Löydetty 444 Tulokset: jacob's dream
When Esau looked about, he saw the women and children. "Who are these with you?" he asked. Jacob answered, "They are the children whom God has graciously bestowed on your servant." (Genesis 33, 5)
Then Esau asked, "What did you intend with all those droves that I encountered?" Jacob answered, "It was to gain my lord's favor." (Genesis 33, 8)
"No, I beg you!" said Jacob. "If you will do me the favor, please accept this gift from me, since to come into your presence is for me like coming into the presence of God, now that you have received me so kindly. (Genesis 33, 10)
But Jacob replied: "As my lord can see, the children are frail. Besides, I am encumbered with the flocks and herds, which now have sucklings; if overdriven for a single day, the whole flock will die. (Genesis 33, 13)
Esau replied, "Let me at least put at your disposal some of the men who are with me." But Jacob said, "For what reason? Please indulge me in this, my lord." (Genesis 33, 15)
Jacob journeyed to Succoth. There he built a home for himself and made booths for his livestock. That is why the place was called Succoth. (Genesis 33, 17)
Having thus come from Paddan-aram, Jacob arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and he encamped in sight of the city. (Genesis 33, 18)
Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit some of the women of the land. (Genesis 34, 1)
Since he was strongly attracted to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, indeed was really in love with the girl, he endeavored to win her affection. (Genesis 34, 3)
Meanwhile, Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah; but since his sons were out in the fields with his livestock, he held his peace until they came home. (Genesis 34, 5)
Now Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out to discuss the matter with Jacob, (Genesis 34, 6)
just as Jacob's sons were coming in from the fields. When they heard the news, the men were shocked and seethed with indignation. What Shechem had done was an outrage in Israel; such a thing could not be tolerated. (Genesis 34, 7)
