11 “Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because
God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” So he urged him, and he took it.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us take our journey; let us go, and
I will go before you.”
13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that
the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with
me. And if the man should drive them
hard one day, all the flock will die.
14 “Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the
livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come
to my lord in Seir.”
15 And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the
people who are with me.”
But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house,
and make booths for his livestock.
Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 Then Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is
in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city.
19 And he bought the parcel of land, where he had pitched
his rent, from the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces
of money.
20 Then he erected an altar there and called it El Elohe
Israel.
