I will appease him; Heb. appease or allay his anger; for the Hebrew word panim signifies both anger, as Psalms 21:9, Psalms 34:16, and face, as every where, because a man's anger is most discernible in his face or countenance, Proverbs 21:14. He will accept of me; Heb. will lift up my face or countenance, which now is dejected with the sense of his displeasure; compare Genesis 4:6; or, will accept of my person, as this phrase is oft used.
