paros Reon you know the para opens up by
telling us that when Kel came down to
MIM there were 70 people yet now yose
passes away and after that colesterol
starts to grow exponentially Rashi
points out that every single Jewish
woman that gave birth gave birth to six
babies at a time and the go on and
say that now had a new king now the gar
tells us this was Aus between ra and SCH
whether it was actually a new king or
whether it was the same old King with
new decrees but either way this King was
no fan of the Jews at all and he sees
that they're growing to be so big he
starts getting worried that they're
going to overthrow us they're going to
wage war against us they're going to be
such a big nation so he says the famous
words let us act wisely with them and
Rashi says what does that mean that
means that they knew that Hashem had
said at one point in time that there
would not be a flood again so they said
let us try to kill the Jews through
water and since Hashem can't make a
flood hashem's not going to get us back
obviously what they didn't realize was
that Hashem said that he will no longer
bring a flood upon the entire world but
against one nation of course he still
would and they start their Affliction by
placing taxes on the Jews making them
build cities like piso and rames the
storage cities for parro but then cherol
still keeps on growing and they're
getting angrier and angrier so parro
says that he has to Haren up the decrees
so at this point in time he makes the
labor even worse he's given them hard
work to do in the field with mortar and
with bricks backbreaking labor but parro
sees that they continue to grow so he
says I got to make this even worse for
them so he starts giving them tons and
tons of backbreaking Labor making this a
much worse situation at this point in
time parro says to The Midwives shifra
and Pua who we know are and Miriam that
now any time there's a Jewish baby boy
that is born you got to kill him right
away as soon at child birth right then
you have to kill him if it's a Jewish
girl let her live but a boy kill him and
Rashi points out the reason is because
the astrologers knew that a baby boy was
going to be born that's going to save
the Jews and we have to get rid of him
yeah we know of course that Y and Miriam
didn't listen and they spared the lives
of all of these baby
