We begin this book with the list of the Names of the children of Yisra’ĕl who came with Ya’aqoḇ to Mitsrayim; and what is interesting to take note of here is that this list of names is not given in order of their births, which in itself may at first be confusing, yet we find a great message that is given clearly in the meaning of these names being listed in this order

1 – Re’uḇĕn - ןֵׁ ובּאְׁ ר - Strong’s H7205 – ‘behold a son’
2 – Shim’on - וןֹעְׁ מִׁ ש - Strong’s H8095 – ‘heard’
3 – Lĕwi – יִׁ וֵׁ ל – Strong’s H3878 meaning, ‘joined to’.
4 – Yehuḏah - הָ ודּהְׁ י - Strong’s H3063 – ‘praised’
5 – Yissasḵar - רָ שכָ שִׁ י - Strong’s H3485 – ‘there is recompense’ (9th born)
6 - Zeḇulun - וןּולּבְׁ ז - Strong’s H2074 – ‘exalted’ (10th born)
7 – Binyamin יןִׁ מָיְׁ נִׁ ב - Strong’s H1144 – ‘son of the right hand’ (12th born)
8 – Dan - ןָ ד - Strong’s H1835 – ‘judge’ (5th born)
9 – Naphtali - יִׁ לָ תְׁ פַנ - Strong’s H5321 – ‘wrestling’ (6th born)
10 - Gaḏ - דָג - Strong’s H1410 – ‘troop’ (7th born)
11 - Ashĕr - רֵׁ שָ א - Strong’s H836 – ‘joyful one’ (8th born)

BEHOLD A SON OF WHOM WE HAVE HEARD AND HAVE BEEN JOINED TO IN ORDER TO GIVE PRAISE TO HIM IN WHOM THERE IS RECOMPENSE; HE IS THE EXALTED SON OF THE RIGHT HAND AND IS THE JUDGE, WHOSE WRESTLING FOR THE TROOP BRINGS FORTH JOY

Too soon ?

Shabbat Shalom / Happy Sabbath everyone!

Try not to get fixated on the shiny thing in the left hand of the #media and #government and not look at what the right hand is doing behind their back. #distractions
