What word (in Hebrew) is used to describe how Bnei Yisrael came out of Egypt?
ΧΧΧΧ©ΧΧ
According to Rashi, why does it matter that the Land of the Pelishtim is close to Egypt
BECAUSE IT WAS NEAR, and it would therefore be easy to return by the same route to Egypt. β And there are many Midrashic explanations.
The word βΧΧΧΧ©ΧΧβ is unclear. What does it mean in our Χ€Χ‘ΧΧ§?
Rashiβs answer is: Armed, with weapons.
What is another way to understand the term βΧΧΧΧ©ΧΧβ?
Only a fifth of the Jews left Egypt. 4/5 Jews died during the plague of darkness (the three days of super thick darkness) because they were unworthy of being redeemed.
What was Moshe doing while everyone was busy collecting gold from the Egyptians?
Collecting Yosef bones.
What did Yosef make his brothers swear to him before he died?
That when they would leave Egypt they would take his bones with them and bring them to Eretz Yisrael.
Where did Bnei Yisrael leave?
Sukkot
Where did they go to?
Eitam
Why does the Torah use the double expression βΧΧ©ΧΧ’ ΧΧ©ΧΧΧ’β instead of just saying ΧΧ©ΧΧΧ’?
Because Yosef made his brothers swear that they would make their children swear, so two oaths took place.
Why didnβt ΧΧΧ‘Χ£ make his brothers swear that they would bury him in the Land of Israel immediately after he died like ΧΧ’Χ§Χ made ΧΧΧ‘Χ£ swear?
Yosef said: I was a ruler in Egypt and I had sufficient power to do what my father desired; but my sons β the Egyptians will not permit them to do this.
