Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston: Lessons for Redemption from Yosef to his Brothers

[Music] welcome everybody who are watching us now on this recording as well as those who are live on skype and book hashem we have a live audience so here we go we are in part in chapter 45 of genesis parashat the gosh and we're going to deal ultimately one of the main themes for tonight are the secrets the truths behind our ability to be redeemed yes joseph conveyed to his brothers at the very beginning of this long 210 year exile in egypt what it is the kept the jews or will keep the jews jewish will keep israel in let's say marching orders in order to leave egypt and eventually go up to the land of israel which i think is so relevant especially today because we are still in an exile maybe not the egyptian exile but for sure the roman exile any exile what they did what he conveyed to them to do is what we should do in order to ensure and make sure that we are to be redeemed okay so let us begin in chapter 45 verse 3. it says and joseph said to his brothers i am joseph is my father still alive okay he now is introducing himself he's letting them know guess what i'm yosef for all the times right the last couple chapters they had no idea that this was joseph they knew it was the viceroy the second in command to faro giving them a really hard time accusing them of being spies taking them hostage perhaps even slaves now he reveals that he is joseph the question here that the clear car is bothered by wants to address is the fact that he says is my father still alive now why should that bother us the reader because all you have to do is go back to chapter 43 and it says in 43 verse 27 and 28 he inquired after their welfare and he said to them is your elderly father whom you mentioned well is he still alive and you know they answered him and they said your servant our father is well he is still alive and they bowed and prostrated themselves so what's going on here in our verse in chapter 45 is the question that he asks well guess what they already told him that he's alive right our father is still alive well that was the question they answered yes he's still alive so why they asking why is joseph then asking a second time his father is our father still alive and he doesn't say i i kind of gave it away because it doesn't say our father he says is my father still alive what is what's the difference what if he asks is my father still alive or is our father still alive let's find out so let's go to the clear car once again and start off is my father still alive so the clear car says even though they already said that he's alive can move on me called yehuda if you read the narrative according to the words of yudha for sure he's alive has nevertheless what was joseph thinking we were going to enter the mind of joseph why did he ask this question a second time is my father still alive lie on arcane perhaps he said this in order to what kadeshi lomisa joseph was thinking maybe yehuda said this in order to arouse an emotion within within yosef to have rachmanu to have some mercy on benyamin and not kill binyamin now are you guys following what's going on here we're going into jose's mind that that perhaps joseph what was thinking that what was the purpose and reason for yehuda to say yes he's still alive because as long as he's still alive and there is as we're going to see he specifically says there's a strong connection between the father who's still alive and this his son binyamon who's now going to be brought down to egypt and perhaps even taken the slave maybe even killed who knows so yours is thinking maybe he did that as a manipulation to trick me uh just as an example if you want to go well he says keep the nap show kishora benefit because his soul in yemen's soul is connected is very well connected to his father's soul and god forbid he should be killed look as an example in genesis chapter 43 verse 30. and joseph hastened for his mercy was stirred towards his brothers in the hebrew rock we see already back then that right after the statement was maybe still alive he had some uh mercy and some rahmanut look in 44 30 10 what do you call a chapter later and now when i come to your servant my father and the boy is not with us since his soul is attached to his boy's soul the nafshu kashura banav sho so we see there was a comment already there's a strong connection between binyamin and yakov and so joseph thought perhaps he only said that so i shall break him and not kill bin yaman but i don't know the truth is he's still alive or not perhaps he was manipulating me okay alkane she loves that's why he asked him a second time od avihai is my father still alive now with him yada the the brothers could not even imagine such a thing that what what were they thinking instead of they were they were thinking that joseph was not asking in truth that he wanted to know if their father was still alive or not ela nam sorry this is already now where the present tense in our chapter 45 verse 3 that he was trying to remind them of their sin the sin of what we call machi ratios joseph the sale of yosef this was a we're still carrying this around until this very day in fact cleo car explains that cena the true um we call it the causeless hatred actually came into the world at this time as well not just on tisha love at the time of despise okay but here this is a tragedy for the jewish people and he was perhaps reminding them of their sin and now we understand that's why it says is my father still alive that what he says it's my father what does he say the lord he's not your father that doesn't mean you're not brothers and you didn't all come from his seat but what it means is sorrow you had no pity you had no concern about the pain of your father as if he's not your father yes it's like he's remind for them they took it