The next morning as they were travelling, they saw some body coming towards them, a large company of people, and Jacob saw that it was his brother Esau with a lot of soldiers. (Read Gen. 32:9-12.) Jacob was just awfully scared now, for he knew how helpless he was with all the little children to fight against his . *
this long time he was in the new land, so God spoke to Jacob and told him to go back to his home-land. (Gen. chap. 31.) God also told him he would take care of him. Jacob called his family together and told them what God had said to him, and they said for him to do as the Lord had told him. Jacob and his people and servants all lived in tents, so they took down the tents, folded them up, and packed the other things he was going to take with him, and put them on the backs of the strong camels.

Now Jacob tells his folks to stay where they are a little while, and he goes on alone to meet his brother Esau, and when he came near to him, he bowed down before him. Then what do you think happened? Esau ran to meet Jacob, put his arms around him, and kissed him. You know when God told Jacob to go back to his home land, He promised to be with him and keep him from harm, and now we have seen how God kept his promise, and made Esau, that angry brother who wanted to kill him, feel so kindly toward him that when* they met, he ran to him and kissed him.
