Vayashev: And He Dwelled Beresheet 37:1-40:23 Haftarah: Amos 2:6-3:8

Brit: Acts 7:9-16

First, let us establish a bit of background before we plunge intothis weeks Parsha. In Beresheet(Genesis) Chapter 28:4 when Isaac gives Jacob the blessing of the birthright we read,

And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, andto thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land

wherein thou art a stranger , which God gave unto Abraham.And Isaac sent away Jacob:and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the

Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.(Gen 28:4-5 KJV)

It is also a truth that much of this portion issymbolically prophetic of our Messiah, and ourselves as will be seen shortly; but take special noticeas we explorethese verses were always reading about walking in a

certain, returning to a certain place to dwell with ourHeavenly Father in communion with Him. We read,

Now Jacob lived in the land where his fatherhad sojourned, in the land of Canaan.

(Gen 37:1 NAS)

Our lead character for the last few portions is now inhis old age, and we find him living as a sojourner, like hisfatheraware of the fact that all of his youthful ambitionsspent wandering, seeking to obtain things that may givethe appearance of satisfaction and status are but futilepursuits, as man himself is but a vapor. He understandsnow that this journey is an opportunity on this side of

eternity to learn how to live a life of faith in our Creator,trusting in His plan to have a covenantal relationship withHis people, and all who would come to Him so that Hecould not just dwell among but in us as well.

I am looking for Messiahand I am desperate to seeThe Hand of my Heavenly Father, and His character at work in His people. My hope is that we will be able to

recognize these patterns and typically commonplacesymbols that The Father continually places out in front ofus reveal Himself, to draw us back to Him, and to gain aheart-knowledge if you will so we can be changed as wepursue His Teaching together.

And it is here in this opening verse of this portion that

we observe YisraEl, or Yaakob, now transformed moreinto the beloved Patriarch we as his descendants havecome to admire and respect. It says he lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.The word here for lived, or dwelled is where we get thename of our portionVayeshev. The root word of such isfrom Strongs# H3427 and it is

Yashab-as to sit down as to judge, to dwell, to abide. Againnotice the 2-letter root word found in our parshas titleShub, which means to turn, or to return

The shin is a picture of two front teeth represented asPressing, and the bet is a picture of the tent. Combined

pictographically it means to Press to the tent, as a placeof dwelling as the place that is returned to.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into aplace which he should after receive for an inheritance,


4/32

obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise , as in astrange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and

Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For helooked for a city which hath foundations, whose builderand maker is God. ( Heb 11:8-10 KJV )

There the word we read in the Greek for dwelling istaken from Strongs# G2730

!"#$%!!

& : Kat-oy-keh-o from G2596 andG3611; to house permanently, i.e. reside (lit. or fig.)dwell, properly signifies to settle down in a dwelling.Besides its literal sense, it is used of the indwelling of thetotality of the attributes and powers of the Godhead inChrist; ref. Col 1:19; 2:9, and Eph. 3:17.

!

For it pleased the Father that in him shouldall fulness dwell ; (Col 1:19 KJV)

! For in him dwelleth all the fulness of theGodhead bodily. (Col 2:9 KJV)

! That Christ may dwell in your hearts byfaith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

(Eph 3:17 KJV)If we trace the word to its root in Strongs# G3611, we read


5/32

5

$ "! ! & : oy-keh-o; to occupy a house, i.e. reside, tocohabit. To inhabit as ones abode. It is used (1) of God asdwelling in light, 1 Tim. 6:16; (2) of the indwelling ofthe Spirit of God in the believer, Rom. 8:9, 11, or of thechurch, 1 Cor. 3:16.

! But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if anyman have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

!

10

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because ofrighteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised upJesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised upChrist from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Rom 8:9-11 KJV)

It is most interesting to note that a search ofthe Concordance to the Septuagint proves that the wordused for Christ dwelling in our hearts, by faithis theexact same word used for Jacob dwelling in the land of hisfather Isaac. Jacobhas learned to walk by faith! Our man Yaakob, in the sunset of his lifeafter having wrestled andcoming to the end of himself, has learned to walk in thesame path that his father Isaac walked, who walked in the way of his father Abraham, who walked in the way of all of

13 They on the rock are they , which, when they hear,receive the word with joy; and these have no root, whichfor a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with caresand riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit toperfection.

