Genesis 33:12-20

12Then 1Esau saidH559, “Let’s journeyH5265 onH5265 and goH1980, and I will goH1980 aheadH5048 of you.” 13But he saidH559 to him, “My lordH113 knowsH3045 that the childrenH3206 are frailH7390 and that the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 that are nursingH5763 are 2a matterH5921 ofH5921 concernH5921 to me. And if they are drivenH1849 hardH1849 just oneH259 dayH3117, allH3605 the flocksH6629 will dieH4191. 14PleaseH4994 let my lordH113 passH5674 onH5674 aheadH6440 of his servantH5650, and I will proceedH5095 at my leisureH328, at the paceH7272 of the cattleH4399 that are aheadH6440 of me and at the paceH7272 of the childrenH3206, untilH5704H834 I comeH935 to my lordH113 at 3SeirH8165.”

15Then EsauH6215 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 let me leaveH3322 with you someH4480 of the peopleH5971 whoH834 are with me.” But he saidH559, “4WhatH4100 need is there? 5Let me findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.” 16So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 to SeirH8165. 17But JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 to 67SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 for himself a houseH1004 and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for his livestockH4735; thereforeH5921H3651 the placeH4725 is namedH7121H8034 SuccothH5523.

18Now JacobH3290 cameH935 safelyH8003 to the cityH5892 of 8ShechemH7927, whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 from 9Paddan-aramH6307, and campedH2583 beforeH6440 the cityH5892. 1910He boughtH7069 the plotH2513 of landH7704 whereH834H8033 he had pitchedH5186 his tentH168 from the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem’sH7927 fatherH1, for a hundredH3967 11piecesH7192 ofH7192 moneyH7192. 20Then he erectedH5324 thereH8033 an altarH4196 and calledH7121 it 12El-Elohe-IsraelH415.
