“Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.”
He offered a sacrifice there in the hill country and invited his relatives to a meal. After they had eaten, they spent the night there. The sacrifice and the meal are the covenant's religious completion — offering to God first, sharing with people second. The application: the covenant meal that follows a sacrifice honors the right order: what is given to God before what is shared among people.
