Join me in learning
for Shabas Parasik the seventh Torah
reading of Parasik. You can use your and
follow along to today's
verse 30 chapter 43.
and Yoseph hurried
because he was overcome with compassion
for his brothers and he wanted to cry.
So he went into another room
and he cried there.
He was overcome with emotions. The word
he says means became warm. overcome.
When something is overcome, it's ripened
because of the warmth of his flesh
which means that because it became hot
because of the hunger he was so u his
whole his skin creased
any type of flesh when you heat it up it
becomes creased. So therefore in this
case as well he was so uh overcome by
the emotions that is uses this
terminology
verse 31
he washed his face and he went out he
held himself in he was held his emotions
restrained his emotions and he said put
bread
verse 30 I'm sorry we missed one rashi
verse 30 and we missed the rashi the
first rashi which he asked about
[snorts]
he asked him do you have he asked Yseph
asked do you have another brother from
your mother
told him I did have another brother but
I don't know where he is so Yseph asked
him do you have sons
said yes I actually have 10 sons
Omar Yseph asked him, "What are your 10
sons names?"
Omar told him
all the different names. Yseph asked
him,
"Why did you give them these interesting
names?" Omar told him, "All of my sons
were named about my about my brother
and the suffering that he went through."
Bella, he was called Bella. is because
he was lost amongst the nations.
He was the first born from my mother
that God brought upon him pain suffering
that he's living in a place that's not
his
name. He was a beautiful fellow.
He was my brother who is above me.
He learned from my father.
He never saw me get married.
I never saw him get married. We weren't
able to celebrate at each other's the
he went down amongst the nations and we
don't know where he is.
This is the way it's explained in the
track date of
when Yseph hears that named all his 10
brother 10 children after the events of
Yseph's life. This caused him that he
was overcome by emotions because of it.
Verse 31 as we mentioned he washed his
face went out to him he was able to
restrain himself and he said put bread
what does the word mean says he was able
to restrain himself
being strong to restrain oneself verse
and they served him separately
and them separately
and to the Egyptians that were eating
with them separately as well
because it was not befitting for
Egyptians to eat with Hebrews
because it was abomination for the
Egyptians. What was an abomination?
Rashi says
this was something which was considered
disgusting for the Egyptians
to eat with the Hebrews.
Davlas gave the explanation about it was
because they ate meat and the animals
and they the Egyptians served the
animals as we see later on as well and
therefore they did not participate
together with them in the same meal.
If so the question that the Reb asks
then if they don't eat meat what then
did he tell them to go prepare? Didn't
he tell them before and go food? The Reb
explains the differences as we see what
was the reason why uh which animals died
during the plague of the firstborn were
the firstborn of the animals. The
Egyptians didn't eat firstborn animals
but they ate other animals while the
Hebrews ate all kinds of animals.
Verse 33
and Yoseph had them seated before
Yoseph.
firstborn according to seniority
and and the youngest according to his
youth
and the men looked at each other in
amazement how does he know who's older
and who's younger verse 33 Rashi says
how it actually happened and says as
follows
what he did was what does it mean the
older according to his according to
seniority Yoseph made as if he was a
magician
would knock his cup and
You're all part of one mother
according to this order according to the
way you were born. That's what he did
with all of them.
When it came to said this one doesn't
have a mother I don't have a mother said
let him sit next to me. Verse 34.
And he had portions served to them from
his table.
And portion was five times
is five times more than all the other
ones. They drank
and they became intoxicated with him.
Masses. What does this mean? Masses.
Rashi says verse 34.
portions.
If he divided amongst it with his
brothers, it was
because what he did was he gave him
according to Yseph and a frame. So
that's why he got five portions more
than them
because from the day they sold Yoseph,
they did not drink wine. either
shall say drank wine and because both of
them were in pain from the very fact
they were not together.
However, that day they did drink wine.
Chapter 44 verse one.
He told the people that are in charge of
his household are saying
fill the people's bags full of food
as much as you can
as much as they can carry
and place the money each one in his the
top of his pack.
two verse two
and my goblet the silver
you're going to put into the pack and
the opening of the pack of the youngest
and his money that he used to buy
produce
and they did exactly as Yseph said as he
spoke
verse two what is ga means a big cup
which was like a big bearish
and it's called madnish Verse
three
with the light of the morning and the
men were sent on their way
them and their donkeys they were able to
rest up from their intoxication and now
they were able to travel. Verse four
they had already left the city. They did
not get too far.
Yseph said to the people that were in
charge of his household, get up,
chase after those men and reach them,
you will tell them. Sit down and pursue
them. You will tell them,
"Wow, dare you pay back good with evil."
Verse five,
isn't it this, after all, the goblet
from which my master drinks from?
uses it for his divination.
You have done such an evil thing that
you have done that you have taken his
goblet
they caught up with them and they spoke
to them these words. Verse seven.
And they said to him, to the people that
caught up to them,
sir, why would you say such things?
It would be a disgrace for us to do such
a thing.
Could do such a thing. Verse seven.
