Now, thirty-four years later, after fourteen years of study in the Academy of Shem and Ever and twenty years with Laban, Esau's hatred Bereishit 32:4 – 36:43 Hertz Chumash pp. 122-134 Artscroll, pp. 170 remained strong. As Jacob advanced toward Israel with his family, Esau advanced toward Haftorah Ovadyah Hertz Chumash, pp. 137 Artscroll, pp. 1141 him with an imposing army, determined to carry out his threat. The confrontation between the two brothers is recorded to show how G-d sent an angel to save Jacob from the stronger enemy, Esau.
