An Application
Jacob and Esau were around 75 years old in GE 33:4. Jacob had left his parents household at the age of 60. It's been a long time since they saw each other. No email, no social media photo updates. Esau seems to have long since forgiven Jacob of the trickery and was glad to have his brother back. Jesus will give a parable like this in LK 15:24. God longs to forgive us if we will only turn to Him, no matter how long it has been or how far we have gone, He will take us back if we choose.
Connect the Dots
Thinking about GE 33:16-17, it might seem at first like Jacob was again tricking Esau, but probably not, considering GE 36:6-9. Their ancestor Abraham and his nephew Lot had parted for similar reasons in GE 13:8-9. Later God will remind the Israelites about their relatives the Edomites in DT 23:7. / Compare GE 33:18 & 12:6, Abraham may have been familiar with this place.