harshly when he says is my father still alive because we didn't really treat him properly as a father that's not what you do to a father to cause him such pain alkane is hollow that's why they were in shock they were in such a state of not knowing what to say and they couldn't respond they stayed murmish dead silent so to speak they had no idea how to respond to such a statement is my father still alive just so you can see it just go back to the whole verse 45 verse 3 right joseph said to his brothers i am joseph he says is my father is still alive and what does the rest of the verse say but his brothers could not answer because they were startled right they were in absolute confusion before him in front of him okay let's go home with the clear car the second paragraph on the first page there's another reason for this confusion or this confoundment or let's call it shock lefisha umar because he said ani yosef now in our verse he doesn't say your brother later on and i'm not much later i think it's the next verse we'll see surely he says i am yosef your brother but in our verse he doesn't say i'm your brother he just says i'm joseph what's the big deal i mean after 22 years they sold him off that you would expect him to say i'm joseph your brother he says i'm yosef it's only afterwards he says i'm joseph your brother what's the difference this is what really startled them the very fact that he did not say i'm your brother shamrock right there and then they were when he called fear seized them and overtook them because you know what they said to themselves perhaps he is going to be seeking out to be our enemy our arch enemy and take vengeance to be avenger on what take vengeance on what it happened the hasil as that he the word i think the word is to be removed the word literally he see i mean to move on but he moved on from brotherly love he removed himself from this aspect of brotherly love remember the original question why doesn't he introduce himself as joseph your brother that that's not included so they of course would think perhaps that he's seeking out to be their enemy and he removed himself you know how you know what happens in human psychology what you do what you're guilty of what people are guilty of they pin on other people and this is exactly what they were guilty of removing themselves from brotherly love because they wanted to kill him let's see what the clear car has to say cashier also hey melo this is exactly what they did to him so they figured this must be what he's trying to do to them i'll read again kaiser asuhame they remove themselves from this brotherly love like rashi explains in chapter 37 verse 17. this is when joseph went down to find them remember yaakov sent him go check on your brothers and he ran into a man the man said they have traveled away from here now in the english i beg you learn hebrew just take the risk just sink your teeth in a little bit right learn a little bit of hebrew the hebrew it says they traveled from here but the same word is we're we're talking about that they removed themselves from this that's better way to exp to translate it right they traveled away from this look what rashi says they traveled away from here they removed themselves from brotherhood and it says they sought to kill him they were looking for legal arguments in order to as like a court would do uh seek a death penalty for him okay so the rest of the verse just to read it so he said i overheard them say let's go to dothan so joseph went after his brothers and found them in this place called dosan fine so as the cleokar says regarding this verse nasumize this is why he then says in verse four remember when verse three only introduced himself as a yosef but in verse four he says who is your brother but wait once you introduce yourself as joseph your brother you would think that would be a loving thing uh like a um let's say uh you have nothing to fear because i'm your brother wait to hear the rest of the verse who you sold me to egypt now that's like putting uh like adding insult to injury although we started off by saying your brother but the end of the the latter part of the verse does not sound very nice it sounds like it's rebuke right remember me your brother you sold to egypt now we're gonna learn a little bit about egypt and that's going to bring us into the secrets that i mentioned earlier about how to get redeemed even though this is what joseph is conveying to them you know i get it you sold me but why the egypt right at the least you could have done was sold me to a like to the to the swiss alps right or to the riviera right or somewhere you know a little bit more decent you know you could have sent me you could have sold me somewhere else that is not so sexually impure some place that is not so and decrepit some because this is what these words mean means they were sexually perverse you sold me to like the worst place in the world when it comes to sexual perversion and nevertheless i am your brother and then he first continued right as the verse had continued to say verse 5 right genesis 45 5 but now do not be sad and let it not trouble that you sold me here okay don't be don't be angry at yourselves that you sold me here he's assuring them that everything was by the hand of god that trust me it wasn't nice it wasn't right but in the end you're going to see what happened see don't be so upset with yourself you saw me to egypt specifically he ultimately it was god that sent me here in order to preserve your life in order to keep you guys alive as we all well know that he was able to interpret the dreams and eventually he became like let's say an earpiece to pharaoh and pharaoh liked his interpretation and unfortunately wasn't such a good you know interpretation but let's say there were seven years of famine seven years of of good and plenty and so he made this uh suggestion