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.
