366) \u201cAnd Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, \u2018Who are these?\u2019\u201d It is written, \u201cAnd the eyes of Israel were dim with age, and he could not see.\u201d If he could not see, what is, \u201cAnd Israel saw\u201d? He saw Joseph\u2019s sons in the holy spirit, referring to Jeroboam and his friends. Jeroboam made two golden calves and said, \u201cThese are your gods, oh Israel.\u201d This is why Jacob asked, \u201cWho are these?\u201d Who is the one who is destined to say, \u201cThese are your gods\u201d to idolatry? It is written about that, \u201cAnd Israel saw Joseph’s sons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
367) Righteous see things before they come to the world because the Creator crowns them with His crown. The Creator sees far ahead, as it is written, \u201cAnd God saw all that He has done.\u201d This is so because the Creator sees all the deeds before they are done, and they all pass before Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
368) All the generations of the world, from the end of the world to the end of the world, stand before Him before they come into the world. Before they come down, all the souls that come down to the world stand before the Creator in the form they appear in this world and are called by their names, as it is written, \u201cHe calls them all by name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
369) The Creator shows the righteous all the generations of the world before they come and are present in the world. The Creator showed Adam HaRishon all the generations before they came, as it is written, \u201cThis is the book of the generations of Adam.\u201d He showed him all the generations that were destined to come into the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the same with Moses, as it is written, \u201cAnd the Lord showed him all the land.\u201d The Creator showed him all the generations in the world, all the leaders in the world, and all the prophets, before they came into the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
370) Here, too, \u201cAnd Israel saw Joseph\u2019s sons\u201d means that he saw far ahead how they were destined to commit idolatry, and he was shaken and said, \u201cWho are these?\u201d This complements both for Jeroboam, who said, \u201cThese are your gods, oh Israel,\u201d and also for asking about Menashe and Ephraim. To that, Joseph replied and said, \u201cThey are my sons, whom God has thus given me,\u201d meaning they are kosher [fit\/qualified\/proper]. However, he did not reply to him about Jeroboam and his friends. And the Creator pointed to Jeroboam and his friends, since it is written, \u201cAnd lo, God has also shown me your seed.\u201d The word \u201calso\u201d comes to multiply those generations that came out of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
