הָאֹמֵ֗ר אֶבְנֶה־לִּי֙ בֵּ֣ית מִדּ֔וֹת וַעֲלִיּ֖וֹת מְרֻוָּחִ֑ים וְקָ֤רַֽע לוֹ֙ חַלּוֹנָ֔י וְסָפ֣וּן בָּאָ֔רֶז וּמָשׁ֖וֹחַ בַּשָּׁשַֽׁר׃
그가 이르기를 내가 나를 위하여 광대한 집과 광활한 다락방을 지으리라 하고 자기를 위하여 창을 만들고 그것에 백향목으로 입히고 붉은 빛으로 칠하도다
Bereshit Rabbah
“Jacob cooked a stew, and Esau came from the field and he was weary” (Genesis 25:29).
“Jacob cooked a stew” – he [Esau] said to him: ‘What is the nature of this stew?’ He said to him: ‘It is because that elder31Abraham. died.’ He said: ‘Did the attribute of justice strike that elder?’ He said to him: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘If so, there is no granting of reward and no revival of the dead.’32Esau was claiming that if the righteous Abraham died at a young age relative to Adam and Noah, that proved that there was no reward for righteousness. (Etz Yosef) The Divine Spirit screams: “Do not weep for the dead, and do not be moved for him” (Jeremiah 22:10) – this is Abraham; “Weep for one who is leaving” (Jeremiah 22:10) – this is Esau.
