Parsha Halacha – Parshat Bechukotai – Shabbat Chazak and Mevorchim Chodesh Sivan Explaining the Suffering of Job Elihu ben Barachel and his Speeches Sponsored by Jessica and Brent Levison and family in loving memory of Brent’s mother Eileen Levison, Chana Necha Bas Yaacov, whose tenth Yahrtzeit is on 29 Iyar. The difficulty in identifying him is compounded by the fact that it isn’t clear as to when the story of Job took place.6 I have found five opinions in the Talmud and commentaries as to his identity: 1) Yitzchak Avinu One opinion in the Jerusalem Talmud7 is that Elihu was our patriarch Yitzchak, the son of Avraham, since, as mentioned above, he was from the family of Ram, i.e., Avraham. 4) Family of Ram, Father of Nachshon The Ibn Ezra writes12 that Elihu was from the family of Ram, the father of Aminadav, father of Nachshon ben Aminadav.13 This possibly follows the opinion (see footnote 5) that the story of Job took place when the Jewish people were in Egypt or in the desert. For example, the sale of Joseph, which 22 years later, saved his family from famine.20 Or Joseph being thrown into the dungeon for 12 years which led to his becoming the prime minister.21 This is why one who wishes to understand must “lift their knowledge to a distance” and see the bigger picture. “From the family of Ram” refers to the fact that he was from the country of Aram.10 This fits in with the opinions that the story of Job took place while the Jewish people were in Egypt or soon afterwards, while they were in the desert (see footnote 5). (To understand these points fully, please see the book of Job, chapters 32 – 37 as elucidated by Rabbi Shimon Schwab in his book, Rav Schwab on Iyov.) ● G-d Only Explains Himself Once or Twice Elihu said ‫ֵל ּובִ שְ תַּ יִם ל ֹא יְשּורֶ נָה‬-‫“ – ׃כִ י בְ אַּ חַּ ת יְדַּ בֶ ר א‬Surely G-d speaks once, but a second time, man may not see it.”15 And ‫ל פַּ עֲמַּ יִם שָ לֹוש עִ ם גָבֶ ר‬- ֵ‫“ – הֶ ן כׇּל אֵ לֶה יִפְ עַּ ל א‬Lo, G-d does all these things twice or three times with a man.” This means that G-d in His kindness, shows His providence and caring to man from time to time, perhaps once, twice or even three times. ● G-d Does
