Summary

Parshas Shelach: After the sin of the spies, Moshe begged Hashem to make His strength great, as He had previously said, “Hashem, who is slow to anger…” Rashi (Bamidbar 14:17-18) explains that this tefilla was based on a previous dialogue between Moshe and Hashem about whether it’s appropriate to be slow to anger only for tzadikim or even for resha’im. We analyze this dialogue to reveal insights about Hashem’s Middah of Erech Apayim.
