“Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.”
Please accept the present that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me and I have all I need. And because Jacob insisted, Esau accepted it. The argument that prevails is the covenant testimony: God has been gracious to me. Jacob does not press the gift as social obligation but as the overflow of received grace. The application: the gift that flows from received grace rather than social obligation is the gift most worth giving and most likely to be received.
