弟兄重逢
33 雅各远远看见以扫带着四百人迎面而来，便把孩子们分别交给利亚、拉结和两个婢女， 2 又吩咐两个婢女和她们的孩子走在前面，利亚和她的孩子跟在后面，拉结和约瑟走在最后。 3 他自己则走在他们前面，接连俯伏下拜七次，直到他哥哥跟前。
4 以扫见到雅各，就跑上去拥抱他，亲吻他，二人抱头痛哭。 5 以扫看见跟在雅各后面的妇女和孩子，就问：“这些和你同行的是谁？”雅各说：“这些孩子是上帝施恩赐给你仆人的。” 6 雅各的两个婢女和她们的孩子上前下拜， 7 利亚也和她的孩子上前下拜，最后约瑟和拉结也上前向以扫下拜。
8 以扫说：“我在路上遇见的那一群群牲畜是怎么回事？”雅各回答说：“我带来这些是要得到我主的恩待。” 9 以扫说：“弟弟，我已经有很多了，你自己留着吧！” 10 雅各说：“不，你若赏脸，就请收下！我见了你的面就像见了上帝的面，因为你这样善侍我。 11 请你收下我的礼物吧，因为上帝恩待了我，使我富足。”雅各再三恳求，以扫才收下。
12 以扫说：“我们走吧！我陪你们走。” 13 雅各却说：“我主知道孩子们还小，而且，我还要照料正在哺乳的牛羊，如果整天赶路，牛羊会累死。 14 倒不如请我主先走，我迁就牲畜和孩子慢慢走，我在西珥与我主会合。”
15 以扫说：“让我给你留几个帮手吧。”雅各说：“不用了，能得到我主的恩待就够了。” 16 于是，以扫在当天先回西珥去了， 17 雅各却去了疏割，在那里为自己建造房屋，为牲畜搭起棚子。因此那地方叫疏割[a]。
18 这样，雅各从巴旦·亚兰平安地回到迦南的示剑城，在城外搭营居住。 19 他搭营居住的这块地是他用一百块银子向示剑的父亲哈抹的子孙买的。 20 雅各在那里筑了一座坛，称之为伊利·伊罗伊·以色列[b]。

雅各和以扫重逢
33 雅各举目观看，见以扫带着四百人来了；他就把孩子分开三队，交给利亚、拉结和两个婢女。 2 他叫两个婢女和她们的孩子走在前头，利亚和她的孩子跟着，拉结和约瑟走在最后。 3 他自己却走在他们前面，七次俯伏在地，直到走近他哥哥跟前。 4 以扫跑来迎接他，拥抱他，伏在他颈项上，与他亲吻；两个人都哭了。 5 以扫举目观看，看见妇人和孩子，就问：“这些与你同来的人是谁？”雅各回答：“是 神赐给你仆人的孩子。” 6 于是，两个婢女和她们的孩子上前下拜。 7 利亚和她的孩子也上前下拜，随后，约瑟和拉结也上前下拜。 8 以扫又问：“我遇见的这一群牲畜，是甚么意思呢？”雅各回答：“是要讨我主喜悦的。” 9 以扫说：“弟弟啊，我已经很富有了，你的仍归你吧。” 10 雅各说：“请不要这样，我若得你的喜悦，就求你从我手里收下这些礼物吧；因为我看见了你的面，就好象见了 神的面；你实在恩待了我。 11 请你收下我带来给你的礼物，因为 神施恩给我，我甚么都有了。”雅各再三恳求他，他才收下了。 12 以扫说：“我们起程前行吧，我和你一起走。” 13 雅各对他说：“我主知道孩子们还年幼娇嫩；牛羊也正在乳养的时候，需要我的照顾；如果要催赶牠们走一天的路，恐怕所有牲畜都要死了。 14 请我主在仆人前头先行；我要照着在我面前群畜和孩子们的速度，慢慢前行，直走到西珥我主那里去。” 15 以扫说：“让我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里吧。”雅各说：“为甚么要这样呢？只要我得我主的喜悦就是了。” 16 于是，以扫在那一天回西珥去了。 17 雅各却起程到疏割去，在那里为自己建造了一座房子，又为牲畜搭了些草棚，因此给那地方起名叫疏割。
雅各移居示剑
18 雅各从巴旦．亚兰回来的时候，平平安安地到了迦南地的示剑城，在城的对面支搭了帐棚。 19 他支搭帐棚的那块地，是他用一百块银子向示剑的父亲哈抹的子孙买来的。 20 在那里雅各建了一座坛，给它起名叫伊利．伊罗伊．以色列。

