This week’s Parsha describes the Choshen. The word: שַׁרְ שְרֹת (similar to Shoresh) means chains. מַׁעֲשֵׂה עֲבֹת means braids. And: גַׁבְלֻת means they were attached at the border of the Choshen. We can suggest that these 12 Shevotim (which the Choshen carried) were all pure and holy, and from Tzniyus'dike women. Only Tz'niyus people know their roots (Shoresh). They say about a certain section in Brooklyn (where a low-life element lives) that “Father’s Day” is the most confusing day of the year. Nobody knows who is his true father, Rachmana Litzlan.
And during Makkas B'choros, the Yidden saw the contrast between their own happy families, who ate the Korban Pesach in their holy homes, and the outside fake Mitzri world, where: כֻלָּנוּ מֵׂתִים יב לג they were ALL dying, since every Mitzri family could have 10 Bechorim (firstborn), since all 10 boys had a different father, Rachmana Litzlan. The Torah keeps saying: שַׁרְ שְרֹת הָּעֲבֹתֹת braid-work chains. Braids are a symbol of Tz'niyus.
The Foundation of Tz'niyus Is Having Borders and Rules
Braided hair isn’t a free-for-all Matzav. They are woven into each other, and are somewhat hidden. Tz'niyus’dik women cause a true chain or lineage, where a person can trace his roots and know who he really is. The stress on: גַׁבְלֻת (attached at the border) can perhaps be a Remez that people with borders and rules and a M'sudar’dik situation are the cause of Tz'niyus. גַׁן נָּעוּל אֲחֹתִי כַׁלָּה שיר ד יב My beloved (Klal Yisroel) is a closed and dignified garden, i.e., Tz'niyus.
This is the secret of the: י"ב שִ בְ טֵׂ י קָּ ה twelve holy Shevotim who were all Tzaddikim; they were held up by (Rochel and Leah) braid-work chains: שַׁרְ שְרֹת הָּעֲבֹתֹת who stuck to their borders and didn’t trespass.
