What does the Midrash Rabba on Shemos 13,17 mean that Paroh was upset that the Jews are leaving because before he was getting messages from Hashem and now he won't anymore? Why would Paroh want messages from Hashem saying essentially "If you don't free the Jews I'll beat you to a bloody pulp"?That's not something Paroh should want at all!!

How can Hashem tell the Jews (Shemos 11,2) "Visha'alu ish mei'es re'eihu v'isha me'es reusah klei chesef uklei zahav" (and each man should borrow from his friend a,d each woman from her friend silver and golden vessels...)? They were never going to return them. You can't call that borrowing, it's taking!

Why does Moshe keep removing the Makkos right when Paroh says that he'll free the Jews? Paroh changed his mind every time! Wouldn't the smartest thing be to keep the Makka there until the Jews are well out of Egypt? I mean, at least by the third time, they should realize that Paroh lied the last few times, he's probably going to change his mind again this time too! The Jews don't lose anything by keeping the Makka there until they're safe, out of Egypt!

Va'eira

Shemos 6,13 Rashi- Hashem told Moshe to Treat Pharaoh with the honor befitting a king when he speaks to him. Why is this the place where Hashem tells him that? This isn't the first time he's being told to go to Pharaoh. Logically, the place to tell Moshe should be in 3,18 before Moshe goes to Pharaoh for the first time!

Va'eira

In Berachos 9a,b Rav Yannai says that the reason it says in Shemos 11,2 "daber NA... viyishalu ish maies ra'aihu... Klei chesef uklei zahav" (speak please... and let each man borrow from his friend... silver and gold vessels) is because na means please and Hashem was telling Moshe "Please. Go tell Klal Yisrael please borrow gold and silver vessels because that way Avraham won't be able to say 'you kept(Beraishis 15,13) 'they will serve them and oppress them' but not 'afterwards they will leave with tremendous wealth' '!" Why is the problem that Avraham is going to complain, the problem should be that Hashem has to do it since he promised to?

Va'eira

Rashi on 7,19 says Aharon had to do the first two Makkos because Moshe had been saved by water when he was put in the river as a baby. Rashi on 8,12 says Aharon had to do the third Makka because the dirt saved him when he buried the Egyptian he killed. But why did it have to be Aharon who turned the stick into a snake in 7,9-10? Sticks have never saved Moshe's life, why couldnt Moshe do it?

Va'eirah

In 6,12 Moshe makes a Kal Vachomer "If the Bnei Yisrael didn't listen to me, for sure Pharaoh won't listen to me." But 6,9 just said the Jews didn't listen because of their "shortness of breath and hard work". Those reasons don't apply to Pharaoh, so what's the proof that Pharaoh won't listen?

Shemos

Rambam- Hashem doesn't make unnecessary miracles. If so, why does Hashem (2,6Rashi) make it that when Moshe cries, he sounds much older than he is? That doesn't do anything! No ones going to think he's any older than he looks.

Shemos

In 1,18 Pharaoh comes up with a plan to get all the boys killed by having the midwives Shifra and Puah kill them at birth. How is that going to be effective? Everyone will very quickly notice that all the boys are dying and stop using them as their midwives!

Shemos

Beraishis 46,8Rashi-The pasuk says the Jews "are coming to Egypt" in present tense, because at this point in the Torah's telling over of the story they're coming even though most of the Torah is written in past tense. But in Shemos 1,1 it says the Jews "are coming to Egypt" even though its been years since they came! Why doesn't it say over there the Jews "came"?

Vayechi

48,8 Rashi- The Shechina left by Ephraim and Menashe's brachos because they will have a some evil descendants. Why doesn't it leave by the other Shevatim's brachos?They also have a numberof descendants that are just as evil!

Vayechi

Why does Yaakov (48,7 Rashi) tell Yosef to bury him in Mearas Hamachpeila even though he didn't bury Rachel there, during Ephraim and Menashe's brachos? The time to tell him that should be while he's telling Yosef where to bury him (in 47,28-31)! It is totally irrelevant to Ephraim and Menashe's Berachos!

PLEASE NOTE. THE LAST POST SHOULD BE MARKED VAYECHI, NOT SHEMOS (ALTHOUGH IT IS RELEVANT TO SHEMOS TOO)

Shemos

47,28Rashi-The reason there's no 9+ letter long space between Vayigash and Vayichi is because the eyes and heart of the Jews became closed because the slavery began. But the slavery didn't start when Yaakov died in Vayechi!? It started after all the Shvatim, and almost are their kids too, died in Sefer Shemos, so why is the lack of 9+ letter long space before Vayechi? It has nothing to do with Yaakov's death or with Parshas Vayechi at all! It should be by Shemos!
