After reading chapter 33:
*Now Esau came along with his 400 men. Jacob put his wives in order from least to greatest, keeping Rachel and Joseph, his favorites, in the back. He then bowed seven times to Esau, but Esau ran up and gave him a brotherly greeting. They exchanged family news. Esau made a show of giving the gifts of animals back to Jacob, but they were kept in the end. Esau volunteered to travel with them, but Jacob made excuses because of the slowness of children and young animals. Esau then volunteered to leave some of his men with Jacob, which Jacob questioned as unnecessary. Didn't Esau trust him? So, Esau traveled on to Seir and Jacob went to Succoth instead. Then, with no explanation, he was suddenly camped outside Shechem. There he set up an altar to God.
