弟兄相見
33 雅各舉目觀看,見以掃來了,後頭跟著四百人,他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結和兩個使女, 2 並且叫兩個使女和她們的孩子在前頭,利亞和她的孩子在後頭,拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。 3 他自己在他們前頭過去,一連七次俯伏在地,才就近他哥哥。 4 以掃跑來迎接他,將他抱住,又摟著他的頸項與他親嘴,兩個人就哭了。 5 以掃舉目看見婦人孩子,就說:「這些和你同行的是誰呢?」雅各說:「這些孩子是神施恩給你的僕人的。」 6 於是兩個使女和她們的孩子前來下拜, 7 利亞和她的孩子也前來下拜,隨後約瑟和拉結也前來下拜。 8 以掃說:「我所遇見的這些群畜是什麼意思呢?」雅各說:「是要在我主面前蒙恩的。」 9 以掃說:「兄弟啊,我的已經夠了,你的仍歸你吧。」 10 雅各說:「不然,我若在你眼前蒙恩,就求你從我手裡收下這禮物。因為我見了你的面,如同見了神的面,並且你容納了我。 11 求你收下我帶來給你的禮物,因為神恩待我,使我充足。」雅各再三地求他,他才收下了。 12 以掃說:「我們可以起身前往,我在你前頭走。」 13 雅各對他說:「我主知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩,牛羊也正在乳養的時候,若是催趕一天,群畜都必死了。 14 求我主在僕人前頭走,我要量著在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行,直走到西珥我主那裡。」 15 以掃說:「容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裡。」雅各說:「何必呢?只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。」 16 於是,以掃當日起行回往西珥去了。 17 雅各就往疏割去,在那裡為自己蓋造房屋,又為牲畜搭棚,因此那地方名叫疏割[a]。
雅各往示劍
18 雅各從巴旦亞蘭回來的時候,平平安安地到了迦南地的示劍城,在城東支搭帳篷, 19 就用一百塊銀子向示劍的父親哈抹的子孫買了支帳篷的那塊地, 20 在那裡築了一座壇,起名叫伊利伊羅伊以色列[b]。

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]。

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]

King James Version
33 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
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 God hath graciously given thy servant.
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
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 lord.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob 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 God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 And he said unto him, My lord 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.
14 Let my lord, 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 lord unto Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
