  It's a new week. It's a new book of the book of
• 0:03
  Shamat shin #1 Midrash Rabba on the book of Shamat, the first
• 0:07
  pasuk tells us that these are the names of the children of
• 0:09
  Israel who came down to Mitzrayim 8 Yakov together with
• 0:13
  Yakov. The marriage wants to understand
• 0:15
  why. It tells us that they came with
• 0:18
  Yakov. It seems to be an obvious piece
• 0:20
  of information that we learnt previously.
• 0:22
  Why is it telling us this in in this pasuk, the Madras draws our
• 0:26
  attention to a verse in the book of Proverbs chapter 13.
• 0:29
  It's quite a famous verse, this one actually.
• 0:32
  One who spares the rod hates his son Joseph shifter sonneb.
• 0:38
  But if you love your child Shi Haram Musa, you'll discipline
• 0:41
  him in his youth, says the Madras.
• 0:45
  Normal behaviour when a person whose friend says to him so and
• 0:50
  so hits your son goes down to do a battle with the offender even
• 0:55
  it is going to ruin him, you defend your child.
• 0:59
  OK? Such a person feels such hatred
• 1:00
  towards the person who hit his son that he attempts to diminish
• 1:04
  his income by competing against him in his trade, says the
• 1:08
  Madrassic commentators over here.
• 1:10
  Meaning you'll do anything for your child.
• 1:15
  So what does the Madras, what does the pass up mean by telling
• 1:18
  us? Hosak shivtar sonnebena, one who
• 1:21
  spares the rod hates his son. It cannot mean that by not
• 1:26
  hitting his son, it shows that you hate him.
• 1:28
  Obviously not. But the la madraka comes to
• 1:31
  teach. You should call hanmone abena
• 1:33
  minamar Dutt soft Bala tarbut rahat VS son ehu that anyone who
• 1:40
  withholds his son from discipline will end up causing
• 1:45
  his son to stray to the ways of bad society and the father will
• 1:50
  then hate him as a result. So the pasuk means one who
• 1:56
  spares the rod or stop, doesn't punish, will ultimately come to
• 2:01
  despise his son for what his son becomes.
• 2:04
  And here we have the Midrash then brings us some examples.
• 2:07
  Chicane Martino be Ishmael. We find with regard to Yeshmael
• 2:13
  that he was adored by Abraham his father and then Abraham
• 2:19
  didn't discipline him Valori daru and Abraham didn't change
• 2:23
  his behaviour. Fiat salatar Bhutra was not al
• 2:27
  hooverhat siyami beta ricam and Abraham then hated him and sent
• 2:31
  him out the house empty handed. Mao Sai Ishmael.
• 2:36
  So let's expand. What did Ishmael do that was so
• 2:39
  bad? So the Madrid tells us because
• 2:41
  Shayaab Bentettvaavshanam when he was 15 years old, it's
• 2:45
  Kulavid Salem bin Hashukh. He would bring home an idol from
• 2:50
  the marketplace by Ahmed Saheba. He would appear to to mess
• 2:55
  around with it the Avdar while he was actually worshipping it
• 3:02
  like he had seen other people do, which the commentators
• 3:07
  explain. He would pretend as if he was
• 3:10
  making fun of this idol dried them just mocking it, but in
• 3:15
  reality he was worshipping the idol Miyad immediately Vaatera
• 3:22
  sarat sarat Bengamit Sarah saw the son of Haggard the Egyptian
• 3:27
  that he was a mitzak messing around.
• 3:31
  The word mitzak it's used in the context as an allusion to
• 3:35
  idolatry. As it says by the golden calf.
• 3:38
  They got up Litzak. So by word association we
• 3:41
  understand that her concern was that he was worshipping idols
• 3:44
  and immediately she tells her husband get rid of this kid.
• 3:47
  Share my yield Madbeni or katab in case my son Yitzhak learns
• 3:51
  from his ways and then it what it says if I you're out of my
• 3:54
  husband. Avraham was greatly distressed
• 3:58
  regarding his son. He was distressed because he
• 4:00
  smiles straight to the ways of the society and if we think
• 4:03
  about all those backstories of the Madras paints for us how
• 4:06
  painful it was. Abraham achieved so much by
• 4:09
  separating himself from that society gave up so much and went
• 4:13
  through that emotional journey of having to separate himself
• 4:16
  from that community. Have your own son go back and do
• 4:19
  exactly what you had stopped doing.
• 4:21
  Would have been a torturous experience for Avram.
• 4:26
  So let's get a little bit out of the Madrid and discover what was
• 4:29
  where. Where did it go with Ishmael?
• 4:31
  So Yashava Parshadrakhan, he would sit at the crossroads.
• 4:35
  They am a last Teratar briot. He would rob people, as it says.
• 4:38
  For who? Yeah, Para Adam.
• 4:39
  He'll be a wild, wild ass of a person.
• 4:43
  The other examples in this long midrash is 1 is Asav.
• 4:47
  Then we have of Shalom and we just have to come back tomorrow
• 4:50
  to understand the end that our question we started with.
• 4:53
  Why is Yakov mentioned on a pasuk Part 2 Next time?
• 4:56
  For now, have a wonderful day.
