Parashat 7 Portion 27 – Vayetzei "And he went out"– Ber/Gen 28:10 -29:30 Hosh 12:12-14 Eph 5:5-10


    Once again the opening words of the parasha capture the essence of its instruction- The Hebrew reads: “Yakov went out from the well of seven or of completeness – Bersheva - and walked towards a mountainous or a parched place – Charan” see Strongs 2787.
He went from the place where he received the covenantal blessing of the first born onto a spiritual journey that would teach him the eternal truth of Torah and Messiah.
Everything in the Torah points to and finds its true meaning in the person of Yahshua our Messiah.

If we want to be conformed into the image of our Messiah - the destination Yahveh has called us to,(Rom 8:29) we must be willing to embrace the same kind of path and live and move outside of our comfort zones as our fathers did – Avraham Yitzchak and Yakov.
We see this same pattern followed and taught by our Messiah.
