We were all taught from a young age that the Torah doesn’t ‘waste’ any words. Nevertheless, the repetition of the ‘korbanot’ of the Nesiim [the Princes (of each tribe)] in Parshat Naso certainly leaves the reader with the impression that [at times] the Torah can be very ‘wordy’.
In the following shiur, as we study chapter 7, we will attempt to explain the thematic significance of that repetition – to show how the Torah’s ‘wordiness’ is not ‘wasteful’ at all.
