Genesis 33 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Gen 33:1Ya`akov lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esav was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Le'ah, Rachel, and to the two handmaids.
Gen 33:2He put the handmaids and their children in front, Le'ah and her children after, and Rachel and Yosef at the rear.
Gen 33:3He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Gen 33:4Esav ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
Gen 33:5He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
Gen 33:6Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
Gen 33:7Le'ah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Yosef came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Gen 33:8Esav said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Ya`akov said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."
Gen 33:9Esav said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours."
Gen 33:10Ya`akov said, "Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Gen 33:11Please take the gift that I brought to you; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." He urged him, and he took it.
Gen 33:12Esav said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you."
Gen 33:13Ya`akov said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
Gen 33:14Please let my lord pass over before his servant: and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Se`ir."
Gen 33:15Esav said, "Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me." He said, "Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."
Gen 33:16So Esav returned that day on his way to Se`ir.
Gen 33:17Ya`akov traveled to Sukkot, built himself a house, and made shelters for his cattle. Therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot.
