Genesis 33
1 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.
Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
2 And he put the maidservants and children their first and Leah and children her behind and Rachel and Joseph behind.
He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
3 And he he passed on before them and he bowed down [the] ground towards seven times until drew near he to brother his.
But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 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.
Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 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.
When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
6 And they approached the maidservants they and children their and they bowed down.
Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
7 And she approached also Leah and children her and they bowed down and after he approached Joseph and Rachel and they bowed down.
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8 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.
“What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?” asked Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
9 And he said Esau there [belongs] to me much O brother my let it be[long] to you [that] which [belongs] to you.
“I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”
10 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.
But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
11 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].
Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
12 And he said let us set out and let us go and I will go to before you.
Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you.”
13 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.
But Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
14 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.
Please let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a comfortable pace for the livestock and children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
15 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.
“Let me leave some of my people with you,” Esau said. But Jacob replied, “Why do that? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
16 And he returned on the day that Esau to way his Seir towards.
So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir,
17 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.
but Jacob went on to Succoth, where he built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.
18 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.
After Jacob had come from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and he camped just outside the city.
19 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.
And the plot of ground where he pitched his tent, he purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.
20 And he set up there an altar and he called it El Elohe Israel.
There he set up an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
