Moshe Rabbeinu VS Pharaoh
Moshe Rabbeinu VS Pharaoh
The war between Moshe Rabbeinu and Pharaoh was not fought with swords, but through the Power of the Mouth. Moshe represented the "Good Mouth" (*"Peh-Tov"* Gematria 102 also *"faith"* = 102), while Pharaoh – whose name spells Peh-Ra – represented the "Evil Mouth." This battle exists within every person: the choice of how to use the gift of speech.
True power in speech does not come from loudness or command, but from Kedushat HaYesod (the sanctity of the Covenant and personal purity). There is a profound connection between the "Lower Mouth" (the Bris) and the "Upper Mouth" (speech).
Holiness vs. Arrogance
Note that the entire war between Moshe Rabbeinu and Pharaoh – the great struggle to free the Jewish People from the yoke of the mightiest empire in history – was fought solely through the Power of Holy Speech.
On one side stood the holy speech of Moshe, our teacher, and on the other stood the defiant words of Pharaoh, who said in his arrogance:
"Who is Hashem, that I should hearken unto His voice… I know not Hashem." Pharaoh viewed himself as a god, demanding that his will be done and refusing to recognize any higher authority. This is the root of all Pride and Anger – the belief that "I am" the center of the world. Moshe Rabbeinu, the humblest of all men, countered this with speech that was entirely nullified to the Will of the Creator.
This teaches us that our greatest battles are won not through shouting or force, but through the sanctity of our mouths. When we sanctify our Bris Kodesh and our thoughts, our speech carries the weight of the Divine Will, shattering the "Pharaoh" of ego and pride within us.
In the Hebrew letter Pe (פ), the inner white space forms the letter Bet (ב). The Pe is the outer mouth, but the Bet – representing the Bris Kodesh – is the inner foundation.
When a person sanctifies himself in Tzniut (modesty) and guards the purity of his thoughts and the Covenant, he earns a "Holy Mouth." His speech becomes an instrument for Torah, Tefillah (prayer), and Emunah.
Pride vs. Submission to the Creator
When speech is disconnected from holiness, it falls into the trap of the Ego and Pride. This is the "Pharaoh" within us, which constantly demands: "Why aren't they listening to me?" or "Why isn't my will being done?" * The Root of Anger: Speech fueled by a desire for honor and self-importance inevitably leads to anger, curses, and grievances. It is a "Dead" speech that seeks only to control others.
A person who is Metkadesh (sanctifying himself) shifts his focus toward the Tachlit (the ultimate purpose) – the Life of the World to Come. His mouth becomes a vessel for the Will of the Creator, not his own.
The Spiritual Transformation
The more a person strengthens his Avoisat HaShem (service of G-d) through spiritual thoughts and holy talk, the more he merits "Divine Speech."
Instead of seeking his own glory, he seeks to fulfill the Ratzon HaBorei (the Will of the Creator).
Instead of words of conflict, his mouth produces words of Chayus (spiritual vitality) that bring light and holiness into the world.
The work of a Jew is to ensure that the "Inner Mouth" of purity is so refined that the "Outer Mouth" naturally speaks only truth, humility, and prayer – connection to the Creator through the Book of Instructions of the Maker given to Moses – is the Holy Torah without change, only in innocence and purity.
Blessed is he who keeps, for he will attain a good and peaceful life in this world and eternal life in the world to come.
As you reflect on these truths, ask yourself:
How are you going to change your speech?
And how are you going to introduce modesty into your home?
