Why are there dots over all these letters? This is what Ezra
said: If Elijah comes and says to me, why the heck did you write this down? I
shall say to him, I made marks over them. And if he says to me, You wrote it
well, I shall take the marks off them.
Vayishlach
PART ONE (Beraysheet
32:4 –33:17)
Now Ya’akov sent
messengers on ahead of him to Esav his brother in the land of Se’ir, in the
territory of Edom, and charged them, saying:
Say to my lord, to Esav:
So says your servant Yaakov:
I have traveled with Lavan and have gone-slowly until now.
Ox and donkey, sheep
and servant and maid have become mine.
So I have sent to tell my lord, to find favor in your eyes.
The messengers
returned to Yaakov, saying:
“We came to your brother, to Esav—
but he is already coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him!”
Yaakov became
exceedingly afraid and was distressed.
He divided the people that were with him and the sheep and the oxen and the
camels into two camps;
he said [to
himself]:
Should Esav come against the one camp and strike it, the camp that is left will
be a remnant-that-escapes. Then Yaakov
said:
“God of my father Avraham, God of my
father Yitzhak, O Adonai,
who said to me: Return to your land, to your kindred, and I will deal well
with you!—
too small am I for
all the loyalty and faithfulness that you have shown your servant.
For with [only] my staff did I cross this Jordan, and now I have become two
camps.
Pray save me from
the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esav!
For I am in fear of him,
lest he come and strike me down, mothers and children alike!
Yet you, you have
said:
I will deal well, well with you,
I will make your seed like the sand of the sea, which is too much to count!”
He spent the night
there that night,
and took a gift from what was at hand, for Esav his brother:
she-goats, two
hundred, and kids, twenty,
ewes, two hundred, and rams, twenty,
nursing camels and
their young, thirty,
cows, forty, and bulls, ten,
she-donkeys, twenty, and colts, ten;
he handed them over
to his servants, herd by herd separately,
and said to his servants:
“Cross on ahead of me, and leave room between herd and herd.”
He charged the first
group, saying:
“When Esav my brother meets you and asks you, saying: To whom do you belong,
where are you going, and to whom do these ahead of you belong?
Then say:
—to your servant, to
Yaakov, it is a gift sent to my lord, to Esav,
and here, he himself is also behind us.”
Thus he charged the
second, and thus the third, and thus all that were walking behind the herds,
saying: According to this word shall you
speak to Esav when you come upon him:
you shall say: Also—here,
your servant Yaakov is behind us. For he said [to himself]:
I will wipe [the anger from] his face
with the gift that goes “ahead of my face;”
afterward, when I see his face,
perhaps he will lift up my face!
The gift crossed
over “ahead of his face,” but he spent
the night on that night in the camp. He arose during that night and took his two wives, his two maids, and
his eleven children
to cross the Yabbok crossing. He took them and brought them across the river;
he brought across what belonged to him.
And Yaakov was left
alone—
PART TWO: Chapter 33
Yaakov lifted up his
eyes and saw:
there was Esav coming, and with him, four hundred men!
He divided the children among Le’ah, Rachel, and the two maids:
he put the maids and
their children first,
Le’ah and her children behind them, and Rahel and Yosef behind them,
while he himself
advanced ahead of them.
And he bowed low to the earth seven times, until he had come close to him, to
his brother.
Esav ran to meet
him;
he embraced him, flung himself upon his neck, and kissed him.
And they wept.
Then he lifted up
his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said:
What are these to you?
He said:
—the children with whom God has favored your servant.
Then the maids came
close, they and their children, and bowed low.
Then Le’a and her
children came close and bowed low.
Afterward Yosef and Rahel came close and bowed low.
He said:
What to you is all this camp that I have met?
He said:
—To find favor in my lord’s eyes.
Esav said:
I have plenty, my brother, let what is yours remain yours.
Yaakov said:
No, I pray!
Pray, if I have found favor in your eyes,
then take this gift from my hand.
For I have, after all, seen your face, as one sees the face of God,
and you have been gracious to me.
Pray take my
token-of-blessing that is brought to you,
for God has shown me favor—for I have everything.
And he pressed him, so he took it.
Then he said:
Let us move on and go, and I will go at your side.
But he said to him:
My lord knows
that the children are frail,
and the sheep and the oxen are suckling in my care;
if we were to push them for a single day, all the animals would die!
Pray let my lord
cross on ahead of his servant,
while as for me, I will travel slowly,
at the pace of the gear ahead of me and at the pace of the children,
until I come to my lord, at Se’ir.
PART THREE CH. 35 vv
16-21
They moved on from
Bet-El/House of God.
But when there was still a stretch of land to come to Efrat,
Rahel began to give birth,
and she had a very hard birthing.
It was, when her
birthing was at its hardest,
that the midwife said to her:
Do not be afraid,
for this one too is a son for you!
It was, as her life
was slipping away
—for she was dying—
that she called his name: Ben-Oni/Son-of-My-Woe.
But his father called him: Binyamin/Son-of-my-Right-Hand.
So Rahel died;
she was buried along the way to Efrat—that is Bet-Lehem.
Yaakov set up a
standing-pillar over her burial-place;
that is Rahel’s burial pillar of today.
PART FOUR CH. 35
vv.27-29
Yaakov came home to
Yitzhak his father at Mamre, in the city of Arba—
that is Hevron,
where Avraham and Yitzhak had sojourned.
And the days of
Yitzhak were a hundred years and eighty years,
Then Yitzhak
expired.
He died and was gathered to his kinspeople, old and satisfied in days.
Esav and Yaakov his sons buried him.
