The Friendly Meeting Of Yacob And Esau

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:1

 ?  And Yacob 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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:2

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Yoseph hindermost.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:3

And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:4

And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:5

 ?  And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with you? And he said, The children which YAHWEH hath graciously given your servant.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:6

Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:7

And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Yoseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:8

And he said, What meanest you by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find favour in the sight of my master.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:9

And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that you have unto thyself.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:10

And Yacob said, Nay, I pray you, if now I have found favour in your sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen your face, as though I had seen the face of YAHWEH, and you wast pleased with me.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:11

Take, I pray you, my blessing that is brought to you; because YAHWEH hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:12

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

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:13

And he said unto him, My master 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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:14

Let my master, I pray you, 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 master unto Seir.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:15

And Esau said, Let me now leave with you some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find favour in the sight of my master.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:16

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

Yacob Comes To Succoth And Shalem, He Builds An Altar

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:17

And Yacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:18

And Yacob 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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:19

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.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 33:20

And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
