In the beginning of this week’s parsha, Paroh asks Moshe: ?? ???, ?????? (lit. Who and Who will be the journeymen?)
The Ba’al Haturim has an interesting way of understanding this dialogue. According to the Ba’al Haturim, Paroh is telling Moshe ?? ???, ?????? who is going to leave here to enter into Eretz Yisroel? it is ?? ???, only 2 people! Only Yehoshua and Calev will leave and enter into Eretz Yisroel, everyone else will die in the Midbar.
?? ???, ?????? in Gematria is ??? ??? ???
To this Moshe Rabbeinu replied: ??????? ???????? ??? (With our youth and with our elders we shall go). That the punishment preventing the dor hamidbar from entering into Eretz Yisroel was not placed upon those under the age of 20, nor was it placed upon those over the age of 60.