15 But that on the good ground are they, whichin an honest and good heart, having heard the

word, keep it , and bring forth fruit with patience.

The word for Land is taken from Strongs#H776

!"#"$ : eh-rets: from an unused root prob. Mean. To befirm; the earthland, country, ground. Land is divided upinto fragments by tribe or nations.

#! : The 2-letter root word from eretz, or land, is Retzand it means To Crush, as a Potsherd, and as a desire.Broken pieces of pottery were commonly used as writing

tablets as they were inexpensive and durable. Thepotsherds were commonly used to send messages fromone person to another, usually carried by runners.

Interestingly, the land finds its origin in the same wordused for potsherd, to crush, and desire. It is here we recognize


8/32

the connection between our heartand GODs eretz, a blessed potsherdbroken but redeemed for the express purpose that HEwill faithfully inscribe HIS message, HIS Teaching UPON OUR

HEART.

! Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, andstretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and thatwhich cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the

people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6 I the

LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will holdthine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenantof the people, for a light of the Gentiles; (Isa 42:5-6 KJV)

! I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even myhands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosthave I commanded. (Isa 45:12 KJV)

! O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast

thou made them all: the earth is full of thyriches

.(Psa 104:24 KJV)! Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this

grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles theunsearchable riches of Christ ; (Eph 3:8 KJV)

! But my God shall supply all your need according to hisriches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phi 4:19 KJV)

! To whom God would make known what is the riches ofthe glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which isChrist in you, the hope of glory : (Col 1:27 KJV)

! Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater richesthan the treasures in Egypt : for he had respect unto

the recompence of the reward. (Heb 11:26 KJV)

! And my personal favorite That he would grant you,

according to the riches of his glory ,

to be strengthened with mightby his Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith ;that ye, being rooted and grounded in

love , May be able to comprehend with all saintswhat is the breadth, and length, and depth, and

height;19

Andto know the love of Christ , which passeth knowledge,

that ye might be fi l led with all the fulness ofGod

(Eph 3:18-19 KJV) (Eph 3:16-17 KJV)

One of the reasons we appreciate Jacob so much is, becausehavent we, like him in his youth and into adulthood, have tolearn through experience that for all his hustle, all his guile anddeception was for naughtand good thing too! How tragic it isto be the one with a thorny heart, who only after theopportunity had died, realized we were responsible for choking

the one beautiful thing that could truly bring life to our orphanedheart. Thank GOD we serve a Creator who doesnt abidefaraway in the outer depths of the cosmos, light years away

but rather loved us so much, that HE would offer HIS ONLY


10/32

10

SONto die, for us, so that we could be restored back intosweet redemption...with HIM.

This Torah portion has everything to do with the heart and thankfully Jacob is now walking with YHWH, trusting HisPromisestending his heart like Adam did in the garden beforethe fall as we read in Genesis 3:8

Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the

garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it . (Gen 2:15 NAS)In the Hebrew the phrase we read there for Cultivate and Keep is

:%'() &*'+,- %&.' /&0'+ Leovda oolshomra

Perhaps you can hear the root words there, they areabad, and shema; of their list of meanings I appreciateabads meaning to till, and to plow. Of the word Shema, weunderstand from the Shema prayer, as it means to keep watch, to guard, and to preserve.

G a n E d ea n E d e nGan = meaning Garden, Protection:


11/32

11

The pictograph (gimel) is a picture of a foot andmeans to walk with an extended meaning to gather. Then(nun) is a picture of sprouting seed. Combined these

mean a gathering of seeds. A garden is a place forgrowing crops and is often surrounded by a rock wall orhedge to protect it from grazing animals.

*Remember-The Seed is the Word of GOD. Where*does The Seed go?

