Va’era
*He started with the eldest,
And then He counted down,
He knew that somewhere in there,
A goel would be found.
He looked carefully at Reuven,
And then his arba sons,
He next inspected Shimon,
But his five were not the ones.
The third in line was Levi,
Of banim he had three,
Gershon first, and then Kahath,
The last was Merari.
While sifting through Kahathi,
Amram’s children had potential,
Aharon, Moshe (and Miriam, too?),
They all were deemed essential.
And so this parsha mentions,
Of the heads of all the houses,
Just the three firstborn of Leah,
(And even names some spouses).
