33:7-34:7
[33:7] And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
[33:8] And he said, What meanest thou by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.
[33:9] And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let that which thou hast be thine.
[33:10] And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
[33:11] Take, I pray thee, my gift 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.
[33:12] And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
[33:13] And he said unto him, My lord knoweth 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.
[33:14] Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
[33:15] 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 favor in the sight of my lord.
[33:16] So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
[33:17] And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
[33:18] And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the city.
[33:19] And he bought the parcel of ground, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money.
[33:20] And he erected there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
[34:1] And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
[34:2] And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her; and he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.
[34:3] And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
[34:4] And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
[34:5] Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they came.
[34:6] And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
[34:7] And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
