Day Eleven
Bereshis 27: And it came to pass, that when Yitzchak was zaken
(old),and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esav bno
hagadol and said unto him, Beni: and he said unto him, Hineni.
2 And he said, Hinei now, I am old, I know not my yom mot:
3 Therefore take, now, thy kelim (weapons), thy quiver and thy
keshet (bow), and go out to the sadeh, and hunt me some wild game;
4 And make me matamim (savory meat, tasty food), such as I love,
and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my nefesh may make a brocha upon thee
before I die.
5 And Rivkah heard when Yitzchak spoke to Esav bno. And Esav
went to the sadeh to hunt for wild game, and to bring it
6 And Rivkah spoke unto Ya’akov her ben, saying, Hinei, I heard
avicha speak unto Esav achicha, saying,
7 Bring me wild game, and make me matamim, that I may eat, and
make a brocha upon thee before Hashem before my mot.
8 Now therefore, beni (my son), obey my kol (voice) according to
that which I command thee.
9 Go now to the tzon, and bring me from there two gedayei izzim
tovim (good kids of goats); and I will make them matamim for avicha, such as he
loveth:
10 And thou shalt bring it to avicha, that he may eat, and that
he may make a brocha upon thee before his mot.
11 And Ya’akov said to Rivkah immo, Look, Esav achi is an ish
sa’ir (hairy man), and I am an ish chalak (smooth man)
12 What if avi will touch me, and I shall seem to him as a
meta’te’a (mocker); and I shall bring a kelalah upon me, and not a brocha.
13 And immo said unto him, Upon me be thy kelalah, beni; only
obey my kol (voice), and go bring me them.
14 And he went, and got, and brought them to immo: and immo made
matamim, such as aviv loved.
15 And Rivkah took begadim of Esav her ben hagadol, the chamudot
(best ones) which were with her in the bais, and dressed Ya’akov her ben
hakatan;
16 And with orot gedayei haizzim (skins of the kids of the
goats) she dressed and covered his hands, and also upon the smooth of his
tzavar (neck);
17 And she gave the matamim and the lechem, which she had
prepared, into the yad Ya’akov her ben.
18 And he came unto aviv, and said, Avi; and he said, Hineni;
who art thou, beni?
19 And Ya’akov said unto aviv, I am Esav thy bechor; I have done
according as thou told me; arise, now, sit up and eat of my wild game, that thy
nefesh may make a brocha upon me.
20 And Yitzchak said unto bno, How is it that thou hast found it
so quickly, beni? And he said, Hashem Eloheicha worked it out for me.
21 And Yitzchak said unto Ya’akov, Come near, now, that I may
touch thee, beni, indeed, whether thou be beni Esav or not.
22 And Ya’akov went near unto Yitzchak aviv; and he touched him,
and said, The kol is kol Ya’akov, but the yadayim are the yedei Esav.
23 And he discerned him not, for his hands were se’irot, as
yedei Esav achiv; so he made a brocha upon him
24 And he said, Art thou indeed beni Esav? And he said, I am.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of the wild
game of beni, that my nefesh may make a brocha upon thee. And he brought it
near to him, and he did eat; and he brought him yayin and he drank.
26 And aviv Yitzchak said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me
beni.
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the reiach
(smell) of his begadim, and made a brocha upon him, and said, See, the reiach
of beni is as the reiach of a sadeh upon which Hashem hath made a brocha;
28 Therefore HaElohim give thee of the tal haShomayim, and the
fatness of ha’aretz, and plenty of dagan and tirosh;
29 Let people serve thee, and amim bow down to thee: be gevir
over thy achim, and let bnei immecha bow down to thee: arur be every one that
curseth thee, and baruch be he that blesseh thee.
30 And as soon as Yitzchak had completed making on Ya’akov a
brocha, and Ya’akov had hardly gone out from the presence of Yitzchak aviv,
that Esav achiv came in from his hunt.
31 And he also had prepared matamim, and brought it unto aviv
and said unto aviv, Let avi arise, and eat of the wild game of bno, that thy
nefesh may make a brocha upon me.
