Jacob
Meets Esau |
|
|
 |
|
Genesis 33:1
|
|
Then Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and behold,
Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among
Leah and Rachel and the two maids. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:2
|
|
He put the maids and their children in front,
and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 33:3
|
|
But he himself passed on ahead of them and bowed
down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 33:4
|
|
Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him,
and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 33:5
|
|
He lifted his eyes and saw the women and the
children, and said, "Who are these with you?" So he said, "The children whom God
has graciously given your servant." |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 33:6
|
|
Then the maids came near with their children,
and they bowed down. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 33:7
|
|
Leah likewise came near with her children, and
they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed down.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:8
|
|
And he said, "What do you mean by all this company
which I have met?" And he said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:9
|
|
But Esau said, "I have plenty, my brother; let
what you have be your own." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:10
|
|
Jacob said, "No, please, if now I have found
favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as
one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:11
|
|
"Please take my gift which has been brought
to you, because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have plenty." Thus
he urged him and he took it. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:12
|
|
Then Esau said, "Let us take our journey and
go, and I will go before you." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:13
|
|
But he said to him, "My lord knows that the
children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care
to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:14
|
|
"Please let my lord pass on before his servant,
and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are
before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at
Seir." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:15
|
|
Esau said, "Please 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." |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:16
|
|
So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:17
|
|
Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself
a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jacob
Settles in Shechem |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:18
|
|
Now Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem,
which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and camped before
the city. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 33:19
|
|
He bought the piece of land where he had pitched
his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred
pieces of money. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 33:20
|
|
Then he erected there an altar and called it
El-Elohe-Israel. |
