Midrash sa Genesis 27:45: Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition), Aggadat Bereshit & Bereshit Rabbah

עַד־שׁ֨וּב אַף־אָחִ֜יךָ מִמְּךָ֗ וְשָׁכַח֙ אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֣יתָ לּ֔וֹ וְשָׁלַחְתִּ֖י וּלְקַחְתִּ֣יךָ מִשָּׁ֑ם לָמָ֥ה אֶשְׁכַּ֛ל גַּם־שְׁנֵיכֶ֖ם י֥וֹם אֶחָֽד׃

hanggang sa mapawi ang galit sa iyo ng iyong kapatid, at malimutan niya ang ginawa mo sa kanya; at magpapasugo ako at kukunin kita mula roon. Bakit ako mawawalan ng inyong dalawa sa iisang araw?”

Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

And they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation. We are taught that even the very horses and asses joined in it. On arriving at the Cave of Machpelah, Esau once more protested, and said; Kiryatharbaa the same is Hebron." R. Isaac explained the meaning of the above name is that four pair were to be buried. Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah. Jacob disposed of his share when he buried Leah in it, and the remaining one belongs to me." But thou didst sell thy share with thy birthright," remonstrated the sons of Jacob. "Nay," rejoined Esau, "that did not include my share in the burial-place." "Indeed it did," they argued, "for our father, just before he died, said (Gen. 1, 5) 'In my grave which I have bought for myself.'" In the land of Canaan, "Where are the title deeds?" demanded Esau. "In Egypt," they replied. "Then let some one go for them immediately. The swift-footed Naphthali concerning whom the passage says (Ib. 49, 21) Naphthali is a hind let loose; he giveth goodly words, started for the records. Hushim, the son of Dan, being deaf, asked what was the cause of the commotion. When he was told that Esau stopped the interment until the deed would be brought from Egypt. "And until Naphthali returns from Egypt my father shall be in disgrace?" remarked he. Thereupon he snatched up a club and smote Esau so hard that his eyes dropped out and fell upon the feet of Jacob, at which Jacob opened his eyes and grimly smiled. This is the meaning of the passage (Ps. 58, 10) The righteous shall rejoice when he sees vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. In that moment Rebekah's prophecy was fulfilled (Gen. 27, 45) Why shall I be deprived also of you both in one day? For although they did not both die on the same day, both were nevertheless buried on the same day. Is it then possible that if Joseph would not have attended to the burial of his father, that his brothers would not have done it? Behold the passage says (Gen. 50, 13) And his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, [hence all his children performed the duty?] Indeed they were ready to perform the duty. They said, however, let us leave this task to Joseph because his (Jacob's honor will be greater when he is attended by kings than by ordinary people.

Aggadat Bereshit

Chapter (45) 46: Torah. [1] "And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba" (Genesis 28:10) - This is the path of a fool, straight in his own eyes [and listens to wise advice] (Proverbs 12:15). This refers to Esau, as it is written: "And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of Isaac his father" (Genesis 28:8), and "Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath" (Genesis 28:9). He added trouble upon trouble. "The path of a fool is straight in his own eyes, but he who listens to counsel is wise" (Proverbs 12:15) - This refers to Jacob, as it is written: "And Rebekah was told about the words of Esau her son" (Genesis 27:42), [and she said] "Why should I be deprived of both of you in one day?" (Genesis 27:45) - Until when will he console me? When he kills you! "And now, my son, listen to my voice" (Genesis 27:8). She said to him, "You have already listened to me and taken the blessings, so now listen to me again and live" - Jacob replied. "And this is the way that I will deceive my father" (Genesis 27:12), and he said to her, "Even he said [to me], 'do it,' and I will do it" (Genesis 27:13), and Isaac called to Jacob, saying "Arise, go to Paddan-Aram" (Genesis 28:2). As soon as Jacob heard this, he said to Isaac, "Give me your blessing" - and Isaac said to him, "May God Almighty bless you" (Genesis 28:3), and immediately "Jacob listened" (Genesis 28:5) and "Jacob went out and encountered the place" (Genesis 28:11). Therefore, it is said, "and he who listens to wise counsel."

Bereshit Rabbah

“Now my son, heed my voice and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran” (Genesis 27:43).
“Live with him a few years, until your brother’s anger will subside” (Genesis 27:44).

“Now my son, heed my voice and arise, flee…live with him a few [aḥadim] years.” It is written: “Jacob worked seven years for Rachel; they were in his eyes but a few [aḥadim] days, in his love of her” (Genesis 29:20). Rabbi Ḥanina bar Pazi said: Aḥadim is written here and aḥadim is written elsewhere. Just as elsewhere, aḥadim is seven years, so, too aḥadim that is stated here is seven years.
“Until your brother’s anger will subside from you, and he will forget that which you did to him, and I will send and take you from there; why should I be bereaved of both of you on one day?” (Genesis 27:45).
“Until your brother’s anger will subside” – his mother in her righteousness said: “Until your brother’s anger will subside,” but he did not do so, but rather: “His wrath mauled perpetually and his fury kept forever” (Amos 1:11). Reish Lakish said: His fury and his wrath did not move from his mouth – “why should I be bereaved of both of you?”
