Parshas Vayechi (1) - Yaakov Avinu’s Final Request and Final Bracha

This week's para is parasi and we are hashem holding at the 12th and final para of safe paras. We're in the middle of a perk perme. So paras very much is a continuation of the end of parash. What happened in the end of parasu nephesh went to settle in. The primary reason that he went to was he heard that he heard his beloved son Ysef was alive. Obviously he wanted to see him. But really it was a little more than that because when [snorts] Yakov was in route to Mitzim, he stopped off in Beerva. And when he was in Beerva, he had a dream. And in his dream came to him and he told him that I want you to not just go to Mitzim and see, but I actually want you to settle in Mitim. I want you to stay there. As a matter of fact, I am going to bring you out of Mit when the time is right, but for the foreseeable future, I want you to remain in Mit. And the Pik says that using his was able to find a large plot of land that was in Mit, but at the same time somewhat removed from the culture of Mitan. It was in the land of Gish. That's where Jacob settled and the says very very last either way very much as a continuation of that last part begins lived in for 17 years. And if you tally up the entire life of Jacob Aavinu, the 17 years that he lived in Mitim and all the years that he had lived prior, Yakavinu lived for 147 years. Now the truth is it almost feels like Jacobu just passed away in the first which would mean that the next is going to pick up the day after the Yakino. But we know that really par is to the contrary. It's the story of the final moments, the final days, final weeks of the life of Yakavino. So really this Pix's a little bit of a header, but really we're going to go a little back in time now. Not a lot, but a little bit back in time. And we're going to talk about it's interesting the say it doesn't say it says. Now all those words are synonyms of each other. But at the same time say that the word has a little bit of a deeper meaning. It's lived 17 years in but these were full years. He lived for those 17 years. His life was infused with and this was really in contrast to the trials and tribulations that is very much the story of Yakov. Yakabinu from a very young age literally in his mother's womb was already fighting with Asov. Ultimately he was a fugitive. He had to hide in yeshiva for 14 years. He had to spend years of his life 20 years by love which was very nishmak. Even when he came back to Eritan immediately he had to deal with the of and then he had to deal with the of his beloved and life was a very very difficult life but the 17 years that he lived in that was [snorts] and it's ironic because Jacob lives most of his life in for him was very much when he lived in for those 17 years he had it incredibly incredibly well which was really the opposite of the of what the story of his offspring was going to be the years in were going to be very very challenging they entered in the times of but for Jacob the story is almost in the reverse didn't just live in for 17 years but he had an incredible during those 17 years. Either way, we now pick up the narrative right around the time of Jacobu feeling that he's getting close to passing away. These are the final moments of the life of Jakav says the Israel as felt that his days were numbered. He was getting very very close to when he was going to leave this world. So he called his son and he told him I request of you to place your hand underneath my and you should do for me. What is that? Please make sure that when I die I am not buried in I want to be put to rest together with my father and with my grandfather. Thus I'm asking you to carry me from bury me together with them in these response was I'm going to do exactly what you requested of me to do said I want you to swear he swore and then he bowed down. So the beginning of these three high level watches happen in these three calls and he tells I'm requesting of you where do I want to be buried that's where I want to be buried said of course Tata if that's what you I can make things like this happen. I'll absolutely make it [snorts] happen. But wanted more than just he told him which of course is the way were done and he I want you to swear and he went ahead and he swore. So a few things. First of all, the Ramban says that why was it that wanted Yseph to swear? It almost sounds like from that he doesn't trust him. Yseph says what does Yakov say? I don't want you to just tell me. I want you to swear and then afterwards he was already okay. So says to think that didn't trust. Of course, he trusted in Ysef. However, Yakov was a and he was a little bit concerned that maybe Pyro was going to put up a little bit of a fight and Pyro was going to tell Yseph that I would rather Yakov be buried here in Mitim. Yakov was a very very big deal even amongst the Egyptians and for parro to have Yakov buried in his country was a tremendous cover. He believed it was going to bring tremendous braha. Remember when Yakov came to Mitzim it brought according to Rashi the hunger stopped according to everybody the nos began to rise so there was a tremendous shea that came into Mitzim as soon as Yakov came and as a result parro is going to vote in favor of Yakov's corpse remaining in Mitzim so to preempt that what did Yakov do he told Ysef I want you to swear why is that going to change anything because he knew Pari was a decent guy we've mentioned mentioned this a few times and as a result he trusted that Pari would honor the oath of Ysef