Esau and his men arrived. Jacob bowed down but Esau ran to embrace him. Jacob offered gifts which Esau first refused. The two were reconciled then Esau accepted them.
"The receiving of a present at the hands of another has always been regarded as a pledge of goodwill. None will receive a present from the hand of an enemy. The same principle underlies God’s dealings with us. He will receive no offering from His sinful creatures until they are reconciled to Him by faith in the Atonement of His Son. The Lord God will receive nothing from your hands until you have first received from His hands, the Savior."
(A.W. Pink)
