Genesis 33 The meeting of Esau and Jacob

Genesis 33
The meeting of Esau and Jacob
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau came, and four hundred men with him. Then divided the children between Leah and Rachel and the two maidservants.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came 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 these with you? And he said, The children that God has graciously given thy servant.
6 Then came the servants; they and their children, and bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also came with their children, and they bowed down; and then came Joseph and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 And Esau said: Give serving you all this company that I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; be to you what you have.
10 And Jacob said, No, if I have found favor in your eyes, I beseech you that ye take my gift from my hand because I have seen thy face, as if he had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God has graciously given; and because I have everything. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 And I said, we walk, and walk, and I will go before thee.
13 And he said unto him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and I have with me sheep and dairy cows; if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Now my lord pass before the face of his servant; and I will guide how little by little, as the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.
15 And Esau said, I will leave you soon these people who are with me. And he said, What is this? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 Jacob but journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house; and made booths for his cattle: therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
