"Yehudah said to … his father: Send the lad with me … I will guarantee him … If I do not bring him to you and stand him up before you, I will have sinned against you all of the days" (43:8-9).
Yehudah used the phrase kol ha-yamim, "all of the days," which our Sages explain as a reference to the future era. Indeed, the word kol (כּל), "all," is used elsewhere to refer to the future era. However, it appears that this is not a reference to the era of resurrection, but rather, yemos ha-moshiach, "the days of Moshiach," meaning the initial era of redemption that will precede the great resurrection. The Torah informs us that we should perform our divine service "with happiness and with gladness of heart, from an abundance of everything" (Devarim 28:47). The phrase mei-rov kol, "from an abundance of everything," or "from an abundance of Kol," refers to the great spiritual abundance that G-d will provide to each individual in the era of redemption as a result of the service of G-d that he performs in the present era.
