The Shabbos Parsha is Parashas Shemos , The Second Book of The Holy Torah . The Holy Book Of Shemos Exodus introduces us to a very holy and very humble beloved Prophet Moshe Rabbeinu . The Haftorah for this Sedra is Yeshayahu Isaiah 27 : 6 - 28 : 13 , 29 : 22 - 23 , teaching of the growing of Israel as a holy nation that is descended from our holy Fore-Father Yaakov and how in this Parsha , our holy Jewish nation became a "Shemos " - " Name " and the Sephardic Reading for the Haftorah is in Yirmeyahu 1 : 1 - 2 : 3 and relates to the Torah Reading by teaching of another Prophet That Was Called By HaShem , where Moshe was called as a Prophet in the Parsha . I would really like to take this opportunity to thank Beloved HaShem For Giving me what to write in my Parsha writing every week and this week . Thank You Ever So Much my Beloved HaShem . Yosef became the ruler in Egypt after Pharaoh had passed away . Then after many years Yosef and his brothers passed away , the last one to pass away from that generation was Levi and after they passed on , our people stopped being so careful not to mix with the Egyptian way of life , attending their functions and being less careful to shun their idols , wearing their finery and jewellery no matter what it's pagan connotation . Though we kept our Jewish names there ( also one of the points to why this Parsha is called " Shemos - " Names " for that was a big point where we did not mix with Egyptians in this specific way , by keeping our Hebrew Names ) , some of our people wrongly mixed too closely with Egyptian society and started to forget our Holy Jewish Traditions , sadly like what happens today in our times , where today it is not realized how the use of some secular words and pagan festivals and their words are wrongly so easily used in every day conversation , or when others have their festivals that have origins in pagan Avodah Zorah Idol Worship , such is not allowed By The Laws Of G-D Directly ( Leviticus 19 : 26 ; 20 : 23 ; 18 : 3 and 19 : 27 ; Deuteronomy 12 : 30 ; 14 : 2 ) . The Tribe of Levi though remained Faithful To HaShem and did not assimilate And So they Were Rewarded By HaShem , by not being included in the forced slavery labour in Egypt . HaShem Caused A Miracle To Take Place That the Jewish People were Blessed to become very fruitful , teeming and increasing greatly in the land and also being very physically strong , some families having sextuplets . After Yosef passed away a new King Pharaoh ( believed to have been a king Seti ) was appointed over Egypt , " New " in the form of one who did not remain faithful to the assistance That HaShem Had Given , through Yosef , in saving the country from the Famine and noticing the increase of our people , he called his advisors , for the Egyptian hierarchy constantly spoke to him of their concern that the Canaanites might attack them wanting their money back that they had paid for the grain during the years of famine and seeing that the Jews were from Canaan , the Egyptians feared that we would join the Canaanites and attack Egypt , for Canaan was on one side of Egypt while we in Goshen were on the other and some of the Egyptians feared that they would be stuck in the middle . Of course this fear was unfounded and this Pharaoh tried at first to remind them that it was Yosef , a member of the Jewish people who had helped them but the elite of Egypt would hear nothing of it and they ousted this Pharaoh and for three months Egypt sat without a head ruler . The pressure put on this Pharaoh caused him to change his mind and after the three months , he again ascended the throne with new ideals ( thus was he also called " a new Pharaoh " who did not know the good That HaShem Had Done Through Yosef and our people ) , pro Egypt and Anti - Jewish , so he could keep his position . How often has this sad happening repeated itself through time for us Jews , where foreign nations forget the good we Jews have done and find ways to kick us out or kill us . Bilaam ( Lot's grandson and terrible enemy of the Jews ) , at the time was one of the advisors to Pharaoh who pushed the hatred of the Jews to even higher levels ensuring that Pharaoh institute new decrees against the Jews , like forbidding Circumcision . How often has that happened to our Jewish people through time . They devised a plan to halt the increase of Jews being born and the idea was to separate man and wife by putting men to hard labour day and night . But this did not happen straight away . Pharaoh and Bilaam and the advisors were crafty and deceitful and at first made the call up to work like a big mission for the country as if to pay the country a great service , advertising a new work project for people to volunteer for and pay was offered . It was made to appear very lucrative and Egyptians came streaming in to join . Egyptians were told to tell their Jewish neighbours that Egypt had been very good to