Beshalach - 2nd Portion

Join me as we learnish for today, Monday, the Torah reading, the second Torah reading of Mashalak. Yesterday we learned as the Jewish people were three days into their journey, God told them to take an awkward way. Thereby they should not have to come into any type of uh wars. However, Pharaoh hearing that the Jewish people are so to speak stuck that God made told them to wait by balon. Pharaoh convinces the rest of his nation that it's time for us to get the Jewish people back three days into it as they did not yet return. However, the Jewish people are now triumphantly already leaving Egypt and God is protecting them with a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. Chapter 14 verse 9. Today we learn as Pharaoh continues to pursue the Jewish people and the Egyptians chased after them and they overtook them and they reached them while they were resting by the sea of all Pharaoh's chariots and horses and his horsemen and the generals on them. before. Verse 10. And Pharaoh got close, got nearer. And the Jewish people lifted their eyes and they saw and the Egyptians were coming right behind them. They became very frightened and they cried out to God. came close. He became why does he say that he drew himself nearer? He tried to push himself more than everybody else to be in the front like he made the deal with them. The word is to say plural that they were traveling. Why does it say in singular term? were all one of the like in one heart, one desire to be able to pursue and get the Jewish people. Another explanation, they saw the angel of Egypt that was traveling with them to fight against the Jewish people to help them and they cried out. They took the character and the way of what their forefathers did that whenever they were in trouble, they prayed to God. Abra, Isaac, and Jacob, the three times that they were in trouble, so to speak. They needed to know what to do. They prayed and therefore they also realized that it's time for us to pray to God as well. Verse 11. They said to Moshe, "Was there not enough graves in Egypt? You took us to die in the desert. What is this you have done to us that you have taken us out of Egypt? Are there not enough graves in Egypt that you took us out of there to be able to that we couldn't have been buried there? Verse 12. Isn't this the thing that we spoke to in Egypt saying leave us alone and we'll serve Egypt. We are fine. We were doing better serving the Egyptians than dying out in the desert. He says, "When did they tell this to Moshe?" If you recall at the end of the Torah reading of they said, "God should judge you for what you have done." What does the word say mean? Moose is not aim. It's a verb from dying. if it would had a on it but as it's known to the it explains the word over here we have it's coming to tell us from dying so do we find as in other verses Rashi gives examples anytime he changes a grammatical change and he shows the grammatical difference from one to the next he tells us he brings proof to his verses and over here he also does that as well by bringing us in later on where it says so to in different places that he talks about what it refers to from dying as it will or the terminology from a certain experience that I will get up and come back or return in the different places and verses that he mentions verse 13 Moshe says to the people to have no fear. Stand firm and see the salvation of God that God will perform for you today. For the way you see the Egypt now today, you will never see them again. Verse 13. The fact that you see them and you're getting concerned and you're worried. It's only today who this today is the last time you're going to see them. You'll never see them again. So don't you be concerned. Don't you be worried. Yes, you see them. You're panicking, but you'll never see them again. Verse 14, God will b do the battle for you and you are to remain silent. because of you also again Rashi is bringing us different interpretations where it says will do the battle for you also saying this type of terminology that you will be arguing with the bal and so on different places in this same terminology. This concludes the Torah reading for the second day of paras.
