01:032:031 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he
           halted upon his thigh.

01:032:032 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.

01:033:001 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.

01:033:002 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah
           and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.

01:033:003 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
           ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

01:033:004 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his
           neck, and kissed him:  and they wept.

01:033:005 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.

01:033:006 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and
           they bowed themselves.

01:033:007 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed
           themselves:  and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they
           bowed themselves.

01:033:008 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.

01:033:009 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast
           unto thyself.

01:033:010 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.

01:033:011 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.

01:033:012 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
           will go before thee.

01:033:013 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.

01:033:014 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.
