1 | went to Seir or not | Gen 33:17 | azurelaw | 224778 | ||
Does this verse mean that Jacob did not go to Seir and in V14 he was just cheating Esau for he was still afraid of Esau taking revenge? From what has been portrayed, Jacob seems to be a man of suspicious. Somehow, I would consider that if Jacob did go to Seir and stayed with Esau, the tragedy in Chapter 34 could be avoided. Thanks for your input and Shalom Azure |

2 | went to Seir or not | Gen 33:17 | Searcher56 | 224784 | ||
God's day to you, my sister, Azure, We will never know why Israel/Jacob did not go to Seir, this side of heaven. Most events in the Bible and elsewhere where people had choices. The results/ consequences probably would have been different. God is in control of circumstances and knows the future. Dinah still may have visited in Seir. We don't know if Esau had his people circumised. It wasn't just what happened in chapter 34 ... but it is possible that Joesph being sold and all the other events may not have happened. I am thinking since Israel/Jacob just wrestled with God in the previous chapter, he may of thought it best not to go to Seir. Searcher |

Thanks Searcher, for your input. Yes, for sure God is in control of everything. I, such a fallen human and fallen mind, just could not help to express the "hindsight". Anyway, my point is: Did Jacob go to Seir? I think he did not. But some commentator said he could have gone there but stayed for a short while. Shalom Azure |
