ALL PARSHA - The Ramban on Parshas Mikeitz

and welcome everyone to a special edition of all parisha on parashasbi kids the ramban and parashas mikates this ramban is one of the very fundamental pieces on safer braces this uh it's a necessary approach to understand Joseph's conduct in mitzrayim because in general one could ask how could you alwaysif keep his father in suspense and pain Joseph was alive why doesn't he send a letter to Yakov yaakov don't worry don't sweat it I'm alive uh they sold me down to metrium everything's okay doesn't do that instead it seems like he's dragging this out and seems like whatever he could do to inflict pain on his brothers he is and in fact there are doc learns that some of the activities of Joseph were to inflict pain on his brothers but even if that is understandable but why is he keeping his father in such suspense and he imprisoned Shimmer in Indian prisons Benjamin and in the context of these encounters the possible membes possible testsgarh Joseph remembered the dreams that he dreamed about them your spies you came to see The Shame of the land and the ramban begins in plastic tests by citing Rashi what does it mean he dreamed to them says ramban alaihem upon them meaning not the dreams that he dreamed to them but about them quoting and here Joseph sees that his dreams are being fulfilled he dreamed that his brothers would bow down to him and here when the brothers encounter him they in fact bow down to him they in fact bow down to him this is the language of Rashi says in my opinion it's the exact opposite not that Joseph saw the dreams were fulfilled he sees the dreams were not yet fulfilled of the possible saying most of the brothers bowing to him he remembered both dreams and he realized that one of the dreams was not fulfilled at this time meaning he realized none of the dreams were fulfilled not even one of them were fulfilled certainly yaakov is not here and his uh Villa is not here and the emoys are not here but even all the brothers are not here he understood that The Interpreter interpretation of the dream was that all the brothers would bow down to him from the very first dream in the first stream the Torah reports he turns to all the brothers and he says we were bundling bundles refers to all the brothers and the second time the sun would bow to him and the 11 Stars is Benjamin here bowing downtown Benjamin's not down here in Midstream because he thought of this machination and trick to come up with a pretext against them so that they would bring Benjamin down and now Benjamin would bow down and at least the first Dream would be fulfilled like to First fulfill the first dream that older brothers would bow down and then yaakov would come down about him as well that's the reason why from the beginning Joseph didn't just say I'm Joseph your brothers why didn't Yosef just tell them I'm Yosef your brothers your brother the low man to say marrow values alavi quickly bring up Dan V is and let him and send the wagons like he did the second time because you know his father would come immediately and he can't have his father come immediately because first he has to fulfill the first Dream that all the brothers bow down and then he could fulfill the second dream that yaakov and the mothers also Bow Down and after the first dream was fulfilled he get longashani he's relating to them to fulfill the second dream meaning after the first Dream is fulfilled then he reveals himself and then they all come down to they all come to bow down to him but if it were not for this if not that Yosef had this husband that he has to first try to bring to fruition to fulfillment of the first Dream Joseph would have been reckoned a great sinner for causing his father distress to keep him for so many days bereft of his son the evil and morning Al shiman for the loss of Shimon were shimon's incarcerated 11 for him and even if you want to say says the brother some pain because after all after everything they did to him and in fact the radak learns that some of the activities of Josef were to cause some stress to the brothers even if he wanted to paint the brothers a little bit how could he not have some mercy on the old age of his father all of this your safe did appropriately in its correct time is to fulfill the dreams because he knew they would definitely be fulfilled foreign allowed to cause so much pain to his brothers and to his father and to cause his father so much Tsar to the extent that yaakovino lost he should have sent the word right away to his father I'm alive what is is it up to Yosef to control the Affairs of this world why is Joseph so to speak meddling in the fears of Heaven God wants his dreams to be fulfilled God will figure out a way to have the dreams fulfilled Joseph's responsibility is to honor his father Not to cause his father distress but the mafarsham explained look in the other cellio of the gra the nachos of the nasivas that these dreams were not