"Which were with her in the house" (Genesis 27:15): the garments in which he served his father. Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel said: All my days I served my father, and I did not serve him one hundredth of the way the wicked Esau served his father. When I served my father I would serve him in soiled clothes, and when I went out to the marketplace I would go out in clean clothes. But Esau, when he served his father, would serve him only in royal garments. "Which were with her in the house": how many wives did he have, and you say "which were with her in the house"? Rather, she knew their deeds. There was a case among a band of loose men in a certain village of wheat, who were accustomed to eat and drink in the synagogue every Sabbath eve. After they ate they would take the bones and scatter them upon the teacher. One of them was dying. They said to him: To whom do you entrust your children? He said to them: To the teacher. He said: How dear they were to him, that he entrusted them to the teacher; rather, it was because he knew their deeds. So too, how many wives did he have, and you say "which were with her in the house"; rather, it was because she knew their deeds. "And the skins of the kids of the goats" (Genesis 27:16). Rabbi Yochanan said: The two forearms of our father Jacob were like two pillars of marble, and you say "she put them on him"? Rather, we should say she sewed them on. [Rav Huna in the name of Rabbi Yose said:] The two daily lambs that Israel would offer on the festival, they would mount upon two carts, and their legs trailed on the ground. Cinnamon grew in the land of Israel, and goats and gazelles would eat from it. Rabbi Chanina said: Are not calves slaughtered, olives pressed, and the dust of the mountains the work of miracles?
How Esau Served His Father in Garments Fit for a King