and to the extent that Ysef already swore now Par's not going to put up a fight so he's not making Ysef swear because he doesn't trust Ysef 100%. When you learn the sug of that's usually why a person would make a nad, why a person would make a that's very much not what's going on over here. What's going on over here is that he is a little bit concerned about parro and to preempt parro he went and he told him I want you to swear. That's the first. The second is why did Yakob make this request of Ysef? Why didn't he make it of Ruven and Shiman and Leia of Yehuda? Why did he make it from any of the other brothers? So that's easy. It's a rational. The reason he reached out to him is because he understood that he was someone that was able to make it happen. And because he was someone that was able to make it happen, it made sense that he should be the person that we should make this request of. The Pik says after swore so [snorts] was very very pleased. He bowed down. So what does it mean by so says is his head was facing the top of the bed. that has a special connection to the is literally that means if somebody goes to be the certain is that he has to observe that's the chabas because of the fact that he's in the presence of the now where exactly is the relative to the it's so bows down what direction is he going to bow down in he's bowing down in the direction of makes a lot of sense. He's given where is the it's why says another Rashi says alita is not a place it's not geographically it's not the physical location it's not the direction that Yakov was bowing towards but rather alita was the reason that he bowed down the reason of bowed down was because he was that all His children turned out to be sadikim. Even says Rashi who was a mel and he was he was and for whatever reason at this moment felt this his and he was inspired to give and he's bowing down. Why? Because his bed literally was not the direction but rather it's the reason it's the cause. It's the time why it is he's bowing down. says, I think what the means is Jacob was very old. He was very frail, couldn't get off the bed. And as a result, when he bowed down, he didn't bow down on the floor, which is where a person would usually bow down, but he bowed down couldn't get off the bed. And this is just another way that the Tyra is making the point that Yakabu is already towards the end of his life. He's lying in bed. He's so he wants to bow down now to give he can't even get off his bed not in the direction not because but literally on the top of the bed as opposed to on the floor which is where people usually would go and the reason is simply because of the fact that he was so what's request his request is that he wants to be buried in Now why did he want to be buried there? Last point. So if you look at Rashi says three reasons. Number one because understood that if somebody's buried in eventually his g is going to turn into king. It's going to turn into lice. Additionally, the melarit have to go through the the pain of the Gilg have to go through tunnels as opposed to people that live in don't have to deal with and finally he was worried that the Egyptians would make him into a deity. They would make him into a gachka. They would make him into a but that's just giving us additional reasons. But the is he wanted to be buried in the story of goes back to the beginning of where bought from Ephra that's very much where he wanted to be buried that's where he was buried together with that's where was buried that's where Leia was buried and kuven that's where yak wanted to be buried well we learn we spoke out foray that says that Even though the chosen city amongst Israel, something we spoke a lot about on the is Jerusalem, but when it comes to being buried, the chosen city in the entire world is the city of Sham says it wasn'tist that all the so badly wanted to be buried here and that's the is all going on beginning. So of course Rash is giving us reasons why he doesn't want to be buried in Egypt maybe. But at the end of the day wants to be buried in why to be buried in [snorts] which is the place that to be buried. This was request. He made it of Ysef because Ysef was the one that was able to execute something like this. And Ysef told him, "I'll do it." And he didn't just tell him he'll do it. He swore. He swore either way. Some time passed from this episode. And someone came and told Ysef. Rashi says, "Who was the someone?" It was a fra with. And he went back and he told Ysef the following, "Your father's sick. He's very, very sick. I think this is the end. It's time. Everyone has to gather together." So when he took his two sons with him, so came and he told your son is coming. So with his final strength, he made himself strong and he sat down on the bed. Now is talking to Yseph. He tells him, You should know the creator of the world. He appeared to me in which is in the land of and when he appeared to me he gave me a this was the he told me going to come from you and not just that I'm going to give you this land the land of it's something that's going to belong to you and it's going to belong to your offspring. So the first thing that Yakov tells Ysef during this final final encounter the beginning of the parish was the second to final encounter but this is the final encounter. What does he tell him? He tells him that when I was in appeared to me, he gave me a he told me as now truth is if we go down memory lane had appeared to in loose twice. He appeared to him when Yakov was leaving Cananan in route to Lavan to Padar and then