33Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah and Rachel and the two maidservants.H3290H5375H5869H7200H6215H935H702H3967H376H2673H3206H3812H7354H8147H8198 2He put the maidservants out in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.H7760H8198H3206H7223H3812H3206H314H7354H3130H314 3He led the way and, as he approached his brother, bowed seven times, honoring his brother.H5674H6440H7812H776H7651H6471H5066H251 4But Esau ran up and embraced him, held him tight and kissed him. And they both wept.H6215H7323H7125H2263H5307H6677H5401H1058 5Then Esau looked around and saw the women and children: "And who are these with you?" Jacob said, "The children that God saw fit to bless me with."H5375H5869H7200H802H3206H559H428H559H3206H430H2603H5650 6Then the maidservants came up with their children and bowed;H8198H5066H3206H7812 7then Leah and her children, also bowing; and finally, Joseph and Rachel came up and bowed to Esau.H3812H3206H5066H7812H310H5066H3130H5066H7354H7812 8Esau then asked, "And what was the meaning of all those herds that I met?" "I was hoping that they would pave the way for my master to welcome me."H559H4264H6298H559H4672H2580H5869H113 9Esau said, "Oh, brother. I have plenty of everything—keep what is yours for yourself."H6215H559H3426H7227H251 10Jacob said, "Please. If you can find it in your heart to welcome me, accept these gifts. When I saw your face, it was as the face of God smiling on me.H3290H559H4672H2580H5869H3947H4503H3027H7200H6440H7200H6440H430H7521 11Accept the gifts I have brought for you. God has been good to me and I have more than enough." Jacob urged the gifts on him and Esau accepted.H3947H1293H935H430H2603H3605H3426H3605H6484H3947 12Then Esau said, "Let's start out on our way; I'll take the lead."H559H5265H3212H3212 13But Jacob said, "My master can see that the children are frail. And the flocks and herds are nursing, making for slow going. If I push them too hard, even for a day, I'd lose them all.H559H113H3045H3206H7390H6629H1241H5763H1849H259H3117H6629H4191 14So, master, you go on ahead of your servant, while I take it easy at the pace of my flocks and children. I'll catch up with you in Seir."H113H5674H6440H5650H5095H328H7272H4399H6440H3206H7272H935H113H8165 15Esau said, "Let me at least lend you some of my men." "There's no need," said Jacob. "Your generous welcome is all I need or want."H6215H559H3322H5971H559H4100H4672H2580H5869H113 16So Esau set out that day and made his way back to Seir.H6215H7725H3117H1870H8165 17And Jacob left for Succoth. He built a shelter for himself and sheds for his livestock. That's how the place came to be called Succoth (Sheds).H3290H5265H5523H1129H1004H6213H5521H4735H8034H4725H7121H5523 18And that's how it happened that Jacob arrived all in one piece in Shechem in the land of Canaan—all the way from Paddan Aram. He camped near the city.H3290H935H8004H5892H7927H776H3667H935H6307H2583H6440H5892 19He bought the land where he pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He paid a hundred silver coins for it.H7069H2513H7704H5186H168H3027H1121H2544H7927H1H3967H7192 20Then he built an altar there and named it El-Elohe-Israel (Mighty Is the God of Israel).H5324H4196H7121H415
