Genesis 33 King James Version (KJV)

1And Iacob lifted vp his eyes, and looked, and behold, Esau came, and with him
foure hundreth men: and hee diuided the children vnto Leah, and vnto Rachel, and
vnto the two handmaids.
2And he put the handmaides, and their chidren foremost, and Leah and her
children after, and Rachel and Ioseph hindermost.
3And hee passed ouer before them, and bowed himselfe to the ground
seuen times, vntill hee came neere to his brother.
4And Esau ran to meete him, and imbraced him, and fell on his necke, and
kissed him, and they wept.
5And he lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and said,
who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath
graciously giuen thy seruant.
6Then the handmaidens came neere; they and their children, and they
bowed themselues.
7And Leah also with her children came neere, and bowed themselues: and
after came Ioseph neere and Rachel, and they bowed themselues.
8And he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? And he
said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9And Esau said, I haue enough: my brother, keepe that thou hast vnto thy
selfe.
10And Iacob saide, Nay, I pray thee: if now I haue found grace in thy sight,
then receiue my present at my hand: for therefore I haue seene thy face, as
though I had seene the face of God; and thou wast pleased with me.
11Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath
dealt graciously with mee, and because I haue enough: and hee vrged him,
and he tooke it.
12And he said, Let vs take our iourney, and let vs goe, and I will goe before
thee.
13And hee said vnto him, My lord knoweth, that the children are tender, and
the flockes and heards with yong are with mee: and if men should ouer-
driue them one day, all the flocke will die.
14Let my lord, I pray thee, passe ouer before his seruant, and I will leade
on softly, according as the cattell that goeth before me, and the children be
able to endure, vntill I come vnto my lord vnto Seir.
15And Esau said, Let me now leaue with thee some of the folke that are
with me: And hee said, What needeth it? let me finde grace in the sight of
my lord.
16¶ So Esau returned that day, on his way vnto Seir.
17And Iacob iourneyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made
boothes for his cattell: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18¶ And Iacob came to Shalem, a citie of Shechem, which is the land of
Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram, and pitched his tent before the
Citie.
19And he bought a parcell of a field where hee had spread his tent, at the
hand of the children of Hamor Shechems father, for an hundred pieces of
money.
20And hee erected there an Altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
