| Chapter 33 |
1 |
Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and to the two handmaids. |
2 |
He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear. |
3 |
He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. |
4 |
Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept. |
5 |
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant." |
6 |
Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves. |
7 |
Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves. |
8 |
Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord." |
9 |
Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours."
