Esau said, “I have a lot.”

Jacob said, “I have all.” As in “all I need.”

Esau had a family of six. They were called “six souls.” Plural.

Jacob had a family of seventy. They were called “seventy soul.” Singular.

Esau lived in a granular, tossed-together, fragmented world in which he collected a lot of things and many people. A noisy world.

Jacob lived in a universe, a singular whole, in which all he encountered was only another manifestation of an essential oneness. Wherever he was, he had everything.

And you? Do you have many things? Or do you have much light?

Maamar Hechaltzu 5659, chapter 3.
