Genesis 33

33:1And Jacob looking up saw. And behold, Esau his brother was coming, and four hundred men with him. And Jacob divided the servants unto Leah and unto Rachel, and the two maidservants.

33:2And he made the two maidservants and their sons go in first, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.

33:3But he went forth in front of them, and did obeisance on the ground seven times, while approaching to his brother.

33:4And Esau ran up to meet him. And taking hold of him, he kissed him. And he fell upon his neck. And he kissed him, and they both wept.

33:5And Esau looking up, he saw the women and the children. And he said, What are these to you? And he said, The children which God showed mercy on your servant.

33:6And the maidservants and their children drew near, and did obeisance.

33:7And Leah drew near and her children, and they did obeisance. And after this Rachel and Joseph drew near, and they did obeisance.

33:8And he said, What are these to you, all these camps which I have met? And he said, that your servant should find favor before you, O master.

33:9And Esau said, There is to me much, O brother, let your things be yours!

33:10And Jacob said, If I found favor before you, take the gifts by my hands! Because of this I saw your face, as if one may have seen the face of God, and you shall think well of me.

33:11Take the things of my blessing, which I brought to you! for God showed mercy on me, and there is to me all things. And he forced him, and he took.

33:12And he said, Departing we will go straight.

33:13And he said to him, My master knows that the children are tender, and the sheep and the oxen are giving birth to me. If then I should drive them one more day all the cattle will die.

33:14Let my master go forth in front of his servant! and I shall gain strength in the way according to the ease of the trek before me, and according to the foot of the youngsters, until my coming to my master in Seir.

33:15And Esau said, I will leave behind with you some of the people of the ones with me. And he said, Why this? It is enough that I found favor before you, O lord.

33:16And Esau returned in that day unto his journey to Seir.

33:17And Jacob departed to Tents. And he made himself there a residence, and he made tented shelters for his cattle. On account of this they call the name of that place, Tents.

33:18And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he returned back from Mesopotamia Syria. And he camped before the face of the city.

33:19And he acquired the portion of the field which sat there by his tent, from Hamor father of Shechem, for a hundred lambs.

33:20And he set up there an altar, and called upon the God of Israel.
