VERSE: Gn40-01a

RASHIS COVERED: Gn15-01a Gn22-01a Gn40-01a

RULE
====
The Hebrew word >Aleph-Cheth-Resh< means >AFTERWARDS<.
The word >AFTERWARDS< is used to emphasize a >CONTRAST<
between two chapters--that is, it indicates a conceptual
link between the two chapters.

EXAMPLES
========
(1) Gn15-01a
    --------
    PRIOR CHAPTER: Abraham conquered the 5 Kings in war
    NEXT  CHAPTER: God promises Abraham much reward
    LINK: Even though Abraham had killed people he still had
          much reward

(2) Gn22-01a
    --------
    PRIOR CHAPTER: Avimelech wants a treaty with Abraham
    PRIOR CHAPTER: Abraham banishs his child Ishmael
    NEXT  CHAPTER: God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac
    LINK: Even though Abraham is respected by foreign powers
          who seek treatys with him and his children,
          nevertheless he was willing to give up his progeny
          which these powers wanted a treaty with

          Even though Abraham had to give up Ishmael and
          only had one child left he nevertheless was willing
          to give us Isaac also. But whereas Abraham lost
          Ishmael(as a successor) he did not lose Isaac(as
          a successor)


(3) Gn40-01a
    --------
    PRIOR CHAPTER: Joseph was jailed & framed by his bosses wife
    NEXT  CHAPTER: The Baker and Chief wine pourer were jailed
    LINK:          Even though Joseph was a slave and should
                   have been killed, neverhtheless, the King
                   had a birthday party and couldnt afford to
                   go after everybody

                   Even though Joseph was a slave and in jail
                   nevertheless God offered him an opportunity
                   to show his talents so that one day he would
                   be needed
