The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
For this we have to understand it's knowing the difference. It's also a very famous from the 1904 1904 we explained the whole kilik of Ysef and his brothers. At first glance it looks like there was just they didn't get along. They loathed him. They were jealous of him all of his dreams. But obviously there was something much deeper here. So this is a it's a revolutionary point of view in the whole in the entire story and he explains it says the tit describes in parame's wife pursued him and said this is the day be with me and yph had to run away. So the tarum says on these words what's very interesting usually translates the words but here he says had to deal with all the bookkeeping all the accounts all the math or doing all the math all the all the calculations he had to be check examine what we call look go through the books to make all the since he was running pifer's entire estate and pifer was one of the wealthiest people in Egypt because he worked right under parro who was the mushel bakipa Egypt was a superpower of the time so himself also made sure that he had kal for shabas and he wasn't bereft of wealth and y ran everything so not just his fields and his home but all of his assets all of his estate so he had to make if that wasn't enough he became the prime minister he became the viceroy the second in command It wasn't he was sitting in an office, you know, and running Egypt with a joystick. Told him without you, nobody ought to lift an arm or a leg in the all of Egypt. And as Rashim explained, it means anybody who wants to acquire a rep
