1 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. 2 And he put the hand­maids and their chil­dren fore­most, and Leah and her chil­dren af­ter, and Rachel and Joseph hin­der­most. 3 And he passed over be­fore them, and bowed him­self to the ground sev­en times, un­til 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 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 that thou hast unto 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 wast 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 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. 14 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. 15 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. 16 So Esau re­turned that day on his way unto Seir. 17 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. 18 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. 19 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. 20 And he erect­ed there an al­tar, and called it Elelo­he-Is­rael.
