This verbal sign was handed down from Abraham to Isaac and then to Jacob, who passed it on to Joseph. On his deathbed in Egypt, in his final words, Joseph revealed this confidential watchword to his brothers: \u201cGod will surely redeem you\u201d (Genesis 50:24-25). Joseph\u2019s brother, Asher, handed on this sacred promise not to any of his sons but to his daughter Serah. And wisely too, for Serah, according to rabbinic tradition, survived into the generation of Moses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of Exodus Chapter 4, when Moses and Aaron come to the Elders of Israel and perform miracles before them to prove that Moses had been sent by God to lead Israel out of Egyptian enslavement, the people immediately believed. But according to the midrashic expansion of this biblical passage, the Elders first went and consulted with Serah. She told them: \u201cSuch miracles are insubstantial!\u201d But then they told her: \u201cMoses also proclaimed to us what he says is the word of God, \u201cSurely I will redeem you&#8221;! Whereupon, Serah immediately exclaimed: \u201cThis is indeed the very man who will redeem Israel from Egypt! For this is the secret password of redemption that I received from my father, Asher\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the midrash, it was only when this previously secret cipher was revealed to the people of Israel that they believed that the time of their redemption had finally come. This ancient rabbinic tradition seems remarkably contemporary in assigning to the legendary wise-woman, Serah bat Asher \u2013 the immortal granddaughter of Jacob (see Sefer Ha-Yashar, Parashat Va-Yigash) &#8212; the role of revealing the secret of redemption to the people of her time and now to us.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":104185,"id":104185,"title":"-625e713084e77--625e713084e78ex4-password.jpg","filename":"625e713084e77-625e713084e78ex4-password.jpg.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2018\/09\/625e713084e77-625e713084e78ex4-password.jpg.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/serah-bat-asher-and-the-secret-password-of-redemption\/625e713084e77-625e713084e78ex4-password-jpg\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"625e713084e77-625e713084e78ex4-password-jpg","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":40855,"date":"2022-04-19
