Joseph’s brothers threw him into an empty pit… but the Torah adds a strange detail: “there was no water in it.” If it was already “empty,” why say more? Ancient Jewish commentators insisted this wasn’t just a dry hole — it was filled with snakes and scorpions. But why hide that detail? And how does this surprising insight reshape Joseph’s story and our own spiritual lives? Join me to explore these questions in this week’s 5 Minute Torah.
