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.

And he put
the handmaids
and their children
foremost,
and Leah
and her children
after,
and Rachel
and Joseph
hindermost.
And he passed over
before them,
and bowed himself
to the ground
seven
times,
until he came near
to his brother.
And Esau
ran
to meet him,
and embraced
him, and fell
on his neck,
and kissed him:
and they wept.

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.
Then the handmaidens
came near,
they and their children,
and they bowed themselves.
And Leah
also with her children
came near,
and bowed themselves:
and after
came
Joseph
near
and Rachel,
and they bowed
themselves.
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.
And Esau
said,
I have
enough,
my brother;
keep that thou hast unto thyself.
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.

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

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.

And Esau
said,
Let me now leave
with thee some of the folk
that are with me. And he said,
What

So Esau
returned
that day
on his way
unto Seir.
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.
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.

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.
And he erected
there an altar,
and called it
Elelohe-Israel.
