Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 33:1-16

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 33:3. Bowed himself to the ground seven times.] “He bowed himself after the Eastern fashion, bending the body so that the face nearly touches the ground. The text gives us to understand that these obeisances were not made on the same spot, but one after another as he approached Esau.” (Alford.)—Genesis 33:5. Who are those with thee?] Heb. Who these to thee?—pertaining to thee.—Genesis 33:11. My blessing.] Meaning my gratuity. In Scripture a gift is often called a... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 33:1-20

Genesis 33:3. Bowed himself to the ground. He then rose and walked a little farther, and bowed again; so he did seven times until he approached his brother. Homage of this kind was first paid to the great patriarchs; and very extravagant homage is still paid to great men in all the oriental nations. Poor Jacob was now an Assyrian ready to perish, but God was his defence. Deuteronomy 26:5. Genesis 33:4. Fell on his neck and kissed him. We have here the answer of Jacob’s prayers and... read more

Genesis 33:1-16And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced himThe reconciliation of Jacob and EsauI.IT ILLUSTRATES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS OF THE TWO BROTHERS. 1. Esau was generous and forgiving. 2. In Jacob there are traces of his old subtlety. II. IT ILLUSTRATES THE POWER OF HUMAN FORGIVENESS. III. IT ILLUSTRATES THE TYRANNY OF OLD SINS. All was forgiven, but there was no longer any confidence. So the effects of past sin remain. IV. IT ILLUSTRATES THE POWER OF GODLINESS. Jacob’s... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 33:3

3. Before them He goes on first to meet whatever evil may be feared . Bowed… to the ground Not as in Genesis 19:1, “with the face to the ground,” which denotes complete prostration, but groundward, so that though the face does not touch the ground, it is brought low towards it .

And doubtless the lowly obeisance and the lameness of Jacob drove from the generous hearted Esau... read more
