Bible Question:
How could Esau forgive Jacob? |
Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome to the forum! The bible does not say specifically but it does tell us that when Jacob looked into Esau's face he said " I've seen your face as if I were seeing the face of God, and yet you welcomed me so warmly. That indeed shows us that Esau forgave Jacob. There could of been a couple reasons. It could of been because of Jacob's prayers or it could of been because of God changing the hearts of the brothers. prayon |