on his way back he appeared to him again. As a matter of fact if you look in the parish this is parac says what does it mean? So says this was the second time he had appeared to him. Now when says that appeared to me is he referring to the first time or is he referring to the truth is look at the of what told during those two times and look at what is quoting right now. If you look at the second time It's almost verbatim what tells right now. So quotes what the told him the second time that he was in L. That's when he was going from Padam heading back to the land of K. This is the first thing that he tells him. Here's the second thing he says. Now, the two sons that you had init before I myself came here, they're going to belong to me just like are my sons and are going to be my sons as well. Then he continued and said, "Any children, however, that you had or will have after I already arrived in those children are not mine. Those children are going to belong to you. And when it comes time to inheritan, they're going to inherit the land together with their brothers." So the second thing that Jacob tells Yseph during this very very momentous encounter was the immortal words. However, not. So, what's happening over here? A few things. First of all, the says that it sounds to me from these like had more than just two sons. Everyone knows Ysef had two sons and I don't know if was talking about And then it sounds like there's two sets of children. There's the children that were born prior to arriving and 17 years have passed. There's the children that were born afterwards. And the Ramban says that even though it's not just from the t of the words that really had additional sons because it could be means children that you're going to have in the future but says if said those words it's impossible that those words left the mouth of and for sure they would have to be manifest in a real way just it's impossible that something that comes out of the mouth of wouldn't if those words emerge there's no question to me says that had more than just two sons he didn't just have he had sons in addition to that okay now what exactly do these even mean I mean we know these words but if you look at It's even more than that. It's as if I'm taking them for myself. It's only the children you're going to have afterwards. Those children are going to belong to you. But what does it even mean? What is the t of a tell what says really all the say this? This is something that we all know but sometimes we forget where to put it in the and that is who was Jacob Au's Bakar Jaku's Bakar was Ruv. It was Ruv but Ruv lost the B. It's one of the themes of Serious as was the Bakar and then Yakob gets the B. Ruin was really supposed to be the Bkar just based on the fact that he was so he's supposed to be the Bakar but Ruvane lost the B. The B was taken from Ruain. It was given to Ysef. You know how we know that? How do we know that? It's a it's a the says but because of the bill the was taken away from and it was given to such a different it's a that who was ultimately the bakar the bakar became ysef when did y become become the Bakar this second. That's what just happened in these two. Okay. So, where do you see that Ysef is becoming the Bakar? It's very simple says Raman cuz what's the Bakar akar GETS PAY THAT'S WHAT A BAKAR gets what Jacobu told Ysef right now was that Aphim and Manasha are going to be like Ruven and Chim meaning I'm going to count your two sons as if they're my two sons now with regards to what? So it's not look at Rashi. There's a lot going on over here. But says the children you're gonna have afterwards are going to be yours. Those children when it comes to inheriting the land, they're just going to be like, I don't know, any one of your children as opposed to as opposed to when it comes to they're not going to be treated like your children. They're going to be treated like my children. In other words, the land of cananas are going to be divided amongst my children. So, Ruven's going to get and Shim's going to get and Levi is going to get and Yehuda is going to get and is going to get. And when it comes to you're going to get two, your two sons are going to be like my two sons. You're going to get a double portion. That is the D of Akar gets a so of we know all the it's all beautiful. It's fire. But the t of is that you're going to be at this moment went he took the from and he transferred it over he gave it he gave it to and that's the of the speak out that if you understand that again it's obvious but if you understand that that's the hook of P right before that cuz what was the first thing that Jacob told Yseph? He told him that when I was in gave me a and he told me he promised me the land of Cananan and he told me that really the ofan is going to play itself out not so much with you it's going to play itself out with your children. That means I have this I have this that I'm able to bequeath over to my children and grandchildren and it's the land of I'm telling you right now you're getting pish of that that's the of the god-in-laws that I'm going to have offspring and the offspring are going to get as I now I'm the on this gift I can decide exactly how it's going to be distributed there's a that gets pish The is supposed to be I'm switching it instead to you're the one that's going to be the you're getting the where's the going to be manifest? It's going to be manifest through your two children. Now what if I have more children? No, that's it. You're only getting the other children are says the