Pensée juive sur La Genèse 32:23

וַיָּ֣קָם ׀ בַּלַּ֣יְלָה ה֗וּא וַיִּקַּ֞ח אֶת־שְׁתֵּ֤י נָשָׁיו֙ וְאֶת־שְׁתֵּ֣י שִׁפְחֹתָ֔יו וְאֶת־אַחַ֥ד עָשָׂ֖ר יְלָדָ֑יו וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֔ר אֵ֖ת מַעֲבַ֥ר יַבֹּֽק׃

Il se leva, quant à lui, pendant la nuit; il prit ses deux femmes, ses deux servantes et ses onze enfants et passa le gué de Jaboc.

You ‎were a contemporary of Jacob,4 who wrestled with Laban, Esau, and the angel at the stream ‎of ‎Yabok ‎‎(Genesis 32:23–32). Did you help Jacob with advice? Who was Jacob? A poor shepherd. ‎And ‎you? You ‎were rich and a man of influence. Had you related to Jacob with appropriate ‎sympathy ‎and with ‎steadfast loving kindness, he would not have had to pass through such a ‎multitude ‎of ‎tribulations.‎
