Word of the Day - 3/5/2009

Rapprochement

A rapprochement is an establishment or reestablishment of harmonious relations.

After years of separation, Jacob and Esau finally reached a rapprochement. (Genesis 33).

Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. (Genesis 33:4, NASB)

Note: This image of Jacob and Esau was created by contemporary American aritist Phillip Ratner.
