This is the portion of Scripture that will be read in synagogues around

SHEMOT (Names)
Exodus 1:1–6:1; Isaiah 27:6–28:13, 29:22–23; Jeremiah 1:1–2:3; Romans 12:1–21
“These are the names [ve’eleh shemot] of the sons of Israel who
went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family.” (Exodus 1:1)
In last week’s Torah portion (Parasha), the first of the five books of Moses,
Genesis (Bereisheet — In the Beginning), ended with the deaths of Jacob and Joseph.
This week, we begin the second book of the Torah, Exodus,
called Shemot in Hebrew, which means names.
This Parasha describes the suffering of the Israelites under bondage to the Egyptians,
the birth of Moses and his miraculous salvation from out of the Nile River.
It also describes his calling to deliver Israel and his encounter with Pharaoh.

Weekly Torah Portion: Shemot
In the darkest depths of the Egyptian exile, Torah introduces us to a ray of redemptive light by the name of Moshe (Moses). Even though Moshe the prophet and servant of G-d will accompany us throughout the entirety of the next four of the five books of Torah, the Torah divulges precious little information about Moshe. But what it does provide is all we need to know, not only about Moshe, but also about our own potential role in the redemptive process of Israel.

Parshat Shemot
The children of Israel multiply in Egypt. Threatened by their growing numbers, Pharaoh enslaves them and orders the Hebrew midwives, Shifrah and Puah, to kill all male babies at birth. When they do not comply, he commands his people to cast the Hebrew babies into the Nile. A child is born to Yocheved, the daughter of Levi, and her husband, Amram, and placed in a basket on the river, while the baby’s sister, Miriam, stands watch from afar. Pharaoh’s daughter discovers the boy, raises him as her son, and names him Moses. [...]

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Shemot
- Things Seem to Go From Bad to Worse !!!
Shabbat
shalom !
Welcome to Shemot
(Names), this week’s Parasha (Torah
Portion).
This is the portion of Scripture that will be read in
synagogues around the world during this week’s Shabbat
(Saturday) service. May you be blessed, refreshed, and
inspired as you study God’s word with us at the start of the
new year.
SHEMOT (Names)
Exodus 1:1–6:1; Isaiah 27:6–28:13, 29:22–23;
Jeremiah 1:1–2:3; Romans 12:1–21
“These are the names
[ve’eleh shemot] of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt
with Jacob, each with his family.” (Exodus 1:1)
In last week’s Torah portion (Parasha), the first of the
five books of Moses, Genesis (Bereisheet
— In the Beginning), ended with the deaths
of Jacob and Joseph.
This week, we begin the second book of the Torah,
Exodus, called Shemot
in Hebrew, which means names.
This Parasha describes the suffering of the
Israelites under bondage to the Egyptians, the birth of
Moses and his miraculous salvation from out of the Nile
River. It also describes his calling to deliver
Israel and his encounter with Pharaoh.
The Finding of Moses, by Lawrence Alma Tadema
Like Moses, Like
Yeshua
“The descendants of Jacob
numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt.” (Exodus
1:5)
Although only 70 descendants of Jacob (whom God renamed
Israel) came into the Land of Egypt at Joseph’s invitation,
they soon multiplied into such a great and mighty
people that the new pharaoh, who did not know Joseph, felt
threatened by them. He feared that the
Israelites might join Egypt’s enemies in battles against
them.
“The Israelites were
exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased
in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled
with them.” (Exodus 1:7)
To counter the growing strength of the Israelites, the Egyptians forced them
into bitter labor, building store cities for Pharaoh and
working the fields.
Morning prayer (shacharit) at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
When they continued to multiply, Pharaoh ordered the
Hebrew midwives to kill all newborn males. But at least
two, Shifrah and Puah, did not. God, therefore,
supernaturally protected their lives, even blessing them
with families and multiplying the Israelites even more (Exodus
1:16–21).
So Pharaoh turned to the Egyptians, commanding them to
throw all male
newborn Hebrews into the Nile River (Exodus
1:22).
But babies grow and, eventually, he could no longer be
hidden, so they put him in a basket and set him afloat on
the Nile among the reeds.
Even in this desperate circumstance, the
protective hand of God was on this boy of destiny.
Pharaoh’s daughter spotted the basket. When she saw the
Hebrew baby inside, she had pity on him and took him as her
own.
Instead of
drowning in the Nile or dying at the hands of the
Egyptians as the other newborn boys did, Moses was
raised in Pharaoh’s palace as a prince of Egypt.
Reading from a Torah scroll using a yad (literally, hand) to follow the text
without obstructing the view of others who are following along.
This dramatic account of the infant Moses parallels the life of the
infant Yeshua (Jesus), who was
sentenced to death by the order of King Herod, among all the
other Jewish male infants in Bethlehem.
“Then when Herod saw that
he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged,
and sent and slew all the male children who were in
Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and
under, according to the time which he had determined from
the magi.” (Matthew 2:16)
Just as Moses was saved by his mother, so was Yeshua
saved by the obedience and faith of his earthly father,
Joseph, who was warned in a dream to flee to Egypt.
“Now when they had gone,
behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream
and said, ‘Get up! Take the Child and
His mother and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I
tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to
destroy Him.’ So Joseph got up and took
the Child and His mother while it was still night, and
left for Egypt.” (Matthew 2:13–14)
What irony that the very place of danger and
death for the Hebrew babies in the days of Moses became a
place of refuge for Yeshua when He was but a baby!