them and so they too should show their gratitude by volunteering . To make it look even more like a very important task , Pharaoh himself appeared at the work site with spade in hand and showed how he too would dig and work for this important project . But the Egyptians were deceitful and so the places chosen for the project , Pithom and Raamses , were places full of swampy ground where no building project at the time could possibly succeed or ever get finished and any attempt to build there would be never ending for building structures would constantly topple and fall and thus more hard labour would be put on the Jews . Pharaoh carried on with this supposed mock project for a month where Egyptians would still come and partake but suddenly after the first month , every day there would be fewer Egyptians until only Jews were left working . Suddenly pay for the tasks ended and new task-masters were appointed to oversee that the Jews could not leave and had to continue working or be severely whipped should they even stop for a breather break . The following day , the Jews tried not to go but Pharaoh sent forces to force them out of their homes and so , the years of slavery for us started with a vengeance . Women too were forced to do labour and some of the women were put to hard tasks that were for men . At night the Jews hoped for a reprieve of a small rest but then too were they forced by the individual Egyptians to come and slave in their houses , so Pharaoh and Bilaam's plan to prevent Jewish husband and wife from being together so as to procreate , now was deceitfully in play . Pharaoh saw that no matter how much they slaved , the Jews kept increasing For HaShem Continued His Miracles For us and also the Jewish women would beautify themselves with their mirrors to ensure their husbands would still be with them and our children would still increase . Pharaoh called the Hebrew Midwives Shifrah ( who was Moshe's Ima Yocheved ) and Puah ( who was Moshe's little sister Miryam ) and ordered them to kill every male born , but to keep the female children alive ( and they were ordered to never even tell the Jews what Pharaoh had ordered them to do but to do it secretly ) but they courageously followed HaShem And HaShem's Protection Of our Jewish people and they disobeyed . When Pharaoh called them and asked them why they had not listened to him , they answered that the Jewish women give birth on their own without even the need of a midwife and so the children get born before they even get there . HaShem Rewarded them and increased our people even more . Torah Teaches Of How HaShem In Reward Made them houses and our Rabbonim tell us that this refers to their houses of ancestry where Yocheved became the ancestress of the House of Kohanim Levites and Miryam became the ancestress of the House of Dovid Ha Melech ( Gemorrah Sotah 11b ) Rashi . Pharaoh had a dream that all his soldiers and strong men were tied up and put on one side of a scale while the Jews represented by a single little lamb was on the other side of the scale and the single lamb weighed down the scale thus overpowering the Egyptians . Pharaoh awoke in panic and Pharaoh again called his advisors who were Bilaam , Yisro ( who became Moshe's Father-In-Law ) and Iyov ( Job ) and asked what should now be done . Pharaoh's astrologers had also seen that a redeemer would be born to the Jews and would be destroyed by water . They had seen wrong for Moshe would not be one of the boys thrown into the Nile . The water that they saw incorrectly was Moshe's result for his actions much later on at Massah U' Meriva when he struck the Rock over an issue of Water and so they misunderstood what they thought they saw . Bilaam spoke up and said that it is no use burning them for we survive fire as Avraham did in the Furnace of Ur Kasdim . It is no use fighting us with the sword , for we are very strong and two of our people Simeon and Levi once had decimated a whole city on their own , the city of Shechem , so Bilaam advised that seeing as our G-D Said He Would Not Send another Mabul Flood , we should as boys be thrown into the River , for he believed That HaShem Would Not Punish us or the World again by another Flood . How wrong Bilaam was , For HaShem Had Only Said That There Would Not be another World Flood But HaShem Could Still Send minor floods Or Punish In Many Other Ways . Yisro advised that seeing as we Jews helped the country we should be left alone . Pharaoh was about to order him killed so Yisro left and took with him the Staff that was once Yosef's that had been passed down from Adam , Shais , Noach , Avraham , Yitzchak , Yaakov and then down to Yosef . Iyov , seeing what might happen if he defends the Jews , decided to remain silent and so ended up ( as we see in the Book of Iyov Job ) Being Tested By HaShem . So Pharaoh took the advice of Bilaam and had the male Jewish children thrown into the Nile , but ordered that every female Jewish child be kept alive , for the Egyptian's ugly nefarious purposes . While the Egyptians were trying to destroy the Jews , HaShem Was Already Working On our Redemption and our redeemer Moshe . From the Tribe of Levi , the grandson of Levi who was Amram , was married to Yocheved and they already had two children Aharon and Miryam Miriam , but when Amram who was the head of the Jewish Sanhedrin type - court at the time saw what the Egyptians were doing to the Jewish boys , he thought it was no use for our people to have children who would Chas Ve Shalom be killed , so he divorced his wife and ordered others to do likewise . Yocheved at this time was already three months pregnant with Moshe . Miryam Miriam approached him and told him that his decree was worse than the Egyptians for they wanted to stop only the male Jewish children from being born but his decree would halt even the female children from being born and he acknowledged her wisdom and remarried his wife and ordered the other husbands to do likewise . The Egyptians would bring their babies to cry near our places in Goshen and get them to cry so it would make our babies cry and they could then find out where we might be hiding our little children so they could kill them . Egyptians would also move into houses next door to us in Goshen and spy on us , pretending to be one of us . HaShem Protected us . Pharaoh's astrologers told Pharaoh that the redeemer was still not destroyed and may have a touch of Egyptian connection , for Moshe was brought up among Egyptians and his adoptive Mother , though a Ger Tzaddekes whose name was Basya , was originally born Egyptian and so Pharaoh then decreed that also Egyptian boys were also to be cast into the Nile . How Wise Is HaShem To Have Confused the Egyptian advisors . Yocheved was able to hide the birth of Moshe for as I mentioned earlier , she was already three months pregnant with him when she and Amram remarried and so he was born earlier than the Egyptians would have expected . When he was born , he was named Yekusiel , but he had throughout his life , other names given to him, like Ben Levi , Avigdor , Avi Socho , Avi Zanoach , Tuvia , Moshe , Chavair , Ben Nesanel and Shemaiya ( Midrash Says - Shemos - Rabbi Weissman ) , ten names in all . Thus Moshe in actual fact had ten names throughout his life that he was known as . When Moshe was born , he was born with a light on his face and he was born circumcised and so , Amram his Father praised his little daughter Miryam Miriam for her wisdom and saving of this redeemer for they saw on Moshe's face and by the fact of him being born circumcised that this child would be a Tzaddik and the Redeemer . Yocheved being very wise , knew of the Egyptian's ploys and knew that the advisors of Pharaoh had told him that the redeemer would be destroyed by water and so she ensured that little Moshe would be put onto water so it would look to the Egyptians that he had been cast into the Nile . This was true for as soon as little Moshe's basket touched the Nile , Pharaoh's astrologers told Pharaoh that the Jewish redeemer has been destroyed Chas Ve Shalom and Pharaoh stopped the edict of casting children into the Nile . The very fact that Yocheved could not hide Moshe anymore was due to the fact that it might be counted now that he would have had the nine months to be born and so she took a wicker basket and covered it with clay and pitch and put Moshe in it and set it afloat on the Nile , with Miryam set to watch over it . How Sweet Is HaShem And How Sweet Is HaShem's Holy Workings For it was at that time that Basya , Pharaoh's daughter , who was coming down to the Nile to do her Tevilah , for she was converting to Judaism , that she heard a little baby cry . In actual fact little Moshe was very quiet But HaShem Sent the Malach Angel Gavriel to tap little Moshe on the nose to make sure he would cry out and be heard And By HaShem , Saved and put in the right position he needed to be . How Holy And Sweet And Beautiful Is HaShem . Basya knew that this was a Hebrew boy and called him Moshe for he was drawn out of the water ( and in honour of this special lady that reared him , HaShem Kept this name Moshe for this ever so holy child ) and it was then that Miryam appeared and offered her own Mother Yocheved to rear the child and so little Moshe was brought up by his real Mother in his very early years and he knew full well of his roots and who he was that he was a Jew . Basya told Yocheved to bring Moshe back when he had grown . Thus HaShem Works His Miracles In Ways Beyond our own small intelligence for in the midst of our enemy Did HaShem Secure His Choice Of A Redeemer . Moshe thus grew up in the court of Pharaoh and Pharaoh himself took a great liking to this special child . One day while Moshe was playing on Pharaoh's lap at the table , Moshe took Pharaoh's crown off his head and put