Kumkhat sung'a Shabbat seh leh isim jiu Torah simmun hoptuhsa - Parashiyot 54 hohi ivet leh khenkhat ahapta a hung lhung ding thil toh kitoh a kisim aum jiye. Tichu khuche Kut lhun ma Shabbat a hiche Parasha pa kisim ji, ahilouleh hiche thilsoh lhunna hapta a hiche Parasha kisim ji ti aum ji'n ahi.

Chuleh hitichun hiche Parasha teni (tua iminphah teni u) bep hilou in Parasha dang dang jong ijat ham aum nalaiye. Hiche holah'a khat chu tuchung Shabbat a isim diu Parashat Pinkhas hi ahi. Veleu chun kumseh leh hiche Parasha kisimna Shabbat hi Bein Hameitzarim sung'a achukha tei tei ji'n ahi. Ipi jeh hintem? 

Mefarshim holeh Darshanim ho'n aseinauva Parashat Shavua a kisim ji Torah simmun sung'a kisun thilho toh chuche hapta a thilsoh ho'n kimatna aneitei jiuve. Hiche athilsei uhi, phatecha igel ji leh, ahapta a lhung Kut le nikho poimo ho bep hilou'a eima nitin hinkho'a thilsoh hotoh jong kimatna ananei dan u mudoh in aum thei ji nalai in ahi. Kidangtah ahiye. Chuti ahileh Parashat Pinkhas kisimna Shabbat pa Bein Hameitzarim sung'a achuh jing jong hi'n eihil nuom u umtei ding ahijeh in ipi ahi tamlou veuhite. 

Ihetsa ma bang uva Bein Hameitzarim iti tieng 17 Tammuz a kipat 9 Av chan a nikho ho kiseina ahiuve. Hiche phat sung hi akhang akhang a Am Yisrael pumpi a ding'a hesoh-genthei, kaana le maona chule lunghemna phat ahitoh kilhon a ahina thei chan'a  kipa-golnop ho'a kuon kikikaangse a, thil tamtah a kuon kijecheng a ahi. Chuleh hiche ho jouse hi thildang jeh hilou'a Jerusalem le Beith Hamikdash akisuhset a, kum 2000 nailang phat ache nung jieng'a jong Beith Hamikdash akitundoh kitlou lai pul kidou ah ahiye. 

Ahileh ipi jeh a Beith Hamikdash chu anakisuse ah ham? Gemara Masechet Yoma 9a mun a Khazal ho'n aseinauva Beith Hamikdash  Harishon chu thil chi 3 – Avodah Zara (milim hou), Gilui Arayot (jawn thanghuoi) le Sh'fikhut damim (thisan suo) ho jeh'a anakisuse a; Beith Hamikdash Hasheni ahileh Shin'at Khinam jeh a kisuse ah ahi. 

Khazal ho'n aseibe nauva hiche a kuon ipi kimudoh em iti leh Shin'at Khinam hi Avodah Zara, Gilui Arayot chule Sh'fikhut Damim ho thum se kigomkhom toh aphatlou/ahoilou dan akibang e ti ahi. Chubep hilou'a Mefarshim ho'n aseinauva Shin'at Khinam – ajehbei a kimudana pahi chonsetna 3 iminphah hou jouse sang'a chonsetna saangjo ahi. Ajehchu Beith Hamikdash harishon pa kisuhset nung kum 70 jou in Beith Hamikdash Hasheni pa tundoh ahikit in, hinlah Beith Hamikdash Hasheni akisuhset kaal kum 2000 anai tah vang in tuchan Beith Hamikdash Hashlishi pa tundoh ahinaipoi. 

Ahileh itih tieng Beith Hamikdash Hashlishi pa kitungdoh kit in tem? Ihetsa ma bang uva Am Israel te sung'a Shin'at Khinam pa abei a, Ahavat Khinam pa'n akoi jouse lung ahin luo tieng Beith Hamikdash athumna pa jong hung kitungdoh kit ding ah ahitai.

Pardes Yosef kiti lekhabu in aseina a Beith Hamikdash Hasheni anakisuhsetna jeh pentah chu Shin'at Khinam ahitoh kilhon a Beith Hamikdash Hashlishi hung kitundohna ding'a Ahavat Khinam pa aum ngai ah ahiye. Chuti ahileh tu phat sung, tichu Bein Hameitzarim sung'a hi thildang dang hilou'a hiche Ahavat Khinam pa Am Israel sung'a apunbe a, akoi jouse lungsung alodimna ding'a panlah poimo dehset ah ahi. Chutoh kilhon a hiche phat sung'a hi Parasha dang dang sang'a  Parashat Pinkhas pa sim ding'a lawm dehset ah ahiye ti ahi. Ajehchu hiche Parasha a hi'n P-thien in Pinkhas chu "Brith Shalom" – kitepna chamna pa apeh thu akisun e. 

Ahileh i-parsha uva Pinkhas thu kisun toh Chamna chuleh Ahavat Khinam in ipi kimatna anei em? 

