genesis day 4

In chapter 32 and 33 you get a sense of a sibling rivalry. I find it strange that Jacob fears his own brother Essau. he fears that Essau will attack his camps he seperated them into different camps so that way if Essau attack one of them he still has another one left. jacob then wrestles with God which dislocated his hip so now the people of israel can eat the sinew of the hip. who comes up with this stuff I don't really understand some of this stuff. When Essau finally arrived he ended up helping Jacob instead of hurting him. i think this goes to show you that your family will always be there to help you in your time of need. Jacob had nothing to fear and in the end helped everyone make it to Succoth with the help of Essau.
