What does Genesis 33:4 mean?

But Esau ran to meet Jacob, hugged him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. They both started crying. Genesis 33:4 - Modern Text Bible

(Instead of anger, Esau shows deep affection. The brothers are overwhelmed with emotion, and the tension breaks in a moment of forgiveness.)
