창세기 33:12-15 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 33:5-15

We have here the discourse between the two brothers at their meeting, which is very free and friendly, without the least intimation of the old quarrel. It was the best way to say nothing of it. They converse, I. About Jacob's retinue, Gen. 33:5-7. Eleven or twelve little ones, the eldest of them not fourteen years old, followed Jacob closely: Who are these? says Esau. Jacob had sent him an account of the increase of his estate (Gen. 32:5), but made no mention of his children; perhaps because... read more

And he said, let us take our journey, and let us go ,.... To Seir, where Esau lived, and whither he invited Jacob to stop a while, and refresh himself and his family: and I will go before thee ; to show him the way to his palace, and to protect him on the road from all dangers; or "besides thee" F17 לנגדך "e regione tui", Montanus, Fagius, Drusius; "a latere tuo", Vatablus; "juxta te", Cartwright. , alongside of him, keeping equal pace with him, thereby showing great honour and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 33:13

And he said unto him, my lord knoweth the children are tender ,.... The eldest being but thirteen years of age, and the youngest about six; and Esau might easily perceive by their stature that they were young and tender, and not able to bear either riding or walking very fast: and the flocks and herds with young are with me ; or "upon me" F18 עלי "super me", Montanus, Vatablus, "incumbere mihi", Junius & Tremellius, so Aben Ezra. ; the charge of them was upon him, it was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 33:14

Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant ,.... He desired in a very respectable manner that he would not keep his pace in complaisance to him, but proceed on in his journey, and go on with his men, and he with his family and flocks would follow after as fast as he could, and their circumstances would admit of: and I will lead on softly ; slowly, gently, easily, step by step: according as the cattle that goeth before me, and the children be able to endure ; or "according... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 33:15

And Esau said, let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me ,.... To show him the way, and guard him on the road, and he appear the more honourable when he entered into Seir: and he said, what needeth it ? Jacob saw not the necessity of it; he knew the direct way very probably; he thought himself in no danger, since he was at peace with Esau, and he did not affect the grandeur of an equipage: let me find grace in the sight of my lord ; having his favour and good... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 33:14

Until I come unto my lord unto Seir - It is very likely that Jacob was perfectly sincere in his expressed purpose of visiting Esau at Seir, but it is as likely that circumstances afterwards occurred that rendered it either improper or impracticable; and we find that Esau afterwards removed to Canaan, and he and Jacob dwelt there together for several years. See Genesis 36:6 . read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 33:12

Verse 12 12.Let us take our journey. Although Esau was inclined to benevolence, Jacob still distrusts him: not that he fears to be ensnared, or that he suspects perfidy to lie hidden under the garb of friendship; but that he cautiously avoids new occasions of offense: for a proud and ferocious man might easily be exasperated again by light causes. Now, though just reason for fear was not wanting to the holy man, yet I dare not deny that his anxiety was excessive. He suspected the liberality of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 33:13

Verse 13 13.My lord knoweth. The things which Jacob alleges, as grounds of excuse, are true; nevertheless he introduces them under false pretexts; except, perhaps, as regards the statement, that he was unwilling to be burdensome and troublesome to his brother. But since he afterwards turns his journey in another direction, it appears that he feigned something foreign to what was really in his mind. He says that he brings with him many encumbrances, and therefore requests his brother to precede... read more

Jacob and Esau, or the brothers reconciled. I. THE MEETING OF THE BROTHERS . 1. The approach of Esau . 2. The advance of Jacob . 3. The reconciliation of both . The conflict of emotions in the breast of Esau was brought to a decision by the sight of Jacob, which at once cast the balance on the side of fraternal affection. Old memories of boyhood and home revived in the bosom of the stalwart hunter as he looked on his twin-brother, and, under the impulse of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 33:1-20

The fruits of prayer. The " prince " who has been lifted by the grace of God out of the humiliation of his fear and shame to the height of his favor at the throne of the Most High now reveals his princely power. He takes captive Esau's heart; he blesses him in the name of God, he bestows his gifts upon him. Notice the fruits of Divine discipline in the patriarch . I. THE THEOCRATIC FEELING IS ALIVE IN JACOB 'S HEART . He puts the handmaids first, Leah next, Rachel... read more
