815) \u201cAnd they came to the barn of the lycium… and he observed seven days mourning for his father.\u201d Why does it concern us that they came to the barn of the lycium? And what is the reason that this mourning is related to Egypt, as it is written, \u201cThe mourning at the barn of the lycium … This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians.\u201d It should have said, \u201cMourning for Israel,\u201d why Egypt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
816) As long as Jacob was in Egypt, the land was blessed because of him, the river Nile would flow and water the land, and hunger stopped because of Jacob. Hence, the Egyptians made mourning and it is named after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
817) \u201cWho will utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, and sound all His praise?\u201d \u201cWho will utter,\u201d as it is written, \u201cPluck corn-ears,\u201d expressing separation and detachment. \u201cThe mighty deeds of the Lord,\u2019 since they are many, for all the verdicts come from the mighty deeds [Gevurot] of the Creator, the left line. This is why he says, \u201cWho will utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,\u201d meaning who will cancel and revoke one verdict from those that the Creator has done?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
818) \u201cWho will utter\u201d and \u201cWho will speak\u201d are all one. \u201cUttering\u201d means \u201cspeaking,\u201d since there are several Gevurot that cannot be counted, several prosecutors, several advocates, and several punishers of those who break rules, and speaking cannot detail them. This is why it is written, \u201cWho will utter the Gevurot [mighty deeds] of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
819) By what are all the Gevurot of the Lord known? By telling, since there is Hochma in it, and they are known in Hochma. This is so because in uttering and in speaking there is no one who can say them and know them. However, in telling, they are known, as it is written, \u201cOne generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts,\u201d meaning that in telling, in Hochma, they are known. However, \u201cYour Gevura [mighty acts]\u201d is lower Gevura, Gevura in the Nukva. \u201cShall speak\u201d means that they can be said, as it is written, \u201cAnd talk of Your power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
820) \u201cWill sound all His praise,\u201d since many are the judgments that are apparent and bond in praise. Several camps bond in her; hence, who can \u201cSound all His praise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
821) The Egyptians were all wise. Several armies and several camps come out from the side of Gevura, the left line, and several degrees, until they reach the lower degrees. The Egyptians were sorcerers. There were wise among them who knew the hidden things in the world. They observed that while Jacob lived in the world, no people ruled over his sons. They also knew that they would enslave Israel for many days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
822) When Jacob died, they rejoiced, for now they could enslave Israel. They looked at what was to come in the end until they reached the barn of the lycium, the verdict of the ruler, saw the Gevurot that would come upon them, the plagues, and the crossing of the Red Sea. Like the thorns that come out to this side and to that side from the lycium, which is like the hand, that fingers come forth from it to this side and to that side, and each finger rises in several Gevurot, in several judgments, several rules. Then it is written, \u201cThey lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation,\u201d as it is written, \u201cTherefore, it was named Mourning-Egypt,\u201d for it is a great mourning for the Egyptians, and not for another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
823) When Rabbi Shimon interpreted the verses of the portion, they came out of the cave in which they were dwelling. He said, \u201cI see that today a house will fall in the city, and two Romans who slander Israel will die there. If I am in the city, the house will not fall because my merit will protect them.\u201d They returned into the cave and he did not wish to go to his city, so that his merit would not protect them and the house would fall and the slanderers in there would be killed. They sat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
