Shnayim Yomi - Vayeishev - R'vi'i - #4 - Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling - The King is Demoted

Shalom to the good morning or good night. This is at night. I'm just saying. All righty. So, we are holding Ravi over here and this is a long one. So, don't give up on this one. All right. You got to be strong. We got this. So, here we go. Yadic was sold off like we said yesterday. The brothers lost some of their respect for Yehuda because when they saw Yakov Aino in so much pain and he couldn't be he couldn't he he he just couldn't he couldn't listen to anybody. He was in so much pain they said we would have listened to Yehuda if you would have said to bring Ysef back to the father. So you now my friend are demoted. So he was demoted he was brought down and that's Yehuda. He went down. Okay. So now Yehuda leaves his family and he moves out of and he meets a friend whose name is Kira. By the way this is taking place in a place called Abdulam. He then marries the daughter of Shua and he has three children and Shayla. after they grow up. This is obviously happening in uh in a few years, but after they grow up a little bit, [snorts] he takes this woman, this hash of a lady called her name is Tamar as a wife for heir. Now he as we know if not take a look was bad. He was evil in the eyes of and he died punished him and he died. So Yehuda now tells that you're going to marry her this T throughum and like this you're going to keep up your older brother's uh name and as we know he's also not too good in the eyes of and he as well is killed by Hashem he dies. Now Yehuda not really understanding this or no one knowing you know behind the scenes. So he thinks that they're obviously dying because of Tar. Two of my sons my sons are dying because of T. I'm going to push off the yam of Tar to Shayla because I don't really want I don't want her to marry him. I don't want him to die too. So he says, uh, we're going to have to wait a Okay. Many years pass and now Yehuda's wife dies. Yehuda's wife dies. So after some time he's traveling to a place called Timna, which is a place that they're going to be taking care of the sheep. Once or twice a year they share all the wool. So he has to go travel to this place. Now Tar hears about this. So she decides that she's going to go. There's a lot over here with yam and different mashim. But she decides that she's going to go and she's going to cover herself up. So she shouldn't be recognized by him and she's going to sit at the crossroads, a place where where women sit. When Yehuda sees her, he thinks that she's a Zena. Now I just want to mention that before we speak about this relationship that's about to happen, we need to realize that this is something way beyond our understanding. And Msiah came from this union. This relationship between Yud and Tar Msiah comes from. So it's a little bit hard to understand. There's a lot a lot a lot going on over here, but if you have time, maybe look at some adjustment and stuff. But this is what happens. Anyway, she says, "Okay, you want to have a relationship? How you going to pay for it?" And he says, "I'm going to send a gadi. I'll send some uh like a goat or a sheep." And she says, "Okay, I need some collateral. I'm not going to wait for this to happen." Now, she was planning ahead cuz she knew that issue to become pregnant. She has to prove that it's a yuda, otherwise she's going to be in trouble. He said, "Okay." And he gives him a seal, a staff, and a cloak. Very interesting. These three things probably cost a lot more than a sheep and they're very personal to him. So this is all making things happen. Okay. She ends up becoming pregnant from the relationship and then Yehuda later on sends a goat but obviously they couldn't find her cuz she left and 3 months later what happened exactly what she thought's going to happen. She becomes pregnant and everybody sees and everybody assumes oh here she is. She's betraying the relationship between her and Shayla and now she's so she has to be burned. Yehuda gives up. They ask Yehuda, "What should we do?" He says, "Yeah, we have to kill her. We have to burn her." And then on the way to being burnt, being killed, she sends the three items and she says, "The one who owns these three things, the owner of these is the father of these children. Do what's right." And amazing. She didn't want to embarrass him. So, she didn't say straight out it was you. She said, "Whoever owns these three things, very, very deep what she did over here. Maybe one day we'll talk about it." Anyways, guess what? Yehuda without any hesitation publicly admits. Most people be like, "Oh, it wasn't me. Trust me, she's lying." He's like, "No, you're right. It was me." He stood up in a moment of truth. He stood up and he said many, "You know what? She's right. I was the problem here. And she's free to go." And from that relationship comes Perth, whom Mashiah comes from, and Zerak, keep strong. It's a long one, but you can do this. Have a wonderful day.
