Genesis - Chapter: 33


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.
33:2	And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
33:3	And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
33:4	And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
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.
33:6	Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
33:7	And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
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.
33:9	And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
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.
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.
33:12	And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
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.
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.
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.
33:16	So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
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.
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.
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.

33:2	And he put the maides, and their children formost, and Leah, and her children after, and Rahel, and Ioseph hindermost.
33:3	So he went before them and bowed him selfe to the ground seuen times, vntill he came neere to his brother.
33:4	Then Esau ranne to meete him, and embraced him, and fell on his necke, and kissed him, and they wept.
33:5	And he lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and saide, Who are these with thee? And he answered, They are ye childre whome God of his grace hath giuen thy seruant.
33:6	Then came the maides neere, they, and their children, and bowed themselues.
33:7	Leah also with her children came neere and made obeysance: and after Ioseph and Rahel drew neere, and did reuerence.
33:8	Then he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? Who answered, I haue sent it, that I may finde fauour in the sight of my lorde:
33:9	And Esau said, I haue ynough, my brother: keepe that thou hast to thy selfe.
33:10	But Iaakob answered, Nay, I pray thee: if I haue found grace nowe in thy sight, then receiue my present at mine hande: for I haue seene thy face, as though I had seene the face of God, because thou hast accepted me.
33:11	I pray thee take my blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercie on me, and therefore I haue all things: so he compelled him, and he tooke it.
33:12	And he saide, Let vs take our iourney and go, and I will goe before thee.
33:13	Then he answered him, My lord knoweth, that the children are tender, and the ewes and kine with yong vnder mine hande: and if they should ouerdriue them one day, all the flocke would die.
33:14	Let now my lord go before his seruant, and I will driue softly, according to ye pase of ye cattel, which is before me, and as the children be able to endure, vntill I come to my lord vnto Seir.
33:15	Then Esau said, I will leaue then some of my folke with thee. And he answered, what needeth this? let me finde grace in the sight of my lorde.
33:16	So Esau returned, and went his way that same day vnto Seir.
33:17	And Iaakob went forwarde towarde Succoth, and built him an house, and made boothes for his cattell: therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
