This suggests that the purpose of the attack upon Jacob is to hinder his return to his homeland, the future national territory of the Children of Israel, unless and until Jacob is prepared to assume the mantle of rightful leadership. To achieve this Jacob must earn the paternal blessing, that he obtained by trickery, through a reconciliation…
…r accounts can be highly instructive.³ Thus we need not be deterred by the reservations of those who question the nonviolent nature of these incidents either on the grounds that the threat of violence may have stood behind the nonviolent resistance, or on the grounds that the Jews had no realistic options for violent resistance.4 The backdrop to the incidents we are about to examine is described by E.
