DAF DISCUSSIONS - TA'ANIS 20

Aron Katz asked:

How does the malach adding the words olei mayim fix Bilaam's backhanded curse of like arozim? If arozim don't survive in water, then saying the Jews should be like arozim in water is dooming them, G-d forbid?

Aron Katz, Baltimore

The Kollel replies:

Dear Aron,

Arazim don't need watery land and normally grow on dry land. But this does not mean that they cannot survive in water.

All the best,

Reuven Weiner
