1Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.1וַיִּשָּׂ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙ וְהִנֵּ֣ה עֵשָׂ֣ו בָּ֔א וְעִמּ֕וֹ אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וַיַּ֣חַץ אֶת־ הַיְלָדִ֗ים עַל־ לֵאָה֙ וְעַל־ רָחֵ֔ל וְעַ֖ל שְׁתֵּ֥י הַשְּׁפָחֽוֹת׃
2And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.2וַיָּ֧שֶׂם אֶת־ הַשְּׁפָח֛וֹת וְאֶת־ יַלְדֵיהֶ֖ן רִֽאשֹׁנָ֑ה וְאֶת־ לֵאָ֤ה וִֽילָדֶ֙יהָ֙ אַחֲרֹנִ֔ים וְאֶת־ רָחֵ֥ל וְאֶת־ יוֹסֵ֖ף אַחֲרֹנִֽים׃
3Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.3וְה֖וּא עָבַ֣ר לִפְנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּשְׁתַּ֤חוּ אַ֙רְצָה֙ שֶׁ֣בַע פְּעָמִ֔ים עַד־ גִּשְׁתּ֖וֹ עַד־ אָחִֽיו׃
4But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.4וַיָּ֨רָץ עֵשָׂ֤ו לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ וַֽיְחַבְּקֵ֔הוּ וַיִּפֹּ֥ל עַל־ צַוָּארָ֖ו‪‬ וַׄיִּׄשָּׁׄקֵ֑ׄהׄוּׄ‪‬ וַיִּבְכּֽוּ׃
5And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?” So he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”5וַיִּשָּׂ֣א אֶת־ עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּ֤רְא אֶת־ הַנָּשִׁים֙ וְאֶת־ הַיְלָדִ֔ים וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־ אֵ֣לֶּה לָּ֑ךְ וַיֹּאמַ֕ר הַיְלָדִ֕ים אֲשֶׁר־ חָנַ֥ן אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת־ עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
6Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down.6וַתִּגַּ֧שְׁןָ הַשְּׁפָח֛וֹת הֵ֥נָּה וְיַלְדֵיהֶ֖ן וַתִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶֽיןָ׃
7And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.7וַתִּגַּ֧שׁ גַּם־ לֵאָ֛ה וִילָדֶ֖יהָ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֑וּ וְאַחַ֗ר נִגַּ֥שׁ יוֹסֵ֛ף וְרָחֵ֖ל וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֽוּ׃
8Then Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” And he said, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.”8וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מִ֥י לְךָ֛ כָּל־ הַמַּחֲנֶ֥ה הַזֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּגָ֑שְׁתִּי וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לִמְצֹא־ חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי׃
9But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”9וַיֹּ֥אמֶר עֵשָׂ֖ו יֶשׁ־ לִ֣י רָ֑ב אָחִ֕י יְהִ֥י לְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁר־ לָֽךְ׃
10And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.10וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֗ב אַל־ נָא֙ אִם־ נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ וְלָקַחְתָּ֥ מִנְחָתִ֖י מִיָּדִ֑י כִּ֣י עַל־ כֵּ֞ן רָאִ֣יתִי פָנֶ֗יךָ כִּרְאֹ֛ת פְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַתִּרְצֵֽנִי׃
11Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” So he urged him, and he took it.11קַח־ נָ֤א אֶת־ בִּרְכָתִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֻבָ֣את לָ֔ךְ כִּֽי־ חַנַּ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְכִ֣י יֶשׁ־ לִי־ כֹ֑ל וַיִּפְצַר־ בּ֖וֹ וַיִּקָּֽח׃
12Then Esau said, “Let us take our journey; let us go, and I will go before you.”12וַיֹּ֖אמֶר נִסְעָ֣ה וְנֵלֵ֑כָה וְאֵלְכָ֖ה לְנֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃
13But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.13וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֗יו אֲדֹנִ֤י יֹדֵ֙עַ֙ כִּֽי־ הַיְלָדִ֣ים רַכִּ֔ים וְהַצֹּ֥אן וְהַבָּקָ֖ר עָל֣וֹת עָלָ֑י וּדְפָקוּם֙ י֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד וָמֵ֖תוּ כָּל־ הַצֹּֽאן׃
14Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir.”14יַעֲבָר־ נָ֥א אֲדֹנִ֖י לִפְנֵ֣י עַבְדּ֑וֹ וַאֲנִ֞י אֶֽתְנָהֲלָ֣ה לְאִטִּ֗י לְרֶ֨גֶל הַמְּלָאכָ֤ה אֲשֶׁר־ לְפָנַי֙ וּלְרֶ֣גֶל הַיְלָדִ֔ים עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁר־ אָבֹ֥א אֶל־ אֲדֹנִ֖י שֵׂעִֽירָה׃
15And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”15וַיֹּ֣אמֶר עֵשָׂ֔ו אַצִּֽיגָה־ נָּ֣א עִמְּךָ֔ מִן־ הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתִּ֑י וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ לָ֣מָּה זֶּ֔ה אֶמְצָא־ חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי׃
16So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.16וַיָּשָׁב֩ בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֥וּא עֵשָׂ֛ו לְדַרְכּ֖וֹ שֵׂעִֽירָה׃
17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.17וְיַעֲקֹב֙ נָסַ֣ע סֻכֹּ֔תָה וַיִּ֥בֶן ל֖וֹ בָּ֑יִת וּלְמִקְנֵ֙הוּ֙ עָשָׂ֣ה סֻכֹּ֔ת עַל־ כֵּ֛ן קָרָ֥א שֵׁם־ הַמָּק֖וֹם סֻכּֽוֹת׃ ס
18Then Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city.18וַיָּבֹא֩ יַעֲקֹ֨ב שָׁלֵ֜ם עִ֣יר שְׁכֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן בְּבֹא֖וֹ מִפַּדַּ֣ן אֲרָ֑ם וַיִּ֖חַן אֶת־ פְּנֵ֥י הָעִֽיר׃
19And he bought the parcel of land, where he had pitched his tent, from the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.19וַיִּ֜קֶן אֶת־ חֶלְקַ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָֽטָה־ שָׁם֙ אָהֳל֔וֹ מִיַּ֥ד בְּנֵֽי־ חֲמ֖וֹר אֲבִ֣י שְׁכֶ֑ם בְּמֵאָ֖ה קְשִׂיטָֽה׃
20Then he erected an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.20וַיַּצֶּב־ שָׁ֖ם מִזְבֵּ֑חַ וַיִּ֨קְרָא־ ל֔וֹ אֵ֖ל אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס
