Two sons V

and they wept

And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

***

And he said, Appoint me - thy wages, and I will give it.

And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.

For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

*****

And when he came - to himself, - he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

*****

And he passed over - before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

And Esau - ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him:

*

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife:

and they shall be one flesh.

*

  And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

*

and they wept.

And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the work-men and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.

*****

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, - his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
