English: Our Rabbis taught: Esav came with a pretext, as it is said “Have you but one blessing, Father?”
On the daf / in context: Esav’s claim that there is only one blessing is treated as a polemical challenge that admits of no easy reply; the language is read as a calculated complaint rather than a simple request.
