Génesis 33:14-20

Listen to Génesis 33:14-20
14 Adelántese ahora mi señor a su siervo; y yo avanzaré sin prisa, al paso del ganado que va delante de mí, y al paso de los niños, hasta que llegue a mi señor en Seir.
15 Y Esaú dijo: Permíteme dejarte parte de la gente que está conmigo. Pero él dijo: ¿Para qué? Halle yo gracia ante los ojos de mi señor.
16 Aquel mismo día regresó Esaú por su camino a Seir;
17 y Jacob siguió hasta Sucot , y se edificó una casa, e hizo cobertizos para su ganado; por eso al lugar se le puso el nombre de Sucot.
18 Y Jacob llegó sin novedad a la ciudad de Siquem, que está en la tierra de Canaán, cuando vino de Padán-aram, y acampó frente a la ciudad.
19 Compró la parcela de campo donde había plantado su tienda de mano de los hijos de Hamor, padre de Siquem, por cien monedas,
20 y levantó allí un altar, y lo llamó: El-Elohe-Israel .

Génesis 33:14-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 33

In this chapter we find Esau meeting Jacob in a friendly manner, contrary to his fears and expectation, having set his family in order in case of the worst, Ge 33:1-4; putting questions to Jacob concerning the women and children with him, who make their obeisance to him as Jacob had done before, Ge 33:5-7; and concerning the drove he met, which was a present to him, and which he refused at first to take, but at the urgency of Jacob accepted of it, Ge 33:8-11; proposing to travel with him, unto which Jacob desired to be excused, he, with the women, children, and flocks, not being able to keep pace with him, Ge 33:12-14, and to leave some of his men with him to guard him, which Jacob judged unnecessary, upon which they parted friendly, Ge 33:15,16; and the chapter is concluded with an account of Jacob's journey, first to Succoth, then to Shalem, where he pitched his tent, bought a field and built an altar, Ge 33:17-20.
