In this Torah Portion Afterthought, Shirah Chante reflects on Shemot, the opening portion of the Book of Exodus, and explores one of Scripture’s most striking paradoxes:

The more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied.

As Pharaoh attempts to suppress the people of Israel through affliction and slavery, God’s power is revealed in an unexpected way—through growth, expansion, and multiplication. This episode invites listeners to recognize God’s presence in places where decline should have occurred, but purpose prevailed instead.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• The meaning of Shemot (“Names”)
• Oppression as a failed strategy against God’s promises
• God’s supernatural activity in hidden places
• The birth of Moses and the significance of being “drawn out”
• How this Torah portion speaks into modern life and faith

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and encounter the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is still working powerfully today.
