Génesis 33:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 33:10

And Jacob said, nay, I pray thee
Do not say so, as the Targum of Jonathan supplies it, or do not refuse my present: if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my
hand;
signifying, that the acceptance of his present would be a token to him, and give him full satisfaction that he bore a good will to him, and did not retain anger and resentment against him: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of
God;
or of princes, as Onkelos, as the face of some great personage, as he was; or as the face of an angel, very pleasant and lovely; or as the face of God himself, he observing the love and favour of God to him, in working upon the heart of Esau, and causing him to carry it so lovingly to him; wherefore for this reason receive it, because I have had such an agreeable sight of thee: and thou wast pleased with me;
accepted of me, and kindly received me:

Génesis 33:10 In-Context

8 Y dijo Esaú: ¿Qué te propones con toda esta muchedumbre que he encontrado? Y él respondió: Hallar gracia ante los ojos de mi señor.

9 Pero Esaú dijo: Tengo bastante, hermano mío; sea tuyo lo que es tuyo.

10 Mas Jacob respondió: No, te ruego que si ahora he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, tomes el presente de mi mano, porque veo tu rostro como uno ve el rostro de Dios, y favorablemente me has recibido.

11 Acepta, te ruego, el presente que se te ha traído, pues Dios me ha favorecido, y porque yo tengo mucho. Y le insistió, y él lo aceptó.

12 Entonces Esaú dijo: Pongámonos en marcha y vámonos; yo iré delante de ti.
