וְצֵא֙ הַשָּׂדֶ֔ה וְצ֥וּדָה לִּ֖י צָֽיִד ׃
Make delicious food for me
Go out to the field and hunt for me
I am old and don't know when I'm going to die
וְרִבְקָ֣ה שֹׁמַ֔עַת בְּדַבֵּ֣ר יִצְחָ֔ק אֶל־עֵשָׂ֖ו בְּנ֑וֹ
Rivka dressed Ya'akov her son in Esav's clothes
Yitzchak heard Rivka speaking to her son Yaakov
Rivka overheard when Yitzchak as speaking to his son Esav
עֵשָׂ֤ו אָחִי֙ אִ֣ישׁ שָׂעִ֔ר וְאָנֹכִ֖י אִ֥ישׁ חָלָֽק׃
Esav my brother is a hairy man and I am smooth
Esav was born hairy and Yaakov was holding on to his heel
Esav is my brother and I bought the birthright
עָלַ֥י קִלְלָתְךָ֖ בְּנִ֑י
You are my cursed son
Your curse will be upon me, son
Esav is the cursed son
Why is it strange that Rivka said, "Your curse will be upon me, son"?
Because why would she risk her life?
Because Yaakov had good intentions
Because everyone is responsible for his own actions
וַתִּקַּ֣ח רִ֠בְקָ֠ה אֶת־בִּגְדֵ֨י עֵשָׂ֜ו בְּנָ֤הּ הַגָּדֹל֙ הַחֲמֻדֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתָּ֖הּ בַּבָּ֑יִת וַתַּלְבֵּ֥שׁ אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּנָ֥הּ הַקָּטָֽן׃
This pasuk describes Rivka cooking food for Yitzchak
This pasuk describes Rivka dressing Yaakov up in Esav's clothes
This pasuk describes what Yitzchak looked like on the day he asked Esav to go hunt for him
אָנֹכִי֙ עֵשָׂ֣ו בְּכֹרֶ֔ךָ
What is the simple meaning?
I am Esav your first born
I am the one who brought you the food and Esav is your first born
אָנֹכִי֙ עֵשָׂ֣ו בְּכֹרֶ֔ךָ
How does Rashi explain this?
I am Esav your first born
I am the one who brought you the food and Esav is your first born
We explained in our class:
That Yaakov admitted to Yitzchak that he wasn't Esav
That Yaakov told Yitzchak he WAS Esav, but was saying to himself, "I am the one who brought you the food; Esav is your firstborn"
That Esav told Yitzchak that Yaakov was pretending to be him
קֽוּם־נָ֣א שְׁבָ֗ה וְאׇכְלָה֙ מִצֵּידִ֔י
Please sit up and eat from my hunted meat.
Who said this?
Yaakov
Esav
Yitzchak
יָקֻ֤ם אָבִי֙ וְיֹאכַל֙ מִצֵּ֣יד בְּנ֔וֹ
Let my father sit up and eat from the hunted meat of his son.
Who said this?
Yaakov
Esav
Yitzchak
הַקֹּל֙ ק֣וֹל יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְהַיָּדַ֖יִם יְדֵ֥י עֵשָֽׂו׃
The voice is Esav's and the hands are Yaakov's
The voice is Yaakov's and the hands are Esav's
Neither the blue or green answers
What was the final thing that convinced Yitzchak that Yaakov was Esav?
His voice
His hands
The smell of his clothes
Remember the story about Caleb's sky blue 21-speed bicycle? What could he have done if the shop sent him a tricycle instead?!
Yell at the owner and say, "Do you know who I am? I'm Ariel Sher's brother!"
Accept the tricycle cause it's better than getting nothing
Ask for his money back
So technically, Yitzchak...
could have 'taken back' the bracha he gave to Yaakov when he found out what really happened
couldn't have 'taken back' the bracha he gave to Yaakov when he found out what really happened
Here's what Yitzchak, though, did say:
גַּם־בָּר֖וּךְ יִהְיֶֽה
Meaning:
He loses the bracha
He still gets the bracha
I have an extra bracha for you, Esav
