure, the reason why lice came is because the Egyptians did not allow the Jews to bathe. So they had poor hygiene. Therefore, the punishment was for the Egyptians to suffer from poor hygiene by having these lice all over their bodies.