Eden= (ayin dalet nun) S#5731Comes from S#5727 or adan, meaning to soft, or

pleasant, to delight themselves; Delight, pleasure. Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also inHim, and He will do it. (Psa 37:4-5 NAS)

The word in Hebrew for Delight used in Psalm 37:4 isfrom Strongs#6026

to be soft or pliable, (fig.) effeminate or luxuriousdelight; delicate. Do you recognize any similarity betweenthis Hebrew word and the one just above for Eden in the Ancient pictographic text? They share a common two-letter root wordAyin Nun

!" = Ahn- meaning to watch, an eye, or affliction.The pictograph combined means eye of continuance. The


12/32

12

nomadic agriculturist carefully watches over his livestockand crops by keeping a close eye on them. It was commonto construct a shelter consisting of a roof on four posts, as

a shelter from the glare of the sun. If we examine our wordEden, we have an eye of continuance on what? Thecentral Hebrew letter in Eden is a DaletWho is THEDOOR? YESHUA!!! Which is why read in Psalm 37:4 thatif we Delight ourselves in THE LORD, which is ourMessiah Yeshua, then He will give us the desires of ourheart. What would those be? The Fruit born as a result ofstaying rooted in, cultivating, watching over andpreserving the WORD of GODthese are theunsearchable riches we read about about in Ephesians3:16-17 found in the heart that is rooted in Christ! Again,these are the word pictures The Father has chosen toreveal His Love and Plan for man.

! Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and myfortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction,the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the endsof the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers haveinherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there isno profit.

! Ezekiel 20:18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of yourfathers, neither observe their judgments, nordefile yourselves with their idols:


13/32

13

! Proverbs 22:28 Remove not the ancientlandmark, which thy fathers have set.

! Proverbs 23:10 Remove not the old landmark;and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

! John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as Ihear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because Iseek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

!

John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: theFather hath not left me alone; for I do alwaysthose things that please him.

This is why YHWH promises a specific piece ofproperty, as it represents a heart that is set apart from

idols, from filth, from vain tradition, from mixed

forms of worshipit represents a good fruitful heartprotected by the landmarks/boundaries set by YHWHas prescribed for us in His Torah, who is YESHUA in

you The hope of Glory (Col. 1:27)

Let us now read Beresheet (Genesis 37:2-11):

In verse 2 we read that Joseph brought to his fatheran evil report of his brothers. Notice however the wordinghere in Hebrew

Et-dibatam raah


14/32

14

! H1681 %,/,. dibba !h from H1680 slander: defaming,

evil report, infamy, slander .

In other words, Joseph did not bring just an evilreport back about his brothers, but he brought back anevil, slanderous report. Its the exact same type of reportthe 10 spies brought back after Moshe had sent them tospy out the land.

! And they brought up an evil report of the land whichthey had searched unto the children of Israel, saying,The land, through which we have gone to search it, isa land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and allthe people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

! 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,which come of the giants: and we were in our ownsight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.(Num 13:32-33 KJV)

! And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation tomurmur against him, by bringing up a slander uponthe land,

!

37

Even those men that did bring up the evil reportupon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.(Num 14:36-37 KJV)

An evil report doesnt have to be false

! 15 "Moreover, if your brother commits a sin against you, go and show him his fault- but privately, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have

won back your brother.! 16 If he doesn't listen, take one or two others with you

so that every accusation can be supported by thetestimony of two or three witnesses.

! 17 If he refuses to hear them, tell the congregation;and if he refuses to listen even to the congregation,treat him as you would a pagan or a tax-collector.(Mat 18:15-17 CJB)

DONT FORGET:! The first to state his case seems right, till the other

one comes and cross-examines.

! 18 Casting lots puts an end to strife and separatespowerful disputants.

! 19 It is harder to win an offended brother than a strongcity; their fights are like the bars of a fortress.

! 20 A person's belly will be filled with the fruit of his

mouth; with what his lips produce he will be filled.! 21 The tongue has power over life and death; those

who indulge it must eat its fruit. (Pro 18:17-21 CJB)

Crow Aint Kosher YallIf you are going to have to eat your wordsthe point then

Evil speaking affects our faithfaith cometh by hearing, but it works in both realms, that of lifeand death. So becareful the words you speak. Evil speaking reveals whatsalready in your heart

!

The good person produces good things from the storeof good in his heart, while the evil person producesevil things from the store of evil in his heart. For hismouth speaks what overflows from his heart.(Luk 6:45 CJB)

! 26 Anyone who thinks he is religiously observant but

does not control his tongue is deceiving himself, andhis observance counts for nothing.

! 27 The religious observance that God the Fatherconsiders pure and faultless is this: to care fororphans and widows in their distress and to keeponeself from being contaminated by the world.(Jam 1:26-27 CJB)

! Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

! 16 The way that we have come to know love is throughhis having laid down his life for us. And we ought tolay down our lives for the brothers!

