Jacob Meets Esau
33 Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two slave women. 2 He put the slaves and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last. 3 He himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground(A) seven times until he approached his brother.
4 But Esau ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. Then they wept.(B) 5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?”
He answered, “The children God has graciously given your servant.”(C) 6 Then the slaves and their children approached him and bowed down. 7 Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.
8 So Esau said, “What do you mean by this whole procession[a] I met?” (D)
“To find favor with you, my lord,”(E) he answered.
9 “I have enough, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what you have.”
10 But Jacob said, “No, please! If I have found favor with you, take this gift from me. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing God’s face, since you have accepted me. 11 Please take my present that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have everything I need.” So Jacob urged him until he accepted.
12 Then Esau said, “Let’s move on, and I’ll go ahead of you.”
13 Jacob replied, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and I have nursing flocks and herds. If they are driven hard for one day, the whole herd will die. 14 Let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a pace suited to the livestock and the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
15 Esau said, “Let me leave some of my people with you.”
But he replied, “Why do that? Please indulge me,[b] my lord.”(F)
16 That day Esau started on his way back to Seir, 17 but Jacob went to Succoth. He built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.[c](G)
18 After Jacob came from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely(H) at Shechem(I) in the land of Canaan and camped in front of the city. 19 He purchased a section of the field where he had pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.[d](J) 20 And he set up an altar there and called it God, the God of Israel.[e]

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]

雅各和以扫相见
33 雅各举目观看，看哪，以扫来了，有四百人和他一起。雅各就把孩子们分开交给利亚、拉结和两个婢女。 2 他叫两个婢女和她们的孩子走在前头，利亚和她的孩子跟在后面，而拉结和约瑟在最后。 3 他自己却走到他们前面，一连七次俯伏在地才挨近他哥哥。
4 以扫跑来迎接他，将他抱住，伏在他的颈项上亲他，他们都哭了。 5 以扫举目看见妇人和孩子，就说：“这些和你一起的是谁呢？”雅各说：“这些孩子是 神施恩给你仆人的。” 6 于是两个婢女和她们的孩子前来下拜， 7 利亚和她的孩子也前来下拜，随后约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。 8 以扫说：“我所遇见的这些畜群是什么意思呢？”雅各说：“是为了要在我主眼前蒙恩。” 9 以扫说：“弟弟啊，我的已经够了，你的你自己留着吧！” 10 雅各说：“不，我若在你眼前蒙恩，就请你从我手里收下这礼物；因为我见了你的面，如同见了 神的面，并且你也宽容了我。 11 请你收下我带来给你的礼物，因为 神恩待我，使我一切都充足。”雅各再三求他，他才收下。
12 以扫说：“让我们起身前行，我和你一起走吧。” 13 雅各对他说：“我主知道孩子们还年幼娇嫩，我的牛羊也正在哺乳中，只要催赶一天，群羊都会死了。 14 请我主在仆人前面先走，我要按着在我面前的牲畜和孩子的步伐慢慢前进，直走到西珥我主那里。” 15 以扫说：“让我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。”雅各说：“何必这样呢？只要能在我主眼前蒙恩就够了。” 16 于是，以扫当日起行，回西珥去了。 17 雅各就往疏割去，在那里为自己盖房屋，又为牲畜搭棚，因此那地方叫疏割[a]。
18 雅各从巴旦‧亚兰平安地回到迦南地的示剑城，他在城的前面支搭帐棚。 19 他用一百可锡塔[b]从示剑的父亲哈抹的众子手中买了搭帐棚的那块地。 20 雅各在那里筑了一座坛，起名叫伊利‧伊罗伊‧以色列[c]。
