Dual Panel1Then Jacob<3290> lifted<5375> his eyes<5869> and looked<7200>, and behold<2009>, Esau<6215> was coming<935>, and four<702> hundred<3967> men<376> with him. So he divided<2673> the children<3206> among<5921> Leah<3812> and Rachel<7354> and the two<8147> maids<8198>.
2He put<7760> the maids<8198> and their children<3206> in front<7223>, and Leah<3812> and her children<3206> next<314>, and Rachel<7354> and Joseph<3130> last<314>.
3But he himself<1931> passed<5674> on ahead<6440> of them and bowed<7812> down<7812> to the ground<776> seven<7651> times<6471>, until<5704> he came<5066> near<5066> to his brother<251>.
4Then Esau<6215> ran<7323> to meet<7122> him and embraced<2263> him, and fell<5307> on his neck<6677> and kissed<5401> him, and they wept<1058>.
5He lifted<5375> his eyes<5869> and saw<7200> the women<802> and the children<3206>, and said<559>, "Who<4310> are these<428> with you?" So he said<559>, "The children<3206> whom<834> God<430> has graciously<2603> given<2603> your servant<5650>."
6Then the maids<8198> came<5066> near<5066> with their children<3206>, and they bowed<7812> down<7812>.
7Leah<3812> likewise<1571> came<5066> near<5066> with her children<3206>, and they bowed<7812> down<7812>; and afterward<310> Joseph<3130> came<5066> near<5066> with Rachel<7354>, and they bowed<7812> down<7812>.
8And he said<559>, "What<4310> do you mean by all<3605> this<2088> company<4264> which<834> I have met<6298>?" And he said<559>, "To find<4672> favor<2580> in the sight<5869> of my lord<113>."
9But Esau<6215> said<559>, "I have<3426> plenty<7227>, my brother<251>; let what<834> you have<1961> be your own."
10Jacob<3290> said<559>, "No<408>, please<4994>, if<518> now<4994> I have found<4672> favor<2580> in your sight<5869>, then take<3947> my present<4503> from my hand<3027>, for I see<7200> your face<6440> as one sees<7200> the face<6440> of God<430>, and you have received<7521> me favorably<7521>.
11"Please<4994> take<3947> my gift<1293> which<834> has been brought<935> to you, because<3588> God<430> has dealt<2603> graciously<2603> with me and because<3588> I have<3426> plenty<3605>." Thus he urged<6484> him and he took<3947> it.
12Then Esau said<559>, "Let us take<5265> our journey<5265> and go<1980>, and I will go<1980> before<5048> you."
13But he said<559> to him, "My lord<113> knows<3045> that the children<3206> are frail<7390> and that the flocks<6629> and herds<1241> which are nursing<5763> are a care<5921> to me. And if they are driven<1849> hard<1849> one<259> day<3117>, all<3605> the flocks<6629> will die<4191>.
14"Please<4994> let my lord<113> pass<5674> on before<6440> his servant<5650>, and I will proceed<5095> at my leisure<328>, according to the pace<7272> of the cattle<4399> that are before<6440> me and according to the pace<7272> of the children<3206>, until<5704><834> I come<935> to my lord<113> at Seir<8165>."
15Esau<6215> said<559>, "Please<4994> let me leave<3322> with you some<4480> of the people<5971> who<834> are with me." But he said<559>, "What<4100> need is there? Let me find<4672> favor<2580> in the sight<5869> of my lord<113>."
16So Esau<6215> returned<7725> that day<3117> on his way<1870> to Seir<8165>.
17Jacob<3290> journeyed<5265> to Succoth<5523>, and built<1129> for himself a house<1004> and made<6213> booths<5521> for his livestock<4735>; therefore<5921><3651> the place<4725> is named<7121><8034> Succoth<5523>.
18Now Jacob<3290> came<935> safely<8003> to the city<5892> of Shechem<7927>, which<834> is in the land<776> of Canaan<3667>, when he came<935> from Paddan-aram<6307>, and camped<2583> before<6440> the city<5892>.
19He bought<7069> the piece<2513> of land<2513> where<834><8033> he had pitched<5186> his tent<168> from the hand<3027> of the sons<1121> of Hamor<2544>, Shechem's<7927> father<1>, for one hundred<3967> pieces<7192> of money<7192>.
20Then he erected<5324> there<8033> an altar<4196> and called<7121> it El-Elohe-Israel<415>.
