PARACHAT VAYÉHI -- 30 DÉCEMBRE 2017 / 12 TEVET 5778

Nous souhaitons à nos membres et amis une bonne année 2018 pleine de bonheur et santé

 

Jacob vit les 17 dernières années de sa vie en Égypte. Avant sa mort, il demande à Joseph de faire le serment qu’il l’enterrera en Terre Sainte. Il bénit les deux fils de Joseph, Manasseh et Ephraïm, les élevant au statut de ses propres fils comme fondateurs de tribus au sein du peuple d’Israël.

Le patriarche souhaite révéler la fin des temps à ses enfants, mais il en est empêché. Jacob bénit alors ses fils, attribuant à chacun le rôle de sa tribu : Judah produira des chefs, des législateurs et des rois ; les prêtres viendront de Lévi, les savants d’Issakhar, les navigateurs de Zévouloun, les maîtres d’école de Chimone, les soldats de Gad, les juges de Dan, les producteurs d’olives d’Acher, etc. Ruben est blâmé pour avoir « troublé le mariage de son père », Chimone et Lévi pour le massacre de Chekhem et le complot contre Joseph. Naphtali se voit attribuer la rapidité d’une gazelle, Benjamin la férocité d’un Loup et la beauté et la fertilité sont promises à Joseph.

Un long convoi funéraire composé des descendants de Jacob, des ministres de Pharaon, des nobles de l’Égypte et de la cavalerie égyptienne accompagne Jacob dans son dernier voyage vers la Terre Sainte, où il est enterré dans la grotte de Makhpela à Hébron.

Joseph meurt à son tour en Égypte à l’âge de 110 ans. Lui aussi ordonne que ses ossements soient sortis d’Égypte pour être enterrés en Terre Sainte, mais cela ne se produira que lors de l’Exode des Israélites d’Égypte bien des années plus tard. Avant sa mort, Joseph transmet aux Enfants d’Israël le testament qui sera le ferment de leur espoir et de leur foi dans les difficiles années à venir : « D.ieu se souviendra de vous et vous fera sortir de ce pays vers celui qu’Il a promis par serment à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob. »

Did Pharaoh speak Hebrew? The Midrash says, no.

During the dialogue between Ya’akov and Yosef at the time of his death Ya’akov makes Yosef swear that he will bury him in Israel. It is unclear from the text why Ya’akov make Yosef swear that he would bury him in Canaan. We imagine that Ya’akov should have trusted Yosef his son and would not have obligated him to swear.

He trusted Yosef but he was worried that Pharaoh would not allow Yosef to leave Egypt. This way, if Yosef swore, then Pharaoh would have to let him keep his word. The Gemara (Sota 37b) teaches that when Yosef was first appointed Viceroy of Egypt, Pharaoh tested him to see if he knew how to speak every language. Yosef not only knew all the languages that Pharaoh knew, but he also knew Hebrew, which Pharaoh did not know. Pharaoh made Yosef promise that he would never tell anyone that he knows more languages than Pharaoh. So, when Yosef told Pharaoh that he promised his father he would take his body to Canaan, Pharaoh told him to cancel the promise. Yosef answered him: “If I cancel the promise to my father, I will also cancel the promise I made to you.” Pharaoh was then forced to allow Yosef to leave Egypt.
