Chapter 33 of Genesis

Genesis

01:033:001 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.

01:033:002 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah
and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

01:033:003 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

01:033:004 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

01:033:005 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.

01:033:006 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and
they bowed themselves.

01:033:007 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed
themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they
bowed themselves.

01:033:008 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.

01:033:009 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast
unto thyself.

01:033:010 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.

01:033:011 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.

01:033:012 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
will go before thee.

01:033:013 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.

01:033:014 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.

01:033:015 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.

01:033:016 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

01:033:017 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.

01:033:018 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.

01:033:019 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.

01:033:020 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
