Vayechi: Torah 12
Manage episode 392077980 series 3297090
We conclude the opening book of the Torah, Genesis. This portion focuses on the life of Jacob in Egypt with his beloved son Joseph. Yet, in a touch moment of blessing, Jacob blesses and adopts the sons of Joseph in order to give them, and Joseph himself, a future hope. Then Joseph, as the day of his death approaches, uses a phrase that will appear in the calling of Moses, and, according to Rashi, serves as a code word of sorts to the elders of Israel. What does it mean when God "attends to"? What is being signaled by this phrase? We will consider this, and much more, in this episode of Messiah in Life.
References: Genesis 50:24-25; Exodus 3:16-18; Genesis 21:1-2; Jeremiah 1:12; Hebrews 11:1; 13.
