פּירוש אויף בראשית 31:1

עשה HE HATH MADE — i.e. gathered, as (1 Samuel 14:48) “And he gathered (ויעש) troops and smote the Amalekites”.

הכבוד, the weight and power of the money. We have already encountered the word כבד as an adjective describing the wealth in Genesis 13,2.

“Jacob took all that belonged to our father.” Later they said “and from what belonged to our father he made all this wealth.” The word from what implies only a portion and not everything, thus their statements seem to contradict each other. Moreover, it is difficult to understand how they could speak such an obvious falsehood — did Jacob really take everything that belonged to their father, leaving him with nothing? After all, Laban still had sheep, cattle, and tents! The explanation of these matters is as follows: Initially, they weren’t speaking about physical possessions at all, but rather about the schemes and matters of deception in which their father was more expert and knowledgeable than anyone else in the world. He was able to deceive others, but others could not deceive him. Jacob learned all of Laban’s deceptive ways until even Laban himself couldn’t stand against him, for Jacob outmaneuvered Laban. Regarding this they said Jacob took all that belonged to our father — meaning he acquired all his methods of deception. When speaking about the actual wealth, they said and from what belonged to our father he made all this glory/wealth.
