RADAK -- BEING THE SOURCE OF BLESSING IS A BLESSING IN AND OF ITSELF He bestowed an additional blessing on them on that day, saying: “becha yevarech yisrael” -- whenever an Israelite wants to bestow a blessing on his son, he will preface it with the words: “May the Lord make you to be like Ephraim and Menashe.” 7. DR. ELY MERTZBACH – EPHRAIM & MANASSEH OFFER COMFORT TO THOSE IN THE DIASPORA Here is an explanation I heard from my mother of blessed memory, who told the following story of her father, a devout Jewish doctor from the city of Mulhouse in Alsace, France. Despite his living in great isolation, in a tiny Jewish community situated in non-Jewish surroundings, he managed to educate his twelve children to follow the Torah. Both Ephraim and Manasseh grew up and lived in a hostile, non- Jewish environment, without Jewish education. Nevertheless, they grew up to be good Jews, believing in God and following in the ways of their forefathers. So, too, we bless our children that even in difficult surroundings, amidst the gentiles (bear in mind that this practice was instituted in Jewish communities outside of Israel), our children succeed in growing up according to Jewish tradition, keeping the Torah. Therefore, we deliberately mention Ephraim and Manasseh. Even living in Israel there is good reason to pray we may succeed in educating our children and safeguard them against the temptations offered by their contemporary surroundings. Another explanation bears on the essence of the entire book of Genesis. Throughout this book we are constantly faced with strife between brothers: Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers. As long as there is fighting among brothers, one cannot establish a nation. The nation of Israel begins to emerge only after fraternal strife has ceased. Only when there is true peace between Joseph and his brothers does the book of Genesis come to an end and the book of Exodus, in which the nation of Israel assumes shape, begins. Prior to that there is no nation, for only when there is brotherhood within the family can one forge a nation. Ephraim and Manasseh are the first pair of brothers in Scripture who do not fight with each other; rather, they have peace and tranquility in their dealings. Even when Jacob crossed his hands, giving preference to Ephraim over Manasseh, there was no jealously between them and the brothers remained united. Therefore, the patriarchal blessing specifically mentions Ephraim and Manasseh. Mothers and fathers, in blessing their children, expect, hope and pray that there always be brotherly love between their children, and therefore they bless them with this blessing. One of the worst things that can happen to parents is to see strife and jealousy between their sons and daughters. One child can easily feel that another has received more, and from there the way to jealously is short. By mentioning Ephraim and Manasseh, we try to avoid this by offering a prayer that it never happens. 2 8.

  • Brass Plates' and Biblical Scholarship
    THE 'BRASS PLATES' AND BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP JOHN L. SORENSON One of the notable intellectual activities of the 19th and early 20th centuries was development of the view that the Old Testament was a composite of ancient documents of varied age and source. Although the origin of the view in western European thought goes back over two hundred years, it was not until the early decades of this century, with the triumph of an evolutionary view of history, that the logical extreme of the position was attained. Julius Wellhausen's phrasing of the "classical documentary hypothesis" then became orthodox for virtually all well-educated divines and secular scholars on antiquity.1 Four major strands of tradition—or early sources—were thought distin- quishable, particularly in the Pentateuch. These were variously considered actual original documents, or the distinct revisions of later editors, or the manifestations of separate bodies of tradition, first oral and then written. The earliest, or "}" strand was seen as fundamental, from which an "E" tradition diverged. Each had telltale stylistic differences and theological biases, especially in the preference for a different name for divinity—"}" deriving its designation from its common use of Jehovah (Yahweh), and "E" from Elohim. A third source, "P" (for Priestly), was held to present a tradition-conscious picture of a God distant from the lives and immediate concerns of men. The fourth source, "D", was identified as that emphasizing the Deuteronomic law.2 The Old Testament was seen as an intricate composite of all these separate sources or traditions. In its extreme form, the logic of documentary analysis on the basis of lexicon, style and content eventually led to distinguishing many more than four sources, all supposedly based on peculiarities detected in the text by one or more analysts.

C-MATS Question: What were the final words of Moses? These final words of Moses are a combination of blessing and prophecy, in which he blesses each tribe according to its national responsibilities and individual greatness. Moses' blessings were a continuation of Jacob's, as if to say that the tribes were blessed at the beginning of their national existence and again as they were about to begin life in Israel. Moses directed his blessings to each of the tribes individually, since the welfare of each tribe depended upon that of the others, and the collective welfare of the nation depended upon the success of them all (Pesikta). came from Sinai and from Seir He dawned on them; He shined forth from יהוה ,And he (Moses) said 2 Mount Paran and He came with ten thousands of holy ones: from His right hand went a fiery commandment for them. came to Israel from Seir and יהוה ?present the Torah to the Israelites יהוה Question: How did had offered the Torah to the descendants of יהוה Paran, which, as the Midrash records, recalls that Esau, who dwelled in Seir, and to the Ishmaelites, who dwelled in Paran, both of whom refused to accept the Torah because it prohibited their predilections to kill and steal.

