Bible Reading for January 11

Genesis Chapter 33: Jacob and Esau Meet 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.

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

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.

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].

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.

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 Padanaram; 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 Elelohe-Israel.


Genesis Chapter 34
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Chapter 35
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.

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.

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.

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 Elbethel: because there God
appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an
oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, 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.

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.

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 Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

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.

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:

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 Padanaram.

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 Chapter 36
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.

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.

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.

12 And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz
Amalek: these [were] the sons of Adah Esau's wife.

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.

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.

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.

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 Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.

39 And Baalhanan 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.

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.
