BERESHITH (GENESIS) 33

Gen 33:1 And Ya‛aqoḇ lifted his eyes and looked and saw Ĕsaw coming,
and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children among Lĕ’ah,
and Raḥĕl, and the two female servants.
Gen 33:2 And he put the female servants and their children in front, and
Lĕ’ah and her children behind, and Raḥĕl and Yosĕph last.
Gen 33:3 And he himself passed over before them and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Gen 33:4 And Ĕsaw ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck
and kissed him, and they wept.
Gen 33:5 And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said,
“Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children with whom Elohim
has favoured your servant.”
Gen 33:6 Then the female servants came near, they and their children, and
bowed themselves.
Gen 33:7 And Lĕ’ah also came near with her children, and they bowed
themselves. And Yosĕph and Raḥĕl came near, and they bowed themselves.
Gen 33:8 Then Ĕsaw said, “What do you mean by all this company which I
met?” And he said, “To find favour in the eyes of my master.”
Gen 33:9 But Ĕsaw said, “I have enough, my brother, let what you have
remain yours.”
Gen 33:10 And Ya‛aqoḇ said, “No, please, if I have now found favour in
your eyes, then receive my present from my hand, because I have seen your
face like seeing the face of Elohim, and you were pleased with me.
Gen 33:11 “Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because Elohim
has favoured me, and because I have all I need.” And he urged him, and he
took it.
Gen 33:12 And he said, “Let us depart and go, and let me go before you.”
Gen 33:13 But he said to him, “My master knows that the children are weak,
and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men
should drive them hard one day, all the flocks shall die.
Gen 33:14 “Please let my master go before his servant, and let me lead on
slowly according to the pace of the livestock that go before me, and
according to the pace of the children, until I come to my master in Sĕ‛ir.”
Gen 33:15 And Ĕsaw said, “Please let me leave with you some of the
people who are with me.” But he said, “Why this? Let me find favour in the
eyes of my master.”
Gen 33:16 And Ĕsaw returned that day on his way to Sĕ‛ir.
Gen 33:17 And Ya‛aqoḇ set out to Sukkoth, and built himself a house, and
made booths for his livestock. That is why the name of the place is called
Sukkoth.
Gen 33:18 And Ya‛aqoḇ came safely to the city of Sheḵem, which is in the
land of Kena‛an, when he came from Paddan Aram. And he pitched his tent
before the city.
Gen 33:19 And he bought the portion of the field where he had pitched his
tent, from the children of Ḥamor, Sheḵem’s father, for one hundred qesitah.
Gen 33:20 And he set up an altar there and called it Ĕl Elohĕ Yisra’ĕl.
