1 Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.
And he lifted up Jacob eyes his and he saw and there! Esau [was] coming and [were] with him four hundred man and he divided the children with Leah and with Rachel and with [the] two the maidservants.
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph at the back.
And he put the maidservants and children their first and Leah and children her behind and Rachel and Joseph behind.
3 And he himself, going before them, went down on his face to the earth seven times till he came near his brother.
And he he passed on before them and he bowed down [the] ground towards seven times until drew near he to brother his.
4 Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.
And he ran Esau to meet him and he embraced him and he fell on (neck his *Q(k)*) and he kissed him and they wept.
5 Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to your servant.
And he lifted up eyes his and he saw the women and the children and he said who? [are] these to you and he said the children whom he has shown favor to God servant your.
6 Then the servants and their children came near, and went down on their faces.
And they approached the maidservants they and children their and they bowed down.
7 And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.
And she approached also Leah and children her and they bowed down and after he approached Joseph and Rachel and they bowed down.
8 And he said, What were all those herds which I saw on the way? And Jacob said, They were an offering so that I might have grace in my lord's eyes.
And he said who? to you [is] all the camp this which I have met and he said to find favor in [the] eyes of lord my.
9 But Esau said, I have enough; keep what is yours, my brother, for yourself.
And he said Esau there [belongs] to me much O brother my let it be[long] to you [that] which [belongs] to you.
10 And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been pleased with me.
And he said Jacob may not [it be] please if please I have found favor in view your and you will accept gift my from hand my for since I have seen face your like seeing [the] face of God and you have accepted favorably me.
11 Take my offering then, with my blessing; for God has been very good to me and I have enough: so at his strong request, he took it.
Take please blessing my which it was brought to you for he has shown favor to me God and that there [belongs] to me everything and he urged him and he took [it].
12 And he said, Let us go on our journey together, and I will go in front.
And he said let us set out and let us go and I will go to before you.
13 But Jacob said, My lord may see that the children are only small, and there are young ones in my flocks and herds: one day's over-driving will be the destruction of all the flock.
And he said to him lord my [is] knowing that the children [are] weak and the sheep and the cattle [are] nursing with me and people will drive hard them a day one and they will die all the flock.
14 Do you, my lord, go on before your servant; I will come on slowly, at the rate at which the cattle and the children are able to go, till I come to my lord at Seir.
Let him pass on please lord my before servant his and I (I will journey on *LBH(a)*) to gentleness my to [the] foot of the property which [is] before me and to [the] foot of the children until that I will come to lord my Seir towards.
15 And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?
And he said Esau let me place please with you some of the people which [is] with me and he said why? this let me find favor in [the] eyes of lord my.
16 So Esau, turning back that day, went on his way to Seir.
And he returned on the day that Esau to way his Seir towards.
17 And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named Succoth.
And Jacob he set out Succoth towards and he built for himself a house and for livestock his he made shelters there-fore he called [the] name of the place Succoth.
18 So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.
And he came Jacob safe [the] city of Shechem which [is] in [the] land of Canaan when came he from Paddan Aram and he camped with [the] face of the city.
19 And for a hundred bits of money he got from the children of Hamor, the builder of Shechem, the field in which he had put up his tents.
And he bought [the] portion of the field where he had pitched there tent his from [the] hand of [the] sons of Hamor [the] father of Shechem for a hundred piece[s] of money.
20 And there he put up an altar, naming it El, the God of Israel.
And he set up there an altar and he called it El Elohe Israel.
