I Have Become Two Camps

Yaakov prays and recalls God’s promise, saying "God’s hessed is so great because I crossed the Jordan with my staff and have now become two camps". But this statement is odd- isn’t the reason that Yaakov became two camps is because Yaakov feared Esav? Perhaps now, after splitting his camps out of fear, he is able to realize how much he had and how great God’s hessed had been. However, this answer should be understood at a deeper level.  By looking at Yaakov's mission, journey, and time with Lavan, we can better appreciate his appreciation of God's hessed: when Yaakov returns to the Land of Israel, he not only has fulfilled his father's mission, but also begins to become a "community of nations."
