COMMENTS
|
*1 This is a novelty of mine: Y-A-F does not mean
THIRSTY but rather refers to the more intense
DEHYDRATED
*2 Rashis point is that ESAUV was EXHAUSTED from
hunting, not THIRSTY*10

LONGER FOOTNOTES
|
*10 Rashi states
------------------------------------------
Esauv was exhausted from killing (animals)
------------------------------------------
We interpret KILLING as referring to KILLING
ANIMALS (not people). Rashis point is that
Esauv was EXHAUSTED not THIRSTY. For had he
been thirsty Jacob's request for the birthright
in exchange for food would have been unethical
blackmail. Rashi knew that AYF means EXHAUSTED
from the numerous verses referring to Esauvs
hunting skills.
