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 —Hermano mío —repuso Esaú—, ya tengo más que suficiente. Quédate con lo que te pertenece.

10 —No, por favor —insistió Jacob—; si me he ganado tu confianza, acepta este presente que te ofrezco. Ya que me has recibido tan bien, ¡ver tu rostro es como ver a Dios mismo!

11 Acéptame el regalo que te he traído. Dios ha sido muy bueno conmigo, y tengo más de lo que necesito.Fue tanta la insistencia de Jacob que, finalmente, Esaú aceptó.

12 Más tarde, Esaú le dijo:—Sigamos nuestro viaje; yo te acompañaré.

13 Pero Jacob se disculpó:—Mi hermano y señor debe saber que los niños son todavía muy débiles, y que las ovejas y las vacas acaban de tener cría, y debo cuidarlas. Si les exijo demasiado, en un solo día se me puede morir todo el rebaño.
