The text relates to Israel, who are in exile in the nations, since the land of Egypt includes all the exiles. Israel, who will be in the holy land of Israel, are sitting in the land. When the Messiah comes, they will be in their place with their brothers, since it is considered exile only for those who dwell in a foreign land, and are called \u201cexiles.\u201d But those who dwell in the land of Israel are not called \u201cexiles\u201d and are not in exile even before the arrival of the Messiah. This is why the text makes the precision, \u201cWho were born to you in the land of Egypt,\u201d who are regarded as exiles, and not those who are born in the land of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>74) \u201cAnd I will remember My covenant with Jacob.\u201d The Vav of Jacob is in excess, which indicates that the Vav that departed when the house was ruined will come and will assist Jacob at the time of redemption. And the holy son, Jacob, will have a permanent lot in the land and his sons will be in their land, in which they lived before, happy are they.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>75) Now, sons that were deported abroad and forgotten are discerned as Menashe, and who were fruitful and multiplied are considered Ephraim. And the upper Jacob, who is ZA, said to the one below, \u201cYour sons, who are abroad, who were born in exile in each and every land before I came to Egypt and executed judgment upon them for their iniquities, I do not consider all those creations in exile abroad, in a foreign land, as your sons. And although they are many, regarded as Ephraim, and are forgotten, regarded as Menashe, they are My sons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when I saw this exile of theirs, I healed their pains and I heard their prayer. It is written about it, \u201cBefore I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.\u201d Reuben, \u201cFor the Lord saw my affliction\u201d; Shimon, \u201cBecause the Lord heard [Shama] that I am hated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ephraim and Menashe means that they multiplied in the exile and were forgotten. \u201cShall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are,\u201d meaning that He will see their affliction, hear their prayer, and redeem them, as implied in the names Reuben and Shimon. Think in your heart as though they are before Me, and when we return from Egypt, which includes all the exiles, after the judgment is executed on them, we will deliver them from the land of their exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>76) We learn from this that after He executes judgment in Egypt, which includes all the nations, Israel will be redeemed from the exile, as it is written, \u201cAnd they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering unto the Lord.\u201d This means that when the Creator is in judgment [judgment] in Egypt, meaning in all the nations, all the peoples will bring an offering when they hear of the Creator, as it is written, \u201cAnd all the nations shall flow unto Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>77) The Creator will make a Huppah [wedding canopy] for each righteous in Jerusalem, as it is written, \u201cThe voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride,\u201d when the Shechina returns to the King and she is engaged. \u201cOn the day of his wedding, and on the day of his gladness of heart.\u201d \u201cOn the day of his wedding\u201d is the giving of the Torah. \u201cAnd on the day of his gladness of heart\u201d is the building of the Temple, may it be built soon in our days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>78) \u201cBut your offspring that have been born after them shall be yours.\u201d This is Israel below, which will be born after the redemption, to the patriarchs, which are Merkavot [chariots\/assemblies]. Their names\u2014those who were born after the redemption\u2014will be named after their brothers; they will be named in their lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>79) \u201cYour homeland\u201d is Jerusalem below, your homeland. The people who will be born in this Jerusalem, once the world returns to the Master of heaven, since they will convert after the redemption. They will be named after the sons of Israel and not after their fathers, like the proselyte from Kaputkia, but by the name of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>80) \u201cShall be yours\u201d means that they will be named after Israel, as it is written, they will be named after their brothers in their lot. And when they return, they will settle with Israel in the land and each tribe will take its own. And for people of theirs who are strangers, each will inherit from the land according to his number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>73) \u201cAnd now your two sons, who were born
