According to Midrash Rabbah 19:6, Hashem revealed the secrets of the Parah Adumah (red heifer) to Moshe, but for everyone else, it remains a 'Chok,' a decree beyond logical comprehension. The reasons for mitzvot transcend natural understanding. Sinless children could explore the Torah from 49 perspectives, revealing its hidden secrets. Moshe, deeply connected to the written Torah, was granted these secrets, while for others, it remains an enigma.The commandment to "bring forth to you" (Bamidbar 19:2) signifies bringing our understanding to the tzadik, who transcends nature. By submitting to the tzadik, Bnei Yisrael can grasp the deeper reasons behind the mitzvot. Through submission to the tzadik, we can collectively understand the mitzvot's underlying reasons, transcending natural limitations and accessing higher spiritual insights.

The passage in Tehillim (136:19-20) states, "To Sichon, king of the Emori, forever is your kindness, and to Og, king of Bashan, forever is your kindness." The Chidushei Harim explains that these praises are recited for generations because Sichon and Og represent the primary forces opposing Bnei Yisrael's service to Hashem. Sichon symbolizes thoughts (machshava) and is countered by the Tefillin of the head, while Og represents power (Edrei being linked to "arm") and is countered by the Tefillin of the arm.The passage continues, "He gave their land as an inheritance, forever is His kindness, an inheritance to Yisrael, His nation, forever is His kindness." The division into two praises highlights the significance of Bnei Yisrael infusing holiness into these lands. These lands, controlled by negative forces, were challenging to conquer. Bnei Yisrael's travels infused holiness into these places, making them deserving of the inheritance.This concept is also expressed in Tehillim 111:6, "The power of His creation He revealed to His children, to give them an inheritance of the nations of the world." Hashem created the world and its opposing forces so that Bnei Yisrael, through their efforts to purify and reveal holiness, would ultimately merit their eternal reward.