words other children came out of the mouth of must be those other children say. But the bottom line is in terms of what's going on here in this second part of this par it's becoming the there's a big kasha on this and this is something that we've spoken about in the raid over the years and that is there's a love in the to do what just did what just did is one of the direct mitzvah it says in the if someone has two wives uh and the is from You're not allowed to decide one day that instead of the Ben being the Bkar, I want the Ben to be the Bkar. And it sounds like this is precisely to the tea what Yakavino did. It sounds like Yakov was disloyed to do it or not supposed to do it, right? He literally took the from and gave it to asks this right here the on this not for now. Here comes the third and maybe the most famous thing that Yakavinu tells Ysef during this final encounter and that is what's known as the Vani by the way the whole is one in hindsight [laughter] says when I was coming from heading to me my beloved wife she died in the land of on the and and we were not even that far away from arriving in Ephr in Ephros and I buried her on the road to Ephas which is B which of course is where IU is buried. So the next thing that Yakov tells Ysef is that you should know when we were coming from my wife died and I buried her on the side of the road. So a few things first of all why in the world did Yakin feel that he needed to tell this to Ysef and why now? to Rashi and Raan and all the say it's very simple says let's see it inside I'm being right now to take me to right that was the made right at the beginning of the par so you're probably wondering you're probably thinking in your head I don't understand practice what you preach you're asking me you have this big ask this big request Can you please carry me and take my corpse? It's not an easy thing to do. You didn't do this for my mother. I should do for you why you didn't do for my mother. It's that feeling, that sensitivity that has to be percolating in the mind. It's not going to say it. He didn't say it. But at the same time, Yakavinu knows that there's no way in the world that Ysef is not thinking it. And if that's the case, and if that's the case, Yakov who felt that this was something that he had a preempt. So skipping to the next says, [snorts] I didn't even bring into bring her into the land. It's a little bit of a hard rash. The Ramban asks, "What do you mean is buried in Erit's? She's buried in Eritskan. What does it mean? I didn't even bring her into yet maybe not into but the land of course he's buried in the land I know that you have feelings about this that the reason I did what I did was I wasn't calling the shots I was following orders wanted me to do this because needs to be buried on the side of the road so that one day she will be able to be an Ezra. She'll be able to help and to save her children because at some point in the future is going to send and the going to be in route to a bitter and they're going to pass this road where's buried and is going to go out on her caver. She's going to cry and she's going to like the says and is going to answer it. So is preempting what's going on in the mind of he says you're asking me to go ahead and do this. How come I didn't do the same thing? The reason I didn't do the same thing because strategically is buried on the side of the road because when the are going to go into the times of and the is going to answer adds one obvious to what we just mentioned and that is Ysef has tus Jacob is saying why because I understand you buried my mother on the side of the road why' you bury her on the side of the road now you're asking me to go ahead and take you and slept you from that's a huge trip you didn't do the same thing for my mother I should do the same thing for you besides she's mish buried on the side of the road it's not proper it's notic And Jacob over here at the end of his life explained himself and he said this is the this is all about the says the Ramb was a little bit deeper than that. The Tina was where does Yakov want to be buried? Jacob wants to be buried in the who was buried in the Ara and Sitkifa. And at that point, Leia was also buried in the Mars. Jacobu [snorts] had two primary wives, Rahul and Leia. And who does he want to be buried next to? He wants to be buried next to Leia. He doesn't want to be buried next to Raul. And by the way, Ysef now is going to have to take his father, bring him from all the way to Israel to bury him next to who? Not his mother. Bury him next to Leia. at something that requires some hisnatus. It requires an explanation. Jacob can tell to do it. Y is going to do it all day every day. But at the same time, he felt that required a little bit of an explanation. And he says the reason that is not buried in the is for a there's a special why she's buried there. I'm supposed to be buried in the asking you to bring me there. It's not because of a lack of sensitivity, a lack of love that I had towards my wife Rahul. Of course I want to be buried next to Raul. There's a why Raal has to be buried where she's buried. I for my part need to be buried where my family my was buried and as a result take me to the either way continuing along. So so far a few things happened right but there's a lot going on here. The first thing that Yakov told Ysef was about the he got the second time that he was in. Second thing was he just took the from Ruin and he transferred it over to the third thing was the number four [snorts] is saw the sons of he said who