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 (5/4/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of the cluster of pesukim in Mishlei 6 about laziness. After reviewing what we covered last time and developing it further, we began working on the derech ha'nistar approach of the Meiri. We didn't get very far today because the statements of Chazal he quoted turned out to be quite rich and broad in their implications. We plan on continuing tomorrow.

For an overview of the Meiri's approach to Mishlei in general, check out my article: Mishlei Methodology: Meiri - Nigleh and Nistar.
