Bo

Bo

Three more plagues are coming…

So HaShem tells Moshe “Bo”!

Because Bo is spelled ב״א,

Which adds up to three, you know.

Hashem could have told Moshe “Lech”,

The Baal HaTurim tells us so,

Like when He sent Moshe

 To meet Pharaoh at the river,

That time He used the word “go”.

Lech means “go”, and Bo means “come”

And maybe therein lies the difference,

When you “come” to someone it shows more respect,

You’re showing greater deference.

Maybe HaShem’s intention this time,

By showing esteem מרובה (m’rubeh),

Is to soften with light....Pharaoh’s pitiless heart,

Before the darkness descends.....with the ארבה (Arbeh).
