Yaakov's Dividing of his Camp

Exegetical Approaches

This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

Change of Plan

Though Yaakov originally intended to divide his camp, he changed his mind before meeting Esav.

No Longer Necessary

After his victory over the angel/man, Yaakov no longer feared his brother and saw no need to rearrange his camp in preparation for the encounter.

No Longer Possible

Though Yaakov wanted to split his camp right up to the moment of meeting, the struggle with the angel/man prevented him from being able to do so.