32 And Yitzchak aviv said unto him, Mi atah? (Who art thou?) And
he said, I am binecha, thy bechor Esav.
33 And Yitzchak trembled with charadah gedolah ad me’od
(exceedingly great trembling), and said, Who? Where is he that hath hunted wild
game, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all of it before thou camest, and
have made a brocha upon him? And indeed he shall be baruch (blessed)!
34 And when Esav heard the words of aviv, he cried with tzeakah
gedolah umarah ad me’od (a great and exceeding bitter cry), and said unto aviv,
Make a brocha on me, even me also, O avi.
35 And he said, Achicha came with mirmah (deceit), and hath
taken away thy brocha.
36 And he said, Is not he rightly called shmo Ya’akov? for
vaya’keveni (now he deceived/outwitted me) these two times he took away my
bechorah (birthright); and, hinei, now he hath taken away my brocha (blessing).
And he asked, Hast thou not reserved a brocha for me?
37 And Yitzchak answered and said unto Esav, See, I have made
him gevir over you, and all his achim have I given to him for avadim; and with
dagan and tirosh have I sustained him; and what shall I do now unto thee, beni?
38 And Esav said unto aviv, Hast thou but one brocha, avi? Make
a brocha on me, even me also, O avi. And Esav lifted up his kol (voice), and
wept.
39 And Yitzchak aviv answered and said unto him, Hinei, thy
moshav (dwelling) shall be the fatness of ha’aretz, and of the tal HaShomayim
from above;
40 And by thy cherev shalt thou live, and shalt serve achicha;
and it shall come to pass when thou shalt become restless, that thou shalt
break his ol (yoke) from off thy tzavar (neck).
41 And Esav hated Ya’akov because of the brocha wherewith aviv
made a brocha upon him: and Esav said in his lev, The yemei evel (days of
mourning) for avi are at hand; then will I slay Ya’akov achi.
42 And these words of Esav her ben hagadol were told to Rivkah;
and she sent and called Ya’akov her ben hakatan, and said unto him, Hinei, Esav
achicha, as touching thee, doth console himself, purposing to kill thee.
43 Now therefore, beni, shema bekoli (listen to my voice)!
Arise, flee thou to Lavan achi to Charan;
44 And tarry with him a few days, until chamat achicha subsides;
45 And when af achicha subsides from thee, and he forget that
which thou hast done to him; then I will send, and get thee from there. Why
should I be bereaved also of you both in yom echad (one day, the same day)?
46 And Rivkah said to Yitzchak, I am weary of my life because of
the Banot Chet: if Ya’akov take an isha of the Banot Chet (Hittite women) such
as these which are of the banot ha’aretz, what will chayyim to me be?
28: And Yitzchak called for Ya’akov, and blessed him, and
charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take an isha of the Banot
Kena’an.
2 Arise, go to Paddanah- Aram, to the bais Betuel avi immecha;
and take thee an isha from there of the banot Lavan achi immecha.
3 And El Shaddai bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and
multiply thee, that thou mayest be a kahal amim;
4 And give thee the birkat Avraham, to thee, and to thy zera
with thee; that thou mayest inherit the eretz wherein thou art a ger, which
Elohim gave unto Avraham.
5 And Yitzchak sent away Ya’akov; and he went to Padanah-Aram
unto Lavan ben Betuel the Aramean, achi Rivkah, em Ya’akov and Esav.
6 When Esav saw that Yitzchak had blessed Ya’akov, and sent him
away to Padanah-Aram, to take an isha for him from there; and that when he
blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take an isha of the
Banot Kena’an;
7 And that Ya’akov obeyed his av and his em, and went to
Padanah-Aram;
8 And Esav seeing that the Banot Kena’an pleased not Yitzchak
his av;
9 Then went Esav unto Yishmael, and took unto the nashim which
he had Machalat bat Yishmael ben Avraham, the achot of Nevayot, to be his wife.
