As Yaakov and his family head down to Egypt the , in this week's calls him (which makes sense since his name was already changed). But as calls to him in a dream, he is referred to by his old name, (twice, in fact).
Why the old name? And why twice?

This week's : was considered a master of "Honour thy Father and thy Mother" - so why did he marry Yehudith and Bosmath, the Knaani girls that so embittered his parents? Eisav only took his parents wishes into account after the over the was over, when had already fled to Padan Aram. Only THEN did he marry Mohalath, 's sister.

If Eisav was such a groise mechabed av, why didn't he take his parent's wishes into account from the get go?
