Welcome to today's enlightening insights.
When Moses saw an Egyptian man striking a Jewish individual, he was confronted with a moral crisis. Elevated to a position of high authority as the chief of staff over Pharaoh's house, Moses had a unique vantage point. His decision to intervene and ultimately kill the Egyptian was not taken lightly; it was a reflection of his commitment to justice, despite knowing that none of his descendants would rise to greatness.
However, Moses's actions had unintended consequences. His concern for his people, Israel, was deepened when he realized that there were informants among them willing to betray their own. This betrayal led to his arrest and near execution. Through divine intervention, Moses escaped, finding refuge in Midian, where he settled by a well—a place that would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life.
In the backdrop of these personal trials, the broader narrative of Israel's suffering continued. The verse "Vayehi it came to pass by Yomimi Morabi Mahaim" captures the essence of those harrowing times. The death of the cruel Pharaoh, notorious for murdering Jewish infants, signaled a turning point. It was the dawn of a long-awaited era, the prelude to the liberation of the children of Israel from the harsh bondage of Egypt.
