Vayeishev - 5th Portion

Join me as we learn kitas for Thursday the fifth Torah reading of paras. Yesterday's kitas was a little uh what took a little side turn telling us about Yehuda's life and we continue today to go back to Yoseph and what's going on with Yoseph as he is in Egypt. Chapter 39. The Ysef Ysef was taken down to Egypt. And the one that bought him was the chief of the butchers, the servant of Pharaohim. He was a prominent in Egypt prominent Egyptian who was in charge, the chief of the butchers. The he bought him from the hands of the Israelites that brought him down there. We're now returning to where we started, but we interrupted to tell us about the downfall of Yehudam where he was taken from his shun by his brothers to the selling of Yseph to tell you that because of Yoseph he was demoted from his leadership. And also to tell us to just suppose the two the story of and the story of to tell you just like this one Tamar was for the sake of heaven that she wanted to bring the children the offsprings of Yehuda so too had in mind for the sake of heaven because wife saw with astrology ology that Yseph was going to bring children from her the she wasn't sure if the children were going to come from her immater and God was with Yseph and he became a very successful man and he lived in the house of his Egypian Master verse three and his master saw that God is with him and everything he does God makes him success in everything he did. Verse three that everything he does had his boss know that he was everything he did God was with him. He would always say God's name and it was verse four and gained favor with him and he served him and he became his attendant and he put him in charge of his household and everything that he owned he put in his career. This is a shortened verse [snorts] that everything that he had he gave to him to be in charge. Verse five ever since he put him in charge of everything in his home and everything that he had and God blessed the Egyptian household because of Yseph's merit and he had the blessing of God and everything that he did in the house and in the field I'm sorry we continue into verse six And he left everything he had and he did not know and he didn't concern himself with anything that was going on besides the bread that he eats. And Yseph was a beautiful facial form and complexion. Verse six. He couldn't care less. He didn't pay attention to it. Besides the bread, in this case, the bread does not mean literal bread. This means his wife. The Torah speaks in a respectful, clean language and therefore only alludes to it and does not say it in a clear way. This continues to what he said before because Yseph saw himself as a leader and the one in charge in his boss's home. of eating, drinking, and combing is here. God said to him, "Your father's in mourning." And you're busy beautifying yourself. This is not a way to act when your father is mourning for you. Feel this pain. I will bring the beer on you, roar on you. meaning that the daughter the wife of Potifer Miyad that's what we see the story of Potifer in the next Torah reading comes to seduce him and he gets in trouble and thrown into the prison. This concludes the fifth Torah reading of Harshes Via.
