yikrivu yimei aivel avi...vayugad L'Rivkah es divrei...ki mosnachem alav...
Where was the evacuation plan untill now?! Did rivkah need ruach hakodesh to inform her of eisav's plan to realize that stealing the brachos will not promote brotherly love?!
Also rivkah told yakov "misnachem alecha L'hargecha" - as Rashi explains so sure is your death in his eyes that he already drank the cup of consolation over your death! - why was it so sure?
One explanation of Eisav plan for yikrivu yimei eivel avi, is not just that eisav was waiting for his father's death, rather he was anticipating the eivel - mourning of yakov over their father, since then he will not be able to study Torah & he will lack its protection.
The medrash Rabbah however says that here eisav shemed with patience & a settled mind.
The ramban 25.34 says eisav - as all balei ta'avah, was all about the instant , here & now. he was hurried, rushed & very "advanced".
perhaps we can say untill this point, for all his hatred & anger towards ya'akov, there wasn't much to be concerned about because of his hasty quick decisions. But here Ruach HaKodesh informed her of eisav's words - not just of his desire to kill, but the detailed, long term, thought out, plan.
This was the only time there was real concern - because with patience & yishuv hadas the plan is sure to work. That is why rivakah stressed the sureness of his plan with the fact that eisav already drank the kos tanchumin.
we see from here the value of patience....a long lost art in the fast paced advanced world.
Yet this is a character trait that has been classic of our nation, as we have patiently waited for the geulah. Though HASHEM has expectations of us inimproving ourselves, one ma'alah we've always had. - Af al pi sheyismamei'ah, I'm kol zeh achakeh lo....
Let us not lose this trait & subject ourselves to the 'ahead of the game' rush of eisav. We must learn to keep this midah in ourselves & find ways to instill this rare & precious midah in our children.
YACHEL Yisrael el Hashem...ki I'm Hashem hachessed, v'harbeh imo fidus.
