Genesis 33 - The Noble Esau & the Sketchy Jacob
Jacob has had his name changed to Israel and we see, for the first time, a different kind of Jacob...but he's still Jacob.
The two brothers meet for the first time since Jacob deceived Isaac and Esau does the opposite of getting revenge. He restores Jacob as a brother and allows Jacob to continue his journey. Does Jacob simply take advantage of Esau's radical hospitality and generosity?
This chapter begins the next part of Jacob's narrative and ends the part of the Jacob cycle with his brother Esau.
