Contents

Birth of Yackov and Esav

The generations of Yitzchak the son of Avrahom were Yackov and Esav.[1] Hashem created Yitzchak's facial features to greatly resembled Avrahom. This was done to dispute the claim of the generation's scoffers that Sarah had conceived from Avimelech for she had lived with Abraham for many years and had not conceived from him.[1]


Taking Firstborn Status

When the forces of evil attack a person and he fights back, not only is he able to recover the energy they stole from him, he is able to extract energy that was buried deep inside of them from what they had previously captured. Therefore when Yaakov battled the damages of Esav he was able to extract from him even the status of Firstborn.[2]

Trickery of Yackov

Esav tried very hard to deceive his father with all his trickery and lies, until he would bring the supernal blessings upon him. Yackov was therefore forced to move against Esav in great trickery as well until he managed to snatch the blessings from him.[2]

Blessing of Esav

Esav's blessing of "on your sword you shall live" is the cause for the great lengthening of the exile.[2]
