Sermon: Delivered on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th, 1863, by Dr. David Einhorn, Rabbi of the Congregation Keneseth Israel, Philadelphia
Excerpt from Sermon
And the Messengers returned to Jacob saying, we came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee and four hundred men with him. Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that was with him and the flocks and herds and the camels into two bands. And said, if Esau come to the one company and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape. And Jacob said, oh God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, return unto thy country and to thy kindred and I will deal well with thee. I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which thou hast spared to thy servant, for with my staff I passed over the Jordan and now I am become two bands. Deliver me I pray thee from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me and the mother with the child ren. And thou saidst I will surely do thee good and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. (gen. Xxxii, 6.
