8. Esau said, "What do you mean by all these animals I have met?" And Jacob said, "They are a gift so I may find favor in the eyes of my lord."
|
8. And he said H559 , What H4310 meanest thou by all H3605 this H2088 drove H4264 which H834 I met H6298 ? And he said H559 , These are to find H4672 grace H2580 in the sight H5869 of my lord H113 .

|
9. But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself."
|
9. And Esau H6215 said H559 , I have H3426 enough H7227 , my brother H251 ; keep H1961 that H834 thou hast unto thyself.
|
|
10. But Jacob said, "No, I ask of you, if I have found favor in your eyes, then receive my gift. For I see your face as one sees the face of God. You have received me with favor.
|
10. And Jacob H3290 said H559 , Nay H408 , I pray thee H4994 , if H518 now H4994 I have found H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight H5869 , then receive H3947 my present H4503 at my hand H4480 H3027 : for H3588 therefore H5921 H3651 I have seen H7200 thy face H6440 , as though I had seen H7200 the face H6440 of God H430 , and thou wast pleased H7521 with me.
|
|
11. Take my gift that has been brought to you. For God has shown loving-kindness to me, and I have all I need." So he begged him until he took it.
|
11. Take H3947 , I pray thee H4994 , H853 my blessing H1293 that H834 is brought H935 to thee; because H3588 God H430 hath dealt graciously H2603 with me , and because H3588 I have H3426 enough H3605 . And he urged H6484 him , and he took H3947 it .
|
|
12. Then Esau said, "Let us be on our way. I will go with you."
|
12. And he said H559 , Let us take our journey H5265 , and let us go H1980 , and I will go H1980 before H5048 thee.
|
|
13. But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are weak. And there are young ones in my flocks that need milk. If they are made to go a long way in one day, all the flocks will die.
|
13. And he said H559 unto H413 him , My lord H113 knoweth H3045 that H3588 the children H3206 are tender H7390 , and the flocks H6629 and herds H1241 with young H5763 are with H5921 me : and if men should overdrive H1849 them one H259 day H3117 , all H3605 the flock H6629 will die H4191 .
|
|
14. Let my lord go in front of his servant. And I will be slow in coming to my lord at Seir. I will go as fast as the cattle in front of me and as the children are able."
|
14. Let my lord H113 , I pray thee H4994 , pass over H5674 before H6440 his servant H5650 : and I H589 will lead on H5095 softly H328 , according as H7272 the cattle H4399 that H834 goeth before H6440 me and the children H3206 be able to endure H7272 , until H5704 H834 I come H935 unto H413 my lord H113 unto Seir H8165 .
|
|
15. So Esau said, "Let me leave with you some of the people who are with me." But Jacob said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord."
|
15. And Esau H6215 said H559 , Let me now H4994 leave H3322 with H5973 thee some of H4480 the folk H5971 that H834 are with H854 me . And he said H559 , What H4100 needeth it H2088 ? let me find H4672 grace H2580 in the sight H5869 of my lord H113 .

|
17. And Jacob H3290 journeyed H5265 to Succoth H5523 , and built H1129 him a house H1004 , and made H6213 booths H5521 for his cattle H4735 : therefore H5921 H3651 the name H8034 of the place H4725 is called H7121 Succoth H5523 .
