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 qué eran todos esos rebaños y esas manadas que encontré en el camino? —preguntó Esaú.
—Son un regalo, mi señor, para asegurar tu amistad —contestó Jacob.

9 —Hermano mío, yo tengo más que suficiente —dijo Esaú—. Guarda para ti lo que tienes.

10 —No —insistió Jacob—, si he logrado tu favor, te ruego que aceptes este regalo de mi parte. ¡Y qué alivio es ver tu amigable sonrisa! ¡Es como ver el rostro de Dios!

11 Por favor, acepta este regalo que te traje, porque Dios ha sido muy generoso conmigo. Yo tengo más que suficiente.
Debido a la insistencia de Jacob, Esaú finalmente aceptó el regalo.

12 —Bien —dijo Esaú—, vamos. Yo iré delante de ti.
