Genesis 33

About Genesis Genesis tells of creation, the first sin, the flood, and God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.

And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.SelectedGenesis 33:1Ask

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.SelectedGenesis 33:2Ask

And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.SelectedGenesis 33:3Ask

And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.SelectedGenesis 33:4Ask

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.SelectedGenesis 33:5Ask

Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.SelectedGenesis 33:6Ask

And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.SelectedGenesis 33:7Ask

And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.SelectedGenesis 33:8Ask

And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.SelectedGenesis 33:9Ask

And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.SelectedGenesis 33:10Ask

Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.SelectedGenesis 33:11Ask

And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.SelectedGenesis 33:12Ask

And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.SelectedGenesis 33:13Ask

Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.SelectedGenesis 33:14Ask

And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.SelectedGenesis 33:15Ask

So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.SelectedGenesis 33:16Ask

And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.SelectedGenesis 33:17Ask

And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.SelectedGenesis 33:18Ask

And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.SelectedGenesis 33:20Ask
