Yaakov raised his eyes and saw that Eisov was coming, and with him there were four hundred men. He then divided the children among Leah, Rochel and the two handmaids [concubines].

He placed the handmaids [concubines] and their children foremost, Leah and her sons behind them, and Rochel and Yoseif in the rear.

He went ahead of them, and he prostrated himself to the earth seven times, until he approached his brother.

Eisov ran to meet him. He hugged him and fell on his neck and kissed him. They [both] wept.

[Eisov] raised his eyes and saw the women and children. He said, Who are these to you? He [Yaakov] said, These are the children whom God has graciously [compassionately] granted your servant.

The handmaids [concubines] [then] approached, they, and their children, and prostrated themselves.

Leah and her children also approached and prostrated themselves, and finally Yoseif and Rochel approached and prostrated themselves.

He [Eisov] said, What do you have to do with that whole camp that approached me? He [Yaakov] said, It was to find favor in the eyes of my master.

Eisov said, I have plenty. My brother, let what you have remain yours [be successful].

Yaakov said, Please, no. If I have found favor in your eyes [now], take [accept] my present from my hand, because I have seen your face [and it was] like seeing the face of a God[ly being] [great ones]; and you have received me favorably.

Please [Now] accept my blessing [present] as it was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me, for I have everything. He thus urged him and he took [accepted] it.

He [Eisov] said, Go and we will move on, and I will move on with you.

He [Yaakov] said to him, My master knows that the children are delicate, and that the sheep and cattle with me are nursing. If they are driven hard for [even] one day, all the sheep will die.

Please [Now] my master, go on ahead of your servant. I will lead on gently, in my slow pace, according to the pace of the work that is before me, and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my master in Seir.

Eisov said, Let me leave [now] with you some of the people that are with me. He [Yaakov] said, What for? Let me find favor in the eyes of my master.

On that day Eisov returned on his way—going to Seir.

Yaakov traveled to Sukkos and built himself a house, and for his livestock he made shelters. He therefore named the place Sukkos.

Yaakov arrived safely at the city of Shechem, which is in the Land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram. He encamped before the city.

He bought the part [possession] of the field where he had spread his tent, from the sons of Chamor, father of Shechem, for one hundred kesitahs [sheep].

He erected an altar there and called it [worshiped upon it before] the Almighty is [the] God of Yisrael.
