Be careful how you treat others because they sold their brother into slavery , in return they and their children and their childrens children be came slaves for four hundred years Parasha Miketz (At the End) & Shabbat Chanukah Genesis 41:1–44:17; Zechariah 2:14–4:7; Luke 4:16–31 “And it came to pass at the end of [miketz] two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed a dream: and, behold, he stood by the river.” (Genesis 41:1) In last week’s study, Joseph’s brothers became jealous of Joseph and plotted against him because his father favored him above his other sons and because his prophetic dreams revealed his own grand destiny. So they threw him into a pit and then sold him into slavery. While serving honorably as a slave, Joseph was set up and sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. In this week’s reading, Joseph is finally about to come to the end of his many trials and enter into his destiny. In fact, the name of the Parasha, Miketz, the opening verse of this week’s Torah reading, hints at this since this Hebrew word means at the end of. Joseph is brought out of the darkness of an Egyptian dungeon to interpret the strange dreams of the Pharaoh. In just one day, Joseph is promoted from prison to palace; his life was transformed suddenly from darkness to light.