sorry the other way around that during the seven years of plenty they should save up for the seven years of famine that would follow and that was a great idea okay and that's what kept them alive because after two years of even in eretz israel eric's canaan it was if the famine hit took its effect and they had to come down looking for food so ultimately it was joseph's i'm going to say it's really the brothers the psalms to egypt that ultimately brought about their own salvation because he was able to feed them however the super um metaphysical understanding we don't we haven't yet arrived wait to hear this ki ani this is how i see it meaning this is in joseph's mind how joseph sees the whole sequence of events s circumstances presented themselves one thing led to another to another to another shabbat bench that i ended up here in egypt that is such a decrepit and perverse place the coralie mikra the asia's potiphar and i ended up being harassed almost raped right sexually harassed by mrs potiphar but guess what i did shakabashti s yatri but i was able to control my inclination the ayud now through my abilities of controlling my evil inclination and not um you know come coming into this situation israel i ended up being a leader a shepherd amongst the jewish people amongst israel zana mcfarney's providing food and other welfare money commotion mr now this is a very interesting verse this we find later by um by the blessings that yaakov is giving his children and specifically the bracha that was giving to joseph you'll find this in genesis 49 24. it says but his bow was strongly established it's crazy and the latter part of the verse is me sean rohit evan israel so i want to just concentrate on this verse a little bit this is the blessing that yaakov is giving to joseph specifically and he's saying but his bow was strongly established now this was going and what does that mean so basically it's like this i don't know how much of this i want to read i just want to give over the idea that it says in proverbs 29 3 but he who keeps company with harlists wastes his riches okay very important verse so if you are sexually perverse you will become poor and this verse that his bow bow is where is something that the arrows shoot out from i want you to use your imagination something in which the arrows shoot out from if you're holding your bow tightly and you're not allowing your urges to shoot these arrows so then this is part of the blessing that joseph was being praised by yaakov for not involving himself with sexual immorality there's another verse it's in in proverbs 6 26 it says for on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread which means that he is not able to find a loaf of bread he is so he becomes so poor that he will not even be able to afford a loaf of bread but the idea in hebrew says he won't even find loaf of bread so i don't know if he has money or not but he will feel she will feel the impoverished imagine not being able to find even a loaf of bread just on number 10 where it says talmud sota 4b the idea here is that anyone who engage in sexual intercourse with a harlot will eventually be reduced to poverty and beg people for a loaf of bread that's the bottom line of everything i didn't read to you so what so we have to see the opposite the opposite means that if you're able to be like joseph and hold yourself back so then you'll be enriched ah like we just said if you give in to your evil inclination sexually deprived sec you know impoverished so to speak you're not being a living leading a moral life it will lead you to poverty or on the other hand that if you're able to control yourself it should lead you in the opposite direction as a zone or may farnese and at least satisfied with what you have now there's another just another point because the end of the verse says israel he becomes an evan a a stone a rock now we just keep in mind that the word evan a rock is actually a combination of two words ah and ben okay so the rabbis agree to this in gamora sota so i want to take you to gamora sota for a second in uh four b okay we actually read that already however there's a little bit um it says like this so the war actually says if anybody comes and has sexual relations with a married woman obviously not his wife someone else's wife lesophage in the end he will seek out a bread a loaf of bread the anal might say and he will not find what is his message to his brothers if i had not been brought down to egypt that is so perverse perhaps a different person would have been chosen in order to fix or take care of those lean years the years of famine but after the fact that it already occurred to me that right all these happenstances happened to me that you sold me to such a perverse place such as egypt nobody else would have been able to fix the situation except for me therefore ultimately the sale which brought me down to egypt garmali that's what actually caused me this is what how it all came about that i was a preserver of life that i was able to keep you guys alive because hashem set me before you you understand that in our own lives we could only imagine when we think that bad things happen when things that are not going so smooth and not so right we're not as expected guess what it's on the hands of hashem and something good will come out of it hashem always creates the antidote before the makkah he always creates he always creates the solution before the problem and there's always something good that's ultimately something good for us and for amish that's going to come out of it okay we should keep that in mind and that's one of the lessons that joseph taught us the next paragraph because i'll teach us in belay now i'm going to actually read it for you to you it's only three lines it's 9311. rivier lieser ben azaria said whoa lanu miyoma did what do we know about joseph the righteous