this is the famous story of the brothers
selling yosef to the ishmaelim the
traveling band of israeli arabs who are
there
to eventually sell him to mitzrayim
where he eventually ends up and there is
an interesting ambiguity in the pursuit
we're always taught in the story is that
the brothers take yosef out of the pit
they sell him to the ishmaelim that they
see
and they eventually sell him down to
potivar in mitzrayim reuven suddenly
comes back later can't find him and he's
all nervous but if you look in the sukim
it's a little bit more ambiguous than
that in fact there's a mahloka between
rashi and the rashbom who in fact sold
yosef rashid tells us that we
traditionally learned that the brothers
sold yosef but if you look at the sukim
the torah is
deliberately ambiguous and the rest bomb
in fact says that ishmael
sold yosef
that it wasn't the brothers at all and
they came back and weren't sure exactly
what happened to him fascinating why
would the torah do this why would it be
so deliberately ambiguous as to exactly
what happened
and one of the ideas is that hashem has
a plan hashem is playing it's going to
happen whatever hashem wants to do is
going to be in the end our job is to do
the right thing right now we need to do
that which he commands us we need to
always stick to the right and true path
he has a plan whether it was the
brothers whether it was the ishmael
there's a plan the torah is deliberately
ambiguous about the details because they
don't always matter they matter to the
people doing the action but to us as the
readers we're recognizing the story of
seifer bracey
who has a plan he has a plan for how ami
israel is going to develop and be it
this way be it that way the plan is
going to be our job is to do the right
and the good right now
we'll take care of the rest
