Efrayimbenshalom

Los Hijos de Israel se multiplican en Egipto. Amenazado por la creciente cantidad de Israelitas, el Faraón los esclaviza y ordena a las parteras hebreas Shifra y Pua, matar a todos los varones que nazcan. Cuando ellas no cumplen, manda a su propia gente a arrojar a los bebes hebreos al Nilo.

Iojeved, la hija de Levi, y su marido Amram tienen un hijo. El niño es colocado en un canasto en el río, mientras su hermana, Miriam, observa desde lejos. La hija del Faraón descubre al niño, lo cría como propio y lo llama Moshe.

El patriarca desea revelar el final de los días a sus hijos, pero es impedido por Elohim. Iaacov bendice a sus hijos, asignando a cada uno su rol como tribu: Iehuda producirá líderes, legisladores y reyes; los sacerdotes provendrán de Leví, sabios de Isajar, navegantes de Zvulún, maestros de escuela de Shimón, soldados de Gad, jueces de Dan y cosechadores de olivas de Asher. Reuben es advertido por haber "confundido el matrimonio de su padre"; Shimón y Leví por la masacre de Shjem y el plan contra Iosef. Naftalí es dotado con la velocidad de un ciervo, Biniamín con la ferocidad del lobo y Iosef es bendecido con belleza y fertilidad.

Iaacov vive los últimos 17 años de su vida en Egipto. Antes de fallecer, pide a Iosef que jure que lo enterrará en la Tierra Santa. Luego bendice a los dos hijos de Iosef, Menashe y Efraim, elevándolos al nivel de sus propios hijos, como progenitores de tribus en la nación de Israel.

, Iosef revela su identidad diciendo "Yo soy Iosef. ¿Mi padre aún está vivo?"

Los hermanos son invadidos por la vergüenza y el remordimiento, pero Iosef los reconforta. "No fueron ustedes los que me enviaron aquí," les dice, "sino Elohim. Todo fue ordenado desde el cielo para salvarnos, y a toda la región, de la hambruna."

Joseph’s prison ends when Pharaoh dreams of seven fat

cows, being swallowed by seven skinny cows, and seven

big ears swallowed by seven thin ears. Joseph interprets

dreams as meaning that seven years of plenty will be

followed by seven years of famine and advises Pharaoh to

store grain during the seven years of plenty. Pharaoh

appoints Joseph as governor of Egypt. Joseph marries

Asnat, daughter of Potiphar, and they have two sons,

Menashe and Ephraim.

Famine spreads throughout the region. Ten of Joseph’s

brothers come to Egypt to buy grain. Benjamin stays at

home because Jacob fears for his safety. Joseph recognizes

his brothers, but they do not recognize him; he accuses

them of being spies, insists that they bring Benjamin to

prove what they said, and holds Shimon prisoner as a

hostage. Later, the brothers discover that the money they

paid for their provisions is returned to them

Iehuda se acerca a Iosef para pedir por la liberación de Biniamín, ofreciéndose a así mismo como esclavo al líder Egipcio en lugar de su hermano. Luego de presenciar la lealtad de sus hermanos unos a los otros, Iosef revela su identidad diciendo "Yo soy Iosef.

Los hermanos son invadidos por la vergüenza y el remordimiento, pero Iosef los reconforta. "No fueron ustedes los que me enviaron aquí," les dice, "sino Elohim. Todo fue ordenado desde el cielo para salvarnos, y a toda la región, de la hambruna."

Vayeshev

Jacob settles in Jevron with his 12 sons. His favorite is 17-

year-old, Joseph. Joseph’s brothers are jealous of the

preferential treatment he receives, such as the

multicolored sack Jacob gave him. Joseph tells his brothers

about two dreams he has, which prophecy to rule over

them, increasing envy and hatred towards him.

The 5 Levels of the Soul are: (Yechida), (Chayá), Neshamá,

(Ruach) and Nefesh (the latter is the biological part, the

pure egoistic desire). The human being (from 0 to 12 years

for women and 13 years for men) lives exclusively at this

level of Nefesh.

Unfortunately, a big part of the population is born, lives,

and dies at the Nefesh level.

VAYISHLAJ

Jacob returns to the Holy Land after twenty years of living

in Jaran. He sends Malachim emissaries to Eisav for a

reconciliation, But his messengers report that his brother

is on his way to him with 400 armed men. Yacov prepares

for war, prays, and sends a gift to Eisav (consisting of

hundreds of sheep and cows) to calm him down. That

night, Jacob crosses his family and possessions by the

Iabok River.

“Jacob” means “who will hold him by the heel” The name

Jacob comes from the noun “akav” which means “heel”

and describes the patriarch before the meeting in Peniel.

He connected to his earthly situation full of afflictions.

Toldot

Itzhak marries Rivka. After twenty childless years, Rivka

conceives. Pregnancy is difficult, as “children fight within

you”; Elohim tells him that he has “two nations in his

womb” and that his younger son will prevail over the

elder. Eisav comes out first. Jacob is born taking the heel

of Eisav. Eisav grows up to be a “hunter, a man of the

field”; Jacob is a “complete man,” an inhabitant of the

studio’s tents. Isaac prefers Eisav and Rivka to Jacob.

Returning exhausted and hungry from the countryside

after the day of hunting, Eisav sells Jacob the merits that

correspond to him as firstborn for a stew of red lentils.

Isaac prefers Eisav and Rivka to Jacob. Returning

exhausted and hungry from the countryside after the day

of hunting, Eisav sells Jacob the merits that correspond to

him as firstborn for a stew of red lentils. In Gear, in the

land of the Philistines, Isaac presents Rivka as his sister for

fear of being killed by someone desiring Rivka’s beauty.

Eisav marries two Hittite women. Isaac becomes old and

blind and expresses his desire to bless Eisav before his

death. While Eisav goes hunting to prepare his father’s

favorite food, Rivka dresses Jacob in Eisav’s clothes, covers

his arms with goatskin to simulate his hairy brother,

prepares a similar dish, and sends Jacob to his father.

Jacob receives his father’s blessing to have “the dew of

heaven and the best of the earth” and to rule his brother.

When Eisav returns and the deception, all Isaac can do for

his son is predicted that he will live by his sword and that,

when Jacob descends, Eisav will rise. Jacob leaves his

home for Haran to escape the wrath of Eisav and to find a

wife in the family of his mother’s brother, Laban. Eisav

marries a third wife, Ishmael’s daughter Majlat
