Genesis Chapter 33The Webster Bible2: 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 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, 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; 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 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 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 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 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. 16: 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 Succoth. 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. 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. 20: And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
