Gen 30:12 And Lĕ’ah’s female servant Zilpah bore Yaʽaqoḇ a second son.
Gen 30:13
And Lĕ’ah said, “I am blessed, for the daughters shall call me blessed.”
So she called his name Ashĕr.
Gen 30:14
And Re’uḇĕn went in the days of
wheat harvest and found love-apples in the field, and brought them to his
mother Lĕ’ah. And Raḥĕl said to Lĕ’ah,
“Please give me some of your son’s love-apples.”
“During the wheat harvest” is possibly a prophetic
secret that unlocks much of the meaning of this parashah.
Passover and Shavuot, most commonly known as the
festivals that commemorate, respectively, the Exodus
and the Giving of the Torah, each also have a
pronounced agricultural element. For those of us who are returning to our
Hebraic roots, these two festivals have profound significance to the Messiah’s
first and second coming. Messiah first comes as the fullness of YHVH’s Word and
will return one day after a mighty outpouring of the “Ruach Ha Kodesh” or the
Set Apart Spirit – see Yoel/Joel 2
Joe 2:29 “And also on the male servants and on the
female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days.
Joe 2:30 “And I shall give signs in the heavens and
upon the earth: blood and fire and columns of smoke,
Joe 2:31 the sun is turned into darkness, and the moon
into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה.
