Yaakov's Dividing of his Camp
Exegetical Approaches
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.
