BIBLICAL FAITH–Sam Peak
With the giving of the Torah, the G-d of Israel chose the descendants of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya’akov as His Chosen People, instructing them to fulfill the 613 Mitzvot of the Torah. G-d also adviced the righteous of the other nations of the world to keep the Seven Commandments of the Children of Noach and commanded Moshe and his people to teach them how. It was both the establishment of a new covenant and the strengthening of the old one.

BIBLICAL FAITH–Sam Peak
Exodus 15:27; “They arrived at Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date-palms; they encamped there by the water.” The Sages teach us how shortsighted man is! Had the Children of Israel seen what a splendid oasis was close by, they surely would not have grumbled about the bitter water at Mirah. Chafetz Chaim זצ”ל notes: All our complaints come only because we are not aware of what is ahead of us. Rabbi Yehudah Ashlag זצ”ל notes: Compliants come from “the will to receive for self alone!”.

Exodus 13:17; “It happenned…”, ויהי normally is a sign of joy but a sign of sadness. In the Zohar, we find an explanation to this sadness in which the Israelites took upon themselves. It is a natural condition of man to work and when he is unemployed he becomes dejected and confused. Thus, in a similiar sense when the Israelites left Mitzrayim the became depressed for how would they occupy themselves in the future? Only gradually did they truly become aware of their good fortune. This awareness reached its climax at the crossing of the Sea of Reeds.

Exodus 12:41; “It was at the end of four hundreds and thirty years…” The commencement of Israel’s nationhood brought with it certain characteristics that have remained ever since. The Exodus was not the final phase of a long evolution. Rather, it was an abrupt break with enslavement which, until the final moment, weighed heavily upon the people. There is no holiday or Shabbath which is not linked to the Exodus of Mitzrayim (Egypt).

Exodus 12:32; “Take even your sheep and even your cattle, as you have spoken…” Rashi explains that Par’oh was referring to Moshe’s earlier prediction that Par’oh himself would supply the offerings (10:25). Of course, Moshe never considered accepting Par’oh’s sacrifices (Ramban to 10:25).
