Aliya Summary: Moshe took his wife and two sons and headed for Egypt.
G‑d charged Moshe to warn Pharaoh: "So said G‑d, 'My firstborn son is
Israel. So I say to you, send out My son so that he will worship Me. And
if you refuse to send him out, behold, I will slay your firstborn
son.'" En route to Egypt, Moshe's wife rescued her husband from divine
wrath by performing a circumcision on their son. Moshe met Aaron, who
had come from Egypt to greet him, and together they went to Egypt,
gathered the elders and performed the wondrous signs that G‑d had given
Moshe.
Rashi says that the donkey that Moshe used to
bring his family to Mitzrayim was the same one that Avraham took to the
Akeida and the one that the Moshiach will ride upon. Why not a regular
donkey? To convey the idea that these monumental events were not
haphazard or random, but specially prepared parts of G-d's master plan
for the world.
