We read in the former chapter how Jacob had power with God, and prevailed; here we find what power he had with men too. Here is,

I. A friendly meeting between Jacob and Esau, ver. 1-4.

II. Their conference at their meeting. Their discourse is, (1.) About Jacob's family, ver. 5-7. (2.) About the present he had sent, ver. 8-11. (3.) About the progress of their journey, ver. 12-15.

III. Jacob's settlement in Canaan, his house-ground, and altar, ver. 16-20.
