Genesis 33

Revised Version 1895

1And JacobH3290 liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, EsauH6215 cameH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaids. 2And he putH7760 the handmaids and their childrenH3206 foremostH7223, and LeahH3812 and herH7760 childrenH3206 after, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindermost. 3And he himselfH1931 passedH5674 over beforeH6440 them, and bowedH7812 himselfH1931 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, untilH5704 he cameH5066 nearH5066 to his brotherH251. 4And EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meetH7125 him, and embracedH2263 him, and fellH5307 on his neckH6677, and kissedH5401 him: and they weptH1058. 5And he liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559, Who are theseH428 with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 whichH834 GodH430 hath graciouslyH2603 givenH5650 thy servantH5650. 6Then the handmaids cameH5066 nearH5066, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowedH7812 themselvesH7812. 7And LeahH3812 also and herH1571 childrenH3206 cameH5066 nearH5066, and bowedH7812 themselvesH310: and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066 and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselvesH310. 8And he saidH559, WhatH834 meanest thou by allH3605 this companyH4264 whichH834 I metH6298? And he saidH559, To findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. 9And EsauH6215 saidH559, I have enoughH7227; my brotherH251, letH1961 that thou hast be thine. 10And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I prayH4994 thee, ifH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 my presentH4672 at my handH3027: forasmuch as I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as one seeth the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleasedH7521 with meH4994. 11TakeH3947, I prayH4994 thee, my giftH1293 that is broughtH935 to thee; becauseH3588 GodH430 hath dealt graciouslyH2603 with meH4994, and becauseH3588 I have enough. And he urgedH6484 him, and he tookH3947 it. 12And he saidH559, Let usH559 takeH5265 our journeyH5265, and let usH559 goH5265, and I will goH5265 beforeH5048 thee. 13And he saidH559 unto him, My lordH113 knoweth that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and that the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with meH413 give suck: and ifH3588 they overdrive them one dayH3117, allH3605 the flocksH6629 will dieH4191. 14LetH4994 my lordH113, I prayH4994 thee, passH5674 over beforeH6440 his servantH5650: and I will leadH413 on softly, accordingH413 to the paceH7272 of the cattleH4399 that is beforeH6440 meH413 and accordingH413 to the paceH7272 of the childrenH3206, untilH5704 I comeH935 unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165. 15And EsauH6215 saidH559, LetH4994 meH4994 nowH4994 leaveH4480 with thee someH4480 of the folk that are with meH4994. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? letH4994 meH4994 findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113. 16SoH7725 EsauH6215 returnedH7725 that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 unto SeirH8165. 17And JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 to SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 him an houseH1004, and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for his cattleH4735: therefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 SuccothH5523. 18And JacobH3290 cameH935 in peace to the cityH5892 of ShechemH7927, whichH834 is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 from Paddan-aramH6307; and encampedH2583 beforeH6440 the cityH5892. 19And he boughtH7069 the parcel of groundH7704, whereH834 he had spreadH5186 his tentH168, at the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem’sH7927 fatherH1, for an hundredH3967 piecesH7192 of moneyH7192. 20And he erectedH5324 there an altarH4196, and calledH7121 it El-elohe-Israel.
