א סולינב רבקנו תרפועמ ףסוי לש ןור
Chazal say Tanchuma Beshalach 2 Toseftah Sota 4,7 that Yosef was buried in the Nile River in a lead coffin in order that he should be a beracha to the Nile River. Interesting that the word for lead is תרפוע. Here we see another hashgacha of Hashem. As we said above, Yosef facilitated our departure from Mitzrayim by borrowing the 70 years of galus Bavel as a make up later in history. This is all hinted in the aron of Yosef which the angel of the Yam Suf saw. The letters of עפרת spell פר ת ע. Am Yisrael has the 280 years of the 400 by being loaned the 70 years of galus Bavel. What can we say about the remaining three countries which we will acquire in the times of Moshiach? Which suffering must we undergo in order to acquire those lands? I am suggestion an allusion to it and hope with Hashem's help it is not an illusion. Hashem told Avraham I took you out from Ur Kasdim which was the furnace in which Nimrod threw Avraham because he served Hashem. And because you sacrificed your life for me I will give you an inheritance of Eretz Yisrael. It was then that Avraham asked Hashem how do I know for sure that I will inherit it? According to one opinion in the gemarah the decree of servitude was brought upon his descendants because of his question יכ עדא המב הנשריא. Once again we have the appearance of a תנור, a furnace which passed through the pieces of meat. Then Hashem said I gave to your children not only Eretz Yisrael but also the three nations of יזינק יניק וקדמוני. In fact, the three were mentioned first even before the seven which were already promised.
The inheritance of Eretz Yisrael and the land of the three nations were introduced with the furnace of Ur Kasdim and a furnace at the time of the actual Bris. That is why 280 of the 400 years in Mitzrayim is also called a furnace מכור הברזל (Devarim 4,20).
The three nations קיני קניזי קדמוני Chazal (see Rashi) tell us that these three nations refer to עמון מואב אדום, which is gematriah מכור. Hashem took us out from the Furnace referring to Mitzrayim. If we add a letter vov to the three עמון מואב ואדום we will arrive at בער which means to burn. This suggests that to merit even the three added nations Yisrael must undergo a רוכ. This is hinted to in the gematriah of אירשנה, the inheritance of all ten nations. For it equals קיני קניזי וקדמוני (including the three names).
The closest thing that comes near to the כור of Mitzrayim are the ovens of the death camps. After the sadistic tortures of the savage Nazis, millions of Yidden ended up in a כור of fire. If any comfort can be found in the Holocaust, it is the fact that the suffering until reaching the gas chambers and yet even further the cremation of those bodies who died for Kiddush Hashem, were counted towards the chesbon of the last debt of 120 years of Bris Bein Habasarim. It is not a coincidence that Am Yisrael received Eretz Yisrael very soon afterwards. May we be zoche to see the coming of Moshiach quickly in our days ר"יכ.
