ט. לֶךְ נָא אֶל הַצֹּאן וְקַח לִי מִשָּׁם שְׁנֵי גְּדָיֵי עִזִּים טֹבִים וְאֶעֱשֶׂה אֹתָם מַטְעַמִּים לְאָבִיךָ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָהֵב
Go now to the flock, and take for me from there two choice kids, and I will make them tasty foods for your father, as he likes
Question:
Why does Rivka say "take for me" as opposed to just telling Yaakov to take the goats?
Answer: וקח לי: משלי הם ואינם גזל, שכך כתב לה יצחק בכתובתה ליטול שני גדיי עזים בכל יום:
Rashi says: Rivka saying "take for me" indicates that she is not stealing from the flock of goats, and it was in her marriage license to be able to take 2 goats every day.
Other Questions:
Why wouldn't Rivka be able to take them? What does this show about the relationship of Rivka and Yiztchak? Does the idea of stealing come up any other time in this parsha?
