Vayechi 5786: Malbim Insights https://youtu.be/GgLc3IGJVs8?si=xkZQ3O4NvDQbtGYv
:וַיִּקְרָ֥א יַֽעֲקֹ֖ב אֶל־בָּנָ֑יו וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ וְאַגִּ֣ידָה לָכֶ֔ם אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָ֥א אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּאַֽחֲרִ֥ית הַיָּמִֽים...הִקָּֽבְצ֥וּ וְשִׁמְע֖וּ בְּנֵ֣י יַֽעֲקֹ֑ב
1) Kibbutz and Asifah are not synonyms. Kibbutz/HiKatzfu means to gather dispersed items. Asifah/HaAsfu means to bring to a specified place. When used together Kibbutz precedes Asifah. 2) Why then did Yaakov Avinu start with הֵאָֽסְפוּ֙ in verse 1, before using הִקָּֽבְצ֥וּ in verse 1? 3) The Malbim shares his insights into why Yaakov used this unusual sequence.