sadiq [Music] they were not able to stand they had nothing to answer to his rebuke what is rebuke anyway it's proof proof that you could do something a better way okay when god when we think about the holy one blessed be he who is the ultimate judge and the bowed in he's going to be the prosecutor the yoshi bhakti said in and he's sitting on his throne of judgment and he's judging each and every one of us how much more so shane of how much is it that when we're shown imagine try to imagine right i imagine i imagine that 100 years ago 50 years ago it would be very hard to imagine what i'm about to tell you that your whole life is going to be shown to you on a video this is what you did you could not stand there in the night you can't say excuse me i wasn't there right that wasn't me we're talking about akarijbaraku showing you your life one video yeah what can you say what can you say now today because of such a thing called a video a recorder right we can imagine that it's a very real possibility but guess what this is what ghazal taught us thousands of years ago already that when you go to before the the judgment there's going to be these angels that you created yourself the eight the fact that you did a certain action whether it's a positive action you created good angels defending angels or whether god forbid you did a negative action which created we'll call them demons or negative angels prosecuting angels the very fact that they exist they didn't just poof out of nowhere you created them and they're you're either defending um agents or they're prosecuting agents they don't even happen to have to open their mouths the fact that they exist they're standing in the courtroom that tells the whole story and your whole story is shown to you this is what we've already been told and how are you going to react probably with busha that that shame that you feel believe it or not is a great part of the tikkun process that's part of what we call gehenna right the day of judgment experiencing the shame that we uh the god forbid that we created for ourselves that shame should be taken into account and then a big way towards the atonement okay so let's go on all we did was read the first paragraph the first line in that paragraph as it said embrace it that the shock that the brothers were in when joseph revealed himself and of course said you know i'm afterwards second verse i'm your brother you sold egypt that they had nothing to respond actually in the first verse right in the first four they couldn't even respond and we should understand we should take as a lesson on this great day of judgment for ourselves like rebbe lieser said voila what was that on the day of judgement of woest us on the day of rebuke um what did joseph do when he said to his brothers so they were not able to answer him or respond at all he maybe didn't when god stands in judgment allah how much more so now as proof text just a few ideas that the clear car brings down is in isaiah chapter 10 verse 3 it says and what will you do for the day of visitation the day of when i say visitation we're talking about a an intimate encounter with hashem this is um look at rashi says for the day of visitation but the whole woman blessed me he visits upon you your iniquities this is called the day of judgment rule as the clear card continues what were the brothers thinking she joseph he's kira vonnam that joseph was reminding them of their sin direction as we're about to explain what will a man do on such a day a day of judgment kia pacquiao matano he will be judged regarding everything all of his thoughts all of his actions when he was sitting when he was doing business as it says in job 37 7 by the hand of every man he seals sealing like as a khatimat look at the hebrew kibiyad khal what we do our deeds seal our fate okay that's what i'm talking about man okay by the hand of every man he seals so that every man should know his deeds i still hope we should produce bumper stickers that say all deeds matter right i know i i talked about this years ago and apparently maybe you would still sell and people wouldn't ruin your car because of the statement all deeds matter but anyway let's go on there's another verse he wants us to see and that you can find in jeremiah chapter 2 verse 20 23 and the verse says go see your way i'm just the highlighted part and know what you have done you have to know what you did so this is all according to what we talked about torah review us that if that the brothers were in shock kadesha hamaskeel so that the person who is spiritually awake like that word awoke who's someone who's woke someone who is spiritually intelligently um awake yeeten alibo will place upon his heart will pay attention to that future day that awful dreaded day of personal judgment little mode in order to learn home it's one of the 13 harmonical principles as i like to say exit jesus exegesis so this is one of the 13 harmonica principles of the kawahara means a if this is true this how much more that must be true so if it's true by joseph but the brothers how much it must be true by okay now we're approaching the next verse so you'll find this this is genesis 15 verse 4 see joseph then said to his brothers please come closer to me and they drew closer what in the world is he asking them to draw closer to first so first of all we already discussed the idea that they were in shock and embarrassed and they must have been inching away right isn't that the natural instinct so you would inch away so he's actually trying to calm them down and bring them closer now what does he say come close and they did but the the clear car says and it's remember he's not making anything up he never does it's always from khazal and you'll see in rashi shortly haralam he actually wanted them to come close to show them that he was circumcised i know this sounds very strange but we