it on his own head and went and sat on Pharaoh's throne . This greatly troubled Pharaoh and he again called his advisors Bilaam , Yisro and Iyov to ask what should be done with the child . Bilaam said to kill the boy , Yisro said to save the boy and Iyov again kept silent and Bilaam advised that the boy be tested with a hot piece of coal or precious jewel to test if the boy's previous action was one of knowing . Moshe was about to put his hand toward the precious jewel When HaShem Sent the Malach Angel Gavriel to push his hand toward the coal so as to save his life and so Moshe put the hot coal into his mouth and burnt his mouth and thus was hard of speech . Moshe knew that he was a Jew and so he would go out with his brethren into the brick-pits . He could have continued as a prince , but he chose to suffer with his people . One day he went out and saw an Egyptian task master mercilessly beating a fellow Jew , Dasan . What had happened was that the Egyptian task-master had waited for Dasan to leave and go to work and then the egyptian taskmaster had returned to Dasan's home and proceeded to enter the house and force himself upon Dasan's wife Shelomis . She was known as Shelomis for she would often go out and flirt with males saying hello to everyone in a flirtatious way and sadly even Egyptian ones and on this day Dasan had returned home to find his wife had been abused . Dasan had taken issue with the Egyptian and the Egyptian had beaten him mercilessly . It was then that Moshe arrived and as Torah says " Looked this way and that and saw no man " which according to our holy Rabbonim actually meant that Moshe was able to look forward and backward into this man's generations and see that none of them would be a good person worthy of being called a man and so Moshe pronounced the " Shem Ha Meforash " - " HaShem's 72 Letter Hidden Name and so the Egyptian was struck dead . The following day , Moshe again came across this same Dasan who was arguing with his wife's brother Aviram , for Dasan wanted to divorce his wife but Aviram objected and so Moshe again intervened . This time he was shouted down and asked who had appointed him as a dignitary , ruler and judge over them , which was so prophetic , as this is exactly what Moshe was destined to be and became . It also came up in their words of what he had done to the Egyptian the day before . Moshe realized how the matter was now known and sadly Dasan and Aviram went and told Pharaoh on him , so Pharaoh after investigating the matter , sought his life . The Midrash tells us how Moshe was caught and brought for execution And How Miraculously With HaShem's Help , the blade struck his neck and bounced back and killed the executioner while Moshe escaped unharmed . Thank You Most Beloved HaShem . Moshe fled from Egypt and did not go straight to Midyan Midian , but stopped first with the Cushites and joined forces with King Kokenus . The King had left his palace to attend to certain matters with his soldiers against the Kedemites with whom the Cushites were at war . In the meantime , Bilaam had also made his way with his two sons Yunus and Yumbrus to the same place and had evilly turned the people against their king and they had set up a moat around the city while the king was away and put into the water , reptiles and small dangerous snakes to prevent the king's return . It was at this time that Moshe arrived on the scene . He advised the king to collect birds and send the birds toward the moat where they ate the little snakes and so the king regained entry into his kingdom . Moshe was given rulership after this king died and the king's wife wanted to marry Moshe but Moshe refused and wanted nothing to do with their idol worshiping ways . The queen wanted an idol worshiper on the throne and by now her son Mumcham had grown and he was put as king and Moshe was politely sent off with little thanks . Moshe had left Egypt at the age of twenty seven and now it was forty years later when he finally arrived at the well in Midyan - Midian , making him sixty seven when he got there . Moshe came and saved Yisro's unmarried daughters from the Amelekites who had tried to push them aside at the well . Again we have a holy ancestor meeting his intended at a well , like Eliezer met Rivka who was Yitzchak's intended and Yaakov had met Rachel his intended and Avram had met Sarai at a well . Moshe was first brought to Reuel , who was actually a Father figure of Yisro's daughters but he was actually Yisro's Father and then Moshe was brought before Yisro . When Yisro saw who it was and realized that this is a fugitive from Egypt , Yisro put him in a ward like a cell for ten years and it was Tzipporah who brought him food . After ten years , where Moshe was now seventy seven , Yisro let him out and so he married Tzipporah , whose holy actions were light and holy like a Tzippor Bird and Moshe watched over Yisro's sheep . Yisro had