וַיַּסֵּ֨ב אֱלֹהִ֧ים ׀ אֶת־הָעָ֛ם דֶּ֥רֶךְ הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר יַם־ס֑וּף וַחֲמֻשִׁ֛ים עָל֥וּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
E Elohim fez o povo dar volta pelo caminho do deserto, em direção ao Mar Vermelho; e os filhos de Yisrael subiram armados da terra de Mitzrayim.
Noam Elimelekh
"And God turned the people by the way of the wilderness of the Sea of Reeds". "And God turned" — the Holy One Blessed be He, in His great mercy, actively creates circumstances to turn the people toward His good path. "By the way of the wilderness" — through hitbodedut (solitary contemplation/seclusion), like the wilderness. "Sea of Reeds" — and also through Torah study, for Torah is called "sea." "And the children of Israel went up armed (chamushim) from the land of Egypt" - "Chamushim" — but the complete tzaddikim, who are called by the name "Israel," go up from Egypt armed and equipped with weapons, so that the yetzer hara has no power over them. "And Moses took the bones of Joseph" - This alludes to the great tzaddik called by the name "Moses" — he took for himself the midah (character quality) of "Joseph": namely, that he holds himself with strength and atzamot (fortitude) in the service of the Creator, blessed be He. "Atzamot" (bones) — in the sense of strength and reinforcement. And it is easy to understand. (vekal lehavin)
