And the Gemara read these same three verses to teach that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were three of six people over whom the Angel of Death had no sway in their demise—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

For in , Jacob told Esau, "Until I come to my lord to Seir," while records, "And Jacob journeyed to Succot."
