Shnayim Mikrah V’Echad Targum and Limud Hatorah:
The Baal Haturim writes that the words “v’eileh shemos bnei Yisroel” are an acronym for “v’odom asher lomed haseder shnayim mikrah v’echad targum b’kol naim yashir yichye shanim rabbos aruchim l’olam.” (A person who learns the Parshah, shnayim mikrah v’echad targum, with a pleasant, melodic voice will always live for many long years.)
Rabenu Efraim writes that the entire pasuk (v’eile shemos bnei Yisroel haba’im Mitzrayma es Yaakov ish u’beiso ba’u) is an acronym for the following: “V’chayav odom l’kroh haparshah shnayim mikrah v’echad targum. B’taamei neginah yikrena (Megillah 32A). Yismach simcha rabbah im lamdah. Ha’osek b’talmud aino yira m’ha’onshin (Brachos 5A). M’kol tzaros rabbos yutzlu. M’shneini Torah al talmudo yechidim asu kibutz b’limudchem, az yiskayem shinunchem. V’halomed balayla yisaneg tamid b’chesed Elokim v’tovaso.” (And a person is obligated to read the Parshah, shnayim mikrah v’echad targum. He should read it with the cantillation melody. He should be very joyful with his learning. One who is immersed in learning need not fear punishments. He will be saved from all suffering. One should not learn Torah alone; rather, learning should be with a gathering of people. Then, the learning will last. And one who learns at night will always experience happiness and he will be blessed with Hashem’s kindness and goodness.)
This is as Chazal say (Avodah Zara 3B): “If one learns Torah at night, Hashem places upon him a ‘string of Divine kindness’ during the day...”
