SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:13
Ā¶ Y durmió allí aquella noche, y tomó de lo que le vino a la mano un presente para su hermano Esaś.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 32:13
Verse 13. And took of that which came to his hand] wdyb abh habba beyado, which came under his hand, i.e., what, in the course of God's providence, came under his power.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-23 - Times of fear should be times of prayer: whatever causes fear, shoul drive us to our knees, to our God. Jacob had lately seen his guards of angels, but in this distress he applied to God, not to them; he kne they were his fellow-servants, Re 22:9. There cannot be a bette pattern for true prayer than this. Here is a thankful acknowledgemen of former undeserved favours; a humble confession of unworthiness; plain statement of his fears and distress; a full reference of the whole affair to the Lord, and resting all his hopes on him. The best we can say to God in prayer, is what he has said to us. Thus he made the name of the Lord his strong tower, and could not but be safe. Jacob' fear did not make him sink into despair, nor did his prayer make his presume upon God's mercy, without the use of means. God answers prayer by teaching us to order our affairs aright. To pacify Esau, Jacob sen him a present. We must not despair of reconciling ourselves to thos most angry against us.
