The Brothers Meet

Name Date

Read the Story

Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with four hundred men. He arranged his family, with Rachel and Joseph last. Jacob went ahead of them all and bowed to the ground seven times as he came near his brother.

Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept. Esau asked about the women and children, and Jacob said, The children whom God has graciously given your servant. Each group came and bowed.

Esau asked about all the animals. Jacob said they were a gift to find favor with him. Esau said, I have enough, my brother. Jacob urged him, saying, I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me. Esau accepted the gift. Esau went back to Seir. Jacob traveled to Succoth and then to Shechem, where he bought land and set up an altar called El-Elohe-Israel, meaning God, the God of Israel.
