<point><b>"וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ"</b> – Rashbam suggests that Yaakov was attempting to run away from Esav, as he did not sufficiently trust that Hashem would protect him. Yaakov, thus, had his family cross the river to escape under the cover of darkness. However, before he himself managed to cross, he found himself attacked by the angel.<fn>It is not clear, though, how Yaakov could have thought that he and his family would be able to elude Esav and his army for any extended period of time.</fn></point> | <point><b>"וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ"</b> – Rashbam suggests that Yaakov was attempting to run away from Esav, as he did not sufficiently trust that Hashem would protect him.
