Chapter 33
Gene Webster 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 to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Gene Webster 33:2  And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
Gene Webster 33:3  And he passed on before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near to his brother.
Gene Webster 33:4  And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Gene Webster 33:5  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 to thy servant.
Gene Webster 33:6  Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Gene Webster 33:7  And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Gene Webster 33:8  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.
Gene Webster 33:9  And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.
Gene Webster 33:10  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 hast been pleased with me.
Gene Webster 33:11  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].
Gene Webster 33:12  And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
Gene Webster 33:13  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.
Gene Webster 33:14  Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according as the cattle that go before me, and the children are able to endure; until I come to my lord to Seir.
Gene Webster 33:15  And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the people that [are] with me: And he said, What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Gene Webster 33:17  And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Gene Webster 33:18  And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Gene Webster 33:19  And he bought a part of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money.
Gene Webster 33:20  And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
