Parsha Halacha - Parshat Shemot – Shabbat Mevorchim Shevat Datan and Aviram Why Moshe’s Nemeses Survived the Plague of Darkness Sponsored by Ahron and Shifra Gellman in memory of Yaakov ben Dov Ber, Elisheva Batya bas Meyer Zalman, Yoel Dovid ben Aryeh Lev and Rifka bas Zev. This is based on the fact that the verse here calls them ‫( אֲ נָשִׁ ים‬men) which is how Datan and Aviram are called in the story of Korach.3 In addition, the word ‫( נִׁ ִׁצִּ֑ ים‬fighting) used here is similar to the word ‫( נִׁ צָ בִׁ ים‬standing) which is used regarding Datan and Aviram in the Korach story.4 This article will discuss the lives of these villains who caused much strife to the Jewish people yet were the only wicked people that we know of who survived the plague of darkness. Morton Borg in loving memory of Stephen's father, Shmuel Tzvi ben Pinchas, and Bella's and Morton's parents, Avraham ben Yitzchak and Leah bas HaRav Sholom Zev HaCohen To sponsor or subscribe, please email rabbicitron@hotmail.com In the Torah portion of Shemot we find the story of how Moshe tried to break up a fight between two Jews who then informed Pharaoh that Moshe had killed an Egyptian the day before, as the verse says,1 “He found two Hebrews fighting, so he said to the wicked one, ‘Why do you strike your fellow?’” Our sages say2 the troublemakers were Datan and Aviram, the sons of Eliav, who later participated in the rebellion of Korach and were swallowed up by the earth. 1 Exodus 2:13 2 Nedarim 64b 3 Numbers 16:26 see Siftei Chachamim 4 Numbers 16:27 1 Lineage Datan and Aviram’s father Eliav was the grandson of Reuven, son of Yaakov Avinu.5 They joined Korach’s rebellion because they were hoping to establish Reuven as the most important tribe since he was the firstborn.6 Datan Married his Step-Sister Our sages say that the reason the Egyptian who was killed by Moshe was beating the Jew is because he had tricked that man’s wife into cohabiting with him. When the Jewish husband found out about this and confronted him, he began to beat him mercilessly.7 The Jewish man was none other than Datan, and his wife was Shlomit bat Divri whose son that was born from that Egyptian was the man who blasphemed in the desert.8 Shlomit was the maternal sister of Aviram
