Id ahora vosotros, los varones, y servid a YHVH, pues esto es lo que buscáis. Y los echaron de la presencia de Faraón. • BTX 3

6. Primera porción • The “Pharaohs” of our day have the same attitude. If the older folk wish to cling to Jewish tradition, that is perfectly acceptable; but the youth should be raised in “the spirit of the times” . . . • Maayanah Shel Torah- In Depth Chabad

8. targum • And he went out from Pharoh, and prayed before the Lord. And the Lord turned a wind from the west of exceeding strength, and it carried away the locust, and bare him to the sea of Suph: there was not one locust left in all the borders of Mizraim.

But the Lord strengthened the design of Pharoh's heart, and he would not release the children of Israel. • Targum.info

9. comentarios • When the locusts first came, the Egyptians rejoiced and said: “Let us gather them and fill barrels with them.” Then did G‑d say: “Wretches!

11. targum •  But among all the sons of Israel there was light, that the wicked among them who died might be buried, and that the righteous might be occupied with the precepts of the law in their dwellings. • Targum.info

12. comentario • Why did G‑d . . . bring darkness upon the Egyptians? Because there were transgressors in Israel who had Egyptian patrons and who lived in affluence and honor, and were unwilling to leave. So G‑d said: “If I bring upon them publicly a plague from which they will die, the Egyptians will say: ‘Just as it has passed over us, so has it passed over them.’” Therefore He brought darkness upon the Egyptians for three days, so that the [Israelites] should bury their dead without their enemies seeing them. • Midrash Rabbah-In Depth Chabad

15. targum • And Mosheh said, Thou hast spoken fairly. While I was dwelling in Midian, it was told me in a word from before the Lord, that the men who had sought to kill me had fallen from their means, and were reckoned with the dead.

And he went out from Pharoh in great anger. • Targum.info

20. comentario • The Jews in Egypt had sunk to the “forty-ninth gate of impurity,” so that morally and spiritually they were virtually indistinguishable from the Egyptians. Thus, when G‑d passed over the Jewish firstborn to kill the Egyptian firstborn, the divine attribute of justice argued: “How are these any different from these? These are idol-worshippers, and these are idol-worshippers!” Nevertheless, G‑d chose to extract the children of Israel from “the bowels of Egypt” and acquire them as His chosen people. • OhrHaTorah-In Depth Chabad

And the blood of the paschal oblation, (like) the matter of circumcision, shall be a bail for you, to become a sign upon the houses where you dwell; • Targum.info