Egyptian Prince
Moses Becomes a Shepherd
Because Pharaoh’s daughter drew the baby from the Nile,
she called him Moshe
(מֹשֶׁה) from the word moshech,
meaning pull or draw.
Moses grew up in the royal Egyptian palace, but
it seems that the burdens of his fellow Israelites
troubled him.
One day, he saw an Egyptian slave master beating a
Hebrew. Even as a young man, Moses felt the calling to
deliver his people, but he
stepped ahead of God’s timing.
In the process of defending this Israelite slave, Moses
killed the Egyptian and fled to Midian to escape Pharaoh’s
death decree over him. (Exodus 2:15)
Again in Midian, Moses expressed his calling as a
deliverer by saving the daughters of the Priest of Midian
who had come to the well where he sat. They wanted to draw
water for their flock, but shepherds tried to drive them
away. Moses intervened and watered their flocks for them.
Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro, by Sebastiano Ricci
The Priest of Midian welcomed Moses to live with him and
even gave Moses his daughter, Zipporah, as a wife.
Moses spent the next 40 years shepherding sheep
in the land of Midian, a period of time that God used to
prepare him to shepherd His people Israel out of Egypt.
Only when the children of Israel cried out to God, did
the time come for God to make His move: “And God heard their groaning, and
God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and
with Jacob.” (Exodus 2:24)
The Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses from out of the
flame of a bush that
burned but was not consumed.
From the midst of this burning bush at the foot of Mount
Sinai, God told Moses he had heard the cries of His People
and was sending Moses to go back to Pharaoh in His name and
His power on His behalf.
Moses and the Burning Bush, by Gebhard Fugel
By this point, this prince of Egypt had been so
humbled by his lengthy wilderness experience that he
seemed to lack confidence when it came to his role as a
leader of a nation.
First, Moses asked for the name of the One sending him.
God answered with His name, Ehyeh
Asher Ehyeh—אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה. Widely
translated as I am
that I am, the Hebrew grammatical form is actually
in the future tense.
Therefore, God’s name is more accurately translated as
I will be what I will be.
I will be what I will be.
The message to
Moses is perhaps that God can look after the details of
the future. He will be to us whoever
and whatever He chooses to be — father, friend, comforter,
counselor, or even disciplinarian. We can trust in God’s
infinite wisdom to be who we need in our lives at each
moment in time.
Even with this assurance, Moses still feels
unqualified for the task, especially since he is slow in
speech. He begs God to send someone else; therefore, He
allowed Aaron, Moses’ brother, to accompany him and act as
his spokesperson.
When they reached Pharaoh, the message to be delivered
to him would be: “Thus says
the Lord, ‘Israel is My firstborn son, and I say to you,
“Let my son go that he may serve Me.”’” (Exodus
4:22–23)
Jewish men pray at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
Like Israel, Like
Us
There is much we can take from this story of Moses’
progression in becoming a leader.
He was not ready for leadership overnight.
Likewise, we may understand that we have a calling on our
lives, and this might become evident time and time again.
Still, we must wait for that time when the Lord chooses to
release us into the fullness of our destiny.
As well, we might also feel incapable of accomplishing
anything for the Lord, having lost much of our
self-confidence through the trials and tribulations of life;
whatever our
experience, it still remains true that God’s presence
and help is all we need to fulfill the destiny He has
assigned to us.

