Vayeshev (And he settled)
Scripture:	Genesis 37:1 – 40:23			Torah
		Joseph, Favored Son 37 Now Jacob dwelled in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan. 2 These are the genealogies of Jacob. When Joseph was 17 years old (he was a youth), he was shepherding the flocks with his brothers—with the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah. Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons because he was the son of his old age. So he had made him a long-sleeved tunic. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak to him in shalom. 5 Then Joseph dreamed a dream and told his brothers—and they hated him even more. 6 He said to them, “Please listen to this dream I dreamed. 7 There we were binding sheaves in the middle of the field. All of a sudden, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.”8 “Will you truly be a king over us?” his brothers said to him. “Will you really rule over us?” So they hated him even more because of his dreams and because of his words.9 But then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers, saying, “I have just dreamed another dream. Suddenly, there was the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowing down to me!” 10 He told it to his father as well as his brothers.Then his father rebuked him and said to him, “What’s this dream you dreamed? Will we really come—your mother and I with your brothers—to bow down to the ground to you?” 11 So his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the speech in mind. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.+37%3A1%E2%80%9340%3A23&version=TLV
Scripture:	Amos: 2:6 - 3:8			Haftarah
6 Thus says Adonai: “For three crimes of Israel even for four, I will not relent. For they sell the righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of shoes. 7 They trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth and thwart the way of the humble. A man and his father go to the same girl,[a] to profane My holy Name. 8 Upon garments taken in pledge they stretch out beside every altar, and drink wine confiscated as fines in the house of their gods. 9 “I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like cedars and as strong as oaks— yes, I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath. 10 It was I also who brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess the Amorite’s land. 11 I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazirites from your young men. Is this not so, Bnei Yisrael?” declares Adonai. 12 “But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and you commanded the prophets saying, ‘Do not prophesy.’ 13 Behold! I will cause a tottering beneath you as a cart totters when full of sheaves. 14 Then flight will fail for the swift. The mighty will not strengthen his power, The warrior will not save his life. 15 The archer will not stand, the fleet-footed will not escape, the horseman will not save himself. 16 The valiant among the warriors will flee naked in that day.” declares Adonai. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Amos+2%3A6%E2%80%933%3A8&version=TLV
Scripture:	John 2:13–4:42 Matttew1:18-25			Brit Chadashah
		13 The Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Yeshua went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the Temple, He found the merchants selling oxen, sheep, and doves; also the moneychangers sitting there. 15 Then He made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the Temple, both the sheep and oxen. He dumped out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables. 16 To those selling doves, He said, “Get these things out of here! Stop making My Father’s house a marketplace!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your House will consume Me!”[a]18 The Judean leaders responded, “What sign do You show us, since You are doing these things?”19 “Destroy this Temple,” Yeshua answered them, “and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Judean leaders then said to Him, “Forty-six years this Temple was being built, and You will raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was talking about the temple of His body. 22 So after He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was talking about this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Yeshua had spoken. 23 Now when He was in Jerusalem for the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He was doing. 24 But Yeshua did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men. 25 He did not need anyone to testify about man, for He knew what was in man. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jn.+2%3A13%E2%80%934%3A42&version=TLV Matthew 1 : 18 - 25 The Miraculous Birth of Yeshua 18 Now the birth of Yeshua the Messiah happened this way. When His mother Miriam was engaged to Joseph but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, made up his mind to dismiss her secretly. 20 But while he considered these things, behold, an angel of Adonai appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Miriam as your wife, for the Child conceived in her is from the Ruach ha-Kodesh. 21 She will give birth to a son; and you shall call His name Yeshua, for He will save His people from their sins.” 22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by Adonai through the prophet, saying, 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and give birth to a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which means “God with us.”[a]24 When Joseph woke up from his sleep, he did as the angel of Adonai commanded him and took Miriam as his wife. 25 But he did not know her intimately until she had given birth to a Son. And he called His name Yeshua. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mt.1%3A18-25&version=TLV
