Commento su Genesi 33:18

שלם SAFELY (literally, whole, perfect, unimpaired) — unimpaired in body (health) because he was cured of his lameness; whole as regards his possessions for he was not short of anything even though he had given that gift (for his remaining cattle soon bore other young; cf. Rashi on Genesis 30:43); and perfect in his knowledge of the Torah for whilst he was in Laban’s house he had not forgotten what he had before learned (Shabbat 33b).

AND JACOB CAME IN PEACE … FROM PADDAN-ARAM. [This is stated here in the same manner] as a person says to his friend, “That man there has come from between the teeth of the lions and has arrived unhurt.” Similarly here, And Jacob came in peace, i.e., from Laban and from Esau. This is the language of Rashi. But Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra explained that the sense of the verse is that Jacob arrived in peace from his lengthy journey and nothing happened to him, as Scripture now begins to narrate the event of Dinah.
In my opinion Scripture speaks thus since for the length of his sojourn in Succoth⁹⁹Verse 17 here. he was fearful of Esau. Succoth — if it be the one mentioned in the book of Joshua¹⁰⁰Joshua 13:27. — was east of the Jordan, in the kingdom of Sihon, and if it be another city by that name, it was nearer to Se’ir. Thus until he entered the land of Canaan Jacob did not feel safe, for only then did he know that Esau would not touch him for his father was nearby, or because the people of the land would help him as his father was a prince of G-d in their midst, or because the merit of having entered the land would save him. And therefore, Scripture now said that he came in peace into the land of his father’s sojourning¹⁰¹Further, 37:1. since G-d delivered him in his travels out of the hand of all his enemies.¹⁰²II Samuel 22:1. And the Rabbis have said in Bereshith Rabbah¹⁰³78:20. that during all these months that our father Jacob stayed in Succoth he honored Esau with that present enumerated above¹⁰⁴32:14-15. by Scripture for he was afraid of him there, and monthly or annually he would send him a comparable present.

ויבא יעקב שלם, to the city named Shalem. The construction is similar to ותבאנה בית לחם, “they arrived at Bet Lechem.” (Ruth 1,19)
