What an unusual segue from the end of the preceding parsha, Vayetzei, to the beginning of this parsha, Vayeshev. Parshat Vayetzei concludes by listing the descendants of Eisav and all their chieftains. Parshat Vayeshev begins by seeming to list the progeny of Yaakov, but lists only Yosef. What is the connection between Yosef and Eisav, and why is Yosef the only child of Yaakov mentioned here when Yaakov was the father of twelve tribes?
