rotherham Genesis:32-34
rotherham@Genesis:32:1 @ When, Jacob, had gone on his way, there met him, messengers of God.
rotherham@Genesis:32:2 @ And Jacob said, when he saw them, the camp of God, is this! So he called the name of that place, Mahanaim.
rotherham@Genesis:32:3 @ Then did Jacob send messengers before him unto Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
rotherham@Genesis:32:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, Thus, shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus, saith thy servant Jacob, With Laban, have I sojourned, and tarried until now:
rotherham@Genesis:32:5 @ And I have oxen and asses, flocks and men-servants, and maid-servants, So I must needs send to tell my lord, that I might find favour in thine eyes.
rotherham@Genesis:32:6 @ And the messengers returned unto Jacob, saying, We came in unto thy brother unto Esau, moreover also he is on his way to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
rotherham@Genesis:32:7 @ Then was Jacob greatly afraid, and in distress. So he divided the people that were with him and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two camps,
rotherham@Genesis:32:8 @ And he said. Should Esau come upon the one camp, and smite it, yet shall the camp that is left escape.
rotherham@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who wast saying unto me, Return to thy land and to thy kindred that I may deal well with thee:
rotherham@Genesis:32:10 @ I am too small for all the lovingkindnesses and for all the faithfulness, which thou hast done unto thy servant, For with my staff, passed I over this Jordan, But, now, have I become two camps.
rotherham@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me I pray thee out of the hand of my brother out of the hand of Esau, for I, am afraid of him, lest he come in and smite mother as well as sons
rotherham@Genesis:32:12 @ But, thou thyself, saidst, I wilt deal well with thee. So will I make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not to be counted, for multitude.
rotherham@Genesis:32:13 @ And he tarried there that night, and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother:
rotherham@Genesis:32:14 @ She-goats, two hundred; And he-goats, twenty; Ewes, two hundred; And rams, twenty;
rotherham@Genesis:32:15 @ Milch camels, with their colts, thirty; Cows, forty; And bulls, ten; She-asses, twenty; And
rotherham@Genesis:32:16 @ And he gave them into the hand of his Servants, each drove by itself, and said unto his servants Pass over before me, and, a breathing-space, shall ye put betwixt drove and drove.
rotherham@Genesis:32:17 @ And be commanded the first one saying: When Esau my brother shall fall in with thee, and shall ask thee, saying Whose art thou? and whither wouldst thou go? and to whom belong these before thee?
rotherham@Genesis:32:18 @ then shalt thou say, To thy servant Jacob: It is, a present, sent to my lord, to Esau; And behold he himself also is behind us,
rotherham@Genesis:32:19 @ And he commanded the second also, and the third yea all that were going on behind the droves, saying, According to this word, shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
rotherham@Genesis:32:20 @ Then shall ye say, Also, lo! thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said: I must pacify him with the present that goeth on before me. And, after that, will I see his face: Peradventure he will accept me.
rotherham@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed over before him, whereas he himself tarried that night in the camp.
rotherham@Genesis:32:22 @ And he arose in that night and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and pressed over the ford of Jabbok.
rotherham@Genesis:32:23 @ So he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had.
rotherham@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him, until the uprisings of the dawn.
rotherham@Genesis:32:25 @ And when he saw, that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacobs thigh was put out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
rotherham@Genesis:32:26 @ Then said he Let me go, for uprisen hath the dawn. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou have blessed me
rotherham@Genesis:32:27 @ Then he said unto him What is thy name? And he said Jacob.
rotherham@Genesis:32:28 @ Then he said Not Jacob, shall thy name be called any more, but Israel, For thou hast contended with God and with men and hast prevailed.
rotherham@Genesis:32:29 @ Then asked Jacob and said, Do, I pray thee, tell me thy name! And he said Wherefore now, shouldest thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there,
rotherham@Genesis:32:30 @ So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; For I saw God face to face; and my soul was delivered,
rotherham@Genesis:32:31 @ And the sun rose on him as soon as he had passed over Penuel, he, moreover was halting upon his thigh,
rotherham@Genesis:32:32 @ For this cause, the sons of Israel eat not of the nerve of the large hip-sinew, which is by the hollow of the thigh, until this day, because he touched the hollow of the thigh of Jacob, in the nerve of the hip-sinew.
rotherham@Genesis:33:1 @ Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the childrenunto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;
rotherham@Genesis:33:2 @ and put the handmaids and their children first, and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph next;
rotherham@Genesis:33:3 @ but he himself, passed over before them, and bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he had come near unto his brother.
rotherham@Genesis:33:4 @ Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and they wept.
rotherham@Genesis:33:5 @ Then lifted he up his eyes, and beheld the women and the children, and said What are these to thee? And he said The children wherewith God hath favoured thy servant,
rotherham@Genesis:33:6 @ Then came near the handmaids, theyand their children, and bowed themselves.
rotherham@Genesis:33:7 @ Then came near Leah also with her children, and they bowed themselves. And afterwards, came near Joseph with Rachel, and they bowed themselves,
rotherham@Genesis:33:8 @ Then said he, What to thee is all this camp, which I have fallen in with? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord.
rotherham@Genesis:33:9 @ Then said Esau, I have an abundance, my brother, be thine what thou hast!
