וַיִּשָּׂ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙ וְהִנֵּ֣ה עֵשָׂ֣ו בָּ֔א וְעִמּ֕וֹ אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וַיַּ֣חַץ אֶת־הַיְלָדִ֗ים עַל־לֵאָה֙ וְעַל־רָחֵ֔ל וְעַ֖ל שְׁתֵּ֥י הַשְּׁפָחֽוֹת׃
야곱이 눈을 들어 보니 에서가 사백인을 거느리고 오는지라 그 자식들을 나누어 레아와 라헬과 두 여종에게 맡기고
Sforno on Genesis
ועמו ארבע מרות איש. To tell us that he had not been appeased even by the substantial gift Yaakov had sent him.
Radak on Genesis
וישא יעקב...ויחץ, he divided them between their respective mothers. Each mother would naturally have stronger concern for her own children and if it came to interceding for her own children would do so with more heart-rending pleas than she would for the children of someone else.
Rav Hirsch on Torah
Er sah Esau nicht durch die Geschenke entwaffnet, er hatte seine Kriegsleute nicht entlassen, da teilte er usw. Wie die Weisen diese ganze Geschichte als Programm für unser Verhalten Esau und den anderen Mächten gegenüber betrachten, so lernen wir auch hier, wenn uns auch die Zuversicht zu Gott und seinen Verheißungen erfüllt, doch immer das Unsrige zu tun, אין סומכין על הנס.
