Day 33 - Genesis : Chapter 33

It is so tragic to see events at Haiti unfolding. Lord, give us intelligence to invent a technology that can predict earthquakes more accurately.

Genesis 33 : Jacob meets Esau

Jacob sees Esau coming and gets frightened. He puts the concubines and their children first, then Leah and her children, and finally Rachel and Joseph at the rear.He goes forward and bows before his brother. But Esau runs to meet him, throws his arms around him, and kisses him. He is very happy to see his brother and has apparently forgotten all the previous things that happened between them. He is very pleased to see Jacob's wives and children. He doesn't take Jacob's gifts but Jacob insists on it.

Esau goes ahead to Edom and Jacob and group continue slowly behind him. Jacob reaches the city of Shechem in Canaan and sets up his camp in a field near the city. He buys land from descendants of Hamor father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of silver.
