……..About Yosef and his offspring. As I wrote, I find it very hard to leave Sefer Bereshith and our Avos, Imahos, and the progeny of the Tribes. They were truly our spiritual trailblazers who bequeathed to us the development of our neshomas. I believe we are still suffering from transgressions from this period in our history. The fascinating commentary begins with:
23. Three generations. Although Joseph was the first of the brothers to die, he lived to see Ephraim’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren
The point has been made that Machir’s sons were contemporaries of Moses (Numbers 26:29), and they were among the fourth generation that G-d had promised to liberate from Egypt (15:16). When they were children, they had seen Joseph, the greatest of his generation, and they would live to enter Eretz Yisrael. I am so happy to be living in and on Eretz Yisrael.
I used my iPad to photograph the commentaries w/o capturing B”H the Hebrew text. If anyone has trouble reading this, I can type it separately. Let me know.
