Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Va’yeishev

Parsha 9

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Genesis 37:1–40:23 it is called Va’yeishev which means “and he settled” This is the story of Jacob’s family. Joseph was the favorite son and tattled on his brothers. To make it worst he wore a costume made rainbow coat and had dreams that his brothers metaphorically bowed down to him. The brothers’ were fed up so they ripped off his rainbow coat and Sparta kicked him down a well and sold him into slavery and lied to Jacob that Joseph was eaten by beasts. Jacob was sad. Judah moved out and married the daughter of a Canaanite and had three sons. The oldest married Tamar but God killed him because he was wicked. The second brother was required by law to have children with Tamar but he failed and died. The last brother was up to bat, but Judah was afraid and would not allow Tamar her right. Long story short, Judah “accidently” slept with Tamar and fulfilled her right. She gave birth to Perez Meanwhile Joseph landed a sweet gig with a man named Potiphar but his wife tried to have her way with Joseph and when he refused she accused him of rape and he was sent to prison. While in prison Joseph met the baker and the butler and interpreted their dreams. The baker would die but the butler would live and be restored to his position with Pharaoh. Joseph asked the Butler for a referral when he was restored but the butler forgot. And that is Va’yeishev in 60 seconds.

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Genesis 32:4–36:43 it is called Vayishlach which means “and he sent” As Jacob returned home he sent many gifts ahead of him to butter up Esau, the messenger brought him news that Esau was coming to “meet” him and Jacob was scared. He sent his entire family and everything ahead of him and stayed behind for the night. Cough Coward* That night Jacob literally wrestled with God who dislocated his hip. Jacob would not tap out until God had blessed him. God renamed Jacob Israel, for he had striven with God and with men and prevailed. The next morning Jacob was reunited with Esau and Esau met the whole family. Jacob was in Shechem when his daughter Dinah caught the eye of the prince of the land, who forced himself on her. The prince wanted to marry Dinah but the brothers knew what had happened and told Shechem the prince that all the men must be circumcised. Shechem agreed. On the third day, when the men of the city were in pain, Jacob’s sons Simeon and Levi killed all the men and took Dinah out of the city. God told Jacob to move to Bethel and while there God blessed Jacob who was now called Israel. Soon after, Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin. Reuben lay with Jacob’s concubine, and Israel found out. Jacob reunited with Isaac at Hebron, Isaac died at the old age of 180, and Esau and Jacob buried him. Esau moved away because they both needed more space. And that is Vayishlach in 60 seconds.

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Va’yeitzi Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Genesis 28:10–32:3 it is called Va’yeitzi which means “and he went out” Jacob was on the run. While using a stone for a pillow, he dreamed a ladder to heaven with angels ascended and descended. God stood beside him and made a promise. Jacob arrived at Haran. When Jacob saw Rachel he chucked a huge stone from the well’s mouth, watered Laban’s sheep, kissed Rachel, wept like a baby, and told her that they were related. Laban welcomed Jacob as family. Laban had two daughters: The elder, Leah, had weak eyes, while the younger, Rachel, was beautiful. Jacob worked seven years to marry Rachel but on their wedding night Laban gave Jacob the slip and gave his older less attractive daughter Leah. Doh! So Jacob worked another seven years and married Rachel as well. Leah was very fertile and Rachel was barren. Many babies and way too much drama later, Jacob was thinking about moving home. Jacob had been scamming Laban in the sheep business and Laban eventually caught on. Jacob tried to leave secretly with all the possessions but was caught. After a long confrontation Laban and Jacob decided to make a covenant not to harm each other. Laban said goodbye, blessed them, and went home. When Jacob left, the angels of God met him. And that is Va’yeitzi in 60 seconds.

During a famine Isaac settled in Gerar, and like his father Abraham told the men that Rebekah was his sister. Abimelech called his bluff and protected them. Isaac’s wealth caused many problems with the locals and they moved away. Isaac went to Beersheba, and met with God. While there Abimelech came and make an oath with Isaac. Esau married two Hittite women causing bitterness for Isaac and Rebekah. Isaac was old lost his sight, he sent Esau hunting, and intended to give him his innermost blessing before he died. Rebekah overheard and helped Jacob trick Isaac into receive Esau’s blessing. They used baby goat skin and and Esau’s clothes to disguise Jacob and Rebekah prepared a dish. Isaac blessed Jacob.

Abraham mourned. Abraham instructed his senior servant to put his hand under Abraham’s thigh and swear by God that he would not take a wife for Isaac from the Canaanites, but would go to the land of Abraham’s birth to get Isaac a wife. The servant obeyed. He asked God to grant that the maiden whom he would ask to draw water for him and who replied by offering also to water his camels might be the one whom God had decreed for Isaac. As he finished, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder. BOOM! After an evening of celebrating the servant was eager to go but Rebekah’ parents were hesitant. The servant insisted that they must return to Abraham. Rebekah had the final say and went with the servant. As they were approaching, Rebechah and Isaac saw each other and it was love at first sight. They were married that evening. Abraham took another wife. Isaac received all the inheritance. Abraham lived 175 years and died. Isaac and Ishmael buried him with Sarah. After Abraham’s death, God blessed Isaac. Ishmael had 12 sons, who became chieftains of 12 tribes. Ishmael lived 137 years and then died. And that is Chayei Sarah in 60 seconds.

The Lord said Sarah would have a son, Sarah LOLed. God told Abraham about destroying Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham asked if God would kill the innocent. God said He would not destroy the cities if there were 10 righteous people. Meanwhile, Lot was at the gate of Sodom the two angels arrived. While they were at Lot’s house all the men of Sodom gathered and demanded the men be sent out. Lot offered his two virgin daughters. This caused a riot. The Angels took lot and his Family out of the city. The family was instructed not to look back but Lot’s wife disobeyed and into a pillar of salt. Lot’s daughters wanted to have children and devised a plan to get Lot drunk and sleep with him. They succeeded and had sons. Abraham settled Gerar and tired to pull the same stunt he pulled in Egypt, but God warned King Abimelech he gave Sarah back. Isaac was born and was circumcised eight days later. After he was weaned, Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away. Abraham made an oath with Abimelech not to mess with him. God tested Abraham, directing him to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. As Abramaham raised the knife to kill Isaac an angel stopped Abraham. God provided a ram, so he offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son. Abraham passed the test and was blessed And that is Vayeira in 60 seconds.
