[1]And JacobH3290 lifted upH5375 H8799his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200 , H8799and, behold, EsauH6215 cameH935 , H8802and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 H8799the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaidsH8198.
[2]And he putH7760 H8799the handmaidsH8198 and their childrenH3206 foremostH7223, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 afterH314, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindermostH314.
[3]And he passed overH5674 H8804before themH6440, and bowed himselfH7812 H8691to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, until he came nearH5066 H8800to his brotherH251.
[4]And EsauH6215 ranH7323 H8799to meet himH7125 , H8800and embracedH2263 H8762him, and fellH5307 H8799on his neckH6677, and kissed himH5401 : H8799and they weptH1058.[H8799]
[5]And he lifted upH5375 H8799his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 H8799the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559 , H8799Who are thoseH428 with thee? And he saidH559 , H8799The childrenH3206 which GodH430 hath graciously givenH2603 H8804thy servantH5650.
[6]Then the handmaidensH8198 came nearH5066 , H8799they and their childrenH3206, and they bowed themselvesH7812.[H8691]
[7]And LeahH3812 also with her childrenH3206 came nearH5066 , H8799and bowed themselvesH7812 : H8691and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066 H8738and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselvesH8691.
[8]And he saidH559 , H8799What meanest thou by all this droveH4264 which I metH6298 ? H8804And he saidH559 , H8799These are to findH4672 H8800graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.
[9]And EsauH6215 saidH559 , H8799I haveH3426 enoughH7227, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyselfH251.
[10]And JacobH3290 saidH559 , H8799Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 H8804graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 H8804my presentH4503 at my handH3027: for therefore I have seenH7200 H8804thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 H8800the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with meH7521.[H8799]
[11]TakeH3947 , H8798I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935 H8717to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with meH2603 , H8804and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enoughH3605. And he urgedH6484 H8799him, and he tookH3947 itH8799.
[12]And he saidH559 , H8799Let us take our journeyH5265 , H8799and let us goH3212 , H8799and I will goH3212 before theeH8799.
[13]And he saidH559 H8799unto him, My lordH113 knowethH3045 H8802that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with youngH5763 H8802are with me: and if men should overdriveH1849 H8804them oneH259 dayH3117, all the flockH6629 will dieH4191.[H8804]
[14]Let my lordH113, I pray thee, pass overH5674 H8799beforeH6440 his servantH5650: and I will lead onH5095 H8691softlyH328, according asH7272 the cattleH4399 that goeth before meH6440 and the childrenH3206 be able to endureH7272, until I comeH935 H8799unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165.
[15]And EsauH6215 saidH559 , H8799Let me now leaveH3322 H8686with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559 , H8799WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 H8799graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.
[16]So EsauH6215 returnedH7725 H8799that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 unto SeirH8165.
[17]And JacobH3290 journeyedH5265 H8804to SuccothH5523, and builtH1129 H8799him an houseH1004, and madeH6213 H8804boothsH5521 for his cattleH4735: therefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 H8804SuccothH5523.
[18]And JacobH3290 cameH935 H8799to ShalemH8004, a cityH5892 of ShechemH7927, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, when he cameH935 H8800from PadanaramH6307; and pitched his tentH2583 H8799beforeH6440 the cityH5892.
[19]And he boughtH7069 H8799a parcelH2513 of a fieldH7704, where he had spreadH5186 H8804his tentH168, at the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of HamorH2544, Shechem'sH7927 fatherH1, for an hundredH3967 pieces of moneyH7192.
