This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on 12 Tammuz, 5733 (1973). Balaam's declaration 'Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number the seed of Israel?' is explored, noting that Abraham was blessed to be like the stars, Isaac like sand, and specifically Jacob like the dust of the earth. The discourse explains the difference between the names Jacob and Israel, with Jacob relating to the heel and Israel to the head, and reveals the deep spiritual significance of Jacob's 'dust'.
