CHAMISHOH MI YODEI'A

CHAMISHOH MI YODEI'A - FIVE QUESTIONS ON THE WEEKLY SEDRAH - PARSHAS BREISHIS 5766 - BS"D

1) Ch. 1, v. 3: "Y'hi ohr" - There shall be light - What is the difference between "y'h'yeh" and "y'hi"?

2) Ch. 1, v. 5: "Va'y'hi erev va'y'hi voker yom ECHOD" - Why doesn't the verse use the ordinal word "rishon," as it does from the second day onward, "sheini," rather than "shnayim"?

3) Ch. 1, v. 2: "Hamoyim" - The water - Why does this word always appear in the plural form?

Ch. 1, v. 25: "Va'yaas Elokim .. kol remmes ho'adomoh" - For what purpose did Hashem create bugs?

5) Ch. 3, v. 16: "Itzvoneich v'heironeich"- The gemara Eiruvin 100b says that "itzvoneich" refers to the difficulty of raising children, while "heironeich" refers to the difficulty of pregnancy. Why is the order switched since pregnancy comes before raising children?
