1And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men (ish). And he divided the children among Leah and among Rachel and among the two handmaids.
2And he put the handmaids and their children first, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3And he himself passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell upon his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.
5And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women (ishah) and the children, and said, "Who are these to you?" And he said, "The children whom God has graciously given to your servant."
6And the handmaids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7And Leah also came near, and her children, and they bowed themselves; and afterward Joseph came near, and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8And he said, "What to you is all this camp which I met?" And he said, "To find favor in the eyes of my lord."
9And Esau said, "I have abundance, my brother; let what is yours be yours."
10And Jacob said, "No, I pray, if now I have found favor in your eyes, then you shall take my gift from my hand; for therefore I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
11Take, I pray, my blessing which has been brought to you; for God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have all." And he urged him, and he took it.
12And he said, "Let us journey and let us go, and I will go alongside you."
13And he said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and the herds are nursing upon me; and if they overdrive them one day, then all the flocks will die.
14Let my lord, I pray, pass over before his servant; and I will lead on at my ease, at the foot of the work that is before me and at the foot of the children, until I come to my lord, to Seir."
15And Esau said, "Let me leave, I pray, with you some of the people who are with me." And he said, "Why this? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord."
16And Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built himself a house, and for his livestock he made booths; therefore he called the name of the place Succoth.
18And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and he encamped before the city.
19And he bought the portion of the field where he had spread his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred qesitah.
20And he set up there an altar, and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
