TORAH PORTION  
Sh'mot ... Names
Exodus 1:1−6:1
These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob,
each coming with his household: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Exodus 1:1-4

SUMMARY:
  • The new king of Egypt makes slaves of the Hebrews and orders their male children to be drowned in the Nile River. (1:1-22)
  • A Levite woman places her son, Moses, in a basket on the Nile, where he is found by the daughter of Pharaoh and raised in Pharaoh's house. (2:1-10)
  • Moses flees to Midian after killing an Egyptian. (2:11-15)
  • Moses marries the priest of Midian's daughter, Zipporah. They have a son named Gershom. (2:16-22)
  • God calls Moses from a burning bush and commissions him to free the Israelites from Egypt. (3:1-4:17)
  • Moses and Aaron request permission from Pharaoh for the Israelites to celebrate a festival in the wilderness. Pharaoh refuses and makes life even harder for the Israelites. (5:1-23)
