Reply To: Parsheh of the Week Interpretation

ויקרא is written with a small aleph. Mosheh Rabbenu did not want to show that he is different of Bilom because of his humility. The questions is Bilom came about in order that the goyim should not have an excuse that they are less than Jews but they are still less because by them it is written ויקר whereas by the Jews ויקרא ? The answer might be that Bilom could have been like Mosheh Rabbenu but because of his haughtiness this did not materialize. So Mosheh Rabbenu did not want to show because his humility that he is greater than Bilom, so he wrote the small aleph. He became rich because of this as the Midrash says that he became rich from the ink left on his pen, meaning showing his humility from the difference writing a big aleph and a small aleph.
