What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

this is a very intense moment right now in the story of Yakov he's leaving Lavan and all of the difficulty that that entailed he's not having an easy time right now yob and he's coming back into Israel and this is not a happy ending to by any means to his story and he finds out that ASA is coming to meet him with 400 men now if we know how the story ended in before when yov got the bras we we know that that ASA wanted to kill yakob and said I'm gonna wait until my father dies and kill him or he even sent actually he didn't even wait he said he sent elifas to kill him and and luckily fortunately for yov elifas did not kill him um so now Yakov is faced with this threat of asov coming with 400 men to attack him and his family and all what he has and it's a very intense moment and we see him interestingly enough we see him preparing himself for this this conf confrontation in a few different ways so first of all the verse says that he was afraid and that's what we're going to address we're going to address the idea of Yakov being afraid Yakov decides to send Messengers angels two different two different interpretations whether they were just regular Messengers or whether they were in fact angels and he also sends a lot of gifts to give Asa to appease him that's one of the things that uh that yob does now it says over here when he finds out that ASA is coming at
