창세기 28:8의 미드라쉬

(Gen. 28:10:) AND JACOB SET OUT. This text is related (to Prov. 12:15): THE WAY OF A FOOL IS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES. This refers to Esau the Wicked, according to what is written above (in Gen. 28:8f): NOW ESAU SAW THAT THE DAUGHTERS OF CANAAN WERE EVIL…. SO ESAU SET OUT UNTO ISHMAEL < AND TOOK FOR A WIFE MAHALATH THE DAUGHTER OF ISHMAEL >…. He heaped trouble upon trouble. (Prov. 12:15, cont.:) BUT A WISE MAN LISTENS TO ADVICE. This refers to Jacob.¹Gen. R. 67:12. Thus it is stated (in Gen. 27:42): NOW IT WAS REPORTED TO REBEKAH ABOUT THE WORDS OF HER ELDER SON ESAU (i.e., about his scheming). < SO, HAVING SENT AND CALLED FOR YOUNGER SON JACOB, SHE SAID UNTO HIM: LOOK AT YOUR BROTHER ESAU. HE IS TAKING COMFORT >…. When was he taking comfort? When he would have killed you (Jacob), as stated (ibid., cont.): HE IS TAKING COMFORT < IN SCHEMING > AGAINST YOU TO KILL YOU. (Gen. 27:43:) SO NOW, MY SON, HEED MY VOICE. What is the meaning of SO NOW, MY SON? She said to him: Yesterday you heeded me and received the blessings; now heed me in order to remain alive. He said to her: But is that the proper way? For me to set out without Daddy's knowledge? If he also tells me, I will do so. Immediately (we read in Gen. 28:1f.): SO ISAAC CALLED JACOB AND BLESSED HIM…. ARISE AND GO TO PADDAN-ARAM…. As soon as he heard that, he said to him: Give me an exiterion {i.e., travel instructions}.²The Greek word means “departing blessing.” He said to him (in vs. 3): MAY GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS YOU. Immediately (we read in vs. 7): SO JACOB HEEDED HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER AND WENT TO PADDAN-ARAM…. (Gen. 28:10:) AND JACOB SET OUT. Ergo (in Prov. 12:15, cont.): BUT A WISE MAN LISTENS TO ADVICE.

“Haman saw that Mordekhai was not bowing and prostrating himself to him and Haman was filled with wrath” (Esther 3:5).
“Haman saw that Mordekhai was not bowing and prostrating himself to him” – Rabbi Aivu said: “May their eyes,” of the wicked, “grow dim so they cannot see” (Psalms 69:24). Because the sight of the eyes of the wicked takes them down to Gehenna; that is what is written: “The children of the great saw the daughters of man”⁵The children of the great sinned in doing so. See the following verses. (Genesis 6:2); “Ham, father of Canaan, saw [the nakedness of his father] (Genesis 9:22); “Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were objectionable [in the eyes of Isaac his father]”⁶Esau had previously married two women from Canaan. (Genesis 28:8); “Balak son of Tzippor saw [all that Israel had done to the Emorites]”⁷He subsequently hired Bilam to curse them. (Numbers 22:2); “Bilam saw that it was pleasing in the eyes of the Lord to bless Israel,”⁸Despite his efforts to curse them. (Numbers 24:1); “Haman saw that Mordekhai was not bowing and prostrating himself to him.”
However, the sight of the eyes of the righteous brings light, as the sight of the eyes of the righteous elevates them to the highest heights; that is what is written: “He [Abraham] lifted his eyes and saw, and behold, three men” (Genesis 18:2); “He [Abraham] saw, and behold, a ram” (Genesis 22:13); “He [Jacob] saw, and behold, a well in the field” (Genesis 29:2); “He [Moses] saw, and behold, a bush” (Exodus 3:2); “Pinḥas saw”⁹He saw the Israelites sinning with the daughters of Midyan and arose to put a stop to it. (Numbers 25:7). Therefore, they are happy with the sight of their eyes, as it is stated: “The upright see this and rejoice” (Psalms 107:42).

And Eliphaz, Esau’s son, was a swift man, an expert with the bow, as his father had taught him, ‎and also in the chase, and a valiant hero.‎‏ ‏And Eliphaz did as he was ordered by his father; and ‎Eliphaz was only thirteen years of age at that time. And Eliphaz arose and took along with him ‎ten of the brothers of his mother, and hurried after Jacob. And he kept close to Jacob, and he ‎lay in wait for him at the boundary of Canaan, opposite the city of Shechem. And when Jacob ‎saw Eliphaz and his men following him, Jacob halted in his way to ascertain what this meant, ‎for he knew nothing about it. But Eliphaz drew his sword and advanced towards Jacob with his ‎men. And Jacob said unto them: What is the cause of your coming hither, and for what reason ‎do you follow me with your naked swords? And Eliphaz approached him, saying: Thus hath my ‎father instructed me to do, and neither shall I depart from the orders which my father hath ‎given me. And when Jacob heard that Esau had spoken unto Eliphaz to use all his force, Jacob ‎came near unto them and entreated Eliphaz and his men, saying: Behold, here is all that I have, ‎and which was given me by my father and mother, take all this and leave me and do not kill ‎me, and may this deed be accounted unto thee a righteousness. And the Lord caused Jacob to ‎find favor in the eyes of Eliphaz and his men, and they listened to the voice of Jacob, and they ‎did not slay him. And Eliphaz and his men took away all that Jacob had, as also the silver and ‎gold that he had brought from Beersheba; they did not leave him the least thing. And Eliphaz ‎went away with his men, and they returned to Esau, to Beersheba, and they informed him of ‎all that had happened unto them with Jacob, and they delivered to him all that they had taken ‎from Jacob. And Esau was very wroth at Eliphaz, his son, and at the men that were with him, ‎for failing to slay Jacob. And they excused themselves, saying: Because Jacob entreated us not ‎to slay him, and our compassion was aroused in his behalf, hence we took of him all he had ‎and brought it unto thee. And Esau took all the silver and gold which Eliphaz had taken from ‎Jacob and stored it away in his house. And when Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and ‎that he gave him a charge, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan; and ‎seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac, his father, and Rebekah, his mother, ‎then went Esau unto Ishmael and took above the wives which he had, Mahalath, the daughter ‎of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to wife.