are they now he knew who was but he's very very very old he's literally lying on his deathbed love him told his father these are my sons that gave me what does it mean says Heraldo he showed Yakinu that the children that he had again Jakob is very old now. So he shows him you're talking they've had this conversation once before right but he shows him the fact that these children were born in a kosher way they were born so said bring them a little bit closer I want to give them a hard for them to see brought them close to him he kissed them and he hugged them the says something beautiful very profound found on this also a topic of rides in the past and that is the says that couldn't see. So because he couldn't see the boy so much. So therefore he says when somebody gives somebody a bra it's important that there be some physical touch some sort of physical connection to allow the to go and to be if Jacob could have seen a properly he would have looked at them and through his there would have been some or some connection and that's the way he would have imparted the but so therefore that was the way connected to them tells you says, "I have to be honest with you. I never dreamed that I would even see you again. And I was not only to see you, but I was to see your children and your grandchildren." How many Holocaust survivors had this heritage? [snorts] So Yakavinu just hugged and he kissed Ephraim and he's sitting on his bed right if you remember that's right at the beginning of this uh part of the para and presumably they're like in between his knees like they're very close to him. So removes them from within his knees and then out of respect bows down to And now takes his sons and he brings them back to Yakov. Now again, why is he bringing them to him? Because right that's what Jacob had requested. Jacob had requested I want to give them a he didn't give them the yet. What he did was he hugged them and he kissed them and he remarked but the itself he didn't give. So before the So Ysef goes and he takes them out, brings them back and manipulates exactly how they're standing. So what's this manipulation? So we all know this. He took Aphim, put him on his right. He's facing Israel. He's facing Yakov. So he would be to the left of Yakov. And then he took Manasha, put him on his left, he's facing Yakov. So he would be to the right of Yakov. And he brought them back. Some of them say that it sounds like from the PK that initially when Ary and Asha were in front of Yakov, they were in the reverse order. He hugged them, he kissed them, they were in the reverse order. And Yseph didn't want that Ephraim should be to the right of Yanasha to the left. He wanted it to be the other way around. So it's for that reason and then he brought them back. meaning if they were in the right order the first time he's taking them out he's bringing them back like what's this all about now could be the reason he took them out was he wanted to bow down he's not going to bow down to his kids he wants to bow out to his father out of respect he removes them and then he puts them in and now he's just being careful to make sure they're in the right order so it's not 100% clear in the but I've seen some learn it this way some learn it the other way the bottom line is now he puts them in the order where is to the right of which means to the left of Yakov. Manasha is to the left of Yseph which means he's to the right of Yakov. Now why did Ysef want them to be in this order? It's very simple because Manasha was the Bkarim was number two and right obviously this is the way it's supposed to be stating that Israel went and he took his right hand. He put it on the head of a fry who was to his left even though he was the younger one. He took his left hand and he put it on the head of who was to his right. He used he used with his hands. And the reason he had to do that was because manasha was the hence manasha was to his right but he didn't want his right hand to be on manasha. He wanted his right hand to be on a fry. Meaning if Mina was not thear then he could have just done it the regular way. He wouldn't have to be a but because on the right and he doesn't want his right hand to be wants to be on that forced him to be either way now goes and he gives a remember he said I want to give to the but he didn't give the to the kids he gave the who is the creator of the world whom my Father and worshiped. Who is taking care of me since I'm young? And this is the gives to We're going to get back to this. saw what had done how right he did a flipperoo with his hands and he was a little disturbed. He says what does it mean by literally means to support but what he did was he lifted Jacob's hand was so frail so he had supported in midair so he lifted first after he lifted right to remove it from the head of and he put it and then told his father right why why you doing maybe you think that I put them in the reverse order. No, I put them in the RIGHT ORDER. SO, YOU don't have to be a another says, "Oh, my tire son." I know. I know. As a matter of fact, I know that so too is going to be great. But his younger brother is going to be even greater than him. And his offspring are going to be very famous. And as a result, I see into the future I know that a fry is going to be greater than. And it's for that reason he has to get to I'm putting my right hand on a and that's why I'm putting my left hand on. What does it mean? Says I know there's going to be whose name is going to be is going to perform a great miracle through him. He's