Chapter 33 of Genesis—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, 1Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children [a]among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.
  2. He put the maids and their children [b]in front, and Leah and her children [c]next, and Rachel and Joseph [d]last.
  3. But he himself passed on ahead of them and 2bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
  4. ¶ Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and 3fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
  5. He lifted his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, “[e]Who are these with you?” So he said, “4The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
  6. Then the maids came near [f]with their children, and they bowed down.
  7. Leah likewise came near with her children, and they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed down.
  8. And he said, “What do you mean by 5all this company which I have met?” And he said, “6To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
  9. But Esau said, “7I have plenty, my brother; let what you have be your own.”
  10. Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, [g]for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.
  11. Please take my [h]8gift which has been brought to you, 9because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have [i]plenty.” Thus he urged him and he took it.
  12. ¶ Then [j]Esau said, “Let us take our journey and go, and I will go before you.”
  13. But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are [k]a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die.
  14. Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at 10Seir.”
  15. ¶ Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “[l]What need is there? 11Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
  16. So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
  17. Jacob journeyed to [m]12Succoth, and built for himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth.
  18. ¶ Now Jacob came safely to the city of 13Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from 14Paddan-aram, and camped before the city.
  19. 15He bought the piece of land where he had pitched his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred [n]pieces of money.
  20. Then he erected there an altar and called it [o]El-Elohe-Israel.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
