What is the difference between עיף and יעף? Why is the word for “tired” עיף but in ברכות השחר we say הנותן ליעף כח?
The answer has to do with putting עשו before יעקב
עשו was the first to say עיף, he put himself before יעקב
Also when we remember Amalek we say עיף
When you put יעקב before עשו you say יעף
