It took about 15 minutes to read this passage. Chapter 33 recounts the meeting of Jacob and Esau. Jacob had been gone for at least 14 years, and during that time God had removed Esau's anger against Jacob. When they met it was a joyous reunion. But their conversation in chapter 33 shows two distinct faiths: Jacob spoke often of what God had given him, while Esau spoke only of himself. Both men had received God's blessings but it was only Jacob who acknowledged God's work in what he had accumulated. Jacob spoke of his family and his livestock as gifts of God's grace.
