- 1And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.וַיִּשָּׂ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙ וְהִנֵּ֣ה עֵשָׂ֣ו בָּ֔א וְעִמּ֕וֹ אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ וַיַּ֣חַץ אֶת הַיְלָדִ֗ים עַל לֵאָה֙ וְעַל רָחֵ֔ל וְעַ֖ל שְׁתֵּ֥י הַשְּׁפָחֽוֹת
- 2And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.וַיָּ֧שֶׂם אֶת הַשְּׁפָח֛וֹת וְאֶת יַלְדֵיהֶ֖ן רִֽאשֹׁנָ֑ה וְאֶת לֵאָ֤ה וִֽילָדֶ֨יהָ֙ אַחֲרֹנִ֔ים וְאֶת רָחֵ֥ל וְאֶת יוֹסֵ֖ף אַחֲרֹנִֽים
- 3And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.וְה֖וּא עָבַ֣ר לִפְנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיִּשְׁתַּ֤חוּ אַ֨רְצָה֙ שֶׁ֣בַע פְּעָמִ֔ים עַד גִּשְׁתּ֖וֹ עַד אָחִֽיו
- 4And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.וַיָּ֨רָץ עֵשָׂ֤ו לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ וַֽיְחַבְּקֵ֔הוּ וַיִּפֹּ֥ל עַל צַוָּארָ֖ו וַׄיִּׄשָּׁׄקֵ֑ׄהׄוּׄ וַיִּבְכּֽוּ
- 5And 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 hath graciously given thy servant.וַיִּשָּׂ֣א אֶת עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּ֤רְא אֶת הַנָּשִׁים֙ וְאֶת הַיְלָדִ֔ים וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מִי אֵ֣לֶּה וַיֹּאמַ֕ר הַיְלָדִ֕ים אֲשֶׁר חָנַ֥ן אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת עַבְדֶּֽךָ
- 6Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.וַתִּגַּ֧שְׁןָ הַשְּׁפָח֛וֹת הֵ֥נָּה וְיַלְדֵיהֶ֖ן וַתִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶֽיןָ
- 7And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.וַתִּגַּ֧שׁ גַּם לֵאָ֛ה וִילָדֶ֖יהָ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲו֑וּ וְאַחַ֗ר נִגַּ֥שׁ יוֹסֵ֛ף וְרָחֵ֖ל וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֽוּ
- 8And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מִ֥י כָּל הַמַּחֲנֶ֥ה הַזֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּגָ֑שְׁתִּי וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לִמְצֹא חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי
- 9And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.וַיֹּ֥אמֶר עֵשָׂ֖ו יֶשׁ רָ֑ב אָחִ֕י יְהִ֥י אֲשֶׁר
- 10And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֗ב אַל נָא֙ אִם נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ וְלָקַחְתָּ֥ מִנְחָתִ֖י מִיָּדִ֑י כִּ֣י עַל כֵּ֞ן רָאִ֣יתִי פָנֶ֗יךָ כִּרְאֹ֛ת פְּנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים וַתִּרְצֵֽנִי
- 11Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.קַח נָ֤א אֶת בִּרְכָתִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֻבָ֣את כִּֽי חַנַּ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים וְכִ֣י יֶשׁ כֹ֑ל וַיִּפְצַר וַיִּקָּֽח
- 12And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.וַיֹּ֖אמֶר נִסְעָ֣ה וְנֵלֵ֑כָה וְאֵלְכָ֖ה לְנֶגְדֶּֽךָ
- 13And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֗יו אֲדֹנִ֤י יֹדֵ֨עַ֙ כִּֽי הַיְלָדִ֣ים רַכִּ֔ים וְהַצֹּ֥אן וְהַבָּקָ֖ר עָל֣וֹת עָלָ֑י וּדְפָקוּם֙ י֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד וָמֵ֖תוּ כָּל הַצֹּֽאן
- 14Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.יַעֲבָר נָ֥א אֲדֹנִ֖י לִפְנֵ֣י עַבְדּ֑וֹ וַאֲנִ֞י אֶֽתְנָהֲלָ֣ה לְאִטִּ֗י לְרֶ֨גֶל הַמְּלָאכָ֤ה אֲשֶׁר לְפָנַי֙ וּלְרֶ֣גֶל הַיְלָדִ֔ים עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁר אָבֹ֥א אֶל אֲדֹנִ֖י שֵׂעִֽירָה
- 15And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר עֵשָׂ֔ו אַצִּֽיגָה נָּ֣א עִמְּךָ֔ מִן הָעָ֖ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתִּ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ לָ֣מָּה זֶּ֔ה אֶמְצָא חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי
- 16So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.וַיָּשָׁב֩ בַּיּ֨וֹם הַה֥וּא עֵשָׂ֛ו לְדַרְכּ֖וֹ שֵׂעִֽירָה
- 17And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.וְיַעֲקֹב֙ נָסַ֣ע סֻכֹּ֔תָה וַיִּ֥בֶן בָּ֑יִת וּלְמִקְנֵ֨הוּ֙ עָשָׂ֣ה סֻכֹּ֔ת עַל כֵּ֛ן קָרָ֥א שֵׁם הַמָּק֖וֹם סֻכּֽוֹת
- 18And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.וַיָּבֹא֩ יַעֲקֹ֨ב שָׁלֵ֜ם עִ֣יר שְׁכֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן בְּבֹא֖וֹ אֲרָ֑ם וַיִּ֖חַן אֶת פְּנֵ֥י הָעִֽיר
- 19And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.וַיִּ֜קֶן אֶת חֶלְקַ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָֽטָה שָׁם֙ אָהֳל֔וֹ מִיַּ֥ד בְּנֵֽי חֲמ֖וֹר אֲבִ֣י שְׁכֶ֑ם בְּמֵאָ֖ה קְשִׂיטָֽה
- 20And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel.וַיַּצֶּב שָׁ֖ם מִזְבