For your reference, search the scriptures in Genesis chapters 25-36.
After years apart, Esau and Jacob came back together with their family multiplied and their wealth increased (Genesis 33:9,11; Genesis 35:22-29; Genesis 36). Esau came to be called Edom before they parted ways (Genesis 25:30; 36:1). Jacob came to be called Israel (Genesis 35:10).
At one time, Esau had hatred in his heart for Jacob because he had taken away his blessing from Isaac (Genesis 27:41). The brothers came back together with Jacob seeking Esau's grace with gifts (Genesis 33:10). Esau took the gifts after Jacob urged him (Genesis 33:11).
Years earlier, on his way to Padanaram, Jacob vowed a vow in a place he called Beth-el and said, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, [s]o that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God..." (Genesis 28:20-21)[.]
God was with Jacob the entire time. Jacob was provided food and clothing and he returned to his father's house in peace:
"And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned" (Genesis 35:27).
"And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years" (Genesis 35:28).
"And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him" (Genesis 35:29).
