the children unto

unto
Rachel, and unto
the two maid-servants;

and their children first
, and
Leah and her children behind
, and Rachel and Joseph last
.
He put

and their children in

nigh
unto

falleth
on
his neck, and kisseth
him ,
and they weep;
Esau ,
however,
ran
to him and embraced
him, threw

around
his
neck, and kissed
him .

lifteth
up his
eyes,
and seeth

children, and
saith
, `What
`
are '
these to
thee
? '
And
he
saith
, `
The children with
whom
God hath
favoured
thy
servant. '
When
Esau
looked
up and saw
the women and children, he
asked
, “Who
are these with
you
? ”
Jacob
answered
, “These
are
the children God has
graciously
given
your
servant. ”
And
the maid-servants
draw
nigh,
they
and their children ,
and bow
themselves;
Then

bow
themselves
.

And
he
saith,
`
What to
thee
`is'
all
this camp
which
I
have
met
? '
and
he
saith,
`
To find grace
in the
eyes
of
my lord. '
“
What do
you
mean
by
sending
this whole
company
to
meet
me
? ”
asked
Esau.
“
To find favor
in your
sight,
my lord ,”
Jacob
answered
.
And
Esau
saith,
`
I have abundance
, my brother, let
it
be
to thyself
that
which
thou
hast
. '
“
I already
have plenty
, my brother, ”
Esau
replied.
“Keep
what
belongs
to you
. ”
And
Jacob saith,
`Nay
, I
pray
thee
, if ,
I pray
thee,
I
have found grace
in thine
eyes
, then thou
hast
received
my
present
from my hand, because
that
I have seen thy
face, as
the
seeing of
the face of God, and
thou
art
pleased
with
me ;
But
Jacob insisted
, “No
, please!
If I have found favor
in your
sight
, then receive
this
gift
from my hand .
For
indeed
, I have seen your
face, and
it
is
like
seeing the face of God, since
you
have
received
me favorably.
receive,
I
pray
thee,
my blessing,
which
is
brought to thee
, because God hath
favoured
me ,
and because
I have all `things';'
and
he
presseth
on
him ,
and
he receiveth,
Please
accept
my gift
that
was
brought to you
, because God has
been
gracious
to
me and I have all I
need.”
So
Jacob
pressed
him until
he accepted.
and
saith
, `
Let us journey
and
go
on, and I go on
before
thee
. '
Then
Esau
said
, “
Let us be
on our
way
, and I will
go ahead
of
you
. ”
And
he
saith
unto
him
, `
My lord knoweth
that the children `
are '
tender
, and the
suckling
flock
and the
herd
`
are '
with
me;
when
they have
beaten
them
one
day, then
hath
all the flock
died
.
But
Jacob
replied
, “
My lord knows
that the children are frail
, and I
must
care
for
sheep
and cattle
that
are nursing
their
young.
If
they are
driven
hard
for
even
a
day, all the animals
will
die
.
Let my lord ,
I
pray
thee,
pass
over
before
his servant ,
and
I
--
I lead
on gently
, according
to
the
foot
of
the work
which
`is'
before
me,
and to
the
foot
of
the
children, until that
I come unto
my lord ,
to
Seir. '
Please
let my lord go
ahead
of
his servant .
I will
continue
on slowly
, at
a
comfortable
pace
for
the livestock
and children, until I come to
my lord at
Seir. ”
And
Esau
saith,
`
Let me ,
I
pray
thee,
place
with
thee
some of the
people who
`are'
with me;'
and
he
said, `
Why `is'
this
? I
find grace
in the eyes
of my lord. '
“
Let me leave
some of my
people with you,”
Esau
said .
But
Jacob
replied
, “
Why do
that
? Let
me
find favor
in the sight
of my lord. ”
And
turn
back
on
that day doth
Esau on his way to Seir ;
So
that day Esau started
on his way back
to Seir ,
and
Jacob hath
journeyed
to Succoth, and
buildeth
to
himself
a house ,
and for his cattle
hath
made
booths,
therefore
hath
he
called
the
name
of
the place Succoth.
but
Jacob went
on
to Succoth, where
he
built
a house for
himself
and shelters
for his livestock;

the place was
called
Succoth.
And
Jacob cometh
in
to
Shalem
, a

coming

before
the city ,

and he
buyeth
the portion
of the
field
where he hath
stretched
out
his tent, from the hand
of
the
sons of Hamor, father of
Shechem
, for a hundred kesitah;
And the plot
of ground
where he pitched
his tent, he
purchased
from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s
father, for a hundred pieces
of

up there
an altar ,
and proclaimeth
at
it God

God
of
