‘Jacob meets Esau and journeys on to Shechem’ (Genesis 33:1-20)
Manage episode 434826697 series 1063254
The text of Genesis 33:1-20 gives the conclusion to the long anticipated meeting of Jacob and his twin, Esau. All that Jacob had been through now led up to this most significant moment when he would have to face up to his brother. But while the reader might have expected to be fireworks and anger, the situation has been diffused. Jacob is different and so is Esau. God has been good! But Jacob’s half-hearted response to God leaves the door open for compromise and temptation to make their way in his family.
