7th Portion: Bereshit(Genesis) 17:7-27

7And I will establish My covenant between Me and between you and between your seed after you throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant, to be to you for a God and to your seed after you.

8And I will give you and your seed after you the land of your sojournings, the entire land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them for a God."

9And God said to Abraham, "And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

10This is My covenant, which you shall observe between Me and between you and between your seed after you, that every male among you be circumcised.

11And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be as the sign of a covenant between Me and between you.

12And at the age of eight days, every male shall be circumcised to you throughout your generations, one that is born in the house, or one that is purchased with money, from any foreigner, who is not of your seed.

13Those born in the house and those purchased for money shall be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant.

14And an uncircumcised male, who will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin-that soul will be cut off from its people; he has broken My covenant."

15And God said to Abraham, "Your wife Sarai-you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name.

16And I will bless her, and I will give you a son from her, and I will bless her, and she will become [a mother of] nations; kings of nations will be from her. "

17And Abraham fell on his face and rejoiced, and he said to himself, "Will [a child] be born to one who is a hundred years old, and will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

18And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael will live before You!"

19And God said, "Indeed, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac, and I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

20And regarding Ishmael, I have heard you; behold I have blessed him, and I will make him fruitful, and I will multiply him exceedingly; he will beget twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.

21But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year."

22And He finished speaking with him, and God went up from above Abraham.

23And Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house and all those purchased with his money, every male of the people of Abraham's household, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, as God had spoken with him.

24And Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised of the flesh of his foreskin.

25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised of the flesh of his foreskin.

26On that very day, Abraham was circumcised, and [so was] Ishmael his son.

3rd Portion: Bereshit(Genesis) 13:5-18

5And also Lot, who went with Abram, had flocks and cattle and tents.

6And the land did not bear them to dwell together, for their possessions were many, and they could not dwell together.

7And there was a quarrel between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and between the herdsmen of Lot's cattle, and the Canaanites and the Perizzites were then dwelling in the land.

8And Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no quarrel between me and between you and between my herdsmen and between your herdsmen, for we are kinsmen.

9Is not all the land before you? Please part from me; if [you go] left, I will go right, and if [you go] right, I will go left."

10And Lot raised his eyes, and he saw the entire plain of the Jordan, that it was entirely watered; before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you come to Zoar.

11And Lot chose for himself the entire plain of the Jordan, and Lot traveled from the east, and they parted from one another.

12Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and he pitched his tents until Sodom.

13And the people of Sodom were very evil and sinful against the Lord.

14And the Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, "Please raise your eyes and see, from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward.

15For all the land that you see I will give to you and to your seed to eternity.

16And I will make your seed like the dust of the earth, so that if a man will be able to count the dust of the earth, so will your seed be counted.

17Rise, walk in the land, to its length and to its breadth, for I will give it to you."

1st Portion: Bereshit(Genesis) 12:1-13

1And the Lord said to Abram, "Go forth from your land and from your birthplace and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

2And I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will aggrandize your name, and [you shall] be a blessing.

3And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you."

4And Abram went, as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him, and Abram was seventy five years old when he left Haran.

5And Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go to the land of Canaan, and they came to the land of Canaan.

6And Abram passed through the land, until the place of Shechem, until the plain of Moreh, and the Canaanites were then in the land.

7And the Lord appeared to Abram, and He said, "To your seed I will give this land," and there he built an altar to the Lord, Who had appeared to him.

8And he moved from there to the mountain, east of Beth el, and he pitched his tent; Beth el was to the west and Ai was to the east, and there he built an altar to the Lord, and he called in the name of the Lord.

9And Abram traveled, continually traveling southward.

10And there was a famine in the land, and Abram descended to Egypt to sojourn there because the famine was severe in the land.

11Now it came to pass when he drew near to come to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Behold now I know that you are a woman of fair appearance.

12And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will slay me and let you live.

Shabbat Shalom everyone!. I share with you the latest verses of this week. Have a beautiful day of rest, close to the Lord, the Torah and your families!.

