Génesis 33:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 33:11

Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee
The present he had sent him, now carrying home to his house, which was a part of what God had blessed Jacob with; and which he from a beneficent generous spirit gave his brother, wishing the blessing of God to go along with it; it was an insinuation, and so he would have it taken, that he wished him all happiness and prosperity; because God hath dealt graciously with me;
in giving him so much substance, and now in giving him so much favour in the sight of Esau, whom he dreaded: and because I have enough;
a sufficiency of all good things, being thoroughly contented with his state and circumstance; or "I have all things" ^F16, all kind of good things, everything that was necessary for him; the expression is stronger than Esau's; and indeed Jacob had besides a large share of temporal mercies, all spiritual ones; God was his covenant God and Father, Christ was his Redeemer, the Spirit his sanctifier; he had all grace bestowed on him, and was an heir of glory: and he urged him, and he took [it]:
being pressing on him, or importunate with him, he accepted of his present.

Génesis 33:11 In-Context

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.

13 Pero él le dijo: Mi señor sabe que los niños son tiernos, y que debo cuidar de las ovejas y las vacas que están criando. Si los apuramos mucho, en un solo día todos los rebaños morirán.
