Key Words
"טוב"
- At the end of Bemidbar 10, the root word “טוב” appears five times in a span of just four verses (29-32). This indicates the sense of optimism and moral goodness that characterizes the Israelites’ behavior at this juncture in their journey to Israel, which will rapidly deteriorate beginning in the next chapter.
- See Bemidbar: The Story of Two Generations, by Dr. Yael Ziegler, mentioned above, for discussion of the keyword and the theme of harmony that it represents, but also how it highlights the stark contrast to the coming chapters in which that serenity is destroyed.
