Yosef vs. Esav

Hi,

"R’ Pinchas cited R’ Shemuel bar Nachman: The tradition is that Esav will fall into the hands of Rachel’s descendants...

"And therefore Moshe told Yehoshua, who was from Yosef, to pick people to fight Amalek...

"This one was called a ‘youth’ and this one was called ‘small’; this one grew up among two righteous people and did not learn from their deeds and this one grew up among two wicked people and did not learn from their deeds; this one received firstborn status because of his good deeds and this one lost his firstborn status because of his bad deeds; this one fed his brothers and this one tried to kill his brother; this one kept himself from immorality and murder and this one dirtied himself with immorality and murder; this one acknowledged the ultimate resurrection of the dead and this one denied the ultimate resurrection of the dead; this one gave his life for his mother’s honor and this one tried to kill his mother. This one will fall into the hands of that one."

(Midrash Tanchuma (Warsaw), Parshat Ki Tetze 10)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
