RF GEN 33:1 Jacob and Esau Meet.
Then Jacob raised his eyes and saw that Esau approached, and four hundred men with him; so he separated the children of Leah and of Rachel, and of the two second wives,
RF GEN 33:2 and placed the second wives and their children in the front, and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph behind;
RF GEN 33:3 but he passed to the front of them and bowed to the earth seven times whilst approaching to his brother.
RF GEN 33:4 But Esau rushed forwards, and called to, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and wept.
RF GEN 33:5 Then he lifted his eyes and saw the wives and children and asked, "Who are these with you?"
And he replied, "The children which GOD has given me, your servant."
RF GEN 33:6 Then the second wives approached with their children and they bowed.
RF GEN 33:7 Leah also came forward and her children, and they bowed, and afterwards Joseph and Rachel, and they bowed.
RF GEN 33:8 So he asked, "What is all this camp with you which approaches me?"
When he replied, "To find favour in the eyes of my Lord!"
RF GEN 33:9 Esau, however, answered, "I have plenty, my brother: let your own remain to yourself."
RF GEN 33:10 But Jacob said, "Not so; if now I have found favour in your eyes, take a present from my hand, for certainly I have seen your face as if I had seen the face of GOD, and am delighted.
RF GEN 33:11 Now do take the thanks which I have brought to you, for GOD has favored me, and because there is plenty for me as well." So he pressed him until he took them.
RF GEN 33:12 Then he said, "I will rise up and travel and we will go along together."
RF GEN 33:13 But he answered him, "My Lord knows that the children are many, and the sheep and the cattle with me are breeding, so if we drive them a single day, then all the sheep will die.
RF GEN 33:14 But let my Lord now go before me, and I will be travelling at my ease, according to the pace of the guide before me, and the pace of the children, until that I come to my Lord, at Seir."
RF GEN 33:15 But Esau said, "I will then assign to you some of the people who are with me."
And he replied, "Why have I found this favour in the eyes of my Lord?"
RF GEN 33:16 So Esau returned that day on his journey to Seir,
RF GEN 33:17 but Jacob pitched his tent, and built himself a house, and cattle yards, making an encampment; therefore he called the name of the place Skuth.1
RF GEN 33:18 Afterwards. Jacob went quietly to the village of Shekhem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his return from Padan Aram, and encamped before the village,
RF GEN 33:19 and bought that part of the land, where he pitched his tent, from the hand of the son of Hamor the father of Shekhem for a hundred kesitas.
RF GEN 33:20 He also built an Altar there and called on GOD, the GOD of Israel.
