Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 43:23-28
We left of last week with the brothers, the sons of Israel (Jacob), arriving in Mitsraim (Egypt). They had tried to make good on the failed payment for their previous grain purchases.
This week's reading reveals a one hundred and eighty degree turn in their treatment by the ruler's house as they wait for the ruler to arrive at home. They see their brother Simeon and he is well. The overseer blamed the money mistake on God, saying maybe your God had put the money in the sacks.
Joseph arrives and his brothers again bow down to him, as the dream that angered them years prior is fulfilled, and Joseph asks, le-shalom va-yomer ha-shalom avichem? (as to the welfare and he said wellness of your father?) and he asked them if he was still alive. They bowed down again. I assume that their bowing indicated that he was. The text does not state that they answered verbally.
The brothers were not sure if the crass treatment they had received the last time would still be the case now. They may have been trying to mimic the cultural norms that were known about not looking upon the face of Pharaoh, then transposing that cultural norm regarding this ruler of Egypt.
I used to make videos in which I read the Hebrew passages of my posts. They were hosted on a site that has now deleted them all. Since then I have been waiting for a trustworthy site to emerge, any site that is not youtube, where I can again do that. My goal is to have a record of my efforts to help others learn Hebrew as I did. I learned from reading the original texts. I try to keep censorship from destroying the continuity of my posts as well. I hope that does not happen here. Shalom!
Today's reading
English
He replied, "Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them. And when the man had brought the men into Joseph's house and given them water, and they had washed their feet, and when he had given their donkeys fodder, they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground. And he inquired about their welfare and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?" They said, "Your servant our father is well; he is still alive." And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.

The story continues next week as Joseph sees his little brother...

What about Israel, thousands of Palestinians Shaheed?
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/18/mapping-israeli-occupation-gaza-palestine
The government has stated that it is "Our 9/11" and I believe Gaza will be our Iraq. The government does not represent every person. We have Arabs and Palestinians in the Knesset. They are our waiters and accountants. We live at peace with those who are civil. "Hamas" is a Hebrew word that means "violence".
I hope America does not level Mexico if the call that went out two days causes something similar in your country. I hope to write something on that soon.
I didn't know that:
But the group that's called Hamas uses the Arabic term"حماس" and not in Hebrew. It usually means "enthusiasm" or intense excitement.

And my answer.
Any humanity in You? In my words all peoples are humans and all are equal... some people like you and your country made conflict... also Arabs and Palestinians are not your waiters and accountants you are... Their land has been occupied by deception/fraud... I watched realty by your comment.

Please exclude me from future posts.
I'm on everyone's side and against political rubbish. That's why we are so easy to manipulate - so governments can encourage us to fight with each other over concepts and philosophies. Insanity!
We are all the same. We all want the same thing - to live in peace <3
War is big money, you know.
Anything that divides us is dangerous!
Please don't include me in political discussions, for me it's useless. The hive platform is a general platform. Please don't pollute it with misleading political and ideological discussions.
Please remove him from this list @hutojavo , I dislike this and I do not want to be tagged in discussions of this type since I am receiving notifications from someone I do not know, in discussions in which I am not interested in participating.
I request that my name be removed from this publication or from any future publication that you make related to these topics that are not of my interest.
