Moshe Rabbeinu

Moshe ben Amram ve-Yocheved   Yahrzeit - 7 Adar Burial place - Mount Nebo   In Shaar HaGilgulim (Hakdama 36), Rabbi Yitzchak Luria (the Arizal) writes that Moshe was a reincarnation of Adam's third son, Shet, and that Shet was a reincarnation of Hevel - (the "mem" in the name Moshe stands for "Moshe," the "shin" for Shet, and the "hei" for Hevel). Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and Rabbi Yitzchak Luria carried sparks of the soul of Moshe Rabbeinu. "A man of the house of Levi went and took a daughter of Levi." (Shemot 2:1) Rabbi Chaim Vital raises a question here. When Amram took Yocheved as his wife, she is called a "daughter," implying that she was still very young. Yet in the very next verse she is immediately called a "woman," as it says, "and the woman conceived." How could Yocheved have gone in an instant from a young daughter to a grown woman? Rabbi Chaim answers, quoting the Gemara (Sotah 12a), which states that Yocheved was actually 130 years old when she once again appeared as a very young girl (daughter). The secret to this is that Yocheved was a reincarnation of Chava, Adam's wife. Just as Adam separated from Chava for 130 years until Shet was born, so too Yocheved, the reincarnation of Chava, did not give birth to Moshe Rabbeinu, the reincarnation of Shet, until she was 130 years old. That is why she is called a "daughter" - because it was precisely at that moment that the soul of Chava became embodied within her. Immediately afterward she is called a "woman," to hint at the presence of Chava within her soul. Yocheved - the daughter of Levi and mother of Moshe Rabbeinu - was born at the very moment Yaakov's family crossed the border into Egypt. The Jewish people spent 210 years in Egypt. When Moshe led the Exodus, he was 80 years old, which means Yocheved gave birth to him at age 130. Moshe was born after seven months of pregnancy. The Egyptians (following the instructions of their priests) were watching for newborns in the normal way, in order to kill Jewish infants, and so they missed this birth. Yocheved raised Moshe for 88 days plus 3 lunar months (two of 29 days and one of 30). Moshe, who was born on the 7th of Adar, was placed into the waters of the Nile on the 6th of Sivan - the very same day on which, 80 years later, he would receive the Torah at Sinai for his people. "She named him Moshe, for she said, because I drew him out (meshitihu) of the water." (Shemot 2:11) Moshe was born on the seventh of Adar. (Megillah 13b) On the seventh of Adar Moshe died. (Megillah 13b) Moshe said: "Today I am 120 years old (Deuteronomy 31:2) - today my years are complete to the very day." (Sifri Devarim 2) Moshe resembled an angel of G-d. (Pirkei d'Rabbi Eliezer 48) Moshe's face was like the sun, signifying his outstanding wisdom in Torah. (Maharsha) (Bava Batra 75a) He was beautiful, and everyone wanted to look at him. (Shemot Rabbah 1:26) Moshe and Aharon resembled each other. Whoever saw our teacher Moshe thought he was Aharon, and whoever saw Aharon thought he was the father of all the prophets (i.e., Moshe). Their sons resembled each other as well. (Ginzei Schechter 1:94) Moshe's height was ten cubits. (Berachot 54b) Moshe was mighty. (Nedarim 38a) During all seven days of the dedication of the Mishkan, Moshe assembled and disassembled it twice a day without any help from the Israelites. (Bamidbar Rabbah 12:9) He was as strong as a lion. (Likkutim 5; Yelamdenu Beracha 7) Moshe went up from the plains of Moav to Mount Nebo. (Deuteronomy 34:1) There were twelve steps, and he ascended them in a single step. (Yalkut Shimoni, Mishpatim 360) Moshe's voice carried a distance of a forty-day journey. (Mechilta Bo 14) "Diligent in his work" (Proverbs 22:29) refers to Moshe. He shepherded sheep in the wilderness, worked diligently, and made peace between the shepherds and the daughters of Yitro. (Pesikta Rabbati 6:8) Had Moshe been more patient, he would have been spared, but the people of Israel provoked him and angered him, and he was not patient enough. (Kohelet Rabbah 7:7) Moshe was equal to Israel, and Israel was equal to Moshe. (Mechilta Yitro 1:1) Moshe was equivalent to 600,000 Israelites. (Tikkunei Zohar 19:40) Moshe acted in place of all seventy-one members of the Sanhedrin. (Sanhedrin 16b) There is no generation without one like Moshe. (Bereishit Rabbah 56:7) Moshe was the precise image of Adam. (Zohar 1:28a) On two occasions Moshe spoke as Avraham did, but it did not help him (that is, he did not merit what Avraham merited) - in asking for kingship and priesthood, and in asking to enter the Land of Israel. (Devarim Rabbah 2:7) The seven shepherds (Micah 5:4): David in the middle, Adam, Shet and Metushelach to his right, and Avraham, Yaakov and Moshe to his left. (Sukkah 52b) For Israel there arose two good leaders: Moshe and David. (Sifri Devarim 26, beginning of Va'etchanan) For Israel there arose three good leaders. These were Moshe, Aharon and Miriam. (Taanit 9a) Moshe and Aharon were equal to each other in righteousness. (Etz Yosef) (Bereishit Rabbah 1:15) Moshe and Eliyahu resembled each other in every way. (Pesikta Rabbati 4:11) Moshe was the teacher, David was the student. (Shocher Tov 14:6) The Holy One, Blessed be He, said to Moshe: "I have made you king over Israel." (Vayikra Rabbah 31:4) He sat like a king on his throne, and everyone stood before him. (Mechilta Yitro 1:1) The back of Shlomo's throne was carved at the top like Moshe's chair. (Pesikta d'Rav Kahana 1:131) Moshe requested kingship, but it was not given to him as something that could be passed on to his children. (Torah Temimah, Shemot 3:5) (Zevachim 102a) Moshe said, "Let justice pierce the mountain," without asking for mercy. (Sanhedrin 6b) Fear of G-d was a small matter for Moshe; he attained it with ease. (Berachot 33b) Moshe called himself a servant of G-d, and the Holy One, Blessed be He, called him so as well. (Sifri Devarim 27) Moshe was a peace-loving man. (ibid., 199) Moshe became wealthy from the leftover precious stone from which he carved the Tablets. (Nedarim 38a) Our teacher Moshe was a Kohen Gadol and received a share of the offerings. (Zevachim 101b) Moshe served as a priest only during the seven days of the dedication of the Mishkan. Some say that Moshe's priesthood ceased only with his descendants, while Moshe himself remained a priest. (ibid., 102a) Moshe and Aharon fulfilled the entire Torah, yet they died as a result of their sins. (Shabbat 55b) In one year three righteous ones died: Moshe, Aharon and Miriam. (Sifri Nitzavim 304) Everything Moshe asked to see before his death, the Holy One, Blessed be He, showed him. (Mechilta Beshalach 5:2) "Enough for you" (Deuteronomy 3:26). "Moshe," said the Holy One, Blessed be He, "much awaits you in the World to Come."
