Reply To: Parsheh of the Week Interpretation

There is a contradiction in the begining of Shmos. it says ????? meaning they are coming and ??? meaning they came. The Klei Yokor says that this teaches us that after they came, they saw themselves like they just came so they will never get assimilated. Maybe, the Dubner Magid explains what it says ???? ??? ??? when it comes to going down, Hashem comes first, but when it comes to be lifted up ????? ???? ?? ??? we come first? He compares this to a father taking his son into a sweaming pool. When he takes him in, he goes first but when he gets him out, his son gpes first. Similarly, when going down, Hashem goes first, but when coming up, we come first. The Rabbenu Bechaya says that ??? ????? refers to HKB’H and His anterage. So, when the Bnei Yisroel came, Hashem was already there.