these unmarried daughters as he had tried many religions and found them all false as he did with the Midianite religion and so people did not want to marry his daughters . One day while Moshe was walking in Yisro's field , he saw a staff sticking out of the ground . He pulled it and it came out in his hand . This holy staff had engraved on it The Name Of HaShem and the Hebrew acronym of the Ten Plagues ( DTZ"CH AD"SH B'ACH"V ) That HaShem Would Send Upon Egypt , Engraved long long before this event ever took place , Engraved By HaShem In Adam Ha Rishon's time . Moshe went to Yisro and asked him about this staff and Yisro told him that it was the staff belonging to Yosef that he had taken out of the court of Egypt and that Yisro had stuck part of it into the ground and that no one had ever been able to pull it out again and that it was told then that only the Chosen Redeemer Of G-D would be able to pull it out and so did this true story come down in history and became the story that even touched the legend of king arthur and the sword excalibur . So did Moshe have sons with Tzipporah and they were named Gershom and Eliezer . Yisro had allowed Moshe to marry his daughter as long as Moshe does not return to Egypt . One day while Moshe was pasturing and watching Yisro's sheep , one lamb ran astray and Moshe , being a man who would not lose a single one , for all were important to this very caring man , so Moshe left the flock to go and find the lost one . He found it and carried it all the way back on his shoulders , for he said to it , ' come my little one , you need not be alone , for you are with other sheep and even one will be missed . ' HaShem Watched this beautiful caring scene And Said To Himself , " Such a man that will even go so far as to see that not a single lamb ( Jew ) is lost is certainly the one who should redeem my people and carry to them and teach them My Laws And Torah Commandments . " It was at this time , that a new Pharaoh was now over Egypt , Seti's son Raamses II ( who had grown up with Moshe ) and this man proclaimed himself deified and told people that he had created the Nile . Because of this , HaShem Gave him leprosy and he would go down to the Nile early in the morning to bathe ( early so that no one would see him that he wasn't deified and that he would need the Nile to cleanse himself , for all Egyptians at the time , being so reliant on the Nile for watering the land , had thought too that the Nile was deified , but the Nile was not helping Pharaoh's leprosy - Oh what idol worshipers these people were ) , so this evil Pharaoh had little Jewish children killed and bathed in their blood . It was at this very time when the outcry of these children went up To HaShem , for now the Egyptians had gone too far . It was also at this time that Moshe was pasturing the sheep , when Moshe had gone to save this one little lamb and Moshe being the holy man that he was , was pulled to Har Sinai ( Humble Moshe and this particular unimposing humble mountain were drawn to each other for both were so humble ) , for Moshe found himself at its base . Moshe was called upon to notice that a bush on the mountain was aflame and when Moshe stepped a step closer , Moshe noticed that it was not devoured or consumed . HaShem Knew That Moshe would be attracted by this site For HaShem Had Appeared To Moshe when Moshe was a little boy and even then at a young age Moshe had asked HaShem how come his people are left in bondage and Moshe had compared us to the beautiful foliage and bushes that are being burnt with the fury of slavery . So this bush that was aflame but not being burnt , was a reminder to Moshe that though the nations hurt us and want to destroy us and burn us , we will Be Saved By HaShem and live eternally as a Nation . At First HaShem Instructed the Malach Angel to call to Moshe in his Father Amram's Voice so as not to scare Moshe and so Moshe knew that Amram must have by now passed away and was close To HaShem . HaShem Asked Moshe to remove his shoes for he was standing on Holy Ground . HaShem Introduced Himself Being G-D Of our Fore-Fathers and Moshe hid his face in humility . HaShem Told Moshe How HaShem Had Seen our Affliction in Mitzrayim , Egypt , for the word Mitzrayim meant borders as if locked in for those in Egypt were not allowed to leave unless with Pharaoh's permission and Bilaam had even used negative forces to put a negative force border around Egypt to make it hard to leave , Bilaam doing this so as to try lock The Jews in there , But HaShem Is All Powerful , HaShem Is G-D The One And Only . HaShem Told Moshe How HaShem Would Take us Jews out And Bring us To HaShem's and our Holy Land And HaShem Told Moshe That HaShem Would Dispatch Moshe to Pharaoh And That HaShem Would Take us Out of Egypt , but with trials and Ten Plagues at Pharaoh and Egypt . Moshe replied humbly that he was unworthy . HaShem Assured Moshe That HaShem