CHAPTER 38

Genesis 27:41 So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

ESAU HATED A MAN I BLESSED.

CURSED IS ANY MAN WHO HATES WHAT I HAVE BLESSED. I AM THE LORD.

THE LORD had brought me to Mahanaim at the cry of Jacob’s prayer.

Genesis 32: 11 Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children. 12 For You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’”

YET ESAU GAVE TIME FOR HIS SIN TO NOT RULE OVER HIM.  ESAU WOULD NOT BEAR THE SIN AND PUNISHMENT OF CAIN.

Now THE LORD brought me to their reunion which Jacob feared.

Genesis 33: 4 But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5 And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?”

So he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6 Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down. 7 And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.
8 Then Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?”
And he said, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9 But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
