Bo - 3rd Portion

Join me as we learn Chitas Chumash for Tuesday Parshas Boi, the third Torah reading, which is chapter 10, verse 24. Yesterday we read about the ninth plague of darkness, how it was split into two, three days of dark and regular another three days where they were not even able to move. And this was that the Jewish people should be able to scout the jewelry and gifts and wealth that the Egyptians had, as well as for those Jews that were not going to be leaving Egypt that they were dying and buried at the time. Today we continue with Pharaoh calling Moses and telling him that he can go after the plague of darkness, but again, how he refuses to let the Jewish people go. Verse 24. Pharaoh calls Mosha and he says to him, "Go and serve your God. But just only your flock and your cattle shall remain behind. This time he agrees. Last time he refused for the children to go. Now we are ready. Now even the children may go with you." What does the word mean? Rashi says will stay in its place. Verse 25. Rashi says, "No, no, no, that's not the way it's going to work. Not only are we going to take our flock, but you will be even providing us with flock." With sacrifices, and ascent offerings, and we will offer them to God. Rashi says, "Not only is it going to be enough that our cattle is going to come with us, but you will also be giving us from yours." Verse 26. As well as our livestock will come with us. Not a hoof will remain. Because we will take them all with us to serve God. And we do not know what that service may be and what would it entail. How we're going to be serving God until we arrive there. Rashi, Parsha, Parsha of a hoof of an animal. How difficult the work will be. Maybe he'll ask us for more sacrifices from what we own. Verse 27. Pharaoh hearing this disagrees. but God made Pharaoh's heart hard. Meaning he would refuse to let the Jewish people go. He was not willing to let the people leave. Verse 27. Verse 28. And Pharaoh said to Moses, "Leave my presence. Take care. I'm never to see my face again. For the day you will see my face, you will you will die." Verse 29. And Mosha said, "You have spoken correctly. You have spoken right. And that's only once I leave, once I leave, I will never see your face again." Rashi, you spoke well. You said the right thing. It's true. I'm not going to see you again. Verse one, chapter 11. We now begin about the 10th plague. Just at that moment, while Moses and Aaron were still standing in front of Pharaoh, because if you recall, Pharaoh said, "Don't come here again." So now Moses was telling the last warning to Pharaoh. And God says to Mosha while he's standing in front of Pharaoh, "There will be one more plague of the Egyptians upon Pharaoh and Egypt. Only then will he send the Jewish people." Because that means that from here he will send you forth. When he sends you forth, he will utterly drive you out of here. He will be willing and more than happy to get you out of there. Rashi, color, the word color means completely. He's going to let everybody go. Men, women, children, cattle, and everything else. Verse two. Please speak to the people. And let them request a man from his friend, a woman from her friend. Utensils of silver and utensils of gold. What is the word The terminology of here means a request, please. I ask of you. Warn them. I don't want that referring to Abraham. Because he's going to come along and say, "Look, you enslaved them. They suffered. But what about the last part of the prophecy?" But then you don't have that they went out with great wealth. Therefore, I'm telling you, please go and ask them because they're going to now get great get the great wealth from the Egyptians. As we continue to see in verse three, And God made the Egyptians regard the people very favorably. In the eyes of the Egyptians. Moses himself was considered in great esteem by the people of Egypt, in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of the people as well. Over here we see how God makes short to fulfill. Not only as we know that God's measure for good is even greater when it comes to punishing. And as the Jewish people collect and amass a great wealth. This concludes the third Torah reading for Parshas Boi.
