Shelach Lecha - 2024

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Shelach Lecha (שלח לך). We start with HaShem commanding Moshe to send scouts to check out the land. And then we get a list of the scouts, who are the top folks from each tribe. HaShem changes Hoshea’s name to Yehoshua. The change is adding a yud (י) to the start of the name. This changes Yehoshua’s name to start with the same 2 Hebrew letters as HaShem’s name (thank you Rashi).
