Chasidut for Chullin 182:27
אלמלא מקרא כתוב אי אפשר לאמרו כאדם שמניף על בנו
[God is made to appear] like a man who is fanning his son.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To protect him from the heat of the sun; so God stood over Jacob to protect him from the envy of the angels.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Keter Shem Tov
From the BeSh"T. "There are three graces: the grace of a place on (in the eyes of) its inhabitants"... (Sotah 47a). This is explained in Chullin 91b, that [when Jacob slept] God "folded up all of the Land of Israel under him"; "the land which you lie upon, I will give it to you" (Genesis 28:13). Meaning, that you will not need to travel from place to place in order to clarify the land's sparks of holiness, for you will be able to clarify them in your place. "And Noah found grace..." (Genesis 6:8)
