GE-33:1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold,
Esau
came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children
unto
Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
GE-33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost,
and
Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
GE-33:3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
GE-33:4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on
his
neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
GE-33:5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the
children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The
children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
GE-33:6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children,
and
they bowed themselves.
GE-33:7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed
themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed
themselves.
GE-33:8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove
which I
met? And he said, [These are] to find grace in the sight of my
lord.
GE-33:9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that
thou hast
unto thyself.
GE-33:10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found
grace
in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore
I have
seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou
wast
pleased with me.
GE-33:11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee;
because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have
enough.
And he urged him, and he took [it].
GE-33:12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go,
and I
will go before thee.
GE-33:13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children
[are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me:
and
if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
GE-33:14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant:
and
I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before
me
and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord
unto
Seir.
GE-33:15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of
the folk
that [are] with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find
grace in
the sight of my lord.
GE-33:16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
GE-33:17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house,
and
made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is
called
Succoth.
GE-33:18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which
[is] in
the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his
tent
before the city.
GE-33:19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread
his
tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father,
for an
hundred pieces of money.
GE-33:20 And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-
Israel.
