Negev – lecture 14

The land of the Negev you have given me, Achsa said to her father. We see 2 interesting interpretations: one – she means her husband – Othniel! called “Negev” – because he has only Torah! And does not worry about earning a living.
And the second: she means herself! She has become like the Negev, because of her husband who has only Torah!
Two interpretations that require understanding.
And also – a new direction: the entire story is parallel to the story of Rebecca’s meeting with Isaac. Rebecca who also falls off the camel and meets Isaac – a man of the Negev.
