acv Genesis:31-33
acv@Genesis:31:1 @ And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and he has gotten all this glory of that which was our father's.
acv@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.
acv@Genesis:31:3 @ And LORD said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I will be with thee.
acv@Genesis:31:4 @ And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field to his flock,
acv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime, but the God of my father has been with me.
acv@Genesis:31:6 @ And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
acv@Genesis:31:7 @ And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
acv@Genesis:31:8 @ If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore speckled, and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages, then all the flock bore ringstreaked.
acv@Genesis:31:9 @ Thus God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
acv@Genesis:31:10 @ And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.
acv@Genesis:31:11 @ And the agent of God said to me in the dream, Jacob. And I said, Here I am.
acv@Genesis:31:12 @ And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled, for I have seen all that Laban does to thee.
acv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointed a pillar, where thou vowed a vow to me. Now arise, get thee out from this land, and return to the land of thy nativity.
acv@Genesis:31:14 @ And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
acv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.
acv@Genesis:31:16 @ For all the riches which God has taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's. Now then, whatever God has said to thee, do.
acv@Genesis:31:17 @ Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels.
acv@Genesis:31:18 @ And he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father to the land of Canaan.
acv@Genesis:31:19 @ Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.
acv@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob slipped away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he fled.
acv@Genesis:31:21 @ So he fled with all that he had. And he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.
acv@Genesis:31:22 @ And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
acv@Genesis:31:23 @ And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.
acv@Genesis:31:24 @ And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
acv@Genesis:31:25 @ And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain. And Laban encamped with his brothers in the mountain of Gilead.
acv@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob, What have thou done, that thou have slipped away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?
acv@Genesis:31:27 @ Why did thou flee secretly, and creep away from me, and did not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
acv@Genesis:31:28 @ and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now thou have done foolishly.
acv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in the power of my hand to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou not speak to Jacob either good or bad.
acv@Genesis:31:30 @ And now, [though] thou have certainly gone, because thou have been very desirous for thy father's house, [yet] why have thou stolen my gods?
acv@Genesis:31:31 @ And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest thou should take thy daughters from me by force.
acv@Genesis:31:32 @ With whomever thou find thy gods, he shall not live. Before our brothers discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
acv@Genesis:31:33 @ And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
acv@Genesis:31:34 @ Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt around all the tent, but did not find them.
acv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but did not find the teraphim.
acv@Genesis:31:36 @ And Jacob was angry, and chided with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? What is my sin that thou have hotly pursued after me?
acv@Genesis:31:37 @ Whereas thou have felt around all my stuff, what have thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brothers and thy brothers, that they may judge between us two.
acv@Genesis:31:38 @ These twenty years I have been with thee, thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and I have not eaten the rams of thy flocks.
acv@Genesis:31:39 @ I did not bring to thee that which was torn by beasts; I bore the loss of it, of my hand thou required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
acv@Genesis:31:40 @ Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
acv@Genesis:31:41 @ These twenty years I have been in thy house. I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock. And thou have changed my wages ten times.
acv@Genesis:31:42 @ Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now thou would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee last night.
acv@Genesis:31:43 @ And Laban answered and said to Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the sons are my sons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou see is mine. And what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their sons whom th
acv@Genesis:31:44 @ And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
acv@Genesis:31:45 @ And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
acv@Genesis:31:46 @ And Jacob said to his brothers, Gather stones, and they took stones, and made a heap. And they ate there by the heap.
acv@Genesis:31:47 @ And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.
acv@Genesis:31:48 @ And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore the name of it was called Galeed,
acv@Genesis:31:49 @ and Mizpah. For he said, May LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another,
acv@Genesis:31:50 @ if thou will afflict my daughters, and if thou will take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us, see, God is witness between me and thee.
acv@Genesis:31:51 @ And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set between me and thee.
acv@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is witness, and the pillar is witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shall not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
acv@Genesis:31:53 @ The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
acv@Genesis:31:54 @ And Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread, and tarried all night on the mountain.
acv@Genesis:31:55 @ And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.
acv@Genesis:32:1 @ And Jacob went on his way, and the agents of God met him.
acv@Genesis:32:2 @ And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
acv@Genesis:32:3 @ And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
acv@Genesis:32:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau, Thus says thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now.
acv@Genesis:32:5 @ And I have oxen, and donkeys, flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants. And I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight.
acv@Genesis:32:6 @ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
acv@Genesis:32:7 @ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. And he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
acv@Genesis:32:8 @ And he said, If Esau comes to the one company, and smites it, then the company which is left shall escape.
acv@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, who said to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good,
acv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou have shown to thy servant, for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.
acv@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau. For I fear him, lest he comes and smites me, the mother with the sons.
acv@Genesis:32:12 @ And thou said, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
acv@Genesis:32:13 @ And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother:
acv@Genesis:32:14 @ two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
acv@Genesis:32:15 @ thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-donkeys and ten foals.
acv@Genesis:32:16 @ And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.
acv@Genesis:32:17 @ And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose are thou? And where do thou go? And whose are these before thee?
acv@Genesis:32:18 @ Then thou shall say, Thy servant Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And, behold, he also is behind us.
acv@Genesis:32:19 @ And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all who followed the herds, saying, On this manner shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him,
acv@Genesis:32:20 @ and ye shall say, Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.
acv@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed over before him, and he himself lodged that night in the company.
acv@Genesis:32:22 @ And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
acv@Genesis:32:23 @ And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
acv@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.
acv@Genesis:32:25 @ And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained as he wrestled with him.
acv@Genesis:32:26 @ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me.
acv@Genesis:32:27 @ And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
acv@Genesis:32:28 @ And he said, Thy name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel, for thou have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.
acv@Genesis:32:29 @ And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Why is it that thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there.
acv@Genesis:32:30 @ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
acv@Genesis:32:31 @ And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel [Peniel], and he limped upon his thigh.
acv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.
acv@Genesis:33:1 @ And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. And he divided the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
acv@Genesis:33:2 @ And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindmost.
acv@Genesis:33:3 @ And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
acv@Genesis:33:4 @ And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept.
acv@Genesis:33:5 @ And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children whom God has graciously given thy servant.
acv@Genesis:33:6 @ Then the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
acv@Genesis:33:7 @ And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. And afterward Joseph came near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
acv@Genesis:33:8 @ And he said, What do thou mean by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.
acv@Genesis:33:9 @ And Esau said, I have enough, my brother, let that which thou have be thine.
acv@Genesis:33:10 @ And Jacob said, No, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand, inasmuch as I have seen thy face, as any man would see the face of God, and thou were pleased with me.
acv@Genesis:33:11 @ Take, I pray thee, my gift that is brought to thee, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
acv@Genesis:33:12 @ And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
acv@Genesis:33:13 @ And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
acv@Genesis:33:14 @ Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.
acv@Genesis:33:15 @ And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folks that are with me. And he said, What need is it? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.
acv@Genesis:33:16 @ So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
acv@Genesis:33:17 @ And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for him a house, and made booths for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
acv@Genesis:33:18 @ And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and encamped before the city.
acv@Genesis:33:19 @ And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred lambs.
acv@Genesis:33:20 @ And he erected an altar there, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
acv@Genesis:34:1 @ And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
