And Ya'akov lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, hinei, Esav came, and with him arba me'ot ish (four hundred men). And he divided the yeladim unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two shefachot.
And he put the shefachot and their yeladim rishonah, and Leah and her yeladim acharonim, and Rachel and Yosef acharonim.
And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground sheva pe'amim, until he came near to achiv (his brother).
And Esav ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his tzavar (neck), and kissed him; and they wept.
And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the nashim and the yeladim; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The yeladim which Elohim hath graciously given thy eved.
Then the shefachot came near, they and their yeladim, and they bowed themselves.
And Leah also with her yeladim came near, and bowed themselves; and after came Yosef near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

And he said, What meanest thou by all this machaneh which I met? And he said, These are to find chen (grace) in the eyes of adoni.

And Esav said, I have enough, achi (my brother); keep that thou hast unto thyself.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר SDBH insisted יַעֲקֹ֗ב SDBH But Jacob אַל־ No נָא֙ please אִם־ SDBH If נָ֨א . . . מָצָ֤אתִי SDBH I have found חֵן֙ SDBH favor בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ SDBH in your sight וְלָקַחְתָּ֥ SDBH then receive מִנְחָתִ֖י SDBH this gift מִיָּדִ֑י SDBH from my hand כִּ֣י indeed עַל־ For כֵּ֞ן SDBH . . . רָאִ֣יתִי SDBH I have seen פָנֶ֗יךָ your face כִּרְאֹ֛ת SDBH and it is like seeing פְּנֵ֥י the face אֱלֹהִ֖ים SDBH of G-d וַתִּרְצֵֽנִי׃ SDBH since you have received me favorably
And Ya'akov said, No, now, if I have found chen (grace) in thy sight, then receive my minchah at my yad inasmuch as I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the p'nei Elohim (the face of G-d) vatirtzeini (and thou wast pleased to accept me, thou wast appeased by me).
11
קַח־ SDBH accept נָ֤א Please אֶת־ SDBH - בִּרְכָתִי֙ SDBH my gift אֲשֶׁ֣ר SDBH that הֻבָ֣את SDBH was brought לָ֔ךְ to you כִּֽי־ because חַנַּ֥נִי SDBH has been gracious אֱלֹהִ֖ים SDBH G-d וְכִ֣י . . . יֶשׁ־ and I have לִי־ to me כֹ֑ל all I need וַיִּפְצַר־ SDBH So Jacob pressed בּ֖וֹ him וַיִּקָּֽח׃ SDBH until he accepted
Accept, now, my bracha that is brought to thee; because Elohim hath dealt graciously with me, and because yesh li khol (there is to me all, my needs are met). And he urged him, and he accepted.
12
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר SDBH Then Esau said נִסְעָ֣ה SDBH Let us be on our way וְנֵלֵ֑כָה SDBH . . . וְאֵלְכָ֖ה SDBH and I will go לְנֶגְדֶּֽךָ׃ ahead of you
And he said, Nise'ah (let us take our journey), and let us go, I will go next to thee.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר SDBH But Jacob replied אֵלָ֗יו . . . אֲדֹנִ֤י SDBH My lord יֹדֵ֙עַ֙ SDBH knows כִּֽי־ that הַיְלָדִ֣ים SDBH the children רַכִּ֔ים SDBH are frail וְהַצֹּ֥אן SDBH sheep וְהַבָּקָ֖ר SDBH and cattle עָל֣וֹת SDBH that are nursing their young עָלָ֑י and I must care for וּדְפָקוּם֙ SDBH If they are driven hard י֣וֹם SDBH day אֶחָ֔ד SDBH for even a וָמֵ֖תוּ SDBH will die כָּל־ all הַצֹּֽאן׃ SDBH the animals
And he said unto him, Adoni knoweth that the yeladim are tender and the nursing tzon and bakar are upon me; and if men should overdrive them yom echad, all the tzon will die.
Let now adoni, pass over before his eved; and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the drove that goeth before me and the pace the yeladim are able to endure, until I come unto adoni at Seir.
And Esav said, Let me now leave with thee some of HaAm that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? Let me find chen in the sight of adoni.
So Esav returned that day on his derech unto Seir.

וְיַעֲקֹב֙ SDBH but Jacob נָסַ֣ע SDBH went on סֻכֹּ֔תָה SDBH to Succoth וַיִּ֥בֶן SDBH where he built ל֖וֹ for himself בָּ֑יִת SDBH a house וּלְמִקְנֵ֙הוּ֙ SDBH for his livestock עָשָׂ֣ה SDBH . . . סֻכֹּ֔ת SDBH and shelters עַל־ that is why כֵּ֛ן SDBH . . . קָרָ֥א SDBH was called שֵׁם־ SDBH . . . הַמָּק֖וֹם SDBH the place סֻכּֽוֹת׃ס SDBH Succoth
And Ya'akov journeyed to Sukkot, and built him a bais, and made sukkot for his mikneh; therefore the shem of the makom is called Sukkot.
And Ya'akov came shalem to Ir Shechem, which is in eretz Kena'an, when he came from Padan Aram; and encamped before the Ir.
And he bought a chelkat hasadeh (piece of land), where he had pitched there his ohel, from the yad Bnei Chamor Avi Shechem, for a hundred pieces of kesitah (money).
And he erected there a Mizbe'ach, and called it El Elohei Yisroel.
