The Sun Rises for Jacob
In verse 31, Vayyisra Klaashemich, and the sun rose for him. This is the closing of the parenthesis that is opened by the sun's setting for him. Joseph on his way to Laban's house, at the start of what is going to be 14 years of servitude. And then finally departing on his own as an independent man with wealth and with a family. So that's very much of an ancient Jewish wisdom insight to see that they are very often parenthesis.