I Parsha u kipatna ivet leh "Pinkhas ben Elazar ben Aharon Hakohen" ti'n akisun e. Hiche pasuk pa hilchetna apehna ah Rashi'n Gemara Masechet Sanhederin 82b a Khazal ho thusei pansan in hitin asun e: Pinkhas in Zimri atha chun miho'n pachat tah sang in aseise uvin, hiti'n asei uve,"apu Yitro in milim-semthu houna a thisan anaso jing jeh a atupa'n jong hiche thisansuo ding lungsielna pa  lungthim chu anei a Am Israel sung'a phung lamkai khat atha ah ahiye". Hiche mipi ho thusei pa adihlou dan photchetna ding'a Torah hung'a Pinkhas phunggui chu ahungsut a, Aharon Hakohen chan ahung sutllhung ah ahi. (Elazar jinu chu Yitro chanu hi ah ahi.)

Langkhat a Mefarshim ho lungdonna khat chu ipi atileh Rashi'n hiche pasuk pahi Masechet Sanhedrin pansan a ahung hilchet ngai ham ti ahi. Ajehchu Am Israel te sung'a phunggui akisut tieng "lebeith avotam" akiti ma bang'a, mikhat phunggui chu anu lang hilou'a apa lang joh'a kisun ji ah ahi. Chukit leh ipi atileh  Aharon Hakohen tupa ahi akihet man'a chu Pinkhas in Zimri atha chu P-thien min suhthieng na ding'a atha ahi ti kihedoh thei a hintem?

Hinlah Pinkhas  hina pa chu anu lang kuon'a apu - Yitro hina hilou a apa lang'a apu - Aharon Hakohen hina pa anei jeh ahidan aphotchet nuom jeh ahijoi. Parasha masapa, Parashat Balak chu ivet leh (Bamidbar 25:7 ve'n) "Pinkhas ben Elazar ben Aharon haKohen" ti'a Pinkhas phunggui chu Torah in asutsa ah ahitai. Chuti ahileh Torah in avel'a Pinkhas phunggui ahinsut kit hi avetsah um tina ahi'n, hichu imadang hilou'a Pinkhas hina chu apu Aharon toh thakhat ahi ti eihil nuom jeh'u ahiye.

Am Israel sung'a khat-le-khat kikah a kitomona ho le kibouna ho asuhcham ji'a, hita chu a kingailutna pa apunsah a, mipi lah'a chu chamna analeng ah ahiye. Hiche "Ish Shalom" – Chamna ngailu mi ahina jaal tah-tah a Aharon  le asuon-apah hochu Thiempu hina pa kipe uva ahiye.

Ipu u Aharon le achate ho thiempu ding'a thao anakinu a chu ama anapeng man ta'a, hiche thao kinu lah'a chu anajao phalou ah ahitai.

Hinlah chuche masang'a anapeng, Elazar chapa Pinkhas chu Kohen hina anachanglou ah ahitai. 

Hijieng jong leh tuchung Parasha a Zimri le Kozbi atha'a, P-thien lunghanna pa anasuhtaang jaal chun P-thien in kipaman thilpeh ni anape'in – khatchu Brith Shalom hiya, khat kit chu ama le asuon-apah ho ding'a Thiempu hina Brith Kehuna pa chu ahiye. Pinkhas chun athilbol jaal'a atumbeleh a Kohen hina chu P-thien a kuon akisaan ah ahi.

Ijou lang'a isei u chu avel in sei kit leuhen, Aharon chu chamna ngailu mi – Ish Shalom ahina jaal'a Kohen hina chang a, chubep hilou'a hiche Chamna pa jaal'a ama le achate thao kinu ho chule chuche nung'a peng ho'se jong chu Kohen hina chang uva ahitai . Kohen hina ding'a chu Shalom pa poimo tina ahi. 

Langkhat a Pinkhas chun ipi abol em iti leh Am Israel te leh P-thien kikah a Shalom – chamna chu asem ah ahi. Pinkhas chun Zimri le Kozbi chu that tahih leh P-thien lunghanna pa chu daailha talou a, Am Israel pumpi chu suhmang a umlo thei uva anahiye.

Hinlah akhang-akhang a Leitzanei Hador – thuse hol anaum jing toh kilhon in, Pinkhas thilbol pachu aphalang a lah tah sang in apu Yitro thisan anei jeh a thisan aso'a, Israel sung'a phung lamkai khat hinkho alah ahi ti'a totnopna anei uva ahiye. Hiche holoi thusei dihlou daan le akam u hupna ding'a chu tuchung i-parasha uva hi Torah hung'a avel'a Pinkhas phunggui chu ahung sut kit ah ahi. Chubep hilou'a Pinkhas in Zimri athalona jeh pipen chu P-thien le Am Israel te kikah a Shalom umna ding deina'a abol ahidan photchetna ding'a apu Aharon Hakohen chan aphunggui ahin sut kit ah ahijoi. Ajehchu hiche'a kuon a chu Pinkhas hina pa chu apu Aharon bang'a Shalom ngailu mi ahidan kichehtah a mudoh thei a um ah ahitai.
