41 Rashi here sets out to clarify some difficulties in this narrative: 1) Why does Yaakov refer to Yerushalayim as þ¼¾ by bringing wheat and barley, ,ó−ÌþB¼ÐNe ó−ÌhÌìê−ÌëÖíÐñ
ó−ô¾í? 2) The Sages state that Yaakov slept that night in Yerushalayim, yet in v. 19 Yaakov names the place Beis but only ownerless things ,þÑšÐõÓíÔíþÔëÐcêÖlÓê
Eil, which was formerly Luz? 3) In v. 12 it states í®þê ë®îô óñî½ íòíî and, behold, there is a ladder standing on the

ground which would imply that the location of the ladder was in Beer Sheva, where Yaakov had been last (v. 11).
Yet, later Yaakov calls the place Beis Eil! 42 In Ber. Rab. and in Ramban’s citation of Rashi ¼Ô®ÐôÓêÐî the middle, does not Jasmine flowers. .íéÄàÈãeã

of the ladder was above Yerushalayim, then Yaakov having slept in Luz—which is north of Yerushalayim—would
have found himself outside of the slope of the ladder. There then would be no reason for Yaakov to dub Luz—þ¼¾ which in Arabic is called jasmin. :ö"−ÌôнÔ−ñêѼÖôÐLÌ− öBLÐñÌëe
