Genesis 32


Jacob gets ready to see Esau again
 

A group of angels met Jacob.  They encouraged Jacob on his journey.  Jacob named the place where he saw the angels "Mahanaim".  This means "double camp".  Jacob referred to his camp and the camp of God.
[1] And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
[2] And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.


Jacob sent some of his men to meet Esau.  He wanted them to tell Esau that he had been at Laban's home for 20 years and owned many oxen, donkey, and sheep.
[3] And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
[4 ] And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
[5] And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

The men went and told Esau.  Then they came back to Jacob.  They told Jacob that Esau was coming to meet him. Esau was bringing 400 men with him.
[6] And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.


Jacob was afraid of Esau, so he divided his group of people and animals in half.  He decided that if Esau attacked one half, the other half could escape.
[7] Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
[8] And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

Jacob prayed to God.  He asked God to save him from Esau.  He told God that he was afraid of Esau and worried about his wives and his children.  He prayed for their safety.
[9 ] And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
[10] I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
[11] Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
[12] And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
 

Jacob took 550 of his animals and sent his servants to take the animals to Esau.  Jacob hoped his gift would make Esau decide not to attack them.
[13] And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
[14] Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
[15] Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
[16 ] And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
[17] And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
[18] Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
[19 ] And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
[20 ] And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
[21] So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.

Jacob wrestles with God

Jacob's family, servants, and animals went across the stream called Jabbok.  Jacob was the only one left on the other side. He was worried about meeting Esau.
[22 ] And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
[23] And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
 

Picture from Crossmap Clip Art

"A man" wrestled with Jacob all night. 
[24] And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

Jacob was winning, then "the man" touched the socket of Jacob's hip.  Jacob's hip came out of the socket.
[25 ] And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.




Jacob and "the man" wrestled all night.  "The man" told Jacob to let him go.  Jacob said he would let him go if he blessed him.
[26] And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.


"The man" said that Jacob's new name would be Israel.  Israel means "he struggles with God".
[27] And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
[28 ] And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.


Jacob asked for the "man's" name.  "The man" asked Jacob why he was asking his name.  Then "the man" blessed Jacob.
[29 ] And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.


Jacob named the place Peniel.  Peniel means "I have seen God face to face".  Jacob saw God, and he did not die. 
[30] And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.


From then on, Jacob limped when he walked.
[31] And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.


Because of what happened to Jacob's hip, the children of Israel did not eat the same part of animals.
[32 ] Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
 

Genesis 33
 

"The Reconciliation of Jacob and Esau", 1624 Sir Peter Paul Rubens National Galleries of Scotland

Jacob meets Esau again

Jacob saw Esau coming, so he divided his family.  He put Rachel and Joseph in the back.  Jacob went ahead of them, and he bowed down 7 times while he walked nearer to his brother.
[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.


Esau ran to meet Jacob. He hugged him, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
[4] And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.




Jacob introduced Esau to his wives, servants, and children.
[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.


Esau didn't want to accept the 550 animals that Jacob sent him.  He said he had enough and wanted Jacob to keep the gift.  But Jacob wanted Esau to have them because God had blessed him with so much.  Esau then accepted Jacob's gift.
[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.

Esau was ready to continue the trip to Canaan.  Jacob felt that his group needed to travel slower than Esau's group. He told Esau to go ahead.  Esau offered to leave some of his servants there with Jacob, but Jacob didn't feel that he needed them.  So, Esau went on to his home.
[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.

Jacob stopped first in Succoth, then went on to Shechem.  He bought some land there for him and his family to live on.  He built an altar there and named it "El Elohe Israel" which means "God, the God of Israel".
[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


Jacob's daughter, Dinah

Jacob's daughter, Dinah, visited the city that was nearby.  The prince of this city was Hamor, and his son was Shechem.  Shechem saw Dinah and raped her.  He then asked his father to help him marry her because he loved her.
[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.

Jacob heard about what happened to Dinah. He didn't say anything and waited for his sons to come back from working in the field.
[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.


