drb @Genesis:33:1 @And Jacob lifting up his eyes , saw Esau coming , and with him four hundred men : and he divided the children of Lia , and of Rachel , and of the two handmaids : drb @Genesis:33:2 @And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost : and Lia and her children in the second place : and Rachel and Joseph last . drb @Genesis:33:3 @And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near . drb @Genesis:33:4 @Then Esau ran to meet his brother , and embraced him : and clasping him fast about the neck , and kissing him , wept . drb @Genesis:33:5 @And lifting up his eyes , he saw the women and their children , and said : What mean these ? And do they belong to thee ? He answered : They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant . drb @Genesis:33:6 @Then the handmaids and their children came near , and bowed themselves . drb @Genesis:33:7 @Lia also with her children came near , and bowed down in like manner , and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down . drb @Genesis:33:8 @And Esau said : What are the droves that I met ? He answered : That I might find favor before my lord . drb @Genesis:33:9 @But he said : I have plenty , my brother , keep what is thine for thyself . drb @Genesis:33:10 @And Jacob said : Do not so I beseech thee , but if I have found favor in thy eyes , receive a little present at my hands : for I have seen thy face , as if I should have seen the countenance of God : be gracious to me , drb @Genesis:33:11 @And take the blessing , which I have brought thee , and which God hath given me , who giveth all things . He took it with much ado at his brother 's earnest pressing him , drb @Genesis:33:12 @And said : Let us go on together , and I will accompany thee in thy journey . drb @Genesis:33:13 @And Jacob said : My lord , thou knowest that I have with me tender children , and sheep , and kine with young : which if I should cause to be overdriven , in one day all the flocks will die . drb @Genesis:33:14 @May it please my lord to go before his servant : and I will follow softly after him , as I shall see my children to be able , until I come to my lord in Seir . drb @Genesis:33:15 @Esau answered : I beseech thee , that some of the people at least , who are with me , may stay to accompany thee in the way . And he said : There is no necessity : I want nothing else but only to find favor , my lord , in thy sight . drb @Genesis:33:16 @So Esau returned , that day , the way that he came , to Seir . drb @Genesis:33:17 @And Jacob came to Socoth : where having built a house , and pitched tents , he called the name of the place Socoth , that is , Tents . drb @Genesis:33:18 @And he passed over to Salem , a city of the Sichemites , which is in the land of Chanaan , after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria : and he dwelt by the town : drb @Genesis:33:19 @And he bought that part of the field , in which he pitched his tents , of the children of Hemor , the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs . drb @Genesis:33:20 @And raising an altar there , he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel .
