Vayigash - 5th Portion

Join me as we learn for today. The humish for the fifth Torah reading of parash using your can help you follow along with today's verse 8 chapter 46. These are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt with him. Jacob and his sons the elder the eldest son to Yakov the firstborn was why they called those that came to Egypt. So he explained as follows because of what's happening at the moment the Torah says therefore he says current came don't ask why he doesn't say that they already came because he's talking about what's happening at the moment verse n the children of the children of Shim is the and The son of the kananis. Why was he called the sh the son of the kananis? Who is thisanis? It doesn't mean woman but it means the son of Dina Benina the son of Dina that she had a relationship with which was and what happened was when they killed Dina said I don't want to leave who's going to marry him she was embarrassed promised that he would marry her and therefore this boy is called the son of Dina verse 11 ley the children of Ley Ging and the land of parrots and the children of parrots were the children of verse 15. These are the children of Leia. Ashel Yakov that gave birth to Jacob Padam in the in the place called Padam is Dina also as well was Dina her his daughter of all the people that we've counted are of his sons and his daughters come to a total of 30 33 persons. verse 15. If you notice over here, it says the males, he says Leia's children, Leia's sons. When it came to the females, which was he says this was Jacob's child. Why was that? Because of here the is telling us that if the woman is the one to uh be first, so therefore it comes out a male But if the if the female comes from the energy of the male. So the male comes of the energy of the female and the female comes because of the energy of the male. And therefore he puts Dina to Jacob while the boys theatim Ruven Shimy and so on to Leia 33 Rashi says and in detail that means when he mentions their names 32. So why does it say 33 this was which was born as they were entering into the city when they entered into the city of Egypt as it says that gave birth to her were in Egypt she was born in Egypt but she was not uh pregnant while she that means she was not conceived in Egypt that means she was born before they came here so therefore her name is not mentioned but there were 33 people total from this family because y was born as they entered into Egypt. Verse 16. God the children of God. 17. Uh the children of their sister. The children of Bria was verse 18. These are the children of Zil. Love that love and gave for Leia his daughter. and she gave birth to all these to Jacob in total 16 persons. Verse 19, the children of Rahul Asakov, the wife of Jacob, Yseph, Ysef. Verse 19, Rashi points out over here, or if you notice that by all the other wives, it does not say the wife of Jacob. It just says they gave birth to Jacob. because was the main stay woman of the home. Verse 20. And it was born to Yseph in the land of Egypt that his wife, the daughter of Potifer, Coen O, who was the priest of the uh at the time the daughter of the Cohen of Oasha. The two children were Manasha and Aphim. Verse 21, the children of verse 22, these are the children of you lovely that were born to all those entire people are 14 in all the children of verse 24 the children of was and vile These are the children of that love and gave to his daughter. She gave birth to these four. All the persons including were Shiva are seven. Verse 26. All the people that were now coming to Egypt with Jacob to Egypt were his own his own issue besides aside from the wives of Jacob and their son aside from the wives of Jacob's sons nephesh in total all persons were shish 66 rashi kaneshab rashi explains as follows all those that are counted for the family of Jacob that left the land of Cananan to come to Egypt were 66 and Rashi explains as follows. When we talk about the word over here means means of the past that means those coming currently in the evening she came and also we have comes with the sheep. Therefore, as Rashi mentioned previously that you can see what this is depending on where the tune where the canellation is on the alify. What is it? Why is that when they left to come left the land of to come to the land of Egypt were 66. However, the verse afterward says and the next verse says how many that came to Egypt were 70 which means past therefore it says base. Therefore the candellation will be on the base. Why is that? Where's there 66 or 70? Seemingly a contradiction that means when they left Egyp to come to Egypt there were 66 but when they arrived in Egypt there were 70. How does that happen? Because when they got there, there was and his two sons plus that was born between the walls. And according to those that say weren't all that we learned previously, who did they marry? That all the tribes were born with twins. So what happened to them either? How come they're not mentioned there? And how come they're not part of the count? We must say that these girls died before they came before they came to Egypt. Because since they are not counted of this tally, Rashi concludes and says I found Asaf only had six people in his family and the verse calls them is B plural. The the family that was in a word using plural terminology. Reason was because they were serving many different gods. However, he had 70 people in his family. However, but the Torah only calls him singular term, one person because they served only one Godf. Now, the Torah tells us verse 27 and the children of Yseph that were born to him in the land of Egypt. Nephesim were two people nephesh. Now if you make a total tally of the ones that were in Egypt plus the ones that were born right at the wall all of the persons to the family of Jacob that were now in Egypt was a total of 70. This concludes the Torah reading for Thursday.
