The brothers meet
And Jacob looked up, and there was Esau coming, and four hundred men with him. And he split the children up between Leah and Rachel and the two servant women. And he put the servant women and their children out front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph at the back. And he went on ahead of them and bowed down to the ground seven times, till he came up to his brother. And Esau ran to meet him and threw his arms round him and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the two of them wept. And he looked up and saw the women and the children, and said: Who are these with you? And Jacob said: The children God has graciously given your servant. Then the servant women came up, them and their children, and bowed down. And Leah came up with her children and bowed down. And after them Joseph and Rachel came up and bowed down. And he said: What did you mean by all these groups I met? And Jacob said: They were to win your favour, my lord. And Esau said: I've got plenty, brother. Keep what's yours. And Jacob said: No, please — if you are pleased with me, take my gift from my hand. Seeing your face has been like seeing the face of God, and you have received me kindly. Take the blessing I've brought you. God's been good to me, and I've got enough. And he kept at him till he took it. And he said: Let's get moving, and I'll go along in front of you. And he said to him: My lord knows the children are little, and I've got flocks and herds with young on them. If they're pushed hard for even one day, the whole lot will die on me. So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, and I'll come along quietly, at the pace the stock in front of me and the children can stand, till I get to my lord at Seir. And Esau said: Then let me leave some of my people with you. And Jacob said: What need is there? I only want your goodwill, my lord. So Esau turned back that day on his way to Seir. And Jacob travelled on to Succoth and built himself a house, and made yards for his stock. That's why the place is called Succoth. And Jacob came to Shalem, a town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, on his way from Padanaram, and camped in front of the town. And he bought the piece of ground he'd pitched his tent on off the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money. And he put up an altar there, and called it EleloheIsrael.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and there was Esau coming, and four hundred men with him. And he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two servants. And he put the servants and their children first, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last. And he went over in front of them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, till he came near his brother. And Esau ran to meet him and hugged him and fell on his neck and kissed him. And they wept. And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children. And he said: Who are these with you? And he said: The children God has graciously given your servant. Then the servants came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. And Leah too with her children came near and bowed themselves. And after that Joseph came near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. And he said: What do you mean by all this company I met? And he said: These are to find favour in the sight of my lord. And Esau said: I've got plenty, my brother. Keep what's yours for yourself. And Jacob said: No, please. If I've found favour in your sight now, then take my gift from my hand. Because that's why I've seen your face, like seeing the face of God, and you were pleased with me. Take my blessing that's brought to you, please, because God has dealt graciously with me and because I've got enough. And he pushed him, and he took it. And he said: Let's get going and go, and I'll go in front of you. And he said to him: My lord knows the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me. And if men drive them hard one day, all the flock will die. Let my lord go over in front of his servant, please. And I'll lead on gently, as the cattle that go in front of me and the children are able to walk, till I come to my lord in Seir. And Esau said: Let me leave some of the people with me now. And he said: What for? Let me find favour in the sight of my lord. So Esau went back that day on his way to Seir. And Jacob went to Sukkoth and built himself a house and made shelters for his cattle. That's why the name of the place is called Sukkoth. And Jacob came to Shalem, a town of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram. And he pitched his tent in front of the town. And he bought a piece of a field where he'd spread his tent, from the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of money. And he set up an altar there and called it El Elohe Israel.
And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids. And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord. And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for an hundred pieces of money. And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
