THE TORAH
GENESIS
BEREISHIT
The book of Bereishit (also known as Genesis) is the first book of the Torah. It begins with the creation of the world by G-d in six days. After creating the earth, G-d brings forth Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first humans are quickly banished from the garden after breaking G-d’s commandment and eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The lineage of humanity is established as the book chronicles the descendants of Adam and Eve. The narrative follows the lives of well-known figures such as Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The book explores themes of human nature, morality, and faith, as well as the relationship between G-d and humanity. The book ends with the descendants of Abraham settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the following book in the Torah, Exodus.
Chapter 45
Genesis Chapter 45
You get discouraged, disappointed and frustrated
When things do not go your way
Only until you will see the entire picture that you would thank G-d who is behind the scene in the course of your lifetime
*The best key move is to be persistent in trusting, hoping and praying to Hashem who hears the prayer of the righteous. Those who seek Him all the days of his life in truth; not falsehood – worshiping other gods (the son & or 3-in-1) that He never commanded.
“Joseph Identifies Himself”
“Pharaoh Welcomes His Family”
“Jacob Receives the News”
He cried in a loud voice. Egypt heard, and Pharaoh’s household heard. And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. …
45:2-3
… And he said, “I am Joseph your brother – it is me, whom you sold into Egypt.
:4
And now, be not distressed, nor reproach yourselves for having sold me here, for it was to be a provider that God sent me ahead of you.
:5
And now: It was not you who sent me here, but God; He has made me father to Pharaoh, master of his entire household, and ruler throughout the entire land of Egypt.
:8
… God has made me master of all Egypt. …
:9
And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive,” and that he is ruler over all the land of Egypt; but his heart rejected it, for he could not believe them.
:26
And Israel said, “How great! My son Joseph still lives. I shall go and see him before I die.”
:28
1 Now Joseph could not bear all those standing beside him, and he called out, “Take everyone away from me!” So no one stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 And he wept out loud, so the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” but his brothers could not answer him because they were startled by his presence.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me,” and they drew closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 But now do not be sad, and let it not trouble you that you sold me here, for it was to preserve life that God sent me before you.
6 For already two years of famine [have passed] in the midst of the land, and [for] another five years, there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 And God sent me before you to make for you a remnant in the land, and to preserve [it] for you for a great deliverance.
8 And now, you did not send me here, but God, and He made me a father to Pharaoh, a lord over all his household, and a ruler over the entire land of Egypt.
9 Hasten and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘So said your son, Joseph: “God has made me a lord over all the Egyptians. Come down to me, do not tarry.
10 And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children and your grandchildren, and your flocks and your cattle and all that is yours.
11 And I will sustain you there for there are still five years of famine lest you become impoverished, you and your household and all that is yours.” ‘
12 And behold, your eyes see, as well as the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth speaking to you.
13 And you shall tell my father [of] all my honor in Egypt and all that you have seen, and you shall hasten and bring my father down here.”
14 And he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and afterwards his brothers spoke with him.
16 And the voice was heard [in] Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come!” And it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this load up your beasts and go, enter the land of Canaan.
18 And take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and [you will] eat the fat of the land.’
19 And you [Joseph] have been commanded [to tell them], ‘Do this: take yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and for your wives, and you shall carry your father and come.
20 And let your eye not be concerned about your utensils, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ “
21 And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons by Pharaoh’s orders, and he gave them provisions for the way.
22 He gave them all, to each one [several] changes of clothes, and to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces of] silver and five changes of clothes.
23 And to his father he sent the following: ten he donkeys carrying of the best of Egypt, and ten she donkeys carrying grain, bread, and [other] food, for his father for the way.
24 And he sent off his brothers, and they went, and he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way.”
25 So they went up from Egypt, and they came to the land of Canaan, to their father, Jacob.
26 And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive,” and [they told him] that he ruled over the entire land of Egypt, and his heart changed, for he did not believe them.
27 And they told him all of Joseph’s words that he had said to them, and he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, and the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.
28 And Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