ordinary dreams these dreams were prophecy and if someone has prophecy not only can they they not hold it within but they have to do whatever is in their capacity to ensure the prophecy comes to fruition the ramban then is bothered well now that all the brothers came down including to bow down to him why did Joseph frame Benjamin with the Goblet what's the reason for that whole episode now all the brothers bow to him so now let them let him reveal himself that I'm Joseph and go get Dad and he'll come down and bow to me as well why is he framing Yosef with the govia says also the second activity that Yosef did with the Goblet this was not yosef's plan to cause them distress it's just that Joseph didn't trust them Yosef thought that if they would now go back with binyamin maybe the sale of the mahiro would come up and they would bear animosity against binyamin and they would harm him he suspected maybe they have hatred maybe they're jealous of him because the yaakov had extra love for Benjamin like they were jealous of Yosef oh yes finally realized that they were the ones who sold the ice safe and um binyamin was in a fight with them and maybe they would harm him vinola and there was some kind of animosity between them and therefore Joseph did not want Benjamin to travel back with them so he framed Benjamin to keep in Yemen with him to protect Benjamin he didn't want Benjamin to go with them uh less than Yemen cast blessed day harmonium until they tested them that in other words if once Yosef in concert had been Yemen if they would just say okay just keep him then they would then Joseph would realize that in fact there is animosity and he did the right thing but if they were to sort of fight for Benjamin and risk their lives for Benjamin then Yosef would see that in fact they had a second thoughts and they regretted what they did to you safe all the words that we read that Yehuda spoke before his brothers until you get up to Yahoo that Joseph cannot restrain himself this was reconciliation to Joseph Pierce words of conciliation to his brothers Pierce conciliation to Benjamin piosis Joseph sees how they're willing to their sacrifice for the children of Raquel and now Joseph could feel comfortable that they would take care of Benjamin on the way back all of these subjects in his wisdom of interpreting the dreams because you could Wonder meaning says all of yosef's activities were not trying to cause the brother pain they all could be explained because Joseph was was trying to facilitate the fruition of the dreams because otherwise you could ask him after Joseph stood in Egypt for so many days he was an officer a prince but they Sarah God about messiah in the house of such such a great minister in Egypt how could it be he didn't send one letter to his father Lord's only about six day uh travel to Chevron how long would a letter take or only take six days for the letter to get to yaakov and even via the Elohim even if it was a travel of a year he should have honored his father and sent the messenger to tell his father he's all right if he should have let his father know for his own honor for the honor of his father it would have been precious the Redemption of the Soviet mama and yaakov would have redeemed them for all the money in the world so why didn't Yosef send the simple letter Dad I'm okay and maybe try to get me out of here and the answer is Yosef felt bound by the dreams that he had to bring the dream to fruition the Bowing of the brothers to him become Aviv and also his father because in all of his father's descendants that would never be in Canaan in other words if Joseph was released and freed from prison it would never happen that the brothers and that yaakov would bow to him in the land of Canaan he hoped and he anticipated that it would occur in Egypt because he saw the unusual and Supernatural success he was rising to Boris great success after he saw the dream of paroi schindus Borough like when he saw the dream of paroi that there would be famine in Egypt and he realized how that would bring all his brothers down to Egypt he saw it was clear to him that they would all come there via skymok and all his dreams would be fulfilled so the ramban learns that Yosef was compelled to bring these dreams to fruition considering these dreams a form of Prophecy as archaima College points out by all the details of the dream of Yosef it says the word means definitive Vision a vision of Prophecy and since this was felt compelled to bring the fruition of the dream to the light of day this is the incredible approach of ramban to the episode of the safe and ultimately Not only was the first Dream fulfilled but in parashas yaakov two comes down to mat's rhyme and then the second dream and prophecy of Yosef also comes to fruition none of the words of Prophecy ever are turned back empty-handed they all come to it's their ultimate fruition wishing everyone a wonderful rest of the week and Shabbos foreign
