This page is an EXTRA derasha. It is not part of the main-ring PREV/NEXT chain.
And Hashem said to Yaakov, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
Classical source beyond the TT-numbered main ring: Rashi on Bereishis 31:3, citing Midrash Tanchuma, Vayeitzei 10.
Lemma: שוב אל ארץ אבותיך.
English: Rashi reads the command as a return to the ancestral land where God will be with Yaakov; while he remains attached to Lavan, the Divine Presence does not rest upon him in the same way.
Derash / classical peirush — not a formal named middah of the 13.
The promise of Divine accompaniment is linked by Rashi to Yaakov’s departure from Lavan and return to the land of his fathers.
