Genesis 33 · Grade 2
A Happy Hug
Read the Story
Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with 400 men. Jacob went in front of his family. He bowed down to the ground seven times.
But Esau ran to meet Jacob. He hugged him and kissed him, and they both cried. Esau was not angry anymore! God had changed Esau's heart.
Jacob gave Esau a present of many animals. Esau said, I have enough, my brother. But Jacob asked him to take it, and he did. Then the brothers went their own ways in peace. Jacob built an altar to God.
