33:1 And Ya'akov lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, Hinnei, Esav came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Le'ah (לאה), and unto Rachel (רחל), and unto the two handmaids.
33:2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Le'ah (לאה) and her children after, and Rachel (רחל) and Yosef hindermost.
33:3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
33:4 And Esav ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
33:5 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 Elohim (אלהים) hath graciously given thy servant.
33:6 (iv) Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
33:7 And Le'ah (לאה) also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Yosef near and Rachel (רחל), and they bowed themselves.
33:8 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 master.
33:9 And Esav said:
I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
33:10 And Ya'akov 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 Elohim (אלהים), and thou wast pleased with me.
33:11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because Elohim (אלהים) hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took [it].
33:12 And he (Esav) said
Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
33:13 And he (Ya'akov) said unto him:
My master 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.
33:14 Let my master, 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 master unto Se'ir.
33:15 And Esav said:
Let me now leave with thee [some] of the folk that [are] with me. And he (Ya'akov) said:
What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my master.
33:16 So Esav returned that day on his way unto Se'ir.
33:17 And Ya'akov journeyed to Sukkot (סכות), and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot (סכות).
33:18 And Ya'akov came to Shalem, a city of Shekhem, which [is] in the eretz Kenaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and pitched his tent before the city.
33:19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of Benai Chamor avi Shekhem, for a hundred pieces of kesitah (money,קשׂיטה ).
33:20 And he erected there an altar, and called it El Elohei Yisrael (אל אלהי ישׂראל).
