Rashi on Bereishis 27:19 (classical source on this passuk; not listed as a numbered Torah Temimah unit here).

Lemma / focus: אנכי עשו בכורך.

Sefaria

Core Text of Chazal

Core Text
אָנֹכִי הַמֵּבִיא לְךָ וְעֵשָׂו הוּא בְּכוֹרֶךָ.

English: I am the one who brings to you, and Esav is your firstborn.

On the daf / in context: Yaakov’s words are parsed so that “I” and “Esav your firstborn” are not a single false claim but a divided sentence.

Type of Learning

Derash on the verse (Rashi) — not a formal named middah of the 13.

What Is Learned

Yaakov said, “I am [the one bringing to you], and Esav is your firstborn”—splitting the phrase rather than a flat false identification.
