033:006 Then the handmaids came near with their children,
and they bowed themselves. 033:007 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves. 033:008 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord." 033:009 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours." 033:010 Jacob said, "Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me. 033:011 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." He urged him, and he took it. 033:012 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you." 033:013 Jacob 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. 033:014 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir." 033:015 Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me." He said, "Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord." 033:016 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. 033:017 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.{succoth means shelters or booths.} |
