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