In this week\u2019s reading from Parashat Vayeshev (Shemot \/ Genesis 37:1-40:23<\/span><\/em>) we learn that Jacob loved Joseph more than his brothers (37:3<\/span><\/em>, \u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d0\u05b8\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05e1\u05b5\u05e3 \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e0\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5).\u00a0 Joseph had a dream about his future (37:5-10<\/span><\/em>) told his brothers and they became jealous (37:11<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 As the narrative continues, Joseph\u2019s brothers are plotting murder in their hearts (37:18-22<\/span><\/em>) but instead put him into a pit (37:23<\/span><\/em>) and then sell him into slavery to the Ishmaelites (37:27-29<\/span><\/em>). This week\u2019s parashah primarily discusses Joseph the eleventh son born to Jacob and the first born of Rachael.\u00a0 The narrative tells us that Jacob showed Joseph favoritism over his brothers (\u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d0\u05b8\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05e1\u05b5\u05e3 \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e0\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d1\u05b6\u05df-\u05d6\u05b0\u05e7\u05bb\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd) saying that he loved him more.\u00a0 This favoritism led to Jacob using Joseph to bring him news of his brothers, whether good or bad.\u00a0 Though Joseph was spoiled by Jacob, he walked in righteousness (\u05d5\u05bc\u05e6\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4) and justice (\u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05d8) more so than his brothers.\u00a0 The Scriptures tell us that the Lord was with Joseph (\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05e1\u05b5\u05e3 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05de\u05b7\u05e6\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05d7\u05b7) prospering him and preparing him for the future survival of Israel.\u00a0 This weeks reading from the MT, the Aramaic Targum, and Midrash Rabbah we find an interesting insight into the counsel of God.<\/p>\n \u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05dc\u05d6<\/strong> Bereshit \/ Genesis 37:12-17<\/span><\/em><\/strong> According to the narrative, Joseph\u2019s brothers were pasturing their flocks in Shechem.\u00a0 Previously in Parashat Vayishlach, Simeon and Levi killed all of the men living in the city of Shechem after having tricked them into being circumcised.\u00a0 The people of Shechem hoped to take the wealth of Israel (Note that this is synonymous to performing a work of the flesh in the hope of receiving a blessing from the Lord in heaven).\u00a0 Jacob moved away from Shechem following the rape of Dinah and the murder of the men of Shechem.\u00a0 However, the sons of Jacob continued to return to Shechem to feed their flock.\u00a0 Based upon the narrative, they continue to return to a place of sexual sin and death to feed their flock.\u00a0 Jacob obviously is worried about his sons and the Torah indicates that Jacob did not know where they were and neither did Joseph.\u00a0 While looking for his brothers, Joseph happens upon a man in the field and he asks the man where his brothers are feeding their flocks.\u00a0 The man tells him that they went to Dothan and so Joseph found his brothers at Dothan.<\/p>\n The Aramaic Targum Pseudo Jonathan has the following to say regarding Joseph\u2019s journey to find his brothers.<\/p>\n Targum Pseudo Jonathan, Bereshit \/ Genesis 37<\/span><\/em><\/strong> And Joseph arose, and came to Shekem. And Gabriel in the likeness of a man found him wandering field. And the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? And he said, I seek my brothers; show me, pray, where they feed. And the man said, They have journeyed hence: for I heard beyond the Veil, that behold from to\u2011day would begin the servitude to the Mizraee; and it was said to them in prophecy, Hivee would seek to set battle in array against them. Therefore said they, we will go unto Dothan.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Based upon the Aramaic Targum, Jacob (Israel) did know where his sons were feeding their flock and he was afraid that they would be attacked and so he sent Joseph to bring back word how they are doing.\u00a0 The rabbis say that Jacob asked Joseph to bring him word to the \u201cdeep Counsel.\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 The Targum goes on to say that he (Jacob) sent him according to the \u201cdeep counsel\u201d<\/span><\/em> which was spoken to Abraham at Hebron.\u00a0 What is this \u201cdeep counsel\u201d<\/span><\/em> the rabbis are referring to here in the Targum text?\u00a0 The Targum continues saying that Joseph rose and went to Shekem and there he met the angel Gabriel wandering in the field.\u00a0 The angel asked him what he was looking for and Joseph said he seeks his brothers.\u00a0 The angel responds saying that he \u201cheard beyond the veil\u201d<\/span><\/em> of the enslaving of Israel in Egypt, of a prophetic message (given to Abraham), and that they had traveled on to Dothan.\u00a0 The angel is speaking of Bereshit \/ Genesis 15:13<\/span><\/em> when \u201cGod said to Abram, \u201cKnow for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.\u201d (NASB)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Based upon the Tanach, we find throughout the Scriptures terminology and imagery that depict God as the enthroned King who is surrounded by powerful supernatural creatures.\u00a0 In the books of Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel for example, we find that God gives divine counsel enthroned above in heaven.\u00a0 These counsel sessions, or throne visions, focus upon the Lord\u2019s authority in heaven and on earth to make decisions, judgments, and to show mercy and forgiveness.