Shechem's father, Hamor, came to discuss the situation with Jacob.  Jacob's sons returned from the fields.  Hamor told Jacob and his sons that Shechem wanted to marry Dinah.
[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.


Hamor wanted his people and Jacob's people to live together.  He wanted them to marry people from the other's group.
[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.


Shechem said he would do whatever they asked if they would let him marry Dinah.
[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.


Jacob's sons told Shechem that he could marry Dinah if he and all other males in  his city would be circumcised (cutting away the foreskin on the male organ).
[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.


Shechem and his father agreed to the deal.
[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.


Shechem and Hamor spoke to the people of their city.  They told their people that if all of the men were circumcised, they would be able to share Jacob's wealth.
[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.


The men agreed and all of the males of the city were circumcised.  On the third day after the surgery, while the men were recovering from their surgeries, Simeon and Levi (two of Jacob's sons) attacked them.  They killed all of the males, Shechem, and Hamor.  They took Dinah out of Shechem's house.  They took everything in the city--sheep, oxen, donkeys, food, the women, and the children.
[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.

Jacob was very upset with Simeon and Levi.  He said that now the people of Canaan would hate them.  He was worried that the Canaanites would kill them.  But Simeon and Levi said they did this as revenge for Shechem raping Dinah.
[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


Jacob travels to Bethel

God spoke to Jacob and told him to go to Bethel to live.  He told him to make an altar there (a place to worship God).  Jacob told everyone in his group to change their clothes, clean up, and get rid of any idols they had.
[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.


His people brought Jacob their idols and their earrings. Jacob hid them under a tree.
[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.


Jacob and his group traveled to Bethel.  The people who lived in the areas they traveled through did not attack them.  The people were afraid to attack them because they knew God was with them.
[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.


Jacob arrived in Bethel and built an altar there.  He named it El Bethel.
[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.


Jacob's mother, Rebekah, had a nurse named Deborah.  She died and was buried near Bethel.
[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.


God appeared to Jacob again.  God told him again that his new name was Israel.  God told him again that He was God Almighty.  He promised Jacob that his descendants would be great and some would be kings.  He told him again that He promised to give him and his descendants the land of Canaan.
[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.


God left, and Jacob set a rock on the place where God had been.  He named the place Bethel.
[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.

The death of Rachel


Rachel was having another baby.  She had trouble, and Rachel died when the baby was born.  Before she died, the midwife who was helping Rachel told her she was having a boy.  Rachel named the baby Ben-Oni, which means "son of my sorrow".  Later, Jacob changed his name to Benjamin.  The name Benjamin means "son of my right hand".
[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.


Rachel was buried near Bethlehem.  Jacob set a pillar (tall stone) on her grave.
[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.


Israel (Jacob) continued his journey.  Before they arrived, Jacob's son Reuben had sexual relations with Bilhah.  Bilhah was Rachel's maid.  Bilhah was the mother of Jacob's sons, Dan and Naphtali.
[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:
 

This is the list of Jacob's sons:
(Mother:  Leah)   Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun
(Mother: Rachel)     Joseph, Benjamin
(Mother: Bilhah)     Dan, Naphtali
(Mother:  Zilpah)    Gad, Asher

[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.


Jacob visited his father, Isaac.  Isaac died at age 180.  Jacob and Esau buried Isaac
[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


Esau's family


Esau's wives are listed. Esau was also called Edom. Esau had 5 sons.
[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.


Esau and Jacob both had many animals.  The animals needed to eat grass. The land was getting too crowded, and there wasn't enough grass.  So Esau decided to move to Mount Seir.  Jacob stayed in Canaan because God had promised this land to Jacob and his descendants.
[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.


Esau's grandchildren are listed.  
[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.

[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.


Esau's family was divided into sections, with chiefs (dukes) over the sections.
[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.


When Esau went to Mt. Seir, there were people already living there.  One was a Horite named Seir.  Seir's sons and daughters are listed here.
[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.

There were kings in Edom before there were kings in Israel.  These kings are listed here.
[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.


More of Esau's chiefs are listed.
[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.
