Douay Bible - Genesis Chapter 33

Genesis 33:1
And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia, and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids:

Genesis 33:2
And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and rachel and Joseph last.

Genesis 33:3
And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times until his brother came near.

Genesis 33:4
Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept.

Genesis 33:5
And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me thy servant.

Genesis 33:6
Then the handmaids and their children came near, and bowed themselves.

Genesis 33:7
Lia also with her children came near, and bowed down in like manner, and last of all Joseph and Rachel bowed down.

Genesis 33:8
And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favor before my lord.

Genesis 33:9
But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself.

Genesis 33:10
And Jacob said: Do not so I beseech thee, but if I have found favor in thy eyes, receive a little present at my hands: for I have seen thy face, as if I should have seen the countenance of God: be gracious to me,

Genesis 33:11
And take the blessing, which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother’s earnest pressing him,

Genesis 33:12
And said: Let us go on together, and I will accompany thee in thy journey.

Genesis 33:13
And Jacob said: My lord, thou knowest that I have with me tender children, and sheep, and kine with young: which if I should cause to be overdriven, in one day all the flocks will die.

Genesis 33:14
May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir.

Genesis 33:15
Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favor, my lord, in thy sight.

Genesis 33:16
So Esau returned, that day, the way that he came, to Seir.

Genesis 33:17
And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents.

Genesis 33:18
And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town:

Genesis 33:19
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem for a hundred lambs.

Genesis 33:20
And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
