hello children in the previous episode we told you that yak married the righteous rivka but for 20 years after the wedding they did not have children they were in great sorrow Yak took Rifka to mount Maria and they stood on opposite sides and began to pray yok said Master of the Universe I want children from the righteous rivka I do not want to marry another woman rivka stood on the other side and prayed as well Hashem accepted yak's prayer first and only afterwards rifka's prayer you're probably asking why because the prayer of a sadik the son of a sadic has greater Merit and Yak was a sadic the son of Abraham who was also a sadic and behold after a short time Rifka felt strong pains in her stomach wow what is this when she passed by synagogues and study halls the baby in her stomach wanted to come out and when she passed by a place where idolatry was practiced the other one wanted to come out she was distressed and ran to Abraham to ask him what's going on Abraham did not explain to her so she went to Shem and ever they were two righteous men Shem told her you have two sons one righteous and one Wicked they will hate each other and will never get along the time of the birth arrived and something strange happened Esa was the first to be born and when he was born his color was red like blood he had a lot of hair and on his leg there was a drawing of a snake oh how different this child is suddenly they saw a hand holding the leg of the first child and immediately Yakov came out rivka was the only one who knew the difference between the two children but she didn't tell anyone about it my grandfather Yakov was not circumcised because Yakov was born circumcised wow what a righteous person but asav was not circumcised because he was red like blood and they feared he might die so yok waited with him until the the age of 13 like yishmael when he reached 13 he didn't want to be circumcised because he was very Wicked asav would lie to his father he would go out to hunt animals shout and from Fear the animal would fall into his hands he did other severe things though Yakov went to study Torah with Shem and ever and was a true righteous [Music] person at the age of 175 Abraham passed away he was supposed to live five more years but Hashem did not want him to see asa's deeds and be distressed therefore five years were taken from his life when esav heard that his grandfather had passed away he said to himself now I can do whatever I want worship idols harm people and kill Nimrod and so it was asov returned home tired and lay on the couch he said to Yakov I'm not interested in being the first born I see no need for it I'm not interested in working in the temple or offering sacrifices it doesn't interest me Yakov said to him if so sell me the birthright I will pay you a respectable sum of money and esav agreed esav did not know the birthright would allow him to be buried in the cave of Mella with the Holy ancestors and so Yakov received the birthright he gave him the money and fed him the lentil stew at that time there was a famine in the land of Israel yok and Rifka went to girar there was a king there named aame yok asked Rifka not to say she was his wife because they would kill him and take her and so it was but that night abamec looked out the window and saw that yak and rivka were not brother and sister but husband and wife in the morning aame approached yak and asked him why did you do this to us why didn't you tell us that rivka is your wife Yak told him I knew that the people here are wicked and they would kill me if I said she is my wife aame told the people of his City whoever touches Rifka will be killed while Yak lived in gar he had Wells and Hashem gave a blessing to Yar all the wells were filled with more water than those of the pish team they envied him and they decided to fill all the wells with sand yot did not want to fight from the day Yak left gerar the blessing that the plishtim had ended after some time they searched for him to ask for his forgiveness Yak forgave them esav and Yakov were already 63 years old esav got married at the age of 40 he has two wives and children and Yakov sits and studies tour Pak arrived Yak became blind he was 123 years old and he thought to himself I am already old and maybe I will die soon so I need to bless my children Yakov does not need a blessing because he is blessed he studies Torah but asav is always seeking money he's the one I need to bless he called esav and asked him to go hunt some game and he instructed him to take a sharp knife and Slaughter according to the law and not to take from theft esav thought to himself I'll kill an animal and bring it to my father Hashem wanted to save yak and caused Rifka to hear yak's request to esav she was horrified so she told Yakov to go and bring two goats and go in with the food I prepare for your father and receive the blessings Yakov was shocked but Rifka reassured him and dressed him in special clothes like Esau's Yakov entered and Yak asked who are you I am asav your firstborn how did you come so quickly Yak asked Hashem arranged the goats for me Yak said the voice is the voice of Yakov but the hands are the hands of asav come closer to me and I will bless you Yakov approached Yak received the blessings and left as soon as he left asov entered who was blinded by the Sun and did not see yakob esav couldn't catch a deer and every time he did the angel released it to delay him so esav went and Slaughter Ed a dog when Esa came to receive the blessings he said here I am to receive the blessing father yok was shocked and said I already blessed your brother he took your blessings asav cried and asked Yak to bless him too in his heart asav said as soon as my father dies I will go and kill my brother Yakov Rifka knew this through divine inspiration she called Yakov and told him to go to her brother lvon in Haron there he can also get married stay there until I call you
