Shoftim 5782

This is Torah Talk for the week of August 28th, 2022

Deut. 19:8

   And when [וְאִם] the Lord your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and gives you all the land that He promised to give your fathers ⁹ … then you shall add three more towns to those three.

 

Didn’t Moses already add those three towns? The great Jewish Bible scholars of the ages can’t seem to agree.
