Parashat Mattot – Opening Questions

  • Why did Moshe find Reuven and Gad's request to settle the lands east of the Jordan problematic? Was his reaction justified?
  • Why isn't the tribe of Menashe mentioned throughout the negotiations regarding the eastern bank of the Jordan, if in the end they, too, settle there?
  • From what did the Midianite spoils need to be purified? Are these laws related to contamination by the dead, idolatry or kashrut?
