Gênesis 33

1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and saw, 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.

2 And he put the handmaids and their children in front, and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.

3 And he passed over in front of them and bowed himself to the ground seven times until he came near to his brother.

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

5 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 whom God hath graciously given thy servant.

6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

7 And Leah also with her children came near and bowed themselves; and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they also bowed themselves.

8 And he said, What [meanest] thou by all these droves which I met? And he said, To find grace in the sight of my lord.

9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast unto thyself.

10 And Jacob said, No, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present from my hand, that for this I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God; and do me the pleasure.

11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee because God has dealt graciously with me, and all [that is here] is mine. And he urged him, and he took [it].

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

13 And he said unto him, My lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the sheep and cows with young [are] with me; and if men should overdrive them, in one day all the sheep will die.

14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass before his servant; and I will lead on softly, according as the property that goes before me and the children are able to endure until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the folk that [are] with me. And he said, What for? Let me find grace in the sight of my lord.

16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

18 And Jacob came safe and sound to the city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram, and pitched his tent before the city.

19 And he bought part of the field where he had spread his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred ewes.

20 And there he erected an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel ([the Strong God of Israel]).:
