Note sull'episodio

When Esav heard the words of his father, he cried a cry that was great and very bitter. And he said “bless me as well, father!.”

Esav knows that Yaakov has received the blessing that was intended for him. Hurt and saddened, he begs his father to bless him. Yet, he has no idea what blessing his father gave to Yaakov.

Why is he so desperate for some unknown words?
