          <text>1 While in heaven, the soul doesn&apos;t want to descend into this spiritually barren world. It is therefore &quot;forced to be born.&quot; However, after it realizes the great connection to God that can only be accomplished by fulfilling His commandments in this world, it doesn&apos;t want to leave. God must therefore &quot;force&quot; it to leave once its mission has been completed.</text>

          <text>2 You should always be looking to learn lessons from everything you see and hear. When you learn something about the creation of the entire world, your first question should be: What lesson can I learn from this?</text>

          <text>3 The word לְהִפָּרַע means to collect payment. God isn&apos;t mean, and He didn&apos;t create the world to punish &quot;bad&quot; people. God created the world to be made a holy place through the Torah and its commandments. When a person chooses the wrong path and doesn&apos;t fulfill that mission, he owes God. The debt can be repaid by repenting.</text>

          <text>4 Abraham passed ten extremely difficult tests. Since he is our father, we inherit this ability to pass tests. When you feel that you are being tested, keep in mind that you are a descendant of Abraham and he empowers you to succeed!</text>

          <text>5 The Hebrew word for &quot;miracle,&quot; נס, can also be translated as &quot;raised.&quot; Under normal circumstances, the Jewish Nation would have been punished in Egypt because they engaged in idolatry. Nevertheless, when God brought each of the ten plagues upon the Egyptians, He &quot;raised&quot; the Jewish Nation above the natural order of justice so that they remained unaffected.</text>