Here is how we will know that we are from the truthand will set our hearts at rest in his presence:(1Jo 3:15-19 CJB)

So here we see Joseph, Jacobs heir apparent,seventeen and finely appareled in his Coat of ManyColors. Aside from the slanderous reports Joseph brought


19/32

19

his father, he walked about in a special coat Jacob hadmade him. The significance of the coat is not necessarilyfound in the fact that Jacob made Joseph a coat and not

one for his brotheralthough Scripture does not expressit, it is possible the brothers may have had one as well. Butthe significance lie in what the coat represented.

! 18 And she had a garment of divers colours upon her:for with such robes were the king's daughters thatwere virgins apparelled. (2Sa 13:18 KJV)

! Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; toevery man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of diverscolours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, ofdivers colours of needlework on both sides, meet forthe necks of them that take the spoil? (Jdg 5:30 KJV)

! 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and hadcompassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissedhim.

! 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinnedagainst heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

! 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe , and put it on him; and put a ring on hishand, and shoes on his feet: (Luk 15:20-22 KJV)


20/32

20

In a small study, we find the word used here for best inthe Greek comes from Strongs #4413:

'( # #$) protos {pro'-tos} Meaning: 1) first intime or place 1a) in any succession of things or persons 2)first in rank 2a) influence, honour 2b) chief 2c) principal3) first, at the first .

As just seen in Luke 15:22, speaking of the Best Robe.Protos is the same root word found in Matthew 1:25

! Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angelof the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forthher firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.(Mat 1:24-25 KJV)

The word here in this verse for firstborn comes fromStrongs#4416:

'( $ #$!$) prototokos {pro-tot-ok'-os}Meaning: 1) the firstborn 1a) of man or beast 1b) ofChrist, the first born of all creation.

Origin: from 4413 and the alternate of 5088; TDNT -6:871,965; adj

Usage: AV - firstborn 7, first begotten 2; 9

highlights his immaturity: he brought slanderous reortsabout his brothers to his father without realizing thepossible dire consequences.(Onkelos Targum, footnote

p.247).So here we have a framework to operate within, some

contextbut before we proceed I want to point out thatJoseph is argued by most to be a prefigure of Messiahsome argue there are up to exactly 100 parallels betweenJosephs life and the Messiah. Let us touch on just a few,

the following have been borrowed from our helpful teacherMr. Arthur W. Pink:

! The Meaning of his Name. It is significant that he hadtwo namesJoseph, and Zaphnath-paaneah (41:45) which the rabbis translate Revealer of Secrets. Thelatter name was given to him by Pharaoh in

acknowledgment of the Divine wisdom which was inhim. Thus, Joseph may be said to be his human nameand his Divine name. So also, the one whom Josephforeshadowed has a double nameJesus being Hishuman name, Christ signifying the Anounted ofGOD, or , again, we have his double name in Son ofMan which speaks of His humanity, and Son ofGod which tells of His Deity. Joseph means adder,the first Adam was the great subtractor, the last Adamis the great Adder through the one, men became lost; by the other, all who believe are saved. Josephs


23/32

23

second name means Revealer of secrets. Howstrikingly this foreshadowed Christ, of whom it wassaid in the days of His infancy, Behold this Child is

set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; andfor a sign which shall be spoken againthat thethoughts of many hearts may be revealed (Luke 2:34-35)

! By occupation Joseph was a shepherd, feeding theflock. (Gen. 37:2). No figure of Christ is more

beautiful than this: our favorite Psalm (the 23 rd ), as both were sent to find the Lost Sheep of Israel!

! Joseph is hated because of his Words. They hatedhim and could not speak peaceably to him. And theyhated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words. Yeshua said But now ye seek to kill Me, a

man that hath told the truth, which I have heard ofGod (John 8:40).

! Joseph was sent by his father. Come, I will send theeunto them. And he said to him, Here am I (Gen.37:12, 13). Yeshua said Herein is love, not that weloved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to

be the propitiation for our sins (John 4:10).! Joseph was conspired against. And when they saw

him afar off, even before he came near unto them,they conspired against him to slay him (Gen. 37:18).


24/32

24

Speaking of Yeshua, Then the Pharisees went out andheld a council against Him, how they might destroyHim (Matt. 12:14).

