Restorative justice has been shown to be a useful and valuable resource for advancing reconciliation and reestablishing the social and personal bonds that violence has broken. Although this concept is foreign to Scripture, this article proposes how the biblical story of the encounter between Esau and Jacob concentrates in a germinal way elements of this peculiar way of redressing injustices and how it can be useful when accompanying restorative processes from a believing perspective. For this purpose, before dealing with the biblical story, the essential keys of restorative justice are presented, and it is shown how this finds a certain echo in the biblical perception of justice.
