Chasidut על בראשית לב:יא

Kedushat Levi

Genesis 32,11. “please save me from my brother, i.e. ‎from Esau;” Esau represents the negative side of the ‎emanations, Satan, the angel of death, the evil urge within us. ‎Yaakov prays that his brother should not turn out to be a Satan ‎in disguise, just as the evil urge sometimes portrays something ‎sinful as if it were a good deed, a ‎מצוה‎, so as to enable us to ‎salvage our conscience when following his advice.‎
