·        Jacob lived among his mother's people for  many, many years.
·        He had a large family. Jacob had herds of sheep goats cattle donkeys and camels.
·        One day, God came to Jacob again and told him to return to the land of his father  Isaac.
·        Rebekah was mother of Jacob she had died. Jacob hadn't seen Isaac his father in twenty years.
·        Jacob wanted to go back to old home. However, Jacob was afraid to meet his older brother Esau.
·        Jacob had an idea. He called his servants and asked  them take some animals to as a gift.
·        There were two hundred twenty sheep and two hundred twenty goats, there were thirty mother camels and their young there were fifty cattle and thirty donkeys. Then Jacob went to meet Esau.
·        Gift is Animals were used as money and often given as gift because they were so important without animals families had no way to feed themselves.
·        When Esau saw his younger brother Jacob he ran to him and put his arms around him.
·        The brothers wept tears of joy. Each had gone his own way just as God had meant them to now God had brought them together again.
