Still fearful of Esav, Ya’akov sent messengers to him a message of reconciliation. However, they returned with a grim report, Esav was preparing to “greet him” with 400 men. In response, Ya’akov sent him an extravagant gift of hundreds of cattle, donkeys, and camels. He split his family into two camps, so if one was attacked, the other would be able to escape, and then he turned to G-d to pray. We find what made Ya’akov so worried. We learn about the human dilemma.
