[1] Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants. [2] He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear. [3] He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. [4] Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept. [5] He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?”He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” [6] Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves. [7] Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves. [8] Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?”Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.” [9] Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.” [10] Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me. [11] Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it. [12] Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.” [13] Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die. [14] Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.” [15] Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.”He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.” [16] So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir. [17] Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. [18] Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city. [19] He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money. [20] He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.

And he said,H559(QalImpf) The childrenH3206 which GodH430 hath graciously givenH2603(QalPerf) thy servant.H5650 [6] Then the handmaidensH8198 came near,H5066(QalImpf) they and their children,H3206 and they bowed themselves.H7812(HithImpf) [7] And LeahH3812 also with her childrenH3206 came near,H5066(QalImpf) and bowed themselves:H7812(HithImpf) and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066(NiphPerf) and Rachel,H7354 and they bowedH7812(HithImpf) themselves. [8] And he said,H559(QalImpf) What [meanest] thou by all this droveH4264 which I met?H6298(QalPerf) And he said,H559(QalImpf) [These are] to findH4672(QalInf) graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lord.H113 [9] And EsauH6215 said,H559(QalImpf) I haveH3426 enough,H7227 my brother;H251 keep that thou hast unto thyself. [10] And JacobH3290 said,H559(QalImpf) Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672(QalPerf) graceH2580 in thy sight,H5869 then receiveH3947(QalPerf) my presentH4503 at my hand:H3027 for therefore I have seenH7200(QalPerf) thy face,H6440 as though I had seenH7200(QalInf) the faceH6440 of God,H430 and thou wast pleased with me.H7521(QalImpf) [11] Take,H3947(QalImpv) I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935(HophPerf) to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with me,H2603(QalPerf) and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enough.H3605 And he urgedH6484(QalImpf) him, and he tookH3947(QalImpf) [it]. [12] And he said,H559(QalImpf) Let us take our journey,H5265(QalImpf) and let us go,H3212(QalImpf) and I will goH3212(QalImpf) before thee. [13] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, My lordH113 knowethH3045(QalActPtc) that the childrenH3206 [are] tender,H7390 and the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with youngH5763(QalActPtc) [are] with me: and if men should overdriveH1849(QalPerf) them oneH259 day,H3117 all the flockH6629 will die.H4191(QalPerf) [14] Let my lord,H113 I pray thee, pass overH5674(QalImpf) beforeH6440 his servant:H5650 and I will lead onH5095(HithImpf) softly,H328 according asH7272 the cattleH4399 that goeth before meH6440 and the childrenH3206 be able to endure,H7272 until I comeH935(QalImpf) unto my lordH113 unto Seir.H8165 [15] And EsauH6215 said,H559(QalImpf) Let me now leaveH3322(HiphImpf) with thee [some] of the folkH5971 that [are] with me. And he said,H559(QalImpf) WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672(QalImpf) graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lord.H113 [16] So EsauH6215 returnedH7725(QalImpf) that dayH3117 on his wayH1870 unto Seir.H8165 [17] And JacobH3290 journeyedH5265(QalPerf) to Succoth,H5523 and builtH1129(QalImpf) him an house,H1004 and madeH6213(QalPerf) boothsH5521 for his cattle:H4735 therefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121(QalPerf) Succoth.H5523 [18] And JacobH3290 cameH935(QalImpf) to Shalem,H8004 a cityH5892 of Shechem,H7927 which [is] in the landH776 of Canaan,H3667 when he cameH935(QalInf) from Padanaram;H6307 and pitched his tentH2583(QalImpf) beforeH6440 the city.H5892 [19] And he boughtH7069(QalImpf) a parcelH2513 of a field,H7704 where he had spreadH5186(QalPerf) his tent,H168 at the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of Hamor,H2544 Shechem’sH7927 father,H1 for an hundredH3967 pieces of money.H7192 [20] And he erectedH5324(HiphImpf) there an altar,H4196 and called itH7121(QalImpf) Elelohe-Israel.H415
