Chayei Sara - 7th Portion

Join me as we learn together for the seventh day of parishes. Shabas parishes may be for a speed of recovery of a ben gilka. Yesterday we learned how Ara passed away and buried him. Now that we mentioned Yeshal and we saw that Yeshal repented at the end of the life of Ara, the Torah tells us about the lineage and the line of Yesh 12 chapter 25. The Aah tells us Ishmael these are the children of Yeshal the son of Ara Hagar Hamitus whom she was given birth to the who who the hagar who was who was born to Hagar the Egyptian chief Kasar the maid servant of Sarah Ara to Abraham verse 13 these are the names of the children of their names in the order that they were born. The first born of wasab and verse for 13 the order of their birth one after the other. Verse 14. Verse 15. Verse 16. These are the names of Ishmael's sons. These are the names that were given to them in their open towns and in their strongholds. They were 12 chieftains to for their nations. What does it mean? Rashi says as follows open cities that don't have a wall. that there's open break up and praise. Open up and praise. Verse 17. This is the life of the years of 100 years and 30 years. Which is a total of 137 years. Gathered to his people. He breath his last and gathered to his people. Verse 17, what is it telling us about the years? Why does it tell us about the years of so Rashi tells us brings a says why were the years of counted in order to make them important and that we should be able to calculate the years of to know the years of because when we learn about the life of we then can understand of because from the calculation of the years of we can then learn that Jacob learned Torah in the house of Shaman for 14 years when he left his father before he came to love because that's when he went to before he went to when left his father that's when died as we read in the verse later on in chapter 28 that went So when we know that as went to migill as it's discussed at the end of the tractor of migillah in the first chapter of migilla. So what we see over here is that the reason why the Torah tells us the count and the years of is so that we should be able to know the years of Jacob and understand the lifetime of Jacob and calculated accordingly. Verse 18. And they dwelt in the area between which borders Egypt towards Assyria called. He dwelt throughout all the area of all his descendants. Rashi before. Why does it only say generally is only said by righteous people? Generally the word vayva and he breath his last was only said by righteous people and this teaches us that ishm repented at the end of his days and he became in verse 18 what does the word mean he rested like we find in other places meaning what does it mean they fell in that that's where they lived over here he uses a terminology which means full but later on I'm sorry earlier by in verse 16 he says actually until a died he uses a terminology which which means a settlement of permanence however once a dies he uses a terminology of nafal which tells us that they they were demoted from their greatness and they were no longer a great entity. This concludes the seventh Torah reading of parasur.