great. However, you know who's going to come from the younger brother of I saw in the shim makes the obvious and that is that was teaching us that Yeshua Benon who was more than Gdine who was the grace of Alus and that was the lesson that Yakabina was saying over here and Yakab was saying is going to have the land in the that was the either way then went and he gave them a he gave a to as well who on that day and what did he say that when someone's going to want to bench their children you now they're going to bench their children they're going to say And he placed the fry before. What does that mean? First you see that in the he says he went ahead and he went first. Then told I am about to die with you to return to I've given you an extra portion over your brothers. extra portion from this that I took from the how did I take it. So this P over here is also a little bit of a hard P. The way Rashi learns in one and this is also the is this is really of what already told and that is a that instead of being thear you're going to be thear what he's telling him is an extra tiling right you're getting an extra portion so everyone gets one portion but you get and because you get pishim you end up getting two portions two portions of what of its cananan two portions from this not that I took says but that from which I shall take who lives in the land of we're going to take it to in the times of so it sounds a little bit like he's giving us from something that he had already taken but it's really in the future tense that one day we're going to conquer and you're going to end up in an extra portion that's the you're going to get rash's that is referring to the city of And this was something that Jacob had already gotten afraid I don't understand wasn't involved in right who was involved in it where does get involved so says you see from here claimed the also got involved says it earlier in the parish as well but the bottom line is it must be that Jacob was somewhat involved that's I myself took We know the list is we have red bites on there not for now but either way this concludes we're already holding with mish moving along the first portion of paras. So let's first do a a super duper highle recap. So really begins with the very very end of of Yakabinu's life specifically Yakavinu's interactions with Ysef at the very very end of his life and it's divided into two groups. The first is the first forkim of the wherein gets to you should do with me. That's the first shorter part of this narrative. The next part is is that is told that Yakov is very very not well. It's already soak immediately takes his two sons and they tell Jacob that Yseph is coming. He uses his last strength that he has. He sits up on the bed and he starts talking to and he says first thing he tells him is that when I was in second time appeared to me and he told me which means that my offspring are going to one day inherit the the land of I want you to know that even though my beakar and as a result you're going to get a double portion in that land of the next thing he tells him is the he says you're probably wondering I'm going to make you now to take me to I didn't do the same thing for your mother and by the way I want to be buried next to Leia not next to it's with it was because the next thing he says is I want to give the kids a bring them a little bit closer to me and he says I want to give them a and he goes ahead and he gives a but First he gives a brother to Ysef and then afterwards he gives a to what was the he gave to it's the after he gives a he gives a to What's the that he gives them? I saw in the from he said that he remembers when he was a little boy. So the Tata the briskarov used to ask the kids questions on say [snorts] he said one of the questions that the briskov used to like to ask the kids is what was the gave and he said he expected us to always say and the chapter used to say that was the he gave was. So let's focus on the he gave. So first of all it doesn't sound like he's giving a tof right whatever these words even mean it sounds like he's giving a bra to right hence the trick question of but it sounds like this is a bra to it doesn't sound like it's a a to so all the say all the say that the truth is that the was to but is you want to give a to a father tell him he's going to have good children bench the kids you bench a father with good kids is so it's true it's a straight up for the children but at the same time that is penching his children is in other words he gave a to and he gave a to both are they're the subject of both but in this one is a to and the other one is a right it's nothing fancy that's clearly what's going on over here these are the two the two in the beginning now what does it So literally the words mean is calling out to the what do you mean the the the god that my father and my worshiped who's theim that's roy But Jacob doesn't even say anything about he just says he could have just said what doesn't say anything then the right he jumps from the but didn't say anything about so it's just not clear nothing fancy what exactly is going on over here additionally how do you understand those words, right? These are words that we know in our sleep literally. What does it mean? Jaku is suggesting that the Malik should bench the That's the ask. The Malik should bench. What are you talking about? The Malik, right? How many times have we spoken about the moral who didn't like because like you're talking to and you're it's not something that you're supposed to do who brings in a that his father