These are the names of the sons of Isra’el who came into Egypt with Ya‘akov; each man came with his household: 2 Re’uven, Shim‘on, Levi, Y’hudah, 3 Yissakhar, Z’vulun, Binyamin, 4 Dan, Naftali, Gad and Asher. 5 All told, there were seventy descendants of Ya‘akov; Yosef was already in Egypt. 7 The descendants of Isra’el were fruitful, increased abundantly, multiplied and grew very powerful; the land became filled with them. 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind. שָׁמַר shamar: To keep, guard, observe, give heed, Joseph 17 years of conflict…17 years time restored with YaAkov. …2000 and 1600 BCE.

He knew nothing about Yosef 9 but said to his people, “Look, the descendants of Isra’el have become a people too numerous and powerful for us. Nehemia is joined by Jake Hilton of The Sword of YHVH Ministries to examine a little-discussed political and religious movement gaining traction among America’s youth. Together, they explore its troubling parallels to interwar Germany and evaluate, through a biblical lens, the falsehoods it promotes. https://www.nehemiaswall.com/nick-fuentes-serpent-seed-doctrine 23 Sometime during those many years the king of Egypt died, but the people of Isra’el still groaned under the yoke of slavery, and they cried out, and their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. 11 Moshe said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and lead the people of Isra’el out of Egypt?” Your sign that I have sent you will be that when you have led the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” “Here is what to say to the people of Isra’el: ‘Ehyeh [I Am or I Will Be] has sent me to you.’” 15 God said further to Moshe, “Say this to the people of Isra’el: ‘Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [Adonai], the God of your fathers, the God of Avraham, the God of Yitz’chak and the God of Ya‘akov, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever; this is how I am to be remembered generation after generation. let us go three days’ journey into the desert; so that we can sacrifice to Adonai our God.’ 19 I know that the king of Egypt will not let you leave unless he is forced to do so. 20 But I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders that I will do there. After that, he will let you go. 21 Moreover, I will make the Egyptians so well-disposed toward this people that when you go, you won’t go empty-handed. 22 Rather, all the women will ask their neighbors and house guests for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, with which you will dress your own sons and daughters. In this way you will plunder the Egyptians.” Moses give God every possible reason why the people won't believe him. “What is that in your hand?” and he said, “A staff. God gave him 3 instruments to show them by sign. “Please, Lord, send someone else. 17 Now take this staff (not a staff, this staff)in your hand, because you need it to perform the signs.”Moshe took God’s staff in his hand. God told Moses the last plague he would perform before he even executed the first plague. “When you get back to Egypt, make sure that you do before Pharaoh every one of the wonders I have enabled you to do. Nevertheless, I am going to make him hardhearted, and he will refuse to let the people go. 22 Then you are to tell Pharaoh: ‘Adonai says, “Isra’el is my firstborn son. 23 I have told you to let my son go in order to worship me, but you have refused to let him go. Well, then, I will kill your firstborn son!”’”Moshe performed the signs for the people to see. 31 The people believed; when they heard that Adonai had remembered the people of Isra’el and seen how they were oppressed, they bowed their heads and worshipped.

A Summary review of the book of Genesis. A review of the history of the building we're in, its origin, the people, carrying on the vision. What is Beit Torah? Always seeking the truth. As we are about to complete Genesis in this Parshah, I’d like to step back and see the forrest for the trees and review the key elements that are core truths characterizing our journey of understanding the Creator of the universe, the Grand Architect! Genesis 1:1, Psalm 82, Psalm 89:5-7, Deuteronomy 32:8-9, Genesis 1:27 The two single most important elements of truth characterizing creation that we must constantly be mindful of are what? Adam was a son of Elohim formed of the dust of the earth, was Cain or Abel? Gods DNA. Sarah baring a child at 90?- is He capable? A virgin birth? The first Adam, did he fail? was there to be a second Adam to succeed him? The 9 righteous men…Prophetic message circumcised hearts. Noah a righteous man walked wholeheartedly Avraham cut covenant" refers to the biblical ceremony in Genesis 15 where God established a lasting promise (covenant) with Abraham (Avraham) Revealing His nature and Character:His many names Avraham, Issac Jacob, Moses illustration of HaShem working with , individuals, intimacy, families.