7th Portion: Bereshit(Genesis) 22:1-24

1And it came to pass after these things, that God tested Abraham, and He said to him, "Abraham," and he said, "Here I am."

2And He said, "Please take your son, your only one, whom you love, yea, Isaac, and go away to the land of Moriah and bring him up there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains, of which I will tell you."

3And Abraham arose early in the morning, and he saddled his donkey, and he took his two young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for a burnt offering, and he arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

4On the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.

5And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder, and we will prostrate ourselves and return to you."

6And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering, and he placed [it] upon his son Isaac, and he took into his hand the fire and the knife, and they both went together.

7And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and he said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"

8And Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And they both went together.

9And they came to the place of which God had spoken to him, and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and he bound Isaac his son and placed him on the altar upon the wood.

10And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife, to slaughter his son.

11And an angel of God called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham! Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

12And he said, "Do not stretch forth your hand to the lad, nor do the slightest thing to him, for now I know that you are a God fearing man, and you did not withhold your son, your only one, from Me."

13And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw, and lo! there was a ram, [and] after [that] it was caught in a tree by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14And Abraham named that place, The Lord will see, as it is said to this day: On the mountain, the Lord will be seen.

15And an angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven.

16And he said, "By Myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that because you have done this thing and you did not withhold your son, your only one,

17That I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand that is on the seashore, and your descendants will inherit the cities of their enemies.

18And through your children shall be blessed all the nations of the world, because you hearkened to My voice."

19And Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer sheba; and Abraham remained in Beer sheba.

20And it came to pass after these matters, that it was told to Abraham saying: "Behold Milcah, she also bore sons to Nahor your brother.

21Uz, his first born, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram.

22And Kesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

23And Bethuel begot Rebecca." These eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

¡Shabat Shalom a todos!. Les comparto los últimos versículos de esta semana. ¡Que tengan un hermoso día de descanso, de cercanía con Hashem, la Torah y sus familias!.

7ma sección: Bereshit(Génesis) 22:1-24

1Después de estos eventos, Dios puso a Avraham a prueba. “¡Avraham!”, dijo Él. “Sí”.

2“Toma a tu hijo, el único que amas –Itzjak– y vete a la región de Moriá. Preséntalo como una ofrenda totalmente quemada en una de las montañas que te indicaré”.

3Avraham se levantó muy de mañana y ensilló su asno. Tomó consigo a sus dos hombres, junto con su hijo Itzjak. Cortó leña para la ofrenda, y partió, dirigiéndose al lugar que había indicado Dios.

4Al tercer día, Avraham alzó los ojos, y vio el lugar desde lejos.

5Avraham les dijo a sus jóvenes: “Quédense aquí con el asno. El muchacho y yo iremos a ese lugar. Adoraremos y luego retornaremos a ustedes”.

6Avraham tomó la leña de la ofrenda y la puso sobre [los hombros de] su hijo Itzjak. Él mismo tomó el fuego y el cuchillo de degüello, y los dos fueron juntos.

7Itzjak le habló a Avraham. “Padre”. “Sí, hijo mío”. “Aquí está el fuego y la leña. Pero ¿dónde está el cordero para la ofrenda?”. 

8“Dios se ocupará de un cordero para una ofrenda, hijo mío”, respondió Avraham. Los dos continuaron juntos.

9Cuando finalmente llegaron al lugar indicado por Dios, Avraham erigió allí el altar, y dispuso la leña. Entonces ató a su hijo Itzjak, y lo puso en el altar encima de la leña.

10Avraham extendió la mano y tomó el cuchillo para degollar a su hijo.

11El ángel de Dios lo llamó desde el cielo y dijo: “¡Avraham! ¡Avraham!”. “Sí”.

12“No le hagas daño al muchacho. No le hagas nada. Puesto que ahora sé que temes a Dios. No has retenido de Él a tu único hijo”.

