“And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;”
He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift for his brother Esau. The night between the prayer and the action is the night of strategic planning. Jacob prays and then plans — both in the same night. The application: prayer and practical planning belong together. Jacob prays for divine protection and then does what he can to facilitate reconciliation.
