Toldos - 4th Portion

[Music] Join as we learn together for the fourth day of parish has told us Wednesday Parish has told us chapter 26 verse 23 yesterday we spoke about as dug the wells he got into a few disagreements with the shepherds of Gur until he uh dug his that there were no quarrels over And today we see a travels from and he left from there he went to be verse 24 God appeared to him on that night and he said I am the God of your father of the father do not be afraid because all of what you've went through I am with you and I will bless you and I will make your descendants numerous for the sake of my servant. Verse 25 after had this vision of Hashem built an altar there and he called it with the name of Hashem. He invoked Hashem. He pitched his tent there and then he built then he dug another his servants dug another well but they did not discover water immediately verse 26 and aime came in the meantime came to from And together with came a group of some of his friends and the chief of his troops. What does the mean? So Rashi explains verse 26. A group of his friends that came to visit him. Rashi brings another opinion who may uh disagree with what this may mean and he explains as follows. There are those that explain the word means that means comes from the actual is not that the not that the main word is and this means but actually the foundation the root word is that there were three 30 friends. So that the word and the word of should be connected one another like you says and not. So therefore the me ofu becomes part of the uh root word as well. However, however Rashi says he still believes that the first interpretation is correct and he says why you don't talk about the king that he took with him. You don't say he took his friends or he took some of his friends. You have to say that means all his friends went with him. It wasn't all of his friends. Only some of the people came with him. And therefore, you have to explain that like the first interpretation that he only took one of his friends. So you may ask then so why does it say it should say even though that it's not the word that's connecting to it? We have this interpretation. We have such type of setup in other places where the PK adds a tough at the end of a word even though it's not connected to the word afterwards like to help salvation from the pain and suffering in drunk but not from wine. So you see over here as well when you have the word at the end of the word it does not necessarily have to connect to the word afterward. And therefore over here when it means that he brought some of his friends he doesn't mean that he brought all his friends he brought some of his friends or one of his friends together to bring to to come to visit as Rashi continues in this vein a group who are close together. Verse 27 says to them, "Why did you come to me? You guys hate me. How do I know you hate me? You sent me away from you. You didn't want me to live with you." Verse 28. When they responded, "We have seen that God is with you." And we said, "Let there be an oath be made between us between us and between you." And we will make a covenant with you. Rashi explains what does it mean? A double vision. We saw with your father and we see that with you as well that God is with you. Allah say let us make an oath. What is this oath that's between us already from the time of your father? Let us continue this oath between each other. Rash verse 29. So that if you that if you will do with us no evil that we did no harm to you like we did with you like we treated you in only a good way. We will we will then send you off in peacem. Now you treat us the same way and are blessed by God. Meaning to say like we told you go from us. We didn't make anything bad from you. It was just that we wanted it only be good. Meaning also you should also do the same for us and be kind and be good with us. This concludes a Torah reading for Wednesday, the fourth Torah reading of Parasolus.
