According to Moses, who is thought to have written the book, this part of the story shows how someone can share their gifts and blessings with others because they feel thankful for what God has given them. It teaches that being generous and kind is important, especially after being blessed.

Genesis 33:11: 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]. [enough: Heb. all things]

Contradiction with Proverbs 11:24

While Genesis 33:11 describes receiving a gift, Proverbs 11:24 states that sometimes withholding more than is meet leads to prosperity, contradicting the idea of accepting gifts leading to blessing.

Proverbs 11:24: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:42

Jesus instructs to give to those who ask and not turn away from those who wish to borrow, which contrasts with the emphasis on receiving and insisting the gift be taken in Genesis 33:11.

Matthew 5:42: Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Contradiction with Luke 14:12

This verse advises against inviting friends, relatives, and rich neighbors who can reciprocate, contradicting Genesis 33:11 where a gift is exchanged.

Luke 14:12: Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
