                                                               ~ Bamidbar 15:30
Parashat Balak a hin Mitzvot khatcha aumpoi. Chuleh Parasha hi ivet Parashiyot dang ho banglou tah in akipat a pat achaigei tithei phiel Balak le Bil'am teni umchan bou akisun e. Amahi hi, ihetsau ma bang'a Israel jong hilhon lou chuna ban a Am Israel te manthahna ding'a kisalel Rashaiyim Gemurim hikit lhon ah ahi. 

Chuti ahileh ipi ding'a Torah in Parasha khat chu hiche miphalou teni thilbol sutna ding'a akoidoh jieng ah hintem? Chubep hilou'a hiche ithudoh pau hi phatecha igelleh i-Kushiya pau suhdet cheh nathei thil tamtah seithei um ah ahi. 

Tekahna Torah iti tieng Mitzvot ho kisutna lekhabu thieng kiseina ahibou e. Chutoh kilhon a Khazal ho'n Torah hi Bereshit hilou'a Sefer Shemot a Mitzvat Rosh Khodesh pa'a khu kipan ding dol ah ahi atiuve. Hinlah isei jing sa ma bang uva ipi atileh Torah hi Sefer Bereshit a kipan a ham itileh Khazal ho'n Derekh Eretz Kadmah la'Torah atima bang uva ipu-ipa teu thusim ho'a kuon umchan pha ijildoh uva, i-midot pau ikisem phat thei na ding'u ti ahi. 

Langkhat a chuti'a umchan pha jildoh na thei ding itiuva ahijong leh ipu-ipa teu tichu Avraham Avinu, Yitzkhak Avinu le Yakov Avinu le 12 Sh'vatim ho thusim hoitah tah, tamtah jong Torah in asutlou Midrashim ho a kimu khula em; Khuti'a midot semtohna ding'a hiche thusim hohi poimo mama jieng ahileh hiche Rashayim ho thusim sang in Tzaddikim ho thusim joh sun leh phajo ah hilou ham??

Hiche ithudoh utoh kisai a hi Khazal ho thusei pansan a hilchetna ni tah pehthei aum e. Amasapen a P-thien in Am Israel te angailut dan pa tuchung Parasha a kuon jildoh thei ah ahi. Khazal ho'n Masechet Berachot a asei dan uva Parashat Balak hi Kiryat Sh'ma sung'a Parasha ho lah'a khu jao ding dol ah ahiye. Hinlah asao vaal jeh'a Toreakh Tzibbur um ding deilouna jaal a Khazal ho'n anapansah lou uva ahitai. 

Ahileh hiche Parashat Balak ahi ipi lom lom kisun a Khazal ho'n Kiryat Sh'ma jieng a jong jaosah ding anagot uva hintem? Achuom jep in kisei leh, ipi lom lom um a hiche Parasha hi niseh leh nivei beh sei ding'a Khazal ho'n anagot kigot uva hintem?

Hetding chu Balak gaal hung bol kigot dan hi nam dang, leng dang ho gaal hung bol daan toh kibang lou hiel ah ahi. Sikhon lengpa le Og lengpa jieng jong Israel te'n bailam cha khen'a ajou amu phat'a Balak hin Am Israel te thaneina pa chu akhuol a ahileh akam u – tichu Taona le Talmud Torah ahi amudoh a, chuphat a chu hiche tochun kitoh ding'a akam a thanei dang khat ma, tichu Bilam chu agapui ah ahi.

Ahileh hiche Balak thilbol chu leng dang ho thilbol toh akikhetna ipi um a hiche a kuon a chu P-thien in Am Israel te angailut dan namudoh thei ah hintem? Mefarshim ho'n aseinau va leng dang ho'n Am Israel te chung'a gaal ahung bol pau chu atahsa tah uva gaal ahung bol uva ahitoh kilhon a hitobang thil a kuon a chu kinginna le kigontohna phat nanei thei ah ahiye. Tichu gaal a ding'a manchah ho guon bep hilou'a gaaljona ding'a poimo pen, chung lang'a iseima bang uva Am Israel te ding'a athaneina pau taona le Talmud Torah hochu hiche ahun-aphat toh kitoh a suh hat be thei ah ahi.
Hinlah Balak le Bil'am thilgon chu ivet leh Am Israel te ding'a ahetna ji ima umlou ah ahitai. Thiemgao ho lah'a alenpen Moshe Rabbeinu toh kitekah Bil'am in Am Israel te agaosap kigot a chu  P-thien in Am Israel te angailut lou ah anahitaleh Bil'am chu lolhing a, Am Israel pumpi chu gaosap chang diuva ahitai. Hijieng jong leh, Khazal ho'n Masechet Sanhedrin a aseima bang uva P-thien in hiche phat sungse'a Bil'am thilgon lolhin lou na ding chun alunghanna phat jieng jong anatuh taang in ahi. Chuna chungchon a mi gaosap ding'a hung pa chu alei ah phattheina joh akhumpeh in, ama nop-le-da umlou in phatthei abohsah in ahiye.

Tu'a isei uchu khat hitaleh Torah in hiche miphalou teni thilguon le thilbol Parasha khat a saotah ahin sutlona jeh kit khat chu hiti ahiye. Miphalou ho'a kuon jieng a jong umchanpha jildoh thei, ahilou leh a klali in kisei leh, thil aphamo pen jieng jong eima'n thilpha a kiheidoh thei tipa ahiye. 

Parashat Bereshit a kisun "vehineh tov meod" toh kisai a Khazal ho'n hilai mun a "Tov meod" hi Yetzer Hara kiseina ahi atiuve. Chukit leh Mekubalim ho'n akhang akhang a asei jing khat uchu thil jouse ahin Netzutzot Kedusha aumsoh kei ti ahi. Chuti'a  Yetzer Hara jieng jong chu Tov bep hilou'a Tov meod ahithei'a chuna ban'a thil aboh pen sung'a chu hiche Netzutzot Kedusha – P-thien vah kiselgu aum thei leh Tzaddikim ho thilbol/umchan a kuon bep hilou'a miphalou ho'a kuon jieng jong jildoh thei thil akiselgu um tina ahiye.

Tuchung Parasha a kisun Balak le Bil'am a kuon jieng jong jildoh thei tamtah aum in ahi (kineosah poimo dan, Torah sim aloupi dan le adang dang). Hiche ho lah'a khat chu hetna/chihna pa bep hilou'a ihetna pa manchah a, tahso ding pa poimo dan ahiye. 

Tanna Devei Eliyahu in aseina a Bil'am chu Moshe Rabbeinu sang'a ahetna/achihna sangjo ah ti ahi. Hinlah hitobang ahetna/achihna Moshe Rabbeinu sang'a asanjoh jieng vang chun amanna ding'a amanlou jeh in achaina in manthahna joh in anei in ahi. 

Ahileh iti dan a Bil'am chu Moshe Rabbeinu sang'a ahetna le achihna sangjo a kisei thei ah hintem? Mefarshim ho'n aseinauva Moshe Rabbeinu chun thienthouna lang'a Sha'ar 49 na chan aphah a, langkhat a Bil'am chun bohna lang'a Sha'ar 50 na – bohna lah'a asangpen chan chu gei ah ahiye. Hiche a darga pa lhon chu kiseina ahiye atiuve. Chuti hileh Bil'am chu thienthouna lang'a ankipe leh Moshe Rabbeinu sang'a sangjo ding tina ahi.