[VAYETZE]
10 And Ya’akov went out from Beer-Sheva, and went toward Charan.
11 And he reached a certain place, and tarried there, because
the shemesh was set; and he took of the avanim of that place, and put them for
his pillow, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he had a chalom, and hinei a sullam (ladder, stairway)
set up on the ground, and the top of it reached to Shomayim: and hinei the
malachim of Elohim ascending and descending on it.
13 And, hinei, Hashem stood above it, and said, I am Hashem
Elohei Avraham thy av, and Elohei Yitzchak; ha’aretz whereon thou liest, to
thee will I give it, and to thy zera;
14 And thy zera shall be as the dust of ha’aretz, and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south;
and in thee and in thy zera shall kol hamishpochot haadamah be blessed.
15 And, hinei, I am with thee, and will be shomer over thee in
all places where thou goest, and will bring thee back into haadamah hazot; for
I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have promised thee.
16 And Ya’akov awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely
Hashem is in this place! And I had no da’as of it.
17 And he was afraid, and said, How nora (awesome) is this
place! This is none other than the Beis Elohim, and this is the Sha’ar
HaShomayim.
18 And Ya’akov rose up early in the boker, and took haeven (the
stone) that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a matzevah (pillar),
and poured shemen upon the top of it.
19 And he called the shem of that place Beit-El; but the shem of
that ir was called Luz at the first.
20 And Ya’akov vowed a neder (vow), saying, If Elohim will be
with me, and will be shomer over me in this derech (way, journey) that I go,
and will give me lechem to eat, and beged (clothes) to put on,
21 So that I return to bais avi in shalom; then shall Hashem be
for me Elohim (my G-d).
22 And this even (stone), which I have set for a matzevah
(pillar), shall be Beis Elohim: and of all that Thou shalt give me I will
surely give the aser (tenth) unto Thee.
Mattityahu 8:18 And when he saw the crowd around him, he gave
orders to go over to the other side.
19 A sofer (scribe, Torah teacher) approached Rebbe, Melech
HaMoshiach and said, Rebbe, I will follow you wherever you go.
20 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Foxes have holes
and the OPH HASHOMAYIM (birds of heaven, IYOV 35:11) have nests, but the Ben
HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14] does not have a place where he may lay his
head.
21 And another of Moshiach’s talmidim said to him, Adoneinu,
allow me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Follow me, and
permit the mesim (spiritually dead ones without hitkhadshut, spiritually
unregenerate ones) to bury their own mesim (deceased ones, niftarim).
23 And when he embarked into the sirah, Moshiach’s talmidim
followed him.
24 And hinei! a great storm came up on the lake, so that the
sirah (boat) was about to be covered by the waves. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach
was sleeping.
25 And Moshiach’s talmidim approached and woke him, saying,
Adoneinu, hoshieinu! We are perishing!
26 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Why are you
fearful, you ones of little emunah? Then, arising, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach
rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.
27 And the men were astonished, saying, What sort of man is
this!? That even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the other side of
the lake, in the land of the people of Gadara, he was met by two men possessed
by shedim (demons); these men were coming out of the kevarim (tombs) of the
burial caves and were so dangerous no one could pass by on that road.
29 And they screamed, saying, Mah lanu valach, Ben HaElohim?
(What to us and to you, Ben HaElohim? T.N. i.e., What business do you have with
us, Ben HaElohim) Have you come here to torture us before the time [of the Yom
HaDin, the Day of Judgment]?
30 Now there was feeding far away from them a large herd of
chazirim (swine).
31 And the shedim begged him, saying, If you cast us out, send
us into the herd of chazirim.
32 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Go away! So the
shedim, coming out, went away into the chazirim. And, hinei, all the herd of
chazirim rushed down the bank into the lake, and they perished in the water.
33 And the herdsmen of the chazirim fled, and, having gone away
into the town, they told the whole story of what had happened to the men
possessed by shedim.
34 And hinei! The whole town came out to meet Rebbe, Melech
HaMoshiach. And seeing him, they begged him to depart from their area.
