Genesis 33 (WEBP)

[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.

Genesis 33:17 succoth means shelters or booths.
Genesis 33:20 El Elohe Israel means “God, the God of Israel” or “The God of Israel is mighty”.

Genesis 33 (BYZ)

[1] αναβλεψας δε ιακωβ ειδεν και ιδου ησαυ ο αδελφος αυτου ερχομενος και τετρακοσιοι ανδρες μετ αυτου και επιδιειλεν ιακωβ τα παιδια επι λειαν και ραχηλ και τας δυο παιδισκας
[2] και εποιησεν τας δυο παιδισκας και τους υιους αυτων εν πρωτοις και λειαν και τα παιδια αυτης οπισω και ραχηλ και ιωσηφ εσχατους
[3] αυτος δε προηλθεν εμπροσθεν αυτων και προσεκυνησεν επι την γην επτακις εως του εγγισαι του αδελφου αυτου
[4] και προσεδραμεν ησαυ εις συναντησιν αυτω και περιλαβων αυτον εφιλησεν και προσεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και εκλαυσαν αμφοτεροι
[5] και αναβλεψας ειδεν τας γυναικας και τα παιδια και ειπεν τι ταυτα σοι εστιν ο δε ειπεν τα παιδια οις ηλεησεν ο θεος τον παιδα σου
[6] και προσηγγισαν αι παιδισκαι και τα τεκνα αυτων και προσεκυνησαν
[7] και προσηγγισεν λεια και τα τεκνα αυτης και προσεκυνησαν και μετα ταυτα προσηγγισεν ραχηλ και ιωσηφ και προσεκυνησαν
[8] και ειπεν τι ταυτα σοι εστιν πασαι αι παρεμβολαι αυται αις απηντηκα ο δε ειπεν ινα ευρη ο παις σου χαριν εναντιον σου κυριε
[9] ειπεν δε ησαυ εστιν μοι πολλα αδελφε εστω σοι τα σα
[10] ειπεν δε ιακωβ ει ευρηκα χαριν εναντιον σου δεξαι τα δωρα δια των εμων χειρων ενεκεν τουτου ειδον το προσωπον σου ως αν τις ιδοι προσωπον θεου και ευδοκησεις με
[11] λαβε τας ευλογιας μου ας ηνεγκα σοι οτι ηλεησεν με ο θεος και εστιν μοι παντα και εβιασατο αυτον και ελαβεν
[12] και ειπεν απαραντες πορευσομεθα επ ευθειαν
[13] ειπεν δε αυτω ο κυριος μου γινωσκει οτι τα παιδια απαλωτερα και τα προβατα και αι βοες λοχευονται επ εμε εαν ουν καταδιωξω αυτους ημεραν μιαν αποθανουνται παντα τα κτηνη
[14] προελθετω ο κυριος μου εμπροσθεν του παιδος εγω δε ενισχυσω εν τη οδω κατα σχολην της πορευσεως της εναντιον μου και κατα ποδα των παιδαριων εως του με ελθειν προς τον κυριον μου εις σηιρ
[15] ειπεν δε ησαυ καταλειψω μετα σου απο του λαου του μετ εμου ο δε ειπεν ινα τι τουτο ικανον οτι ευρον χαριν εναντιον σου κυριε
[16] απεστρεψεν δε ησαυ εν τη ημερα εκεινη εις την οδον αυτου εις σηιρ
[17] και ιακωβ απαιρει εις σκηνας και εποιησεν εαυτω εκει οικιας και τοις κτηνεσιν αυτου εποιησεν σκηνας δια τουτο εκαλεσεν το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου σκηναι
[18] και ηλθεν ιακωβ εις σαλημ πολιν σικιμων η εστιν εν γη χανααν οτε ηλθεν εκ της μεσοποταμιας συριας και παρενεβαλεν κατα προσωπον της πολεως
[19] και εκτησατο την μεριδα του αγρου ου εστησεν εκει την σκηνην αυτου παρα εμμωρ πατρος συχεμ εκατον αμνων
[20] και εστησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον και επεκαλεσατο τον θεον ισραηλ
