What hidden truth was the Torah revealing when the stones beneath Yaakov began to ‘argue’?

new realization that came to him during this sleep in this dream. And I'm going to get to that in one second, but I want to talk about the stones. You mentioned the stones. So when Yakov turns up at this mountain, we know that there were 12 stones and he made them into a barrier around his head and he put the 12 stones there. And the midrash says something unbelievable and the rishona mention it which is these stones started to argue with each other and said I want him to see my head I want to see my head and they have a big fight with each other and then they all locked into one stone and he put his head down on one stone that is what the commentators tell us based upon this stone and it's based upon the fact that it's mentioned in the plural and then in the singular. So what exactly is this all about? stones. And by the way, what does even mean that stones speak and argue and quarrel? So just as a general theme, whenever we see inanimate objects mentioned in the gamarra or midrash talking, it can mean a couple of things. Number one, if a stone could speak, this is what it would say. That's one opinion. Stones don't speak. Mountains don't speak. But we see it many times. Stars don't speak. Many times you'll see the cloud, the sun, the moon, they speak. It doesn't mean they speak. It means if they could, this is what they would say. Right? So this is one idea. Whenever talks about animals speaking, this is what it means. Another opinion is no, there is a spiritual being that is connects to everything in this world. A malik, an angel, to every blade of grass. The garra says that a blade of grass does not grow unless an angel hits it with his finger. There's a certain energy that exists in all forms of life in this world. and represented in Shmayiah, every human, every nation. Same thing over here. So these angels are arguing on behalf of these stones. Okay? So what do these stones represent? There's a lot written on it. But I read something today which is in my head. I'm going to tell you. And it goes like that. Why do they unite? So the simple understanding is they represent the 12 tribes that are come out of Yakov, which haven't come out yet because he's not married yet. But this is part of the prophecy that you're going to meet up with 12 nations going to stones rocks that come out of you. But don't worry, unlike your twin brother comes against you, right? And your father's brother, right? Who were divided, they're going to be one. So it's actually part of the prophecy, part of the nvu was that these 12 stone represent his descendants because they're like rocks. They're going to live forever and they're going to be united. Do not worry. So, it's actually a reassurance. That's one interpretation. But I'll give you another one I just read today. And it says like this. It represents Torah. Torah. Torah.
