Message 12-11-10 VaYigash-And He Drew Near Genesis 44:18-47:27 Ezekiel 37:15-28 Introduction It is late at night in Canaan. Jacob is preparing for what will be the last journey of his lifetime, to join his long-lost son Joseph in Egypt. The next time he travels it will be as a corpse for burial back in Canaan. Unlike his grandfather Abraham, Jacob is not one of those people who travels easily, which is unfortunate because his life has been a restless and circuitous journey, from Canaan to Haran, Haran back to Canaan, and now Canaan to Egypt. He has been forced into exile out of fear of his brother’s wrath, returned home to reclaim the birthright he had taken possession of by means fair or foul, been forced once more into exile by famine and the desire to see Joseph before he dies. In our HafTarah portion the prophet Ezekiel is a master of vivid allegory. In this portion he invokes the reunification of the sons of Jacob (as depicted in the opening section of the Torah Parashah) as a symbol of the reunion of the divided kingdoms of Israel.   Shalom Chaverim!
