CHAP. XXXIII.
1 The kindness of Jacob and Esau at their
meeting. 17 Jacob cometh to Succoth. 18
At Shalem he buyeth a field, and raiseth an
altar called El-elohe-Israel.
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and
looked, and, behold, Esau came,
and with him four hundred men. And
he divided the children to Leah, and to
Rachel, and to 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 on before them, and
bowed himself to the ground seven times,
till 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 note with thee? And he said,
The children which God hath graciously
given to 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, note 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; note keep what thou hast to 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
-- --
Before, CHRIST, 1739.
therefore I have seen thy face, as though
I had seen the face of God, and thou hast
been 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 note 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 to him, My lord knoweth
that the children are tender, and the
flocks and herds with young are with me,
and if men should over-drive 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
slowly, according note as the cattle that go
before me, and the children are able to
endure; until I come to my lord to Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now note leave
with thee some of the people that are with
me: And he said, note What needeth it?
Let me find grace in the sight of my
lord.
16 ¶2; So Esau returned that day on his
way to Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth,
and built him a house, and made booths
for his cattle: therefore the name of the
place is called note Succoth.
18 ¶2; And Jacob came to Shalem, a city
of note Shechem, which is in the land of
Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram;
and pitched his tent before the
city.
19 noteAnd he bought a part of a field,
where he had spread his tent, at the hand
of the children note of Hamor, Shechem's
father, for a hundred note pieces of money.
20 And he erected there an altar, and
called it note El-elohe-Israel.
