Chap. XXXIII.
Iacob seing Eau09Q0078 come with a great troupe of men, feareth harme, but is most
curteously entertained by him. 10. He hardly perswadeth Esau to take
giftes, 13. and to returne home. 17. So Iacob coming by Socoth to Salem,
there byeth a field, pitcheth his tents, and erecteth an Altar.
1 And Iacob lifting vp his eyes, saw Esau coming, and
with him foure hundred men: and he diuided the children
of Lia and of Rachel, and of the two handmaides:
2 and he put both the handmaids & their children foremost:
and Lia, and her children in the second place: and Rachel,
and Ioseph last.
3 And himselfe going foreward adored prostrate
to the grownd seuen times, vntil his brother came
nere.
4 Esau therfore running to mete his brother, embraced
him: and clasping him fast about the necke, and
kissing him wept.
5 And casting vp his eyes, he saw the
wemen and their litle ones, and said: What meane these?
And do they perteyne to thee? He answered: They are the
litle ones which God hath geuen to me thy seruant.
6 And
the handmaides and their children coming nere, bowed
themselues.
7 Lia also with her children came nere: and
when they had adored in like maner, last Ioseph and Rachel
adored.
8 And Esau said: What are the troupes that I did
mete? He answered: That I might find grace before my lord.
9 But he said: I haue plentie, my brother, be thy things to
thy selfe.
10 And Iacob said: Do not so I besech thee, but
if I haue found grace in thin eyes, take a litle present at my
hands: for so haue I seene thy face, as if I should haue seene
notethe countenance of God: be gracious to me,
11 and take
the blessing, which I haue brought thee, and which God
hath geuen me, who geueth al thinges. Scarse at his brothers
great instance, taking it,
12 he said: Let vs march on together;
and I wil accompanie thee in thy iourney.
13 And Iacob
said: My lord thou knowest that I haue with me litle
ones, and sheepe, and kine with young: which if I cause
to ouerlaboure themselues in going, in one day al the flockes
wil die.
14 It may please my lord to goe before his seruant:
and I wil folow softly after him, as I shal see my litle ones
-- --
Iacob.
to be able, vntil I come to my lord in Seir.
15 Esau answered:
I besech thee, that of my people at the leastwise, which
is with me, there may remaine some to accompanie thee in
the way. It is not needful, said he, this only I haue nede of,
that I may finde grace (my lord) in thy sight.
16 Esau therfore
returned that day the same way, that he came into Seir.
17 And Iacob cometh into Socoth: where hauing built a
house, and pitched his tents, he called the name of that
place Socoth, that is, Tabernacles.
18 And he passed into
Salem a citie of the Sichimites, which is in the land of Chanaan,
after he returned from Mesopotamia of Siria: and
he dwelt beside the towne.
19 And he bought that part of
the field, wherin he had pitched his tents, of the children
of Hemor, the father fo Sichem for an hundred lambes.
20 And erecting an altar there, on it he called vpon the
most mightie God of Israel.
