Initial Thoughts
1. Jacob crisis of Faith
2. Jacob's name is Israel
3. Esau's reception of Jacob
Detailed Thoughts
1. I think we see here how even the most connected men of the old testament still had doubts and strayed at times. It is comforting to see how God blessed them even during those times of being apart.
2. Reminds me of song by Apologetix. Anyway interesting to see how some of the names we know from modern times progressed. Israel was not just the name of the Land but the name of it's ruler and virtual patriarch.
3.The bonds of family run deep. Even after all the deceit from Jacob, Esau welcomed his brother back with open arms. It was nice to see Jacob take responsibility as well.