We can also learn from the suffering of the Israelites.
Despite the tyranny by the Egyptians, the People of Israel
still grew mighty in number.
Oppressive circumstances cannot prevent God
from carrying out His purposes and fulfilling His
promises.
We might suffer under some sort of bondage or pain for
what seems like a very long time, but we can rest assured
that God hears our cries.
He remembers the covenant we have with Him through our
Messiah Yeshua, which provides a way out of our spiritual
bondage and into our inheritance — if only we accept it.
Though God is true to His promises, we still need to
keep crying out to Him for deliverance and waiting in faith and
hopeful expectation to move on our behalf in our
spiritual and our earthly afflictions.
God is not deaf, nor aloof to our suffering. His arm is
not too short to save: “The
righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; He delivers
them from all their troubles.” (Psalm 34:17)
A husband helps his wife navigate the stairs at Masada in Israel.
Let My People Go
Though Moses entered Egypt and delivered God’s message
to Pharaoh, nothing changed immediately.
Pharaoh refused to let the Hebrews go.
Moses might have felt like he failed God, but God
has a greater plan for even our failures, and
they end in glorifying His name.
Through plagues and
judgments (called makot in
Hebrew which can also mean beatings),
God proved His position as the One True God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, and that the gods of the Egyptians were
nothing.
Through these
judgments, we also see that whatever a nation or even an
individual does to Israel, for good or for evil, God
will return it unto them: “For the day of the LORD upon all
the nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to
you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head.”
(Obadiah 1:15; see also Genesis 12:3)
(Obadiah 1:15; see also Genesis 12:3)

Hawara, Egypt.
Parasha Shemot does not end with a mighty
deliverance but, rather, with the situation becoming even
worse — if that were even possible. Pharaoh made
the Israelites’ labor even more difficult by demanding that
they find their own straw, while maintaining the same quota
(Exodus 5:18).
The people turned
on Moses and Aaron in their bitterness. Moses responded
by turning to the Lord. With raw
honesty, Moses asked why He had not delivered His people as
He promised.
“Lord, why have You
brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent
me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he
has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered
Your people at all.” (Exodus 5:22–23)
A Torah scroll is honored by kissing the tzitzit (fringes)
and then touching it to the place where the reading
begins. In Judaism, the Torah must be treated with
the utmost respect. It is taught that whoever honors
the Torah will himself be honored.
We might also feel this way when it seems we
are doing what God has asked us to do, and things get
worse, not better.
How did God respond to Moses? “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Now
you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a
strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he
will drive them out of his land.’” (Exodus 6:1)
Sometimes, when God is preparing to do something great
and mighty in our lives, the situation can worsen for a
time. As we move toward our destiny, pharaoh represents
those who oppress us — even Satan, the spiritual enemy of
our souls, who resists our freedom with all his might.
In such
circumstances, we should not give up our faith, for in
due time we will see God’s mighty hand and outstretched
arm deliver us in His perfect way and time.
“Rejoice in hope, be
patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Romans
12:12)
In these last days as anti-Semitism is once again on
the rise and Israel is beset with those who desire to
destroy her, please pray for the salvation of the Jewish
People.
You can make a difference by helping us bring the Good
News of Yeshua to the Holy Land.
"In this way all
Israel will be saved. As it is written: 'The deliverer
will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from
Jacob.'" (Romans
11:26)
"Israel will be saved by
the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will never
be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting." (Isaiah
45:17)
Shabbat Shalom
from the
Entire Bibles For Israel Family!
The Jewish people (the People of the
Book)Entire Bibles For Israel Family!
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
We expect that the Bible software will be completed
in 14 months - 5777 / 2017. It will revolutionize Christianity
giving the world's 2.1 billion Christians the opportunity to
learn to read the Bible from the original Hebrew of the
Dead Sea Scrolls and Aleppo Codex. We are using Delitzsch's
Hebrew version of the Brit Chadashah or New Testament,
this work is not as important compared to what we are doing
with the Tanakh since the early Believers did not even need
the New Testament to know their Messiah.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His Chosen People;
however, Bible prophecy clearly states that this will never be so.
In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving among His people to
physically and spiritually restore them.