\u00a0 The counsel terminology and imagery that occurs throughout the Scriptures illustrates the enduring place that the counsel of God has within Israel\u2019s faith.\u00a0 Based upon the vision given to Abraham in Bereshit \/ Genesis 15:13<\/span><\/em>, Israel believes in the reality of God\u2019s counsel, indicated by the Targum translation that Jacob sent Joseph according to the deep counsel.\u00a0 One of the ancient ways to describe God\u2019s authority is in His divine counsel which often conveys a theological message, like what we find here in the Targum on the power of God to save His people having foreknowledge that Joseph was going into slavery at this appointed time, and it is the Lord who was sending him for the purpose of the future salvation of all of Israel.\u00a0 The counsel and angelic beings testify to God\u2019s power and presence in the world and in the lives of His people.\u00a0 Likewise, in the inter-testimental period, the period of the Dead Sea Scrolls, are many writings of throne and apocalyptic visions, and there is much interest in the divine counsel.\u00a0 References to angelic beings are so numerous, every instance can hardly be cited.\u00a0 In biblical fashion, God\u2019s angels offer praises to the Lord, deliver messages to mankind, and intercede and interpret on behalf of man.\u00a0 These angels ultimately fight in the final eschatological war against evil, the fallen angels, and wicked mankind (see the book of Revelation<\/em>).\u00a0 In the Targum Pseudo Jonathan, the rabbis make reference to the deep counsel, which is obviously a reference to the divine counsel of God according to the vision given to Abraham of the enslavement of Israel in Egypt.<\/p>\n Midrash Rabbah Bereshit, Parashat 84, Part 14<\/span><\/em> has the following to say about Joseph\u2019s search for his brothers.<\/p>\n Midrash Rabbah Bereshit, Parashat 84, Part 14<\/span><\/em><\/strong> \u05de\u05d3\u05e8\u05e9 \u05e8\u05d1\u05d4 \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea \u05e4\u05e8\u05e9\u05d4 \u05e4\u05d3 \u05e1\u05d9\u05de\u05df \u05d9\u05d3<\/strong> The midrash states that Joseph was met by three angels, derived from the Hebrew text that \u201ca man found him\u201d<\/span><\/em> (\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1), then \u201cthe man asked him\u201d<\/span><\/em> (\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05dc\u05b5\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1), and \u201cthe man said\u201d<\/span><\/em> (\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1).\u00a0 The three occurrences of the word \u201cman\u201d<\/span><\/em> leads to this sort of interpretation that is based upon the Aramaic Targum.\u00a0 The midrash has the angels traveling with Joseph to Dothan and the rabbis comment saying \u201cFor such are the designs of the Almighty\u201d<\/span><\/em> indicating that all of these things are within the plan of God.\u00a0 As Joseph approaches his brothers, their plan however is to kill him.\u00a0 The concept put forward in the midrash is that Joseph\u2019s brothers thought him to be a dreamer, which is interpreted to mean that he will enslave them to serve foreign overlords (the Egyptians) therefore the brothers plan to kill him.\u00a0 The Lord God on the other hand has other plans, and the midrash concludes saying \u201cSaid the Holy One blessed be He, to them, You say, And we will see, and I say, We will see, indeed, we will see whose words will be fulfilled.\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 The Lord\u2019s plans will be what comes true; the Lord works to bring to completion his plan regardless of the plans of mankind.<\/p>\n This week\u2019s study, based upon the Aramaic Targum and Midrash Rabbah introduces an important concept of \u201cthe counsel of God.\u201d\u00a0 In the Apostolic Writings, the Apostle Paul also wrote of the counsel of God in Acts 20:25-30<\/span><\/em> in his warning to the believers.<\/p>\n Acts 20:25-30<\/span><\/em><\/strong> 25 \u039a\u03b1\u1f76 \u03bd\u1fe6\u03bd

rewards and punishments, and the danger of false teachers, all of these things are consistent from a Torah perspective.\u00a0 Paul states that he did not forbid to declare all the counsel of God.\u00a0 This is a reference to the counsel of God being all of Scripture, the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings, and the message of the Messiah Yeshua and his saving power.\u00a0 In Parashat Vayeshev, we read from the Aramaic Targum that Jacob sent Joseph by the deep counsel, or by the counsel of God.\u00a0 The counsel of God is the message of His word.\u00a0 The importance of God\u2019s word as a guide for our lives is illustrated in the angel Gabriel\u2019s statement when he said, \u201cI heard beyond the Veil, that behold from to\u2011day would begin the servitude to the Mizraee; and it was said to them in prophecy, Hivee would seek to set battle in array against them.\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 Jacob listened and believed the word of the Lord that was spoken from the vision given to his grandfather Abraham.\u00a0 Similarly, God gave our Fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) His word to instruct us in righteousness and truth and of His Messiah Yeshua our Savior.\u00a0 It is the duty of God\u2019s people to listen with respect and with a desire to know the truth and to be saved by that truth.\u00a0 When we seek the Lord according to His word in the Scriptures, we are seeking the counsel of God.\u00a0 In addition to this, when we speak the word of God, from the Scriptures, we are declaring the counsel of God.\u00a0 This counsel of God (the Scriptures) should have an enduring place within our faith and lives.\u00a0 The Torah portion reveals to us that God\u2019s plan is revealed in His counsel for truth and for life.\u00a0 His counsel is all of Scripture which is given ultimately for the Salvation of His people.\u00a0 Now, let\u2019s take God\u2019s word seriously because He may be telling us something that will effect many generations to come.
