1 Portions and paragraphs in the Torah are usually separated in one of two ways: 1) íÖìe³Ðt—open—where the next 17
portion or paragraph begins on a new line, or 2) íÖôe³Ð½—closed—where an open space separates the previous [3] Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt. .äÈîÀéÇøÀöÄîäÈãÀøÅîàÈøéÄzìÇà [â]
paragraph from the following, but the new paragraph begins on the same line. Uniquely, the portion −ÌìÐ−Ôî begins [He was told this] because he was distressed þÔ®−ÑôíÖ−ÖíÓL−ÌõÐñ
with no gap whatever to the previous portion. Thus it is “completely closed.” 2 Though they were not completely that he was required to leave Eretz Yisrael. :±ÓþÖêÖñíÖ®eìÐñ³êÑ®ÖñšÔšÐïÌpÓLñÔ¼
subjugated until the last of Yaakov’s sons died. 3 As to why this portion is completely closed. 4 I.e., the End
of Days, when the exile would finally end. 5 96, 1. 6 Why Yoseif, when the rest of his sons were with him in
Goshen? 7 See above, Rashi 24, 2. 38 See Onkelos. 39 See Rashi, above, 28, 2. 40 Is He not also the God of his grandfather, Avraham?
