Show Notes

(ו) לֵךְ אֶל נְמָלָה עָצֵל רְאֵה דְרָכֶיהָ וַחֲכָם.
(ז) אֲשֶׁר אֵין לָהּ קָצִין שֹׁטֵר וּמֹשֵׁל.
(ח) תָּכִין בַּקַּיִץ לַחְמָהּ אָגְרָה בַקָּצִיר מַאֲכָלָהּ.
(ט) עַד מָתַי עָצֵל תִּשְׁכָּב מָתַי תָּקוּם מִשְּׁנָתֶךָ.
(י) מְעַט שֵׁנוֹת מְעַט תְּנוּמוֹת מְעַט חִבֻּק יָדַיִם לִשְׁכָּב.
(יא) וּבָא כִמְהַלֵּךְ רֵאשֶׁךָ וּמַחְסֹרְךָ כְּאִישׁ מָגֵן.

This morning (4/29/21 at YBT) we took a detour to a cluster of pesukim from the Introduction to Mishlei, as per the Meiri's suggestion in his commentary on yesterday's pasuk. This is the first place in Sefer Mishlei that deals with the topic of laziness, and it's where the Meiri addresses the topic. We attempted to analyze the pesukim on our own at first, and then we began the Meiri's commentary. We intend to continue this on Monday.