This is something of weak day. Meaning
this is something of disgusting how even
you accuse us about it.
to your servants.
May God protect us from such a thing.
These similarities we find in the Talmud
and one of the famous terminologies
which are well known to everybody
meaning
God forbid may this happen that God
should not allow such an event even to
happen.
They continue verse eight.
Not only after all we brought you back
the money that you found on the top of
our bags.
We returned it to you from the land of
canan. That means we are so honest that
even when you gave us back the money we
came and returned it.
And how would we steal from your
master's home? Gold or silver we would
steal from your master's home.
Rashi tells us something fascinating. If
you look at the terminology that they
tell us
this is one of the
is a method of learning something when
you have something uh severe and
something light that you learn the
severe thing from the light thing. So
over here as you s see as well Rashi
tells us this is one of the 10 komers
that are mentioned in the Torah.
The medish goes on to enumerate what
those 10
are
sorry verse n
whichever one of your servants with this
is found will die and the rest of us
will be to our your master to our master
as slaves. Verse
10. And he replied,
"Although it should be as you have said,
that's the way it should be. However,
the one that finds it of it will be to
me for a slave
and the rest of you will go free."
Verse 10.
While technically what you're saying is
true,
this is true that all of you are liable.
However, the law is that if 10 men, one
of them found a stolen thing only in one
of them. They're all partners and
therefore you're all guilty. But I'm a
nice guy. Says,
I'm going to go beyond a letter of law.
Only the one that found was found by
Evan will be a slave.
Verse 11
and they quickly each one removed
his bag put it to the ground and they
opened up their bags. Verse 12 and they
searched each one beginning with the
oldest they started with and they ended
with the youngest and they found the
goblet in the bag of
why did they start with the older one
that the brothers shouldn't feel or know
that they knew exactly where it is.
Verse 13.
They tore their garments
and each one loaded his donkey by
himself
and they returned to the city.
They were very strong. Why did they have
to do it themselves?
They did not have to help each other
because they were very strong people.
They were able to load their own
donkeys.
They returned to the city. Weren't they
in the city? Weren't they in the
capital?
They were in the capital
calls it city
like it sounds like a regular city
teaching us
while this may have been a capital city
of Egypt but for them it was nothing of
importance
for them it was just like another
average city that 10 people are able to
overcome these 10 could take war and
fight against these the city in no time
verse
and his brothers came to the house of
he was still there
and they fell to him fell on the ground
before him.
What does it mean was still there? He
was waiting for them. Verse 15
and Yseph tells them what is this action
that you have done
that you have done? Don't you know
that I, a person like me, I can
determine the truth by logic. I know
what's going on. I have that divinity.
Verse 15.
Don't you know,
a person of my importance
that I'm able to logically figure out?
I'm an intellectual. I know how to
figure out things.
You think I wouldn't realize that you
are the ones that stole the goblet from
meuda
said
what can I say to my lord
what can I how can we speak how can we
prove our innocence
god has together found the sin of our
servant
behold we are slaves to your master to
our master
as well the one who has found the goblet
in his possession
says
um I'm sorry
verse 16 this is what Yehuda was saying
in the name of his brothers we know we
did not do anything wrong
but being that this happened to us
this is because God did it. They used to
bring this upon us.
God found who? A debtor and the person
came to collect his debt and therefore
we know that we have we did nothing
wrong. However, God brought this upon us
and therefore he's punishing sins that
other sins that maybe we have done
from the word. How can we improve our
innocence?
So to every word that has in it, the
foundation of the word is coming to tell
me a certain action that's happening
before it.
He puts a test instead of the VV.
doesn't put it before the first letter
which is the root word like
he puts it in middle of the main word
[snorts]
over here gives us multiple different uh
places where this is done from Yeshua
and all different places where we see
and all of these cases where he moves
the letter to the middle to be able to
change its present tense. Now Rashi also
continues to say we also find this when
a person is uh other words that are
changed we are depending where you put
the letter that they will change it's
present tense to past tense for example
so he says letter a word that begins
with
happening
will then separate the root letters and
they go between the root letters
So he gives us again a bunch of
different verses from Daniel
all different places where one letter
moves over comes into the place right
next to the root letter root letter
making the root word a different past
tense present tense or making a verb
making how it should work and react to
the verse that it's talking out
verse 17
and Yehuda responds I'm sorry and Yseph
Yseph replies to them
this would be a disgrace for me to do
that to make you all slaves
the one who is found with the goblet in
his hand who you love it he's going to
be a slave
and you guys
you can go in peace to your father As we
said earlier that this was Yoseph trying
to bring the brothers to the exact same
scenario where the brothers put Yseph in
the pit and how would they stand up for
their brother? Now Yseph can see would
they come to the same to to the actual
appropriate tshuva because they're put
in the same scenario. A brother is
taking away being taken away. Are they
going to stand up for that brother? They
can go back. They have now the
opportunity either to defend their
brother or go back to their father in
peace. This concludes the seventh Torah
reading of parasites.