already discussed the idea that when you took an oath right even today you will put your hand on a bible right we already saw a few times where the fathers asked one of someone to come close but uh wrong with elliott eliezer right we saw other times that to put your hand on the bible they didn't have the bible to put your hand on my thigh right next to the the the circumcision as if that is a holy object not as if but it is okay so he wanted to show them that he was circumcised why in the world what in the world would he want and gain by showing them that he was circumcised that you know what he wanted the clear car is going to tell us he wanted to laharu's sid kato he wanted to show them how righteous he was why should that prove that you're righteous what he was telling there was a message that i didn't fool around with all these harlots and prostitutes and known uh you know what's known to be in egypt the looseness the perversity right i didn't engage i wasn't engaged you know sexually with a non-jewish woman okay shay bane should do feizim of hello niksha barrios that he was telling them that i'm here in egypt a place that is so um disgusting and polluted with sexual immorality and yet i did not involve myself i kept i kept myself righteous i don't want to go too much into this gamora but in meseka's arabic it says basically it's like this that in the future when we all get judged avraham is going to come and save us from adam right because we're his children and he's a great defender but one of the ideas is that if god forbid a jewish man was intimate with a non-jewish woman that um that abraham would not save that person now this is without true of course there's always truva many balichuva exists in this world however this idea of somehow that the orla the the foreskin would somehow be covered over meaning cover over the rest of the member that you couldn't tell the person was circumcised and this would be a physical we're talking about a metaphysical world so it's really hard to imagine what's going on but that somehow avram would miss it because the person would look uncircumcised and if it looks uncircumcised then it would not be someone that he would pull out of gehenna anyway let's go on mitsina what do we find out what comes out from this she is this is going to be the main message and this is what joseph is teaching the children of israel and he is giving them a lesson okay not about the future redemption you want to get out of egypt i'm telling you these four things make sure to do these four things and i think it's all relevant in our lives as well the the jewish people after 210 years right we did not change our names the jews left egypt with the same names they came down ruth and shem the same names we went down with we came up with we didn't change our names and they didn't change the language it's very interesting because the cleo car wants to say that both hand in hand you couldn't have one without the other because the whole idea that the names themselves have meaning and the meaning has to do with gaoula so i'll give you an example so like routine so it says what verse in exodus chapter 3 verse 7 it says that i have surely seen the affliction of my people hashem redeemed us because of this the word in hebrew is right rule thing the idea is i don't have the hebrew in front of me to go through all the verses so i'm just going to go through it in english but so routine has to do with veru having seen so god actually redeemed us because he himself saw and this name that was given to ruvain was already um it was first of a jewish name and it has meaning that hashem would redeem us because he would see the affliction of his people it says in exodus chapter 2 verse 24 and god heard their groaning god was interested in you know because the jewish people were groaning so god heard and that's what shimon shimon is related to ishmael to hearing and lady in zechariah chapter 2 verse 15 many nations will join themselves to the lord on that day it's not about a future redemption idea and the hebrew obviously is related to uh the word levi uh yehuda is in isaiah chapter 12 verse 12 verse one right it's a it's in isaiah 12 1. so it says about yehuda you will say on that day i will thank you o lord for you were angry with me but now your wrath has subsided and you comforted me again future redemption even yehuda so the truth is this is in yoga money partial and you can go through all 12 names and how they all relate so they kept not only their name but also their language in other words they go hand in hand the third thing lawyers they did not speak uh derogatory about each other right this is an important lesson that we need to learn but this is one of the reasons that they were redeemed now i want to mention we're going to talk about this specifically how you yosef got this message across but also there's another shot and the clear car explains that the very fact that a year before they were redeemed meaning 11 months before they redeemed when the first the plague started okay they already knew they were going to leave without great wealth and they didn't tell the egyptians and so later on in the ninth plague when they actually seek out and know where all the stuff's hidden the ninth plague is a plague of darkness when they're able to walk around for three days and see where everything was hidden so that on the night of the tenth plague when they're about to leave they can go and take the stuff from the egyptians because each one was asked to go and ask from their neighbors for their riches that if just imagine if one jew would have revealed to the non-jews you know i don't know within the next year we're leaving with all your stuff they might have hit it better or they wouldn't have been able to find it on the the night of the three days of darkness right they would have maybe hit it out of town