Shemot : Redemption, deliverance and freedom

Parashah 13: Shemot (Names) 1:1-6:1

1:1(A:i) Now these [are] the SHEMOT (names) of the benai  Yisrael, which came into Mitzrayim; every man and his household came with Yaakov.

1:2 Reuven, Shimeon, Levy Yehudah;

1:3 Yissakhar, Zevulun and Benyamin,

1:4 Dan and Naftali, Gad, and Asher

1:5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Ya'akov were seventy souls: for Yosef was in Mitzrayim [already].

1:6 And Yosef died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

1:7 And the benai  Yisrael were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the eretz was filled with them.

1:8 Now there arose up a new king over Mitzrayim, which knew not Yosef.

1:9 And he said unto his people:

"Hinnei, the people of the benai  Yisrael [are] more and mightier than we:

1:10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and [so] get them up out of the land. "

1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Paroh treasure cities, Pithom and Ra'amses.

1:12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the benai  Yisrael.

1:13 And the Mitzrites made the benai  Yisrael to serve with rigour:

1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, [was] with rigour.

1:15 And the king of Mitzrayim spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one [was] Shifrah, and the name of the other Pu'ah:

1:16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a ben, then ye shall kill him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live.

1:17 But the midwives feared Elohim, and did not as the king of Mitzrayim commanded them, but saved the men benai alive.

1:18 (ii) And the king of Mitzrayim called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men benai alive?

1:19 And the midwives said unto Paroh, Because the Hebrew women [are] not as the Mitzrites women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

1:20 Therefore Elohim dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared Elohim, that he made them houses.

1:22 And Paroh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Pithom פּתם/  Πειθώ 비돔 the city of justice (Pi-Tum or Pa-Tum; modern day Tell el-Retaba), means "house of Tum" [or "Atum,"], i.e., the sun-god of Heliopolis; and the Greek word "Hero" is probably a translation of "Atum."one of the store-cities which the Pharaoh made the Israelites build. (See Map of Wilderness Journey - Korea language)

Ra'amses" (Hebrew: רַעְמְסֵס) is mentioned in the Bible four times: in Genesis 47:11; Exodus 1:11 and Numbers 33:3,5. Ra'amses was the point from which the Israelites departed during their exodus from Egypt.

Goshen :- the land where Yosef and his descendants settled.The Land of Goshen (Hebrew גֹּשֶׁן, Standard Hebrew Góšen, Tiberian Hebrew Gōšen) is the region around the city with the modern name Fakus in the eastern Nile delta in Egypt referenced in the Biblical story of Yosef. In the Septuagint it is called Gesan, by Artapanus called Kessan, from Egyptian Gesem.

The area is just a few kilometers south of the ancient capital of Avaris (Egyptian Hatwaret, where the later city of Pi-Rameses was built), where, from the 12th dynasty of Egypt, a major administrative headquarters was located. It was there that Yosef had his house, and where he was laid to rest.
