עלי קללתך בני. פי' לא יקלל אותך כי אם אותי שכן דרך העולם כשהילדים עושין שלא כדת שמקללין אביהן ואמן ואומרים ארור שזה גדל: עלי קללתך בני, “may any curse your father curses you with strike me instead.” What Rivkah meant by these words was that: “your father would not curse you, but me.” It is something generally accepted that when children do not behave in the manner they should, it is their parents that are blamed for not bringing them up properly.