didn't say it comes I think you're ready for a you don't ask a to give you a what do you mean sounds like he's doing the same thing how do you clap these over here if you take Take a look at the way the learns of these tubes and he said whom worshiped taken care of me from when I was born. It's a feeling now toem. So Jacob is being and now he's that the you've given me throughout my life to take care of me that that Malik that you always sent to me THAT MALIK should go and bestow should bench the but Jacob is not talking to the Malik is talking to it's a that you've always sent me send that and that should be so it's a the subject of the is the that's what the words say but it's not a request of the to bear it's a request of that should send the to go ahead and but you're not talking to the when you say it's you're talking to if you take a look at adds one beautiful line it's a short paragraph when started this he started by being of the relationship that they had And this is in the we always start mentioning the this is when the first thing we do is saying it's so starts the way every starts. That's so the three of us are mentioned the of the had to them that's how he starts his and what's that the he should be now this had a go this was the first raid by Jaku constantly has a malik we said over at the time from the briskov that the Reason we find has the Malik is because in the beginning of paran he had the special of and that's why that's why constantly has it's because he was the one that was we added that it could be and Gabriel and that's why he was took but the bottom line is one thing's for sure is the one that was distinguished. He had the Malik and what told was that the Malik should be what do the next words mean? So there's an important Ezra on this P that we're going to get toe. It got laid early. We're not going to have an opportunity to talk about it today. We're going to get into that. But if you take a look at the Raman, the Raman says, the Raman says that the was that your children should always be known as they should always be discernible as being they should always be different. All the gave the others that would be manifest through their offspring. My to you is that your children should be to this Indian. And finally, which literally means they should multiply. But just like the is not on them, they should be exempt from we spoke out in the we have a whole raid bite on these words different from the and different. But the bottom line is this was the So what was the was that his children should have the it should be and you go to you give a a little child you say it's helpful if we actually know what we're saying. This is the it's a that's how you start a you turn to the you say that this kid should have he should be to the should be a child that it should be on him should be nicker on him that he's a child of and multiply the incredible incredible this was the gave what was the he gave so that's easy was every Friday night every when parents give to their children. They say this was the it's a literally but just to end with one and that is that goes and he gives a to and what's the in and ask I don't understand that's not a to that's to and you see that wanted a bench that's so what's the so say like we mentioned already a few times is and you give a to a person's children, you essentially just gave him a because what does a parent want more that he should have from his children and as a result this would be to this is the could have given to says anotherish and we're going to end with this theor says says the says they once sat down and they ate a suda together and the says they had an exchange it's actually something that we're going to get to at the end of the parab when the suda was over and they got up to leave so turned tok and he told them says could you give me a turns to he told him you want a I'll give you a and I'll explain it to you but there was a person that was traveling in the desert he was hungry if he was tired and he was thirsty and all of a sudden he found a tree this tree had all the mileas in the world it had sweet fruit it had beautiful shade and it even had an there was a stream of water that was going underneath it. So this person who was so hungry and thirsty and exhausted, he sat down and he ate from the fruit. He drank from the water and he sat in it. When he was done eating and he rested up a little bit, he wanted to leave. So he turned to the tree and he said, "Elon, Elon, he said, I want to give you a I want to be what should I give you? Should I tell you that your fruit should be sweet? [snorts] I should give you a that you should have a beautiful shade. I should give you a I give you a my is that every branch everything THAT COMES FROM YOU YOU beautiful perfect tree you should be like you turned to and he told him you're asking me for a he said what kind of should I give you in I should give you A CALL. You're so wealthy. You have children too. My to you is that just like you have all these mileers, your offspring should have these mileas as well. So the said that wanted to give a to and he looked at he looked at he said he said what should I give you the look at these children that you have you have you have he says what kind of do you want me to give you he said the only I can give you My is that your children should be and through them you should have children [laughter] that people are going to say to give there was nothing to bench with the to said the was that gave in the bra was he said that's the only that I can give You.
