The first Rebbe of Izhbitz, known as Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner, founded the Chassidic group of Izhbitza-Radzhin, and authored the famous work named “Mei Shiloach.” In this magnum opus he writes in Parshas Vayeira of his commentary that “everything is in the hands of heaven even fear of heaven…. As even fear of heaven is in His hands, and even all the sins of the Jewish people are with Divine providence, as through them G-d’s name becomes great and sanctified. Understand, as this matter is very very deep.” Likewise, in Parshas Pinchas he writes, “Do not believe heaven forbid that Zimri was an adulterer G-d forbid….Rather, when he saw that he could not control himself he understood that it was the will of G-d that he be with her as she is his destined mate. Pinchas did not understand this great secret that she was really his destined mate from the six days of creation, and therefore is referred to in the verse as a mere child.”

These perplexing words have been a source of discussion amongst many in their proper understanding. Obviously, it is not to be understood literally God forbid that a person can send when he feels that he has a lust to do so.
