From the Haftarah: The Lost and the Cast Away ‫ְוְ ָהָ ָיָה ַּבּּיֹוֹם ַהַ הּוא ִיִ ָּתַּקַ ע ְּבּ ׁשֹוָֹפָ ר ָּגּדֹוֹל ּוָבָ אּו ָהָ ֹאֹ ְבְ ִדים ְּבֶּאֶ ֶרץ ַאַ ּׁשּור ְוְ ַהַ ִּנּ ָּדִּחִ ים ְּבֶּאֶ ֶרץ‬ ‫ִמִ ְצְ ָרִיִם ְוְ ִהִ ְׁשַּׁתֲּחֲוּו ַלַ יהָוָה ְּבַּהַ ר ַהַ ֹּקֶּדֶ ׁש ִּבּירּוָׁשִׁ‍ָל��ִם‬ It shall be on that day, a great shofar will be blown, and those who are lost in the land of Assyria and those cast away in the land of Egypt will come, and they will bow down to Hashem on the holy mountain in Jerusalem (Yeshayahu 27:13) Why are the inhabitants of these two nations specifically singled out as ones that will bow down to Hashem in the future? My Firstborn, Israel ‫ְוְ ָאַמַ ְרָּתּ ֶאֶ ל ַּפ ְְּרֹעֹ ה ֹּכּה ָאַמַ ר ה' ְּבִּנִי ְבְ ֹכֹ ִרי ִיְִׂשׂ ָרֵאֵ ל‬ You shall say to Pharaoh, “So says Hashem, My son My firstborn is Israel” (4:22) The Jewish people are not the first nation to appear in history.

The Rambam then adds, “And in Egypt, Amram was commanded with additional mitzvos, until Moshe Rabbeinu came and [the transmission of] the Torah was completed through him.” Many commentators wonder what the Rambam’s source is for the idea that Amram was also commanded with mitzvos. The Meshech Chochmah explains that throughout Tanach, the two nations of Ashur and Egypt notoriously represent two attitudes that are antithetical to Torah: Z Ashur is known for blaspheming against Hashem and glorifying their own might, as illustrated by the diatribes of its king, Sancherib, when he sought to conquer Jerusalem.2 2 See Melachim II 19:20-22.
