Why did the sun set early as Yaakov left his parents' home and headed into exile? Why did Yaakov have to leave Israel in order to find his wives and start his family, whereas his father Yitzchak stayed and his wife was brought to him? What is the significance of the sun setting early as Yaakov is chased by Esav? Why is Yaakov called 'the Sun?' Why are the two hours of the sun's early setting 'returned' to Yaakov when he comes back to Israel? How do these occurrences parallel the exile and redemption of the Jewish People? Why is Yaakov called the 'day' while Esav is called the 'night?'
