Parshat Vaeira: The Weekly Parsha Story Illustrated by AI

[Music] hello everyone in the previous episode we talked about how parrow increased the workload on the Jewish people and mosha asked Hashem why are you doing this to them in this week's Torah portion Hashem answers Moshe and tells him I promise the forefathers Abraham yak and Yakov that I will bring the Jews to the land of Israel Hashem asked Moshe to go to parro again Moshe said Master of the Universe how can I go to him I stutter Hashem replied to him you grew up in paro's house and he knows you as for Aaron the Jewish Nation know him because he was with them for 60 years when you were not go together and Aaron will be your spokesperson at that time Moshe was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 Hashem told them that if parro asks for a sign to know that they were sent by Hashem take a staff Aaron will throw it on the ground and it will turn into a snake Moshe and Aaron went to the palace and entered without permission wild and predatory animals awaited them but instead of attacking they sat quietly kings that were in the palace at the time took off their crowns when they saw Moshe and Aaron parro asked what do you want who sent you Hashem sent us show me a miracle said perro Aaron threw the staff on the ground and it immediately turned into a snake parro was not alarmed and asked his wife to throw throw a stick on the ground and it also turned into a snake children who were in The Palace did the same it's important to note that they used magic to turn the sticks into snakes everyone laughed at Aaron but at that moment the snakes turned back into sticks and Aaron's staff swallowed them all parro the wicked said I don't believe in your Miracles and therefore I'm not willing to release the Jewish people Hashem said now is the time to begin the 10 plagues parro would start his day by going to the river and every time he reached to the river the waters would rise to greet him just as Yakov had blessed him Moshe was commanded to warn parro about the plague so it was morning came Moshe and Aaron went out to meet perrow Aaron hit the riverbank immediately the water turned into blood in an instant not the color of blood but actual blood wow what a smell there was all the fish died the Egyptians had no water to drink there was only regular water in parro's Palace because he paid a lot of money to the Jews the plague lasted 7 Days Every Egyptian who wanted to drink had to go and buy water from the Jews only then could they drink clear water despite the hardship parro did not relent Hashem decided to move on to the plague of frogs Aron stood by the river and suddenly a big frog emerged from it the Egyptians tried to kill it but every time they Struck it more frogs came out of it wow what's Happening Here the Egyptians didn't understand the frogs were attacking stinging and biting they even went into their stomachs and croaked loudly there was such a loud noise in Egypt phoh received the biggest frogs on the sixth day perrow called mosan Aaron and said Moshe please pray for the plague to stop immediately and I will let you go to offer sacrifices to God Moshe went out of Egypt and prayed to Hashem and in an instant all the frogs in Egypt died what a smell there was when perrow saw this he decided I will not let you go immediately Hashem moved on to the third plague the plague of lice Aaron struck the ground of Egypt with his staff and from it lice began to emerge not the gentle lice we know but biting and stinging lice both big and small but The Magicians who tried to perform magic and create lice ran to parro and said to him parro this isn't Magic it's real let the Jews go parro the wicked did not agree Hashem moved on to the next plague the plague of wild animals in an instant Hashem brought all the beasts of the forest into the streets of Egypt Bears Lions Tigers elephants who didn't show up there the animals began to Devour the Egyptians who were outside parrow began shouting Moshe and Aaron come quickly but he was afraid to go outside everyone who heard him shouting echoed after him Moshe and Aaron come quickly when Moshe and Aaron arrived he said to them go offer sacrifices to your God Moshe left the city to pray and in an instant the animals were gone but Wicked parrow refused to release the Jewish people at this stage Hashem decided to move on to the fifth plague the plague of pestilence Moshe warned parrow that anyone who doesn't bring their livestock indoors will have them die in an instant why did Moshe announce this because Hashem is merciful he has compassion for Humanity and so it was in an instant all the livestock and animals of the Egyptians that were outside the house died wow what's Happening Here parrow sent Messengers to the land of Goan where the Jews lived to check if the livestock had died there as well The Messengers returned and said there is one Jew whose livestock also died but he wasn't a Jew rather he was married to a Jewish woman named schlomit baty he was Egyptian and she was Jewish terrible parro decided not to release them and from here we move on to the sixth plague the plague of boils Hashem commanded mosha to take fine white ash called soot and throw it into the sky and so he did the ash spread throughout the land of Egypt and caused boils among the Egyptians boils these are very unpleasant Soares with a lot of pus and they are painful and itchy they scratched each other's sores parrow almost gave in but Hashem hardened his heart to repay him for all his wickedness and moved on to the seventh plague the plague of hail huge hail Stones combined with fire it fell all over Egypt and everywhere the hail fell a great fire ignited even though fire and water don't usually get along in this plague they made peace with each other hi Paro was terrified and decided to release the Jewish people he called Moshe and Aaron and begged them to pray for the end of the plague and so it was did Peril release the Jewish people and what happened next we'll tell you in the next episode and
