And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
Y también díganle: 'Mira, tu siervo Jacob viene detrás de nosotros.' Porque Jacob se dijo a sí mismo: 'Calmaré su enojo con el regalo que va delante de mí, y después me encontraré con él cara a cara. Tal vez entonces me perdone.'
Jacob esperaba apaciguar la ira de su hermano Esaú enviándole regalos antes de encontrarse con él personalmente.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Jacob is returning to his homeland of Canaan after years in exile with his uncle Laban, fearing that his brother Esau might still hold a grudge for the time Jacob deceived him to obtain the birthright and blessing. As Jacob prepares for their reunion, he sends messengers and gifts ahead to Esau as a gesture of submission and appeasement, reflecting the ancient Near Eastern custom of using presents to soften hostility and seek reconciliation. This act highlights Jacob's growing awareness of his past wrongs and his dependence on God during vulnerable moments.
