Chasidut su Genesi 31:18

וַיִּנְהַ֣ג אֶת־כָּל־מִקְנֵ֗הוּ וְאֶת־כָּל־רְכֻשׁוֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָכָ֔שׁ מִקְנֵה֙ קִנְיָנ֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר רָכַ֖שׁ בְּפַדַּ֣ן אֲרָ֑ם לָב֛וֹא אֶל־יִצְחָ֥ק אָבִ֖יו אַ֥רְצָה כְּנָֽעַן׃

E menò via tutto il suo bestiame, e tutti gli averi che aveva ammassati; le sostanze di sua proprietà che aveva ammassato in Paddàn-Aràm; per recarsi presso Isacco suo padre, nella terra di Cànaan.

Kedushat Levi

Genesis 31,18. “he guided all his livestock and all his ‎portable possessions , the ones he had acquired while in ‎Padan Aram, and in order to go back to his father ‎Yitzchok”. The last few words about Yaakov returning to his ‎father appear superfluous; the moral/ethical lesson that the ‎Torah teaches by describing Yaakov’s motivation in returning to ‎the land of Israel as being to become reunited with his father, is ‎that although G’d had promised Yaakov that he would become a ‎founder of a great nation, would expand in all directions of the ‎globe, none of these promises weighed on his decision to return ‎forthwith to the land of Israel. His concern was the opportunity ‎to once more be able to fulfill the commandment of honouring ‎his father (his mother having died during his absence).‎
