1) Ch. 1, v. 1: "Eileh" – These – There are six parshios in the Torah that begin with the letter Alef. They are, “Eileh toldos Noach, Eileh pikudei, Im b'chukosai, Eileh massei," and "Attem nitzovim." What message or allusion can we derive from this group of six?
2) Ch. 1, v. 1: "El KOL Yisroel" – To ALL of Yisroel –Why here does it say that he spoke to ALL, and in verse three it says that he spoke to "bnei Yisroel," not saying KOL, and even later, when it says that "Ho'il Moshe bei'eir" (verse 5), it doesn’t even say to whom he clarified?
3) Ch. 1, v. 11: "Vivo'reich es'chem kaasher di'beir lochem" – And He will bless you as He has spoken about you – Since our verse is discussing a blessing why is it expressed as "di'beir," an expression of harshness, rather than "omar," a soft expression (see Medrash Tanchuma 936:13) of having said that He would bless you?
4) Ch. 1, v. 16: "Shomo'a bein acheichem ushfat'tem tzedek" – It is heard among your brothers and you shall judge properly – Rather than translating "ushfat'tem" as "and you SHALL judge," an imperative, which is the common translation we might explain these words to mean "and you WILL judge." How would this fit into the context of this verse?
5) Ch. 1, v. 37: "Gam bee hisanaf Hashem biglalchem leimore gam atoh lo sovo shom" – Also in me has Hashem angered by virtue of you saying also you will not come there – Moshe is telling the bnei Yisroel that Hashem became angry with him because of their sin by the incident of the spies. This is very puzzling, as we do not find this being the case. The gemara M'nochos 41a says that Hashem does not punish for the lack of fulfillment of a positive precept (with the exception of not partaking of the Korban Pesach and not having oneself circumcised). However, if one did not fulfill a positive mitzvoh at a time that Hashem is angered with the masses, then even the flaw of not doing a positive mitzvoh can be punished. Technically, Hashem's command to Moshe by the drawing forth water from/by the rock was a positive command, "Speak to the stone." Moshe did not comply, and hit it instead. He only was guilty of not doing a positive command, as hitting or not hitting it wasn't mentioned by Hashem. If so, why should he receive a punishment?
