בשם הריב"ש נבג"מ. בפסוק ואבוא היום אל העין, ופירש"י ז"ל היום יצאתי והיום באתי מכאן שקפצה לו הארץ, אמר ר"א יפה שיחתן של עבדי אבות מתורתן של בנים וכו', הנה מפסוק זה גופא יוצא שם לקפיצת הארץ, וזהו פירוש היום יצאתי והיום באתי מכאן שקפצה כו', פירוש מכאן גופא מדברים אלה שבזה המאמר, והבן, וזהו פירוש יפה שיחתן של עבדי אבות כי בשיחתן רומזים סודות נפלאים עם ייחודים לקפיצת הארץ, מה שאין ביד בנים אפילו על פי תורתן. (עבודת ישראל פ' חיי).
Now, I came this day to the well... (Ibid. 24:42) “Today I left (Haran) and today I arrived.” From here [we learn that] the way was shortened for him.5Kefitzat Haderech – a miraculous shortening of a journey, in which great distances are covered in a short amount of time. Rabbi Eliezer said, “The common talk of the servants of the Forefathers is better than the Torah of their descendents.”6Eliezer relates the events surrounding his meeting with Rivkah several times in great detail. This is the common talk of the servants of the Forefathers. In other chapters, however, the Torah is so sparse with words that dozens of laws must be derived from the nuances of a single verse, as the Talmud states concerning the laws of the Shabbat, that they are like mountains hanging by hairs; i.e. huge amounts of laws are derived from very few words. (Rashi) This very verse is the source of the Divine Name that causes kefitzas haderech. This is the meaning of: “‘Today I left (Haran) and today I arrived.’ From here, the way was shortened for him.” From here precisely! From these very words that he said! This is the meaning of “The common talk of the servants of the Forefathers is better than the Torah of their descendents.” For their words hint to wondrous mysteries and Unifications to shorten the way, which is not true of their descendents, even by means of the Torah they study.
