Parshas Shelach
It says in the posuk, ’Selach na leavone haam hazeh kigodel chasdecha vikaasher nasasa laam hazeh me-mitzrayim viad heina’, please forgive this nation with the magnanimity of your kindness just as you carried this nation from Egypt until now. Logically, it would seem to be an argument against forgiveness, if Hashem carried them with all their sins since leaving mitzrayim, perhaps it is all adding up to a point where the limit of Hashem’s tolerance has been reached?
In posuk 15 & 16, Moshe said, the nations will say that Hashem is not strong enough to bring Bnei Yisrael into Eretz Yisrael. Why would they specifically say that? Maybe Bnei Yisrael are not going in because they did something wrong?
The truth is Bnei Yisrael did not have a merit to go out of Egypt. The malachim said, ’both Bnei Yisrael and Egypt are doing idol worship’. The truth is Hashem redeemed them without their having been worthy of redemption. When that is true the fact that they do another thing wrong does not really add that you should not be carried, after all idol worship is the worst. If Hashem did not take bnei yisrael the major understanding would be that his strength is not strong because to say that he doesn't want them anymore because of an aveira is not plausible,anyway they didn't have a merit. Only Bnei Yisrael understand that we are on a totaly differamt plain. Therefor Moshe asked that we should be carried like when we went out of Egypt even wuthout merit.
