창세기 32:21-23 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 32:13-23

Jacob, having piously made God his friend by a prayer, is here prudently endeavouring to make Esau his friend by a present. He had prayed to God to deliver him from the hand of Esau, for he feared him; but neither did his fear sink into such a despair as dispirits for the use of means, nor did his prayer make him presume upon God's mercy, without the use of means. Note, When we have prayed to God for any mercy, we must second our prayers with our endeavours; else, instead of trusting god, we... read more

So went the present over before him ,.... Over the brook Jabbok, after mentioned, the night before Jacob did: and himself lodged that night in the company ; or "in the camp" F3 במחנה "in castris", Vatablus, Drusius, Schmidt; "in acie sua", Junius & Tremellius; "in exercitu", Piscator. , either in the place called Mahanaim, from the hosts or crowds of angels seen there; or rather in his own camp, his family and servants; or, as Aben Ezra distinguishes, in the camp with his... read more

And he rose up that night ,.... In the middle of it, for it was long before break of day, as appears from Genesis 32:24 , and took his two wives , Rachel and Leah: and his two womenservants , Bilhah and Zilpah, or, "his two concubines", as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; which distinguishes them from other womenservants or maidservants, of which, no doubt, he had many: and his eleven sons ; together with Dinah his daughter, though not mentioned, being the only female... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 32:22

Verse 22 22.And he rose up that night. After he has prayed to the Lord, and arranged his plans, he now takes confidence and meets the danger. By which example the faithful are taught, that whenever any danger approaches, this order of proceeding is to be observed; first, to resort directly to the Lord; secondly, to apply to immediate use whatever means of help may offer themselves; and thirdly, as persons prepared for any event, to proceed with intrepidity whithersoever the Lord commands. So... read more

Mahanaim, or preparing for Esau. I. THE ANGELIC APPARITION . 1. The time when it occurred . 2. The impression which it made. Whether completely surrounding him, or divided into two companies, one on either side of him, Jacob's angelic visitors, from their number, their orderly array, their military dispositions, assumed the appearance of a heavenly army lying encamped over against His own; and the sight of the two companies immediately suggested the ejaculation, "This is... read more

The crisis at hand. Jacob understood the human heart. I. KINDNESS WILL WORK WONDERS . " I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face." It gave Esau time to think of an altered state of things, a changed brother, and his own brotherly affection, not entirely destroyed. II. IMPORTUNITY IN DOING GOOD . The repeated strokes upon the iron changes its nature. We may learn a lesson from Jacob to prepare human hearts for the... read more

So (literally, and) went the present over Before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. And he rose up that night ,— i . e . some time before daybreak ( vide Genesis 32:24 ) and took his two wives, and him two women servants (Bilhah and Zilpah), and his eleven sons (Dinah being not mentioned in accordance with the common usage of the Bible), and passed over the ford —the word signifies a place of passing over. Tristram speaks of the strong current reaching the... read more
