THE OHR SOMAYACH TORAH MAGAZINE  WWW.OHR.EDU OHRNET PARSHAT BESHALACH  17 SHVAT 5784, 27 JANUARY 2024  VOL 31 NO.14 PARSHA INSIGHTS by Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair The Wandering Jew “Now, when Pharaoh let the people go, Hashem did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines.” (13:17) The exile of Egypt was the matrix for all the other exiles that the Jewish People would endure, and therefore the manner of their exodus from that exile laid down a matrix, a pattern for all the other exiles that the Jewish People would suffer.

(In Modern Hebrew, the association with armaments continued to be developed, such that the word tachmoshet refers to “ammunition/ammo.”) The Talmud offers an exegetical approach that connects chamush to chamesh: The Mishna (Shabbat 6:4) discusses what sorts of paraphernalia a man might be allowed to equip himself with when going out into a public domain on Shabbat. On this Mishna, the Jerusalem Talmud (Shabbat 6:4) comments that when the Torah states that the Jews exiting Egypt were chamushim, the word chamushim is a cognate of the word chamesh (“five”) and alludes to the fact that the Jews were armed with “five” types of weapons — the very same five l