Would Be With Moshe . Moshe asked what Is HaShem Name And HaShem Responded that he should say " E'h'yeh Asher E'h'yeh " - " I Shall Be As I Shall Be " Sent Moshe . Moshe caught on that the fact that two " Shall Be's " were mentioned , that this showed That HaShem Was Actually Saying to Moshe That " I Shall Be in this exile , As I shall Be in future exiles , " so Moshe realized that this would not be a final redemption for all time for our people and that the Final Redemption would come later in the future and that we would face other future exiles and Moshe mentioned this To HaShem Who Praised Moshe for his compassion And Thus Told Moshe to just mention the freeing from this exile , thus saying As HaShem's Name " I Shall Be Sent me to you . " HaShem Told Moshe How HaShem Would Strike Egypt With All HaShem's Wonders and how they would eventually send us out with great wealth , for all the years of slavery . Moshe continued humbly trying to persuade HaShem that he was not worthy and wrongly showed disbelief in the people not believing in him , So HaShem Showed him the miracle of the staff turning into a snake and the action of putting his hand against his chest and it becoming leprous , not just as a sign for Egypt , but as a show that one must not Loshon or slander others or talk badly of others , like the snake did in Gan Eiden and that punishment for slander is Leprosy Tzaraas . The sign to bring the people to this very mountain and to pour water on the ground in Egypt and it becomes blood , HaShem Also Mentioned To Moshe . Moshe continued to humbly try to Have HaShem Choose another and mentioned his speech impediment And HaShem Reminded him That It Is HaShem Who Makes speech , hearing and sight . Moshe continued to humbly try to step back and said , " Please my L-RD , send through whomever You will send . " Moshe was saying that there must be others more worthy . HaShem Was Angry And Mentioned Aharon , Moshe's brother , who would go with him and assist Moshe for Aharon was already on the way to meet Moshe , For HaShem Also Appeared To Aharon . Because of Moshe's continued disagreeing to be sent , Moshe lost the position of Kohain Gadol High Priest , that was now given to Aharon . HaShem Spoke To Moshe On Har Sinai , while Moshe had continued to humbly try and step back from it , for a period of seven days and after the seven days , Moshe finally had to agree . And so , Moshe returned to Yisro Yeter and asked Yisro to annul Moshe's words to him that he had previously said , that he would not return to Egypt . Moshe told Yisro that the time had come For HaShem To Redeem the Jews , his people , the Children of Israel , from the land of Egypt and so Yisro told him to " Go to peace . " Still Moshe delayed And HaShem Again Appeared to Moshe in Midyan Midian and Told him to return to Egypt for the people that were seeking his life had died . So Moshe took his wife and sons and put them on the donkey and he returned to Egypt And HaShem Told him that he was to tell Pharaoh that Israel Is HaShem's Firstborn Son ( Shemos Exodus 4:22 ) And HaShem Told Moshe Of The Wonders That HaShem Would Perform In Egypt . On the way to Egypt , HaShem Encountered Moshe , for Moshe had not yet circumcised his son Gershom and Tzipporah holy as she was , realized why this encounter was happening and she circumcised her son . Tzipporah was forced to remain with her children for the child had to heal , which is why Moshe had not rushed to circumcise him , himself , as he knew he had to travel . HaShem Appeared To Aharon And Told him to go and to meet his brother Moshe . And so they met and Moshe told him of all the signs and words that were told to him that he could tell his brother . Moshe and Aharon went and gathered the elders and told them the prophetic words that the True Redeemer would tell , remembered through the generations by Serach bas Asher , who was alive in Yosef's time , when Yosef had said what the True Redeemer would come and say , which were corroborated " Pakad - Pakod Pakadti " and so the elders believed in Moshe and Aharon . HaShem Had Instructed Moshe to at first tell Pharaoh that the Jews would go for three days , not at first telling the Egyptians that it would be permanent , because the previous Pharaoh had also not told the Jews at first when they were called to first come for the work project , what the real story was . So Moshe and Aharon went to Pharaoh and at first went with the elders but on the way they saw the lions and other wild animals among the decimated Jewish bodies lying beaten and hurt , but one by one , the elders left in fear and so were the elders made to stand lower at a later time when we all stood at Har Sinai . When Moshe and Aharon came before Pharaoh , they asked Pharaoh to send out the Jewish people to serve G-D in the Wilderness . Pharaoh was in the middle of a festival where other dignitaries from other countries also were