Medrash Tanchuma, BeHar: The 70 years Am Yisrael was exiled to Bavel corresponded to the 70 Shmita Years they failed to observe while they were in Eretz Yisrael.אָז תִּרְצֶה הָאָרֶץ אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתֶיהָ – “Then, the Land will be appeased regarding its sabbaticals…” (Vayikra 26:34, Bechukosai).

Moshe Rabbeinu saw conflict among Am Yisrael, he understood why we were in exile. The main reason we are in exile now is because of makhlokes.
41:00 – Conflict within Am Yisrael is causing the longest exile (Yuma 10). HaShem’s response to Am Yisrael’s lack of unity is: “You’re fighting? I’m going to hide.”
43:40 – PARAGRAPH 9. Parshas Shemos. Moshe Rabbeinu did not want to take on leadership of Am Yisrael, as in בִּי אֲדנָי לֹא אִישׁ דְּבָרִים אָנֹכִי גַּם מִתְּמוֹל גַּם מִשִּׁלְשֹׁם גַּם מֵאָז דַּבֶּרְךָ אֶל־עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי כְבַד־פֶּה וּכְבַד לָשׁוֹן אָנֹכִי – “…I beseech You, HaShem. I am not a man of words, neither from yesterday nor from the day before yesterday, nor from the time You have spoken to Your servant, for I am heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue” (Shemos 4:10, Shemos).
46:15 – Shleymus haDibur. Why Moshe Rabbeinu said, “I am not a man of words”.
