Ibn Ezra, on Gen 33:4

“Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.”

“The midrashic interpretation of the dots on top of the word and he kissed him, וישקהו is good for those who have just been weaned, but according to the straightforward interpretation Esav did not plan to do evil to his brother. And the proof is [the word] ויבכו, and they cried, [which is also used in the context of the reunion between] Yosef and his brothers.”
