CHAP. XXXIII.
1 The kindnesse of Iacob and Esau at their meeting. 17 Iacob commeth to Succoth. 18 At Salem he buyeth a field, and buildeth an Altar called Elohe Israel.
4 And Esau ran to meete him, and imbraced him, and fell on his necke, and kissed him, and they wept.
5 And 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.5
6 Then the handmaidens came neere; they and their children, and they bowed themselues.
8 And 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.8
9 And Esau said, I haue enough: my brother, keepe that thou hast vnto thy selfe.9
12 And he said, Let vs take our iourney, and let vs goe, and I will goe before thee.
14 Let 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.14
15 And 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.15
16 ¶ So Esau returned that day, on his way vnto Seir.
17 And Iacob iourneyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made boothes for his cattell: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.17
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.18
19 And 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.19
20 And hee erected there an Altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.20