who knows what but this is also an idea that they didn't speak la shanhara meaning they weren't malshading they weren't traitors they weren't turning in the they weren't turning in jews or they weren't revealing to the the gentile authorities what the truth was and the fourth thing is and that was what we already basically covered that they were not involved sexually uh with the non-jews who are perverse with each other the thomas sheldon pasha and he explains the reason over there in exodus which we already kind of talked about in the yoga chamoni kane khan so too here sherlock joseph he sought after them he wanted to bring them down very nice ho dilem and and once they came down he informed them the aids is in what merit you will end up leaving from here if you do this and keep these ideas you will merit to eventually go out and back to eretz israel to earth's canaan the the rum zulem are ball elu and he actually hinted in the verses we're gonna see how he hinted to them within these verses of these four uh traits of sheila shalem the coulomb now joseph was perfect in all then and he said right shimoshi no shimo how do we know not changing your name is very important what's the very first thing he says need your safe i am joseph who's joseph the samuel said that you sold i'm still that same joseph by hebrew call me my name charlemagne yo says alpha peace courage me you know the parrot changed his name where do we see that we see that and in genesis 41 45 pharaoh named joseph right i just have to say in hebrew because it's hard to read the transliteration okay that's what the name pharaoh gave to joseph but joseph didn't go by that name he went by pharaoh he went by yosef and they didn't change their language we see a few examples but the first thing is in verse 12 chapter 45 verse 12 when he's speaking to benyamin and behold your eyes see as well as the eyes of my brother binyamin that is is my mouth that is speaking to you as it says in hebrew do i have this right kipi hamidah bear allahab it's my mouth that's speaking to you my mouth is speaking to you in hebrew lashona kodesh i should say and what else they weren't parus they weren't um breaking through the fence meaning they weren't breaking they didn't break down in terms of sexual immorality as it says goshu eli as we said when he says come close to me and he showed him that he was circumcised harold schumacher now what about the russian horror part how do we know what what message how do we know that joseph was telling them don't speak lashing hara because you know what he did he said gosh you're alive come close to me yeshua like he didn't want that binyamin his brother would hear about his cell you know bunyamin was not involved in the cell only 10 of the brothers were involved in the salvinia was not killer that's why he said come close to me by doing that he was hitting to them this is going to help you be redeemed in the future the law of the vlog even his father nothing was told to meaning yaakov now if it would have been revealed to yaakov this is very confusing because there's a verse if i'm not mistaken look in genesis chapter 50 verse 17. this is what the brothers are saying that yaakov said in other words it's a narrative they're basically saying you know before father died this is what he said so you shall say to joseph please forgive now your brothers transgressions and their sin for they did evil to you now forgive the transgression of the servants of the god of your father now joseph swept when he went when they spoke to him but rashi tells us that look at the bottom your father commanded they altered the facts for the sake of peace and jai and and yaakov gave no such command since he did not suspect joseph so the brothers made that up when they said dad by the way dad said you know after he died right uh dad said before he died that you should forgive us for the sale so we know that he didn't but if he would have so ramazlem yosef basically joseph was hinting for rama's yosef was hinting to them then basically ultimately this was for our benefit because in the brit bayna batarim that would be in genesis chapter 15 13 where god says that again that your seed will be strangers in a for 400 years that basically on account of the sin of the sale that increased that pushed forward that didn't hold back the 400 years can you just imagine if everything was fine because yaakov was looking for shalva and that would have been a bad thing and hashem created the sale that would make yaakov not have peace and comfort he was troubled for those 22 years that god forbid we would have been in egypt an additional 22 years because that 400 years would have been put on hold i hope you're following me there was an obligation of paying up the 400 years of being wanderers not settling down and yet yaakov sought to settle down and the raj zusha yosef jumped upon him as we spoke about in the past this sale of yosef meaning it's it's quite complicated to explain at such a short period of time but the uh this all this sin of the selling of yosef actually moved forward and didn't hold back those 400 years that we just spoke about in the brits bane of atari in chapter 50 verse 17. oh no sorry uh that is in i said it's in chapter 15 verse 13. as it also says commotion is he also said to them in chapter 44 verse now don't be sad don't um how do we see this here he said to them and let it not trouble the trouble you that you sold me here right the atta right now now the hebrew word the hebrew says so right now you shouldn't trouble you but in the future you should be troubled and it will trouble you here and there right in the moment he was hinting to them about the future redemption but the variable magula all these things that i'm telling you now is going to cause your redemption right what do we have not changing the name not changing the language what