Parashat 11 Portion 42 Vayigash – Ber 44:18-46:27 Yehoshua 14:6-15 Luke 24:13-27



Vayigash - ויגש : "And he came near" Root in Hebrew is “nagash” and speaks of intimacy.
Prophetic Message of Vayigash.

There is a prophetic context for this week’s Torah portion. Last week the title of the portion was “Miketz” which means “at the end” this week’s portion is titled “ Vayigash” which means “and he drew near”; the following  Torah portion (12) is titled “va yechi” which is the last portion of Beresheet and it means “ and he lived”. So we can say “at the end Yahudah will draw near and he (we) will live”
     Isa 46:9  “Remember the former events of old, for I am Ěl, and there is no one else – Elohim, and there is no one like Me,
     Isa 46:10  declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not yet been done, saying, ‘My counsel does stand, and all My delight I do,’

“There comes a time to make known what has been hidden”
