Jacob and Esau Meet
1Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
2And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?”
So he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down.
7And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.
8Then Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?”
And he said, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
10And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have 33:11 Lit. allenough.” So he urged him, and he took it.
12Then Esau said, “Let us take our journey; let us go, and I will go before you.”
13But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.
14Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, 33:14 can standare able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir.”
15And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.”
But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made 33:17 sheltersbooths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called 33:17 Lit. BoothsSuccoth.
Jacob Comes to Canaan
18Then Jacob came 33:18 Or to Shalem, a city ofsafely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city.
19And he bought the parcel of 33:19 Lit. the fieldland, where he had pitched his tent, from the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
20Then he erected an altar there and called it El33:20 Lit. God, the God of Israel Elohe Israel.
