Israel did all
but wipe out
some tribes
but not all.
Cf. Gn. 31:22
L E A V E S
Amorites dwelt in their stead,
wicked and sinful, and there
is no people today which hath
wrought to the full all their
sins, and they have no longer
length of life on the earth.
12 And Jacob sent away
Laban, and he departed into
Mesopotamia, the land of the
East, and Jacob returned to
the land of Gilead.
Jacob, Reconciled With
Esau, Dwells In Canaan
And Supports His

13 And he passed over the
Jabbok in the ninth month,
on the eleventh thereof.
And on that day Esau, his
brother, came to him, and
he was reconciled to him,
and departed from him unto
the land of Seir, but Jacob
dwelt in tents. 14 And in the
first year of the fifth week in
this jubilee he crossed the
Jordan, and dwelt beyond
the Jordan, and he pastured
his sheep from the sea †of
the heap† unto Bethshan,
and unto Dothan and unto
the †forest† of Akrabbim.
15 And he sent to his father
Isaac of all his substance,
clothing, and food, and meat,
and drink, and milk, and
butter, and cheese, and some

dates of the valley, 16 And
to his mother Rebecca also
four times a year, between the
times of the months, between
ploughing and reaping, and
between autumn and the rain
(season) and between winter
and spring, to the tower of
Abraham. 17 For Isaac had
returned from the Well of the
Oath and gone up to the tower
of his father Abraham, and he
dwelt there apart from his son
Esau. 18 For in the days when
Jacob went to Mesopotamia,
Esau took to himself a wife
Mahalath, the daughter of
Ishmael, and he gathered
together all the flocks of his
father and his wives, and went
up and dwelt on Mount Seir,
and left Isaac his father at the
Well of the Oath alone.
19 And Isaac went up from the
Well of the Oath and dwelt
in the tower of Abraham his
father on the mountains of
Hebron, 20 And thither Jacob
sent all that he did send to his
father and his mother from
time to time, all they needed,
and they blessed Jacob with all
their heart and with all their
soul.

contrast
with Jacob’s
conduct to
his parents,
Esau’s is
unfilial.
