PROMISE OF SERENITY ‫ כח וַ ּיִׁשְּכ ֹן יִׂשְרָ אֵל ּבֶ טַח ּבָדָ ד עֵין יַעֲק ֹב‬,‫דברים פרק לג‬ And Yisrael can dwell in safety, alone, the appearance of Yaacov Makkos 24a: Moshe stated a blessing "v'Yishkon Yisrael Betach Badad Ein Yakov", only applies to those who are like Yaacov; but Amos the Prophet came and adjusted what Moshe said (7,5) "Chadal Na Mi Yakum Yakov Ki Katan Hu”, only a few can be like Yaacov, but all can be eligible for serenity. Note: Famous book on the Aggadic selections of the Talmud is called Ain Yaacov ‫( עין יעקב‬like Yaacov) Example of the righteousness of Yaacov mentioned in the same Gemara: Yaacov illustrates "Lo Ragal Al Leshono" - he was reluctant to deceive Yitzchak (to get the blessings) ‫אולי‬ ‫ יב‬,‫)ימושני (בראשית כז‬. Further, Yaacov also requested the same for the Children of Israel that their good deeds should be recognized, and should not have to rely solely on the mercy of HaShem like a rich person who gives to a poor person. If Yitzchak were to find out that it was Yaacov who came for the blessing of the first born, then Yaacov would need to explain about the bad deeds of Esav that resulted in the sale of the birthright. Later when Amos saw how much the Jews failed to obtain merits since they were small in their good deeds, he requested that HaShem fulfill the promise to the Jews from His mercy (and HaShem agreed). Ain Yaacov: Moshe advised the Jews that in order to obtain serenity that needed to dwell apart and not in close groups, in order to avoid conflict and arguments that would sabotage their serenity. Rivan: Yaacov did not wish to present a falsehood to Yitzchak but Rivkah told him to do so based on a prophecy ‫ יג‬,‫( )עלי קללתך (בראשית בז‬per the Targum). Rivan: Moshe used the words “Ain Yaacov” to indicate that only the select of the Jews (Tzadikim who are unique like Yaacov) would receive this blessing to be secure. Lubavitcher Rebbe: By decreeing that the Jews would have to be righteous as Yaacov, Moshe was helping the Jews to be righteous with the force of a Torah decree. Whereas, when the Jews do not do the Will of HaShem, then they are called “Yaacov” a designation of lower status and they will dwell alone and unsecure.
