"Protect me." Jacob asked that the Holy One Blessed Be God save him from idol worship, adultery, and bloodshed. But in the end, his children stumbled in all of these. "And give me bread to eat." From here we learn that the righteous should not ask for things except for their sustenance and their needs. And Jacob did not even have a garment to wear at the time he left Be'er Sheva, as Esau his brother wanted to kill him. Elifaz was the student of Jacob (Isaac), and asked: What should I do that I won't kill you? And to fulfill the command of his father, they stole all of his money and even all of his garments and left him naked. And poor people are considered like dead people, that four are considered like the dead.
