Chayei Sara - 2nd Portion

Join me as we learn together for Monday Pares chapter 23 verse 17. Yesterday we learned about purchases the field of the and the cave that's in it to be able to bury Ef to bury Sah and he buys it for 400 top dollar coins from Ephine. The Torah now continues and telling us continuing that story field of the which faced at the time the plains of the field and the cave that was in it and all the and every tree in its perimeter that was in the field in its all boundaries confirmed that this was all part of the purchase. Verse 18, I'm sorry, verse 17. It was got an upgrade. It went out of the hands of a simple person who was Ephrone to a king who was the simple interpretation of the words and it stood up. What does it mean that the field got up? Meaning that everything that was in the field now became the possession of a mika. This became a purchase in full view of all of we had and all the people who had come to the gates of the city verse 18. What does it mean? And all the people who came to the gates of the city in front of everybody while everybody was standing there he knew he sold it to him. So everybody saw the purchase nobody is able to dispute the transaction. Verse 19 once a now purchased a cave. It was completely his. He was then able to then cover. He buried a buried S's wife in the cave of the field of the Mam which faced the plains of Mam that isan in the land of Cananan Rashi. Next one verse n verse 20. And the field in its cave and everything that was in it was confirmed to's property as a burial ground from the people of chapter 24 verse one. And a was at this point this is now three years later in the year 2088 where a decided it is now time fork to get married. Ara at this point was 140 years old. And therefore, the Torah tells us Ara was old, coming in days, deeply internalizing his experience, as we'll soon see. And God blessed with everything. Rashi verse one. What does the word mean? What does it mean? Hashem blessed him with everything. Is the same numeric value as a son. And being that he had a son, Alisha, it was time to marry her off and to find a woman for him to marry. Over here, the Rebi tells us what does it mean? Abra was old in age. And now God blessed him with everything. Olden age meaning that he had internalized all his experience that every single day of his life he lived to his fullest. But even more so, some may ask, but didn't part of his life he was still educating himself and learning about godliness? It took him time according to different opinions of when he learned about God and then started teaching monotheism. Over here the Rebi learns from it that everything that he did because it was all part of his education are part of the filling of days. Meaning teaching us that even a young child that while they're learning in yeshiva or while we're giving them that education that well is filling their days meaning that they're utilizing it to their best so that when they get older they know what to do. That's part of the experience. Verse two. And a then summons his servants, the elder member of his household, who was in charge of everything that he owned. And he told him as follows. Place your hand under my thigh. What was he calling him for? As we're going to see verse two, Rashi explains the elder of his home. The reason because the word and zak really should be but because it's together with the word. Therefore, over here we have the word the oldest of his own. Why did he have to put his hand under his thigh? Because generally when a person takes an oath they have to hold an item of a mitzvah. The only mitzvah that had that he was commanded by Godz was the only mitzvah that he was commanded by God to do and it came through much pain and aggravation and he really cherished it. Therefore, he chose that mitzvah that that should be the one in the tala that he should be able to use it for an oath. Verse three. And I and you will swear to me and you will take an oath by the name of God of the heaven, God of the earth that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of theites that I am living amongst them. Meaning he does not want that. This is just a saying. This is actual something that he asks him to keep by because he's making him make an oath. Verse four. Instead, you will go to my former land where I used to live and to the place where I was born of my family. You will go and you will take from amongst them is a wife for my son Isaac. For my son, even though I've been away from them for a very long time, but you're still going to go to that area. Verse five. And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the w the woman will not wish to follow me to this land. Should I take your son back to the land that you departed from?" Meaning, what if the woman doesn't want to come here? Do you want me to go back there and bring your son there and maybe influence them and get them to come here? Verse six, and he told him told the servant, "You must be very careful. Do not take my son back there." Verse seven, the God in heaven that has taken me out of my father's home and from the place that I was born that told me he swore to me saying to your children to your offsprings I will give them this land he will send an angel before you and you're going to be able to find a woman for my son from there. Verse seven, Rashi, what is he referring to over here? He's only saying, but he did not mention it's the god of the earth like he said in the first time. And before when he said you should swear, he said in the name of the why does he do that? He said he is he's called the god of the heaven to gather the earth. because I have publicized his name because now people know about God. But when I left my parents' home at that time, he was only the God of the heaven. The people here did not know about him because the people of the land, the people of earth have not yet to come understand and appreciate and know the greatness of God. What does he mean? the place of his home of his father's home he's referring to where he left his father in the place that he was born that's when he left from the first time what does it mean he spoke to me for my needs that he promised me that my offsprings will inherit me therefore anytime the words or that have a connection with the words spoke they they're explaining meaning on the thing that the person just mentioned and it's Aramaic translation would be on me or on them or whatever it's referring to in the context it is incorrect to say that by the word to say me him or them to me to But when it says the words of is teaching us few laws in grammar when it comes to the words lee l and depending on the word prefacing it if it's bear or omar that would help you understand if the word is lee to me or is on me or about me. So if it's debear then it's about me and if it's Omar then it's to me he swore to me by the covenant of the splitting of the flesh that God of the animals that then he told hashem told Ara that his children will be the ones to inherit the land. Verse number eight but if the woman refuses and does not want to follow after you and then you'll be absolved of this oath of from this oath from me but be sure not to return my son there. Verse eight, what's the oath? The oath that I told you to find. So what would you do if she doesn't want to follow you? Then you'll take her from then you'll find a woman from the children from the daughters of Aner Eshkel and Mam that they were very uh special people in the land of Cananan that they were the ones that encouraged Aram to do the brisk ra which means with the exception my son does not go there my son will not go back to the land of but my grandson will verse nlay and the and the servant placed his hand under the thigh of a and he swore to him regarding this. This concludes the second to reading of
