Genesis 33
[1] 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. [2] And he put the handmaids and their children
foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
[3] And he passed over before 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 which 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 bowed themselves. [8] 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. [9] And Esau said, I have enough, my brother;
keep that thou hast unto thyself.
[10] 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. [11] 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.
[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 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. [14] 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. [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 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 him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore
the name of the place is called Succoth. [18] And Jacob came to Shalem, a city
of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram; and
pitched his tent before the city. [19] And he bought a parcel of a field,
where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's
father, for an hundred pieces of money.
[20] And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel.
Genesis 34
[1] And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see
the daughters of the land.
[2] And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw
her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. [3] And his soul clave
unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly
unto the damsel. [4] And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me
this damsel to wife.
[5] And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were
with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
[6] And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
[7] And the sons of Jacob came out of 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. [8]
And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for
your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. [9] And make ye marriages with
us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
[10] And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and
trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. [11] And Shechem said unto
her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye
shall say unto me I will give. [12] Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I
will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
[13] And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully,
and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: [14] And they said unto
them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is
uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us: [15] But in this will we
consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be
circumcised;
[16] Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters
to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. [17] But if
ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our
daughter, and we will be gone. [18] And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem
Hamor's son. [19] And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he
had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house
of his father.
[20] And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and
communed with the men of their city, saying, [21] These men are peaceable with
us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land,
behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for
wives, and let us give them our daughters. [22] Only herein will the men
consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us
be circumcised, as they are circumcised. [23] Shall not their cattle and their
substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them,
and they will dwell with us. [24] And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son
hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was
circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
[25] And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of
the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword,
and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. [26] And they slew
Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of
Shechem's house, and went out. [27] The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and
spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
[28] They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which
was in the city, and that which was in the field, [29] And all their wealth,
and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even
all that was in the house. [30] And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have
troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the
Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather
themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and
my house. [31] And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
Genesis 35
[1] And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make
there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the
face of Esau thy brother.
[2] Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put
away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your
garments:
[3] And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto
God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way
which I went.
[4] And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand,
and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the
oak which was by Shechem.
[5] And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were
round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. [6] So
Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all
the people that were with him. [7] And he built there an altar, and called the
place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the
face of his brother. [8] But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried
beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth. [9]
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed
him.
[10] And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called
any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
[11] And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a
nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of
thy loins;
[12] And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and
to thy seed after thee will I give the land. [13] And God went up from him in
the place where he talked with him. [14] And Jacob set up a pillar in the
place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink
offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
[15] And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
[16] And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to
Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. [17] And it came to
pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not;
thou shalt have this son also. [18] And it came to pass, as her soul was in
departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father
called him Benjamin. [19] And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to
Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
[20] And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's
grave unto this day.
[21] And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. [22]
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay
with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob
were twelve:
[23] The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and
Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
[24] The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: [25] And the sons of Bilhah,
Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: [26] And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's
handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him
in Padan-aram. [27] And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the
city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. [28] And
the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. [29] And Isaac gave up
the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of
days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Genesis 36
[1] Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. [2] Esau took his
wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and
Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
[3] And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth. [4] And Adah bare to
Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; [5] And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and
Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the
land of Canaan. [6] And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters,
and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all
his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the
country from the face of his brother Jacob. [7] For their riches were more
than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers
could not bear them because of their cattle.
[8] Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. [9] And these are the
generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
[10] These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of
Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau. [11] And the sons of
Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. [12] And Timna was
concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were
the sons of Adah Esau's wife. [13] And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath,
and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
[14] And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter
of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
[15] These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn
son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, [16] Duke Korah,
duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the
land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah. [17] And these are the sons of
Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these
are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of
Bashemath Esau's wife. [18] And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife;
duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of
Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
[19] These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes. [20]
These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and
Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
[21] And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the
children of Seir in the land of Edom. [22] And the children of Lotan were Hori
and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
[23] And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal,
Shepho, and Onam.
[24] And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that
Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his
father.
[25] And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter
of Anah.
[26] And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and
Cheran.
[27] The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan. [28] The
children of Dishan are these: Uz, and Aran. [29] These are the dukes that came
of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
[30] Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of
Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir. [31] And these are the kings that
reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children
of Israel. [32] And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his
city was Dinhabah.
[33] And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
[34] And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
[35] And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the
field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. [36]
And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. [37] And Samlah
died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.
[38] And Saul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
[39] And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead:
and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the
daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. [40] And these are the names of
the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places,
by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
[41] Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, [42] Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke
Mibzar, [43] Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to
their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of
the Edomites.