Deuteronomy 18:18 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I order him. 19 Whoever doesn’t listen to my words, which he will speak in my name, will have to account for himself to me. As we enter into Sh’Mot we God expanding the enlightenment of Him relating to a nation. Establishing the 613 Mitzvoth Can you simplify the meaning of the Torah in one word? In Gematria, the number 17 holds significance related to "glory" (kbd), "life" (chai/tov), and spiritual perfection or awakening, often linked to the divine name YHVH (sometimes calculated as 1+5+6+5=17) and the Hebrew word for "goodness" (tov = 17). It symbolizes victory and divine order, combining the completeness of 10 with the perfection of 7, appearing in significant biblical contexts like the Flood's start and end, and symbolizing spiritual journeys or immaturity in figures like Joseph and Rehoboam. In essence, 17 in Gematria often points to divine manifestations, spiritual growth, and significant life transitions, balancing perfection (7) with divine order (10).

Pharaoh had a dream, Egypt. Was there a time when Egypt was seeking worshipping and knowing the God of Israel? These were the Ancient Days. Looking back at history and viewing events from 2025. We only know 20% of the details of history, not all provable. Joseph recognized God as the source, not himself. 15 Pharaoh said to Yosef, “I had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it; but I’ve heard it said about you that when you hear a dream, you can interpret it.” 16  Yosef answered Pharaoh, “It isn’t in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer that will set his mind at peace.” He was a shadow of Yeshua. John 5:19 Therefore, Yeshua said this to them: “Yes, indeed! I tell you that the Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does, the Son does too. 38 Pharaoh said to his officials, “Can we find anyone else like him? The Spirit of God lives in him!” 7 Yosef saw his brothers and recognized them; but he acted toward them as if he were a stranger and spoke harshly with them. He asked them, “Where are you from?” They answered, “From the land of Kena‘an to buy food.” 8 So Yosef recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him. 21 They said to each other, “We are in fact guilty concerning our brother. He was in distress and pleaded with us; we saw it and wouldn’t listen. That’s why this distress has come upon us now.” 22 Re’uven answered them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t wrong the boy’? But you wouldn’t hear of it. Now comes the reckoning for his blood!” 50 Two sons were born to Yosef before the year of famine came; Osnat the daughter of Poti-Fera priest of On bore them to him. 51 Yosef called the firstborn M’nasheh [causing to forget], “Because God has caused me to forget all the troubles I suffered at the hands of my family.” 52 The second he called Efrayim [fruit], “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my misfortune.” Why an Egyptian pagan or was she? 21  Adonai will make himself known to Egypt;on that day, the Egyptians will know Adonai.They will worship him with sacrifices and offerings,they will make vows to Adonai and keep them. 22  Yet Adonai will strike Egypt, both striking and healing,so they will return to Adonai.He will listen to their prayers,and he will heal them. 23  On that day there will be a highwayfrom Egypt to Ashur.Ashur will come to Egypt and Egypt to Ashur,and Egypt will worship with Ashur. 24  On that day Isra’el will be a third partnerwith Egypt and Ashur, a blessing here on earth; 25  for Adonai-Tzva’ot has blessed him:“Blessed be Egypt my people,Ashur the work of my handsand Isra’el my heritage.” 10 He told his father too, as well as his brothers, but his father rebuked him: “What is this dream you have had? Do you really expect me, your mother and your brothers to come and prostrate ourselves before you on the ground?” 11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind. You don’t know what you don’t know Deuteronomy 19:15 “One witness alone will not be sufficient to convict a person of any offense or sin of any kind; the matter will be established only if there are two or three witnesses testifying against him. hearsay | ˈhirˌsā | noun information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor: according to hearsay, Bob had managed to break his arm.

