Parshat Va'ayrah by Dr.
Israel Eldad
"The
name 'Pharaoh' in the language of the Egyptians means 'the great the name to the Egyptian
ruler, it's not by chance that the Bible chose this over all the others.
For is it not the 'great houses' that remain almost theonly value, the only evidence
from this culture of four thousand years?
When
you mention Greece, you mention art, philosophy. When you mention
Rome, you
mention state, justice, empire. And when you mention Egypt, you mention That was Pharaoh
and that's what's left of him. They all built, they all wanted to build bigger and fancier
than their predecessors, even if only end it all goes back
to the incredible amount of working hands. All of the other Peoples were slaves, too.
Many wars were waged by Egypt only to keep in its control Lebanon,
the main source of wood that covered the great the great houses. And
this is the way it was built, and this is the fate of all great houses that are
not holy houses. And so this repetitive concept is it happened to be. 'The great
house.' "
