Genesis 33

Chapter 33

And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.

Genesis 33:2 ESV

In those days, hierarchies were real and everyone knew where they stood.

Jacob meets Esau and they both say friendly words.  Seems to me though that Jacob deceives again as to his real plans.  He does not follow Esau home but goes elsewhere and buys himself some land.

He builds an altar and calls it El-Elohe-Israel, meaning God the God of Israel.
