Avoiding Negative Things

 In the story of Jacob's son Joseph, Joseph recounts a dream in which he envisions himself as the future leader of Jacob's family, with his brothers. 

This convinces his brothers that he is a threat to the family's divine mission, so they decide to eliminate him.

He was sold to Egypt as a slave to one of the Egyptian dignitaries, where he was first appointed to a position of responsibility in his master's household, after which he was thrown into prison on charges of slander.

Joseph's brothers, Simeon and Levi, suggested killing Joseph immediately, but Reuben, the oldest brother, suggested throwing him into a pit, leaving him to his fate and to God's providence.

The hole they chose was dry and filled with snakes and scorpions. The hole was empty of water (Genesis 37:24).

Allegorically, the pit symbolizes the human mind and the water symbolizes the law, this event tells us that the best way is to keep our minds free from “snakes and scorpions”.

The suggestion and negative is to ensure that our minds are always full of “water” which is content related to the Torah, because “the Torah of God is healthy, it restores the soul.”

The Belief of Torah

  The Torah is very different from other belief systems and when the Israelites received the Torah, they saw and witnessed that they heard the voice of Hashem (God) on Mount Sinai. We as humans cannot understand the essence of Hashem (God) because Hashem is the creator and Hashem is not human or has never been transformed into a human being in any form. The Torah is not a book that was sent down from heaven but a part of Hashem's statement to Moshe (Moses) and the Israelites. If we as non-Jews carry out the 7 laws of Noah, that means you have carried out the commandments of the Torah. In the 7 laws of Noah there is a commandment about the prohibition of sexual immorality, for example, you must maintain the honor of men or women and do not get pregnant outside of marriage. Gay, lesbian or homosexual have violated the commandments or guidance of the Torah itself. Non-Jews who carry out the 7 laws of Noah and that has carried out the rules of the Torah even we who obey the 7 laws of N...

The Seven Laws of Noah and the Dimension of the Soul

From here we as Noahides can learn that: 1. Sexual immorality is a deviation from pure love (Chesed) 2. Killing is a deviation from strength (Gevurah) 3. Stealing is a deviation from beauty (Tiferet) because Tiferet is the nature that allows humans to relate to each other with attention and consideration 4. Worshiping idols is a deviation from worshiping God 5. Blasphemy is a deviation from the soul's ability to say Thank You to God The first five commandments (from the above order) and the last were given to Adam, at the beginning of the creation of the world, the sixth commandment (from the above order) was given to Noah, as taught in the Torah that Noah was a Tzadiq (pious) person, and he was the foundation (Yesod) of his generation. This commandment was given to Noah in physical form: it is permissible to eat the flesh of animals, but they must be slaughtered first and their blood must not be consumed. The last commandment, explicitly formulated in the form of a positive senten...
