When Jacob drew near to Canaan, he sent messengers to Esau to find favor
in his sight. The messengers returned and said: Thy brother is coming to
meet thee, and 400 men with him. Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and he
sent a present from his herds and flocks to Esau, and prayed earnestly
to the Lord. And the Lord appeared unto him as a man that wrestled with
him. But Jacob held out manfully and said: I will not let thee go,
except thou bless me. God blessed him, and called him Israel, that is,
one who strives with God.
When Jacob saw Esau he bowed himself to the ground seven times; but Esau
ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and they both
wept.--Isaac died old (180 years) and full of days, and Esau and Jacob
buried him. (Gen. 32; 33; 35:28-29.)
