hello everyone in the previous episode we told you how ysep ordered the brothers to leave bamin with him as a slave because the Goblet was found in his bag Yehuda absolutely refused the Story begins with a very tense moment Yehuda approaches the Egyptian ruler who is actually ysep but the Brothers still don't know that he pleads with him to release Benyamin at a certain point Yehuda began speaking to ysep harshly even hinting that he wouldn't hesitate to kill him to free Benyamin Yehuda continued and told him how much their father Yakov loves Benyamin and that if Benyamin doesn't return Yakov might die of grief yosf asked Yehuda why are you speaking more than all the other brothers Yehuda explained that he is responsible for Benyamin ysep offered Yehuda money here take the money and fulfill your responsibility Yehuda replied and said I didn't commit for money I committed my life in this world and the next then Yehuda decided to offer himself to stay with ysep as a slave and release the rest of the brothers Yosef of course did not agree at this point a loud argument began between Yehuda and ysep which was accompanied by serious threats ysf realized that it was starting to get dangerous so maybe it was time to reveal himself to his brothers suddenly something happened ysep said to the brothers you told me that Benjamin's brother is dead right you lied because I bought him as a slave ysep called out ysep son of Yakov come to me when the brothers heard this they started looking around every corner of the room and again he said ysep Son of Yakov come to me they looked and saw nothing suddenly ysep stopped and said to them why are you looking around I am y your brother is my father still alive at that moment their souls left them and they immediately revived they were afraid that ysep would harm them so they wanted to attack him but then ysep called to them and said don't worry I love you and I'm not angry with you for selling me know that I did not sin and I stood up to the challenges I faced here ysep asks them to go back and tell Yakov that he is alive and that he is a ruler in Egypt therefore he cannot leave take these wagons and bring our father here if he doesn't believe you that I'm alive show him the wagon and remind him that the last time we parted we studied the section of egla arua the beheaded calf together but I have a request said ysep you're Now setting out on your journey so I ask that you don't argue about the fact that you sold me don't be afraid of robbers on the way because you are on a mission of a Mitzvah and you will not be harmed don't forget to study Torah on the way and when night falls stop and don't continue on your journey the brothers set out on their Journey the brothers didn't know how to tell Yakov that ysep was alive because he was old and might faint from such news they decided to do something they asked Sarah the daughter of Asher yakov's granddaughter to go and sing to him while he was praying to prepare him for the news sarak approached the place where Yakov was praying and saying ysep is in Egypt and born to him were manasha and Ephraim as soon as he finished praying the sons came and told Yakov the news Yakov didn't believe them so the brothers showed Yakov the wagons that Yosef had sent and reminded him of the section of the egla arua they studied before ysep left then yakov's mind was calm and at ease he asked to hurry and go meet ysep on the way to Egypt something interesting happened Yakov stopped in beeva to offer a sacrifice to Hashem for the good news and he stopped there specifically because his father yok had built an altar there after he offered the sacrifice he went to sleep then Hashem appeared to him and said I know you are afraid to go down to Egypt Don't Be Afraid at all I am with you and I will watch over you and your children you will be by your son yosef's side until the end of your days and I'll make sure you are buried in the land of Israel and not in Egypt in the morning Yakov continued on his way to Egypt when Yakov arrived in Egypt ysep went out to meet him in a magnificent Chariot when they finally met yoseph cried on yakov's neck and said father I love you but Yakov didn't say anything because at that moment he was reciting the verse sham Isel Hashem elu Hashem aad wow what greatness with all the tremendous longing he had he remembered Hashem first when he finished they hugged and cried such special moment after 22 years of separation the news that yosef's family was in Egypt reached parro's Palace Yosef explained to the brothers that they should say they are Shepherds because the Egyptians hate Shepherds and by this parro would allow them to live in the land of Goan a place separate from the Egyptians at that time ysep brings Yakov to parro to bless him the entrance to parro's Palace was low so that anyone entering would bow down but when Yakov arrived the ceiling Rose Yakov said to parro I want to be buried in the land of Israel if you tell me that you will allow my children to bury me in the land of Israel I will stay and if not I will leave parro agreed and then Yakov blessed that the famine would end and so it was while all this is happening Yosef continues to manage Egypt during the famine at first the Egyptians paid him money for food and when the money ran out they gave their livestock and finally they gave their lands to parro yosef's Brothers lived in the land of Goan they came down to Egypt as 70 people but now they are much more what happened right after and what