rotherham@Genesis:33:10 @ Then said Jacob, Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, have found favour in thine eyes, then thou wilt take my present at my hand, For on this account, hath my seeing thy face been like seeing the face of God in that thou wast well-pleased with me.
rotherham@Genesis:33:11 @ Take, I pray thee my blessing which hath been brought in to thee, because God hath shewed me favour and because I have everything. So he was urgent with him and he took it.
rotherham@Genesis:33:12 @ Then he said, Let us break up and go, and let me go on before thee.
rotherham@Genesis:33:13 @ And he said unto him, My lord, is taking note, that, the children are tender, and the flocks and the herds are giving suck with me, and, should I overdrive them a single day, then would all the flocks die.
rotherham@Genesis:33:14 @ Let my lord, I pray thee pass over before his servant, and let, me, lead on in my own easy way, at the pace of the cattle that are before me, and at the pace of the children, until that I come in unto my lord, towards Seir.
rotherham@Genesis:33:15 @ Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!
rotherham@Genesis:33:16 @ So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.
rotherham@Genesis:33:17 @ But, Jacob, brake up towards Succoth, and built for himself a house, for his cattle, made he places of shelter, for which cause, the name of the place was called, Succoth.
rotherham@Genesis:33:18 @ And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came in from Padan-aram, and he encamped before the city.
rotherham@Genesis:33:19 @ And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread out his tent, at the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitahs.
rotherham@Genesis:33:20 @ And he set up there an altar, and called it, El-elohe-Israel.
rotherham@Genesis:34:1 @ Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, to see the daughters of the land.
rotherham@Genesis:34:2 @ And Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the lend, saw her, so he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
rotherham@Genesis:34:3 @ And his soul clave unto Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman, and spake to the heart of the young woman.
rotherham@Genesis:34:4 @ Then spake Shechem unto Hamor his father, saying, Take me this girl to wife!
rotherham@Genesis:34:5 @ Now, Jacob, had heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, but, his sons, happened to be with his cattle in the field, so Jacob kept quiet until they came in.
rotherham@Genesis:34:6 @ Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob, to speak with him.
rotherham@Genesis:34:7 @ Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly, for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel in lying with Jacobs daughter, seeing that so, it should not be done.
rotherham@Genesis:34:8 @ So then Hamor spake with them saying As for Shechem my son, his soul hath be-come attached to your daughter, I pray you give her to him, to wife.
rotherham@Genesis:34:9 @ And exchange ye daughters with us in marriage, your daughters, shall ye give to us, and our daughters, shall ye take to you.
rotherham@Genesis:34:10 @ And with us, stroll ye dwell, and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get possessions therein.
rotherham@Genesis:34:11 @ Then said Shechem unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes, and, whatsoever ye may say unto me, will I give:
rotherham@Genesis:34:12 @ Heap on me, exceedingly, dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me, but give me the young woman, to wife.
rotherham@Genesis:34:13 @ And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spake (because he had defiled Dinah their sister)
rotherham@Genesis:34:14 @ and said unto them We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man that is uncircumcised, for a reproach, it would be to us.
rotherham@Genesis:34:15 @ Only herein, can we consent to you, If ye will become like us, by circumcising to you every male,
rotherham@Genesis:34:16 @ then will we give our daughters to you, and your daughters, will we take to us, and we will dwell with you, and become one people.
rotherham@Genesis:34:17 @ But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and be gone.
rotherham@Genesis:34:18 @ And their words looked fair in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamors son;
rotherham@Genesis:34:19 @ and the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacobs daughter, he, moreover being more honourable than all the house of his father.
rotherham@Genesis:34:20 @ So Hamor entered with Shechem his son into the gate of their city, and they spake unto the men of their city, saying:
rotherham@Genesis:34:21 @ As for these men, in peace, they are with uslet them therefore dwell in the land and go through it, for, the land, lo! it is roomy on both hands before them, their daughters, let us take to us for wives, and our daughters, let us give to them.
rotherham@Genesis:34:22 @ Only herein, will the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, If we circumcise to us every male, even as they are circumcised.
rotherham@Genesis:34:23 @ Their herds and their substance, and all their beasts, shall they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may dwell with us.
rotherham@Genesis:34:24 @ And they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city, and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth out of the gate of his city.
rotherham@Genesis:34:25 @ And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob Simeon and Levi, Dinahs brothers, took each man his sword, and came in upon the city, boldly, and slew every, male;
rotherham@Genesis:34:26 @ Hamor also, and Shechem his son, slew they with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and came forth,
rotherham@Genesis:34:27 @ The sons of Jacob, came in upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister:
rotherham@Genesis:34:28 @ their flocks, and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, they took;
rotherham@Genesis:34:29 @ and all their wealth and all their little ones, and their women, took they captive, and seized as plunder, even all that was in their houses.
rotherham@Genesis:34:30 @ Then said Jacob unto Simeon and unto Levi Ye have troubled me by making me odious among them that dwell in the land, among the Canaanites, and among the Perizzites, I, having only men that may be counted, they will gather themselves, together against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed both I and my house.
rotherham@Genesis:34:31 @ And they said, As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.
rotherham@Genesis:35:1 @ Then said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
