And Esau said:
let me yet leave some of my folk with thee. And he said: what
needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. So Esau
went his way again that same day unto Seir. And Iacob took his
journey toward Sucoth, and built him an house, and made booths for
his cattle: whereof the name of the place is called Sucoth. And
Iacob went to Salem {came peaceably in} to the city of Sichem in
the land of Canaan, after that he was come from Mesopotamia, and
pitched before the city, and bought a parcel of ground where he
pitched his tent, of the children of Hemor Sichem's father, for an
hundred lambs; And he made there an altar, and there called upon
the mighty God of Israel.
Chapter .xxxiiij.
Dina the daughter of Lea which she bare unto Iacob, went out to
see the daughters of the land. And Sichem the son of Hemor the
Hevite lord of the country, saw her, and took her, and lay with
her, and forced her: and his heart lay unto Dina the daughter of
Iacob. And he loved the damsel and spake kindly unto her, and
spake unto his father Hemor saying, get me this maiden unto my
wife. And Iacob heard that he had defiled Dina his daughter, but
his sons were with the cattle in the field, and therefore he held
his peace, until they were come.
