The companions spoke the truth when they explained the words, “And Yaakov told Rachel that he was her father’s brother” (Bereshit 29:12). It has been explained that “told” refers to Chochmah, that is, to the flow of Chochmah that is called telling. “…and that he was Rivka’s son” (Ibid.) – Rivka’s son rather than Yitzchak’s son. This is an allusion, everything alludes to Chochmah.
For that reason, Yaakov was called whole in every way. Faith appears in him, meaning that he bestowed Chochmah on Malchut called both Rachel and faith. The bestowal of Chochmah is called telling. It is therefore written, “And Yaakov told Rachel,” to indicate the bestowal of Chochmah, instead of, “he said.”