  • The Tribe of Joseph and “The Latter Days”
    Copyright© Steven M. Collins 1 THE TRIBE OF JOSEPH AND “THE LATTER DAYS” By Steven M. Collins Many Christians and Jews have an expectation that we are living in momentous times. This expectation is based upon the belief that world events indicate we are living in a climactic period of time called "the latter days" in many biblical prophecies. This prophetic phase will be climaxed by the arrival of a new period of time known by such names as the Messianic Age, the Millennium, the Kingdom of God, etc. Do I believe we are living in the biblical "latter days?" Yes, I do. In this column, I will discuss several aspects of the prophecy regarding the tribe of Joseph which strongly confirm that we are living in the biblical "latter days." Joseph and the Latter Days: Genesis 49 lists prophecies for all of the tribes of Israel in the latter days, but this section will examine three aspects of the prophecy about the tribe of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh). Since this is a prophecy for the latter days, we must demonstrate that all three aspects of this prophecy are fulfilled in modern times to confirm that we are living now in "the latter days." As many readers of this article likely know, the tribes of Joseph are Ephraim and Manasseh, and these two tribes are primarily linked to the modern English and American nations. Genesis (Bereshith) 49:22 prophesies in the King James Version concerning Joseph: "Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall." A Hebraic translation (The Complete Jewish Bible) captures, I believe, the sense of this prophecy better by translating it: "Yosef [Joseph] is a fruitful plant, a fruitful plant by a spring, with branches climbing over the wall." (Emphasis added.) Here the tribes of Joseph are likened not to a tree which stays in one place, but rather to a vine which spreads out and sends branches elsewhere.

  • QUESTIONS for PARSHAT VAYIGASH 5775 by Rabbi Edward Davis I
    BS”D QUESTIONS FOR PARSHAT VAYIGASH 5775 by Rabbi Edward Davis I. From the Text 1. What was Yehudah’s plan to save Binyamin? (44:37) 2. Why was Yehudah the only one pleading on behalf of Binyamin? (44:32) 3. What was the first thing Yosef said to his brothers when he revealed his true identity to them? (45:3) 4. Upon sending his brothers back to get their father, Yaakov, Yosef gave all his brothers changes of clothing; but he favored Binyamin. What did Yosef give Binyamin? (45:22) 5. How old was Yaakov when he moved to Egypt? (47:9) II. From Rashi 6. Why did Yehudah state that one brother had died? He did not know that! (44:20) 7. Why did Yosef send all of his servants out of the room when he was about to reveal himself to his brothers? (45:1) 8. In what language did Yosef now speak to his brothers? (45:12) 9. Why did Yosef and Binyamin now cry and embrace after Yosef revealed himself? (45:14) 10. Why was Yehudah sent ahead to Goshen before the family? (46:28) III. From the Rabbis 11. Why did Yosef choose Goshen as the residing place for his father and family? 12. What descendant of Binyamin would wear royal garments? (Talmud Megillah 16b) 13. The Torah states that all the people of Yaakov’s family who came to Egypt numbered 70. Yet when one tallies the list provided in Chapter 46, we find at least 69. Explain. IV.

Because Jacob remains focused on God’s promises for a heritage in the Land, he makes Joseph promise to bring his body back there (vv.29-31). Based on God’s word to him in 46:4, where do you think Jacob expects to actually die? When Joseph returns to Jacob bringing his two sons (48:1-2), Jacob tells them about God’s promises to him at Bethel (vv.3-4; cf. 28:13-16; 35:11-12) and then reveals his intention to elevate Joseph’s two sons as full heirs of those promises (vv.5-6). After telling them about the fate of Rachel, their mother/grandmother (v.7), Jacob prepares to formally bless the kids (vv.8-9). & Jacob’s eyes are failing due to age (v.10; cf. 27:1ff) but his heart is full because he is beholding his beloved grandsons (v.11; cf. Prov.17:6a). We are given a slow-motion detailed picture of Joseph facing his father and preparing for his first-born son to receive the birthright blessing of preeminence (vv.12-13; Manasseh, the first-born is on Jacob’s right).

  • The Border of Manasseh Marched in the North with Th&T' of Ashel.', and in the East with That of Issachar
    :BOUNDARIES OF EPHRAIM, MAN.A.SSEH, .AND ISSACHA.ll.. 47 The border of Manasseh marched in the north with th&t' of Ashel.', and in the east with that of Issachar. "They ID.6t together." [Hf.~~:J is the very same word that we found before, describing the coincidence of Ephraim's north border in the south border line at Jer.:ichn; where they formed one; so here it singularly occurs·again to desccile one of the most striking and conclusive features of the sketch we have given of these tribes. (4.) !SSACHAR. The outline of the above two tribes marks out to some extent the lot of the tribe of Issachar. It lay to the east of them, along the entire line of the Jordan, from the sea of Chineroth on the north to nearly the Salt Sea on the south, where the border of Benjamin had a small part of it, from the Wady Kelt to the north bay of the sea. Issachar, as a tribe, is not described by Joshua, who only mentions the names of towns contained in it. It did not require description, as the containing boundaries of Ephraim and Manasseh on the wost, with the River Jordan on the east, sufficiently defined it. It was of a triangular form, having its apex at Jericho and its base to the north of the plain of Jezreel, where it was met by the border of Zabulon, and where its chief cities lay. It contained thus a long tract of territory, but as this was for.the most pru:t wilder­ ness, its dimensions were much greater than its worth, while three great , and fertile districts were taken from it and given to Manasseh.
