Genesis 33

Gen Z: Genesis 33

1Jacob looked up and saw Esau rollin' in with 400 homies. He split the kids between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids.

2He put the handmaids and their kiddos up front, Leah and her crew after, and Rachel and Joseph chillin' in the back.

3He went ahead of them and hit the ground seven times, just to flex before his bro.

4Esau sprinted to him, hugged him tight, fell on his neck, and gave him a kiss. They were both in their feels, no cap.

5Jacob looked up and saw the women and kids, and Esau asked, "Who are these peeps with you?" Jacob said, "Just the kids God blessed me with, fam."

6Then the handmaids and their kiddos came up, and they all bowed down, showing respect.

7Leah and her kids rolled up next, bowed down too; then Joseph and Rachel came through, and they bowed as well.

8Esau asked, "What’s up with all this crew I ran into?" Jacob replied, "Just tryna find favor in your sight, bro."

9Esau was like, "I’m good, bro; keep what you got for yourself."

10Jacob was all, "Nah, please take my gift; if I found favor in your eyes, it’s like seeing God’s face, and you’re vibin' with me."

11Yo, take my blessing, fam. God’s been super chill with me, and I got enough. He really pushed him to take it.

12He’s like, “Let’s bounce and I’ll lead the way.”

13He told him, “My dude knows the kids are fragile, and I got young animals too. If we push them too hard, they’ll be done for.”

14“Please, let my dude go ahead of me. I’ll take it slow for the kids and the cattle until I catch up to you.”

15Esau's like, “Let me leave some of my crew with you.” And he replied, “What’s the point? Just let me vibe with you, bro.”

16So that day, Esau headed back to Seir.

17Jacob rolled to Succoth, built a crib, and set up some booths for his cattle. That’s why it’s called Succoth.

18Then Jacob hit up Shalem, a city in Shechem, when he came from Padan–aram; he pitched his tent right by the city.

19He copped a piece of land where he set up his tent from the kids of Hamor, Shechem's dad, for a hundred bucks.

20He built an altar there and named it El–elohe–Israel.

KJV: Genesis 33

1And 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.

2And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

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

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

5And 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.

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

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

8And 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.

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

10And 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.

11Take, 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.

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

13And 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.

14Let 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.

15And 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.

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

17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

18And 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.

19And 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.

20And he erected there an altar, and called it El–elohe–Israel.
