Reply To: Chukas — Yisrael’s Potential

I don’t think that’s clear from the pasukim. Rashi doesn’t say so, though I haven’t looked at other meforshim. Common sense would wonder why Esav would be heading toward Ya’akov before he was informed about the latter’s arrival. I think the simplest explanation is that Esav headed towards Ya’akov after being informed of his presence.
