The Secret of the Wine Libations

We do not sing a song except over wine: half a hin for the one bull, a third of a hin for the ram, and a quarter of a hin for the one lamb—wine, according to its libation. Moharanat (Likutei Halachos, Blessings on Seeing and Other Specific Blessings 5) explains: Why were the wine libations stated after the passage of the spies? It is to reveal to us that if those spies had sung a song—if they had gone the whole way singing, the way the cows sang as they traveled from the land of the Philistines to Beit Shemesh—then they would not have sinned! Because song would have protected them, so that they would not argue against Moshe. This is like what the prophet Yeshayahu said to King Chizkiyahu: “Sing to Hashem”—say a song! You have seen miracles and wonders that never were and never will be. As Hillel said (Sanhedrin 98b), that “there is no Moshiach for Israel, because they already ‘consumed’ him in the days of Chizkiyahu”—meaning: such open miracles and wonders as there were in the days of Chizkiyahu will never again be in the world. For the angel of Hashem— the angel Gavriel—went out at midnight and struck the camp of Ashur, which numbered two hundred and sixty thousand ten-thousands, which is two billion six hundred million people, minus one—so that you will know the number is exact. And on that very day, the prophet Yeshayahu said to King Chizkiyahu: “Set your house in order, for you will die and you will not live.” And Chizkiyahu answered him: “Son of Amotz, finish your prophecy and leave! For this is the tradition I received from my father’s house: even if a sharp sword is resting on a person’s neck, he must not despair of mercy!” Then he said the prayer: “I have set [myself] until morning like a lion; so He breaks all my bones; from day until night You bring me to an end. Like a swallow or a crane so I chirp; I moan like a dove; my eyes are lifted on high—my Master, I am oppressed; be my guarantor. What can I say? He has spoken to me, and He has done it; I will walk softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul. My Master, by these things they live, and in all of them is the life of my spirit; You will heal me and give me life. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness, and You loved my soul back from the pit of destruction, for You cast all my sins behind Your back. For Sheol cannot thank You; death cannot praise You; those who descend to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. The living, the living—he will thank You, as I do today; a father will make known to children Your truth. Hashem is to save me, and we will play my melodies all the days of our lives in the House of Hashem.” “And Yeshayahu said: Let them take a cake of figs and smear it on the boil, and he will live.” And the moment Chizkiyahu began with melodies and songs and praises, he was immediately healed of his illness—about which Yeshayahu had prophesied that he would not recover. And immediately the angel of Hashem, Gavriel, went out and struck the camp of Ashur; he even blew upon them and they passed away, and he took the souls of them all at once. Then Chizkiyahu married Yeshayahu’s daughter, named “Cheftzi Bah,” and the sun moved backward, and fifteen years were added to his life, and the salvation took place [Yeshayahu 38].