! Joseph is sold. They drew and lifted up Joseph out ofthe pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites (Gen37:28). Is it not exceedingly striking to note that fromamong the twelve sons of Jacob Judah should be theone to make this horrible bargain, just as from the 12apostles Judas (the Anglecized form of the Greek

equivalent of Judah) was the one to sell the LORD.This is by far not an exhaustive list, and many of these

for the sake of time have been pared back to make forquicker reading. Suffice it to say Joseph is a forerunnerof Messiah.

! And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him,saying, What seekest thou? (Gen 37:15 KJV)

%&0,&1 = ta`ah {taw-aw'} Meaning: 1) to err, wander,go astray, stagger 1a) (Qal) to err 1a1) to wander about(physically) 1a2) of intoxication 1a3) of sin (ethically) 1a4) wandering (of the mind).

Where was Joseph? Wandering in the field


25/32

25

The field is a picture of living outside the camp, outside thetent, outside the safety of Torahand it says Joseph was

wandering (of the mind perhaps?) in the field.

The man there tells him they went to Dothan, so Josephproceeds toward Dothantending to the needs of theflock.

We read of the brothers conspiring to kill Joseph butinstead Reuben talks them out of it, and they decide to casthim into a well without watersymbolic of a tombas Yeshua was in the earth in the tomb. They lift Joseph outand sell him per Yehudahs suggestion for 20 pieces ofsilver. Reuben comes back, tears his outer garmenttheydevise the plan to take the tip of Josephs coat and to dip itin blood of an animal and give it to Jacob.

They tell Jacob:

! Genesis 37:34 Ya`akov tore his clothes and, puttingsackcloth around his waist, mourned his son for manydays.

! H8071 #$%&'

Yosef is Sold to Potiphar

Yosef does not speak on his own defense!

! That would shame Potipher and his wife! Perhaps now Yosef is done with Lashonah Ra?! He now trusts YHWH for his defense

Who is your defense? You? Or YHWH?! Job 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, and

thou shalt have plenty of silver. (silver representsredemption-half shekel)

! Psalms 7:10 My defense is of God, which saveth theupright in heart.

! Psalms 89:18 For the LORD is our defense; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Yosef goes to prison:

! He was put in the kings prison

! He was again blessed IN PRISON and was givenauthority

! Why is he succeeding, even while most would count itover?

! But ADONAI was with Yosef, showing him grace andgiving him favor in the sight of the prison warden.

! 22 The prison warden made Yosef supervisor of all theprisoners in the prison; so that whatever they didthere, he was in charge of it.

! 23 The prison warden paid no attention to anything Yosef did, because ADONAI was with him; and whatever he did, ADONAI prospered.(Gen 39:21-23 CJB)

Dreams Round 2: Beresheet 40:5-8

! One night the two of them, the king of Egypt'scupbearer and his baker, there in prison, both haddreams, each dream with its own meaning.

! 6 Yosef came in to them in the morning and saw thatthey looked sad.


30/32

! 7 He asked Pharaoh's officers there with him in theprison of his master's house, "Why are you looking sosad today?"

!

They said to him, "We each had a dream, and there'sno one around who can interpret it." Yosef said tothem, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Tell it tome, please."(Gen 40:5-8 CJB)

Genesis 40:16:

! When the chief baker saw that theinterpretation was favorable , he said to Yosef, "Itoo saw in my dream: there were three baskets of white bread on my head.

! Hey, I want a good word too!! He got something good! I want it too!! Or even, I want his word

But Yosef told himyoure going to die.The Cupbearer is Reinstated:

! He forgot about Yosef! You will have those in your life that will come to you

for help, but when doing well, they will forget you! How do you respond?! Have faith in YHWH and bless them

As a sidenote, I just wanted to point out we did skipover chapter 38, the sin of Yehudah with Tamar. The point


31/32

31

of the entire story of this is to convey that Yehudah wasalso choosing to walk outside of Torah. We also see thissimilar turning away from Torah in the selling of Yosef to

the Ishmaelite traders. Yehudah buddied up with an Adullamite (Justice of

the people) called Hirah when he turned aside in Canaan.They say bad company corrupts good morals.

But if you read it in Hebrew its word as it occurs is

5186 %&2&3 natah {naw-taw'}Meaning: 1) to stretch out, extend, spread out,