else do we have not speaking bad against your brother and not involving yourself in sexual immorality the yeshua re some also say the word now it shouldn't bother you ram is lasara harugi we have as we know on yom kippur and we hint to it certainly on teacher of about the the ten holy martyrs okay that um they all realize they don't live at the same time but they all realize that there's something very um let's say from heaven like a message from heaven and they wanted to know whether they should fight and hide like some of the people in the past like shimba yokai went to a cave right if the evil government comes against you you have to know is it time to fight or to submit so they were all sentenced at some point and they want to know you can break out of jail you could call favors from the government what should we do and a a message came from heaven basically that this is a atonement this is going to serve towards the betterment to the jewish people because of the sale of joseph there were 10 holy martyrs they were reincarnated from the 10 and the 10 brothers in order to serve partly as an atonement for what had taken place here it's on the page it's on the back of page six number 25. we have a list here if you want to know ruby schmidt is since you asked i don't know if i would have remembered them all but i have it written down um just to keep an idea they all live during the mishnah period and they were all martyred by the roman empire and shortly after destruction of the temple you can find this in midrash and anyway so i want to just end off with one other idea and that is about the story of who joseph's wife was who is the the mother of menasha nafran so we know her name is osnot and we know she's the daughter of potiphar potiphara the um the clergyman what do you call it the coin of of own right very mystical uh perhaps either worshiping pagan all right so how can that be how can all this come about so either there's two ways that bring it down either she was a convert and this is a great thing okay and many of our greatest mothers so many ruth i mean go through it you know so many of our greatest heroines are are our converts themselves that's one idea that she was a convert because hacking joseph who's claiming i didn't mess around with non-jewish women marry oh snot who was obviously what obviously an egyptian well guess what not necessarily so so that's one idea the other idea is that no remember when dina was raped by shreem well she got pregnant and this daughter is a snot okay and yaakov was afraid for her life because shim and the levy they would they already killed that shem maybe they're going to kill this young baby and not give it a chance so he sent her all the way to egypt and okay it's a lot of details of the story i'm not going to go into it i'm not going to go into it let me just finish okay so and on a certain hand joseph who is unbelievable can you imagine the off that's made he find you know yaakov according to this opinion that if yaakov sent her down he put a gold plate on her neck uh necklace and it told the whole story and it was that and even the um the people that found her you know um polti perhaps this is what caused them to do chuva did this child they couldn't have a child and this child was given to them and it came from the great people they recognized this they came from the land of kanan from the children of abraham and isaac and jacob right and who else when they realize who joseph is meaning he's also a hebrew from the same family and it's actually now we understand it's his niece he marries his niece which is not a problem okay and uh it's just like it's an unbelievable story because how does joseph see himself as everything is in the hand of god all the events that come about even those most negative events are ultimately for the good even if we can just only imagine which is really hard to do that such a horrible experience such as a rape and an unwanted pregnancy and all that came down and ends up being okay there's also another whole story and that is with joseph and dina themselves that who gave birth to dina leia who gave birth to yosef rahel so the gamora tells us the tradition is that believe it or not leia found out she was going to have a boy and her sister was going to have a girl well what did i just say so she prayed and there was a transf i don't know what the word is a transference of actual fetuses and there and what happened after she prayed that she got dina leia got dina and gave birth to dina and joseph was born to rahel on another level they were actually twins every everyone was every one of the 12 tribes was born with a twin who they married joseph was not with a twin there was a separation there was whatever however this came about that leia gave birth to bertadina that yak that rahul gave birth to joseph with no twin ultimately how all everything transpired he ends up marrying his the daughter of his twin which okay so i hope i didn't lose anybody in that i i beg you to do your own study but what we do is see is and we should have faith and a muna right that if we do what god told us to do right by keeping these things ultimately this will bring about the true redemption so mizrat hashem will all learn our lessons will be be redeemed very soon we'll see the incoming of the exile the gathering of the exiles as we'll see in the halftorah haskell is talking about the the the two sticks one with name of yehuda the other name of joseph and it's all going to come together frying and so i'm going to come together and we'll have the in gathering with the exiles the rebuilding of the temple the coming of mashiach whatever order comes that i'm happy with right i didn't say the right of it doesn't matter but hashem will all come about in our lifetime been remaining and i wish everyone to charge along and a meaningful fast on the tenth of [Music]
