Genesis 33 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.
2 And he put the maids with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
3 He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5 And when Esau raised his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, "Who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6 Then the maids drew near, they and their children, and bowed down;
7 Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down; and last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.
8 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob answered, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
9 But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."
10 Jacob said, "No, I pray you, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand; for truly to see your face is like seeing the face of God, with such favor have you received me.
11 Accept, I pray you, my gift that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." Thus he urged him, and he took it.
12 Then Esau said, "Let us journey on our way, and I will go before you."
13 But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and that the flocks and herds giving suck are a care to me; and if they are overdriven for one day, all the flocks will die.
14 Let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle which are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir."
15 So Esau said, "Let me leave with you some of the men who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 But Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and made booths for his cattle; therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddanaram; and he camped before the city.
19 And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money the piece of land on which he had pitched his tent.
20 There he erected an altar and called it Elelohe-israel.
1 And Jacob H3290 lifted up H5375 his eyes, H5869 and looked, H7200 and, behold, H2009 Esau H6215 came, H935 and with H5973 him four H702 hundred H3967 men. H376 And he divided H2673 H853 the children H3206 unto H5921 Leah, H3812 and unto H5921 Rachel, H7354 and unto H5921 the two H8147 handmaids. H8198
2 And he put H7760 H853 the handmaids H8198 and their children H3206 foremost, H7223 and Leah H3812 and her children H3206 after, H314 and Rachel H7354 and Joseph H3130 hindmost. H314
3 And he H1931 passed over H5674 before H6440 them , and bowed himself H7812 to the ground H776 seven H7651 times, H6471 until H5704 he came near H5066 to H5704 his brother. H251
4 And Esau H6215 ran H7323 to meet H7125 him , and embraced H2263 him , and fell H5307 on H5921 his neck, H6677 and kissed H5401 him : and they wept. H1058
5 And he lifted up H5375 H853 his eyes, H5869 and saw H7200 H853 the women H802 and the children; H3206 and said, H559 Who H4310 are those H428 with thee? And he said, H559 The children H3206 which H834 God H430 hath graciously given H2603 H853 thy servant. H5650
6 Then the handmaidens H8198 came near, H5066 they H2007 and their children, H3206 and they bowed themselves. H7812
7 And Leah H3812 also H1571 with her children H3206 came near, H5066 and bowed themselves: H7812 and after H310 came Joseph near H5066 H3130 and Rachel, H7354 and they bowed themselves. H7812
8 And he said, H559 What H4310 meanest thou by all H3605 this H2088 drove H4264 which H834 I met H6298 ? And he said, H559 These are to find H4672 grace H2580 in the sight H5869 of my lord. H113
9 And Esau H6215 said, H559 I have H3426 enough, H7227 my brother; H251 keep H1961 that H834 thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob H3290 said, H559 Nay, H408 I pray thee, H4994 if H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight, H5869 then receive H3947 my present H4503 at my hand H4480 H3027 : for H3588 therefore H5921 H3651 I have seen H7200 thy face, H6440 as though I had seen H7200 the face H6440 of God, H430 and thou wast pleased H7521 with me.
11 Take H3947 , I pray thee, H4994 H853 my blessing H1293 that H834 is brought H935 to thee; because H3588 God H430 hath dealt graciously H2603 with me , and because H3588 I have H3426 enough. H3605 And he urged H6484 him , and he took H3947 it .
12 And he said, H559 Let us take our journey, H5265 and let us go, H1980 and I will go H1980 before H5048 thee.
13 And he said H559 unto H413 him , My lord H113 knoweth H3045 that H3588 the children H3206 are tender, H7390 and the flocks H6629 and herds H1241 with young H5763 are with H5921 me : and if men should overdrive H1849 them one H259 day, H3117 all H3605 the flock H6629 will die. H4191
14 Let my lord, H113 I pray thee, H4994 pass over H5674 before H6440 his servant: H5650 and I H589 will lead on H5095 softly, H328 according as H7272 the cattle H4399 that H834 goeth before H6440 me and the children H3206 be able to endure, H7272 until H5704 H834 I come H935 unto H413 my lord H113 unto Seir. H8165
15 And Esau H6215 said, H559 Let me now H4994 leave H3322 with H5973 thee some of H4480 the folk H5971 that H834 are with H854 me . And he said, H559 What H4100 needeth it H2088 ? let me find H4672 grace H2580 in the sight H5869 of my lord. H113
16 So Esau H6215 returned H7725 that H1931 day H3117 on his way H1870 unto Seir. H8165
17 And Jacob H3290 journeyed H5265 to Succoth, H5523 and built H1129 him a house, H1004 and made H6213 booths H5521 for his cattle: H4735 therefore H5921 H3651 the name H8034 of the place H4725 is called H7121 Succoth. H5523
18 And Jacob H3290 came H935 to Shalem, H8003 a city H5892 of Shechem, H7927 which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 when he came H935 from Padan H4480 H6307 -aram ; and pitched his tent H2583 H853 before H6440 the city. H5892
19 And he bought H7069 H853 a parcel H2513 of a field, H7704 where H834 H8033 he had spread H5186 his tent, H168 at the hand H4480 H3027 of the children H1121 of Hamor, H2544 Shechem's H7928 father, H1 for a hundred H3967 pieces of money. H7192
20 And he erected H5324 there H8033 an altar, H4196 and called H7121 it El- H415 elohe-Israel.