The issues that arise throughout this parasha illustrate how Yehovah is intimately involved in our lives, from Avraham and Sarah a couple to a small nuclear size family at first like Jacob & Esau to a large family of Jacob. Sibling rivalry, jealousy, hatred, murder, envy, lies, defrauding, selling out your own brother. Judah's disobedience in marrying a Canaan women, preserving the line of the David and the Moshiach. Tamars righteousness greater than that of Judah. Genesis, a psychologists reference guide for understanding humankind's dysfunction and how Yehovah has not dealt with us according to our sins(transgressions. The Law(Torah) is a task master, keeping us in line, but where there is love there is no law. He's weaving His mercy, grace and compassion in and through our lives to restore us. Throughout the journey we are being healed, restored and made new. We live and breath and have our being in Him

(6) The messengers returned to Ya‘akov saying, “We went to your brother ‘Esav, and he is coming to meet you; with him are four hundred men.” 8 (7) Ya‘akov became greatly afraid and distressed. 2 Timothy 1:7 7 For God gave us a Spirit who produces not timidity, but power, love and self-discipline. CJB For God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power ,love and a sound mind. NKJV (9) Then Ya‘akov said, “God of my father Avraham and God of my father Yitz’chak, Adonai, who told me, ‘Return to your country and your kinsmen, and I will do you good’: 11 (10) I’m not worthy of all the love and faithfulness you have shown your servant, since I crossed the Yarden with only my staff. But now I have become two camps. 12 (11) Please! Rescue me from my brother ‘Esav! I’m afraid of him, afraid he’ll come and attack me, without regard for mothers or children. 13 (12) You said, ‘I will certainly do you good and make your descendants as numerous as the grains of sand by the sea, which are so many they can’t be counted.’” (23) He took them and sent them across the stream, then sent his possessions across; 25 (24) and Ya‘akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak. 26 (25) When he saw that he did not defeat Ya‘akov, he struck Ya‘akov’s hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him. 27 (26) The man said, “Let me go, because it’s daybreak.” But Ya‘akov replied, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.” 28 (27)  The man asked, “What is your name?” and he answered, “Ya‘akov.” 29 (28) Then the man said, “From now on, you will no longer be called Ya‘akov, but Isra’el; because you have shown your strength to both God and men and have prevailed.” 30 (29) Ya‘akov asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he answered, “Why are you asking about my name?” and blessed him there. (iii) 31 (30) Ya‘akov called the place P’ni-El [face of God], “Because I have seen God face to face, yet my life is spared.” 32 (31) As the sun rose upon him he went on past P’ni-El, limping at the hip. 33 (32) This is why, to this day, the people of Isra’el do not eat the thigh muscle that passes along the hip socket — because the man struck Ya‘akov’s hip at its socket. Who are we wrestling with? Who is Israel wrestling with? Who are the descendants of Esau wrestling with? 3 Then he himself passed on ahead of them and prostrated himself on the ground seven times before approaching his brother. 4  20 There he put up an altar, which he called El-Elohei-Yisra’el [God, the God of Isra’el]. He declared this day Irrefutably, unequivocally who his God was. ‘Esav ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around his neck and kissed him; and they wept.

Dreams, Angels ascending and descending, one of the ways God speaks to us, he prepares us for what's ahead, he reveals himself to us. keep a dream journal, place it on the shelf allow God to bring it into the forefront of your life, it will, if its from Him. Dreams can come from the dark side as well. Time will prove its origin. It set the course for Jacob’s life and personal relationship with Yehovah.

Yitz’chak prayed to Adonai on behalf of his wife. Adonai heeded his prayer. Rivkah became pregnant. There are two nations in your womb, two rival peoples. One will be stronger than the other, the older will serve the younger.” Then his brother emerged, with his hand holding ‘Esav’s heel, so he was called Ya‘akov [he catches by the heel, he supplants]. Yitz’chak was sixty years old when she bore them. 27 The boys grew; and ‘Esav became a skillful hunter, an outdoorsman; while Ya‘akov was a quiet man who stayed in the tents. ‘Esav came in from the open country, exhausted, 30 and said to Ya‘akov, “Please! Let me gulp down some of that red stuff — that red stuff! I’m exhausted!” (This is why he was called Edom [red].) 31 Ya‘akov answered, “First sell me your rights as the firstborn.” 32  “Look, I’m about to die!” said ‘Esav. “What use to me are my rights as the firstborn?” Can we become so caught up in the conquests of our own desires that we lose sight of the value of what is important to Yehovah? A famine came over the land, not the same as the first famine, which had taken place when Avraham was alive. What does a famine interpretively represent in Yitzak’s life? Conditions in the physical realm play a role in Yehovah directing our lives. 2 Adonai appeared to him “Don’t go down into Egypt, but live where I tell you. 3 Stay in this land, and I will be with you and bless you, because I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants.  All this is because Avraham heeded what I said and did what I told him to do — he followed my mitzvot, my regulations and my teachings.”  The men of the place asked him about his wife, and out of fear he said, “She is my sister.” He thought, “If I tell them she’s my wife, they might kill me in order to take Rivkah. The sins of the fathers and the mothers are passed down to the third and 4th generation, Exodus 34:5-8 Yitz’chak planted crops in that land and reaped that year a hundred times as much as he had sowed. He saw, understood and obeyed what Yehovah had revealed, instructed him and Yehovah blessed him 26 Then Avimelekh went to him from G’rar with his friend Achuzat and Pikhol the commander of his army. 27 Yitz’chak said to them, “Why have you come to me, even though you were unfriendly to me and sent me away?” “We saw very clearly that Adonai has been with you; we have not caused you offense but have done you nothing but good and sent you on your way in peace. Now you are blessed by Adonai.’” Proverbs 16:7 When a man’s ways please Adonai, he makes even the man’s enemies be at peace with him. Hebrew 11:20/ Hebrews 12:14-17/ Romans 9:6-14

