P. Toldot - Alay Kil'latcha B'nee

As per p'shat Rivkah took the onus of any punishment due Yaakov upon herself ...

Al pee Remez ALAY may be understood as Roshei Teivot for:
Ayin - Eisav
Lamed - Lavan
Yud - Yosef

The three main "crises" of Yaakov's career. Yaakov's "curse" would consist of difficulties associated with these three individuals.

I wish to acknowledge my source, the late R Yehudah Hilewitz Z"L, a fellow RIETS musmach who passed away at a relatively young age. May his memory serve as a Blessing for his Family and for all Israel.

Shalom and Best Regards,
RRW
