OU TORAH YU TORAH NAALEH.COM Vayishlach 5778: Animal Allusions By Shira Smiles

Adapted by Channie Koplowitz Stein After Yaakov leaves Lavan’s house, he is apprehensive about returning home and meeting his brother Esau who is probably still angry at him for having received Yitzhak’s blessing as the firstborn. One of the ways he prepares for the meeting is by sending angels/messengers bearing gifts for Esau. Along with the many gifts, he has each group relate this message to Esau, “To my lord Esau, so said your servant Yaakov: I have sojourned with Lavan and have lingered until now. I have acquired an ox(en), a donkey(s), sheep, servant(s) and maidservant(s) and I am sending to tell my lord to find favor in your eyes.” The gifts seem to have had no effect, for the angels returned saying, “We came to your brother Esau. Moreover, he is heading toward you with 400 men.” Obviously, Esau was preparing for war.

RABBI WEIN ON VAYISHLACH 5778

The long-awaited confrontation between the brothers Eisav and Yaakov occurs. At the onset Yaakov is quite concerned over the meeting. He fears that his brother, who is arriving with a band of 400 men, will undoubtedly intend to do him harm. And he knows that his brother is capable of slaughtering innocent women and children. There must have been a great feeling of relief that overcame Yaakov when Eisav takes the gifts that were meant to mollify him.
