32 (30) And Ya῾aqov asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Why is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

(31) And Ya῾aqov called the name of the place Peni᾽el: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

(32) And as he passed over Penu᾽el the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.

(33) Therefore the children of Yisra᾽el eat not of the sinew of the vein, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Ya῾aqov’s thigh in the sinew of the vein.

33 (1) And Ya῾aqov lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, ῾Esav came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Le᾽a, and to Raĥel, and to the two handmaids.

(2) And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Le᾽a and her children after, and Raĥel and Yosef last of all.

(3) And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

(4) And ῾Esav ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.

(5) And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God has graciously given thy servant.

(6) Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.

(7) And Le᾽a also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Yosef near and Raĥel, and they bowed themselves.

(8) And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find favour in the sight of my lord.

(9) And ῾Esav said, I have enough, my brother; keep what thou hast to thyself.

(10) And Ya῾aqov said, By no means, if now I have found favour in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for truly I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of an angel, and thou wast pleased with me.

(11) Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.

(12) And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

(13) And he said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds giving suck are a care for me: and if they should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.

(14) Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle that goes before me and the children, until I come to my lord to Se῾ir.

(15) And ῾Esav said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What need is there? let me find favour in the sight of my lord.

(16) So ῾Esav returned that day on his way to Se῾ir.

(17) And Ya῾aqov journeyed to Sukkot, and built him a house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Sukkot.

(18) And Ya῾aqov came to Shalem, a city of Shekhem, which is in the land of Kena῾an, when he came from Paddan-aram; and pitched his tent before the city.

(19) And he bought the piece of land on which he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Ḥamor, Shekhem’s father, for a hundred pieces of money.

(20) And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-yisra᾽el.

34 (1) And Dina the daughter of Le᾽a, whom she bore to Ya῾aqov, went out to see the daughters of the land.

(2) And when Shekhem the son of Ḥamor the Ḥivvite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
