Exodus 1:1-6:1
Etz Hayim p. 317 A new Pharaoh who “knew not Joseph” takes power in Egypt. Fearing the growing Israelite population, he enslaves them and orders that their newborn males be drowned. The heroic efforts of nurses Shifra and Puah prevent Israel’s demise. One of the Israelite women places her baby boy in a basket and sends it down the river. Pharaoh’s daughter discovers the basket and adopts the baby inside, naming him Moses. The adult Moses kills a slave master and flees to Midian. There, he starts a family and becomes a shepherd. Responding to Israel’s cries for freedom, God speaks to Moses in the presence of a burning bush, telling him to return to Egypt and to approach Pharaoh. Moses tries to dissuade God several times, but God is resolute, displaying examples of God’s power, and promising that Aaron, Moses’ older brother, would speak on his behalf. Moses’ initial encounter with Pharaoh is fruitless, as Pharaoh adds to the Israelites’ burden. Conservative Yeshiva's Torah Sparks |