13Avraham entonces alzó los ojos y vio un carnero prendido por los cuernos en un matorral. Fue y tomó el carnero, sacrificándolo como una ofrenda totalmente quemada en lugar de su hijo.

14Avraham llamó al lugar “Dios Verá” (Adonai Iréh). Por consiguiente, hoy se dice: “En la montaña de Dios, Él será visto”. 

15El ángel de Dios lo llamó desde el cielo a Avraham una segunda vez,

16y dijo: “Dios declara: ‘He jurado por Mi propia Esencia, que debido a que ejecutaste este acto, y no retuviste a tu único hijo,

17Yo te bendeciré enormemente, y acrecentaré tu simiente como las estrellas del firmamento y la arena en la orilla del mar. Tu simiente heredará la puerta de sus enemigos.

18Todas las naciones del mundo serán bendecidas por medio de tus descendientes: todo porque obedeciste Mi voz’”.

19Avraham retornó a sus jóvenes, y juntos partieron y fueron a Beer Sheva. Avraham permaneció en Beer Sheva.

20Después de esto, Avraham recibió un mensaje: “Milcá ha también tenido hijos de tu hermano Najor:

21Utz, su primogénito; Buz, su hermano, Kmuel (padre de Aram),

22Késed, Jazó, Pildash, Idlaf y Betuel.

23Betuel ha tenido una hija, Rivká”. Milcá le dio a luz los ocho [hijos] de arriba a Najor el hermano de Avraham.

6th Portion: Bereshit(Genesis) 21:22-34

22Now it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phicol his general said to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.

23And now, swear to me here by God, that you will not lie to me or to my son or to my grandson; according to the kindness that I have done with you, you shall do with me, and with the land wherein you have sojourned."

24And Abraham said, "I will swear."

25And Abraham contended with Abimelech about the well of water that the servants of Abimelech had forcibly seized.

26And Abimelech said, "I do not know who did this thing, neither did you tell me, nor did I hear [of it] until today. "

27And Abraham took flocks and cattle, and gave them to Abimelech, and they both formed a covenant.

28And Abraham placed seven ewe lambs by themselves.

29And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What are these seven ewe lambs, which you have placed by themselves?"

30And he said, "For these seven ewe lambs you shall take from my hand, in order that it be to me for a witness that I dug this well."

31Therefore, he named that place Beer sheba, for there they both swore.

32And they formed a covenant in Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol his general arose, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

33And he planted an eishel in Beer-Sheba, and he called there in the name of the Lord, the God of the world.

6ta sección: Bereshit(Génesis 21:22-34)

22Por ese tiempo, Avimélej y su general Fijol le hicieron una declaración a Avraham, diciendo: “Dios está contigo en todo lo que haces.

23Ahora júrame aquí por Dios que no tratarás falsamente conmigo, con mis hijos ni con mis nietos. Muéstrame a mí y a la tierra donde fuiste un inmigrante la misma benevolencia que yo te he mostrado a ti”.

24“Juraré”, replicó Avraham.

25Entonces Avraham se quejó ante Avimélej por el pozo que los siervos de Avimélej habían tomado por la fuerza.

26Avimélej dijo: “No sé quién pudo haber hecho una cosa así. Nunca me dijiste. No oí nada de eso hasta hoy”.

27Avraham tomó ovejas y ganado y los dio a Avimélej, y los dos hicieron un tratado.

28Avraham entonces apartó solas siete ovejas hembras.

29Avimélej le preguntó a Avraham: “¿Cuál es el significado de estas siete ovejas hembras que has dejado de lado?”.

30“Toma de mi mano estas siete ovejas hembras –respondió [Avraham]–. Será mi prueba de que yo cavé este pozo”. 

31A esa región se la llamó por tanto Beer Sheva, puesto que los dos habían hecho allí un juramento.

32Hicieron de este modo un tratado en Beer Sheva. Avimélej y su general Fijol entonces partieron, y retornaron a la tierra de los filisteos.

33[Avraham] plantó un tamarisco en Beer Sheva, y allí invocó el nombre de Dios, Señor del Universo.
