‘Yakob’

I recently remembered about the song ‘Yakob’ by R Yomtov Ehrlich. What was that about? I’m not great at understanding innuendo especially not in the way frum people do it. Why did he run away? Was the local girl bride being forced on him somehow?

Source for the claim that pants were only worn in Israel/Judah during the Persian period to date the priestly text.

According to the Priestly writings the garments for the priests included pants. This seems like a useful anachronism too.

I’ve read in multiple places that the domestication of camels in the Levant took place after the stories of Genesis. That’s seems like a very useful anachronism. I’ve tried finding the source online but all that’s coming up is many apologetic websites. Would anyone know where I can find an academic source for that.
