I loved this. Your comment on Rivkah's reflection on her turbulent pregnancy made me realize that she makes a similar comment toward the end of the Parsha in 27:46, Rivka said to Yitzchak, "I loathe my life because of the Hittite women. If Yaakov takes a wife from one of the Hittite women such as these, from the women of the land, what reason have I for life?"
Is there a linguistic relationship between the Hebrew concept of darshan and the Sanskrit darshan = "viewing, glimpse" that is important in Hinduism? Or are they false friends?
