VAYISHLAJ Jacob returns to the Holy Land after twenty years of living in Jaran. He sends Malachim emissaries to Eisav for a reconciliation, But his messengers report that his brother is on his way to him with 400 armed men. Yacov prepares for war, prays, and sends a gift to Eisav (consisting of hundreds of sheep and cows) to calm him down. That night, Jacob crosses his family and possessions by the Iabok River. “Jacob” means “who will hold him by the heel” The name Jacob comes from the noun “akav” which means “heel” and describes the patriarch before the meeting in Peniel. He connected to his earthly situation full of afflictions.
