Peace and Prosperity

Genesis 36:7
For they were exceeding rich, and could not dwell together: neither was the land in which they sojourned able to bear them, for the multitude of their flocks.

Romans 12:18
If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men.

Jacob faced his greatest fear and was met with peace, by the very man that vowed to kill him, years earlier. The brothers were reconciled, and even when their blessings of prosperity could have become an issue once again, instead, they peaceably put space between themselves. By the way, G-d's definition of prosperity throughout Scripture references flocks and herds and land, not money.