Jacob Meets Esau
33 Jacob looked up and there was Esau, coming with his four hundred men;(A) so he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two female servants.(B) 2 He put the female servants and their children(C) in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph(D) in the rear. 3 He himself went on ahead and bowed down to the ground(E) seven times(F) as he approached his brother.
4 But Esau(G) ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him.(H) And they wept.(I) 5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. “Who are these with you?” he asked.
Jacob answered, “They are the children God has graciously given your servant.(J)”
6 Then the female servants and their children(K) approached and bowed down.(L) 7 Next, Leah and her children(M) came and bowed down.(N) Last of all came Joseph and Rachel,(O) and they too bowed down.
8 Esau asked, “What’s the meaning of all these flocks and herds I met?”(P)
“To find favor in your eyes, my lord,”(Q) he said.
9 But Esau said, “I already have plenty,(R) my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”
10 “No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have found favor in your eyes,(S) accept this gift(T) from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God,(U) now that you have received me favorably.(V) 11 Please accept the present(W) that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me(X) and I have all I need.”(Y) And because Jacob insisted,(Z) Esau accepted it.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us be on our way; I’ll accompany you.”
13 But Jacob said to him, “My lord(AA) knows that the children are tender and that I must care for the ewes and cows that are nursing their young.(AB) If they are driven hard just one day, all the animals will die. 14 So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, while I move along slowly at the pace of the flocks and herds(AC) before me and the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.(AD)”
15 Esau said, “Then let me leave some of my men with you.”
“But why do that?” Jacob asked. “Just let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.”(AE)
16 So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir.(AF) 17 Jacob, however, went to Sukkoth,(AG) where he built a place for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called Sukkoth.[a]
18 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram,[b](AH) he arrived safely at the city of Shechem(AI) in Canaan and camped within sight of the city. 19 For a hundred pieces of silver,[c] he bought from the sons of Hamor,(AJ) the father of Shechem,(AK) the plot of ground(AL) where he pitched his tent.(AM) 20 There he set up an altar(AN) and called it El Elohe Israel.[d]

Chapter 33
Reconciliation of the Two Brothers.[a] 1 Jacob looked up and saw Esau arrive, accompanied by four hundred men. He therefore divided up his sons among Leah, Rachel, and the two slaves. 2 He had the slaves and their children lead the way, and in back of them Leah and her sons, and then Rachel and Joseph. 3 He walked ahead of them and bowed to the ground seven times as he was approaching his brother.
4 But Esau ran up to him, embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him and wept. 5 Raising his eyes, he saw the women and the children and said, “To whom do these belong?”
He answered, “They are my sons whom God has graciously given to his servant.”
6 The slaves and their children came forward and bowed down. 7 Then Leah and her children came forward and bowed down. Finally, Rachel and Joseph came forward and bowed down.
8 Esau asked again, “What is all this caravan that I have come across?”
He answered, “So that I might find favor in your sight, my lord.”
9 Esau said, “I have enough of my own possessions, brother; let these things be for you.”
10 But Jacob said, “No, if I have found favor in your sight, accept this gift from my hands. For it is for this that I have come into your presence as one would come into the presence of God, and you have received me favorably. 11 Accept this blessing that I give you, for God has been generous to me and I have enough.” This is the way he insisted, and Esau accepted.
12 Then Esau said, “Let us break camp and set out; I will travel in front of you.”
13 But Jacob answered, “My lord knows that the children are delicate and that my flocks and herds are burdened with young ones. If they were to be pushed even one day, the entire flock would surely die. 14 Let my lord pass on ahead of your servant, while I stay here going slowly, at the pace of the animals that will go ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I eventually reach my lord in Seir.”
15 Esau said, “I could at least leave a part of my people with you!”
Jacob answered, “But why? Let me only find favor in your sight, my lord!”
16 Thus, that same day, Esau departed for Seir. 17 Jacob instead traveled to Succoth where he built a house for himself and made huts for his flock. This is why he called the place Succoth.
18 When Jacob returned from Paddan-aram, he arrived in peace at the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, and he camped in front of the city. 19 He bought the portion of land where he was camped for one hundred pieces of silver from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father. 20 There he built an altar and called it, El-Elohe-Israel, which means El, the God of Israel.
Footnotes
- Genesis 33:1 Later on Jacob goes to the town of Shechem, in the center of Palestine, where he buys a plot of land and there sets up an altar to God as Lord of his own clan. According to tradition, this is the second property of the Patriarchs in the Promised Land; it will become an important sanctuary in the life of Israel (see Jos 8:30-35; 22:1-27; 1 Ki 12:1, 25; etc.).
