Genesis

Chapter 33
1 And Jacob 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.

2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost,
and Leah and her children after,
and Rachel and Joseph in the rear.

{Note: Many of Jacob/Israel's problems have come and will continue to stem from the fact that he showed great partiality toward his wives and his individual children.}

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

4 And Esau ran to meet him,
and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

And they wept.

5 And he lifted up his eyes,
and saw the women and the children and said,
"Who are those with you?"

And he {Jacob/Israel} said,
"The children which 'Elohiym/Godhead
has graciously given your servant."

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

7 And Leah also with her children came near,
and bowed themselves.

And after came Joseph near and Rachel,
and they bowed themselves.

8 And he said,
"What did you mean by all this drove which I met?"

And he {Jacob/Israel} said,
"These are to find grace in the sight of my lord."

9 And Esau said,
"I have enough, my brother . . .
keep that which you have unto yourself."

10 And Jacob said,
"No, please/'I pray you',
if now I have found grace 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 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and you were pleased with me. 11

Take, please/'I pray you',
my blessing that is brought to you . . .
because 'Elohiym/Godhead has dealt graciously with me,
and because I have enough."

And he {Jacob/Israel} urged him {Esau} . . .
and he took it.

12 And he {Esau} said,
"Let us take our journey,
and let us go,
and I will go before you."

13 And he {Jacob/Israel} said unto him {Esau},
"My lord knows 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. 14

Let my lord, please/'I pray you',
pass over before his servant
and I will lead on softly,
according as the cattle that go before me
and the children be able to endure,
until I come unto my lord unto Seir."

15 And Esau said,
"Let me now leave with you some of the kinsmen
who are with me."

And he {Jacob/Israel} said, "What need is there of it?

Let me find grace in the sight of my lord."

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

17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth,
and built him an house,
and made booths for his cattle.

Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth
  {name means 'booths'}.

18 And Jacob 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.

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.

20 And he erected there an altar,
and called it El-Elohe-Israel
  {'El 'elohey Yisra'el - name means 'the Mighty God of Israel'}.
