The Hebrew Word
The name of this week's parashah, ויצא [vayetze- Strong's #3318], comes from the Hebrew word יצא [yatsa], which is a primitive Hebrew root word meaning "to go". It is used 1214 times in 990 verses in the Tanakh.
First use in Scripture
The first time yatsa is used in Scripture is in Genesis 1.
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and G-d saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)
This passage literally reads, "Went forth from the earth vegetation..."
Last use in Scripture
The last time yatsa is used in Scripture is in Malachi 4.
"But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall. (Malachi 4:2)