Free will, 8 But if the woman is unwilling to follow you, then you are released from your obligation under my oath. ten of his master’s camels. The Prayer: 12 He said, “Adonai, God of my master Avraham, please let me succeed today; and show your grace to my master Avraham. 13 Here I am, standing by the spring, as the daughters of the townsfolk come out to draw water. 14 I will say to one of the girls, ‘Please lower your jug, so that I can drink.’ The If Prayer: If she answers, ‘Yes, drink; and I will water your camels as well,’ then let her be the one you intend for your servant Yitz’chak. This is how I will know that you have shown grace to my master.” She went down to the spring, filled her jug and came up. 17 The servant ran to meet her(Rivkah) and said, “Please give me a sip of water from your jug to drink.” “I will also draw water for your 10 camels until they have drunk their fill.” 21 The man gazed at her in silence, waiting to find out whether Adonai had made his trip successful or not. 22 When the camels were done drinking, the man took a gold nose-ring weighing one-fifth of an ounce(225.00 today) and two gold bracelets weighing four ounces(16,400.00 today) 36 Sarah my master’s wife bore my master a son when she was old, and he has given him everything he has. 39 I said to my master, ‘Suppose the woman isn’t willing to follow me.’ 40 Avraham answered me, ‘Adonai, in whose presence I live, will send his angel with you to make your trip successful; Free Will you are to pick a wife for my son from my kinsmen in my father’s house; 41 this will release you from your obligation under my oath. But if, when you come to my kinsmen, they refuse to give her to you, this too will release you from my oath.’ 57 They said, “We will call the girl and see what she says.” 58 They called Rivkah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” and she replied, “I will.” 59 So they sent their sister Rivkah away, with her nurse, Avraham’s servant and his men. 60 They blessed Rivkah with these words: “Our sister, may you be the mother of millions, and may your descendants possess the cities of those who hate them.”

Adonai appeared to Avraham by the oaks of Mamre as he sat at the entrance to the tent during the heat of the day. raah: see, saw, seen Original Word: רָאָה. רָאָה spans the full range of “seeing” in Scripture, from the simplest act of looking to the highest revelatory vision. Divine Seeing: Omniscience and Compassion,Hagar’s confession, “You are El Roi” (Genesis 16:13), anchors the conviction that no sufferer escapes His notice (Psalm 33:13-15). Exodus 33:23). רָאָה marks thresholds where the invisible God condescends to be perceived, yet preserves His holiness. Moral and Spiritual Perception רָאָה also expresses discernment: “Taste and see that the LORD is good” (Psalm 34:8). Human Versus Divine Perspective “The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). This contrast warns against superficial judgments and invites submission to God’s penetrating appraisal (Proverbs 15:3). On seeing them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, prostrated himself on the ground, bow self down, crouch, fall down flat, humbly beseech, do reverence, worship A primitive root; to depress, i.e. Prostrate (especially reflexive, in homage to royalty or God) -- bow (self) down, crouch, fall down (flat), humbly beseech, do (make) obeisance, do reverence, make to stoop, worship.deferential respect. 14 Is anything too hard for Adonai? At the time set for it,