visiting and bringing gifts and Pharaoh asked these two men standing tall and filled with light , from whom they come and what gifts they brought him . They said that they come From G-D The Most High and their gift is a message to tell Pharaoh From G-D The Most High And The Only True G-D , ' To Let My People Go . ' Pharaoh responded that he knew not of this G-D and asked his advisors to bring him the book of all the deities names but he could not find HaShem's Name in it . Moshe and Aharon told Pharaoh That HaShem Is Beyond a book and denounces the false and fake deities of the nations in Pharaoh's book , For HaShem Is The One And Only True G-D . Pharaoh was no fool and knew of G-D , but not by the name " Ad-nai , " for his ancestors had known of " El Sh-dai " and so he said that he would not release the people for the three day journey in the wilderness . Pharaoh reprimanded Moshe and Aharon for disturbing the people from their work and Pharaoh ordered that now the brick tally of our people was to be the same but we would no longer be given straw , which was actually kept right near Pharaoh's Palace . Pharaoh ordered that the tally of bricks must remain the same and even ordered that the Levites , who had not worked before , must go to work too . The foremen of our people did not want to put our people in trouble and so they took the brunt of the blame themselves and they were aggressively beaten . For this reason Did HaShem Reward them to become leaders of our people in the Wilderness after we left Egypt . The Jewish foremen , after leaving Pharaoh's presence , after hearing that the tally was to be the same without being given straw to make the bricks and that we were to go looking for straw , encountered Moshe and Aharon and blamed them . HaShem Had Actually Asked Moshe to leave Egypt and return to Midyan as a test to us that we should have Faith In HaShem . Moshe returned To HaShem and blamed HaShem for doing this to the people and questioned HaShem why HaShem Had Sent him and not another . Moshe blamed HaShem for not rescuing the people and this counted against Moshe in the end . HaShem Said to Moshe , " Now you will see What I Will Do To Pharaoh , For Through A Strong Hand Will I Send them out , And With A Strong Hand ( Of HaShem ) , will he ( Pharaoh ) drive them from his land . " So ends the Parsha . This Parsha is called " Shemos " - " Names , " for it is at this very time in our history , that we make a name for ourselves , Acknowledged And Done At This Time By HaShem , for it is at this time that we become a people Unto HaShem , when we go to Har Sinai and we become HaShem's People . It is then that we did what no other nation who was offered HaShem's Torah did , we take G-D And His Laws . Thus , we made a name for ourselves , a name Connected With HaShem Forever . And how did we make this " Shem-ot " - " Name ? " By " Shema Ot " - " Listening To And Hearing " HaShem And HaShem's Commandments . It is then and only then that we are part of this " Shemos " - " Name , " for when people stray from Judaism , Chas Ve Shalom and leave the Faith and intermarry out of the Faith , Chas Ve Shalom , that Judaism is lost to that family line and The Name of that Jewish family line that was Jewish for centuries , is gone or gets lost as a Jew . So we , as a people , made our " Shemos " - " Name , " by becoming a people Unto HaShem and all that comes with that beautiful action of love . Only by following The Holy Torah Of HaShem that we and no other nation chose to accept , do we make a Jewish Name for ourselves . The other nations were offered The Torah first but they refused , all asking what was in it and finding something or some Law or Laws that they refused to keep or that did not agree with them . We on the other hand believed In HaShem in total faith and said " Na'aseh Ve Nishma " - " We will do ( first ) and then we will hear ( why ) . " We did not need to know what was in It first before trusting HaShem and having Faith and Emunah In HaShem , for we accepted It without asking what is in It . We straight away trusted HaShem and Accepted It with love . Thus we made a " Shemos " - " Name " for ourselves and each and every Jew keeps this " Name " as long as we keep The Very Holy Torah we all agreed Spiritually to accept and never let go of at Har Sinai . All Jews , those living at the time , those about to be born and those still to come , even many generations later , as well as righteous Gairim to come , all accepted it , so you , me and all of us Jews , were there accepting HaShem's Torah . Let us never break our word To HaShem And Bless And Thank HaShem Always For Making us A Holy Jew and forever show our gratitude By Following HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah Always , letting HaShem Know that we thank HaShem For Making us a Jew and never straying From HaShem's Holy Torah , All HaShem's Commandments And HaShem's Love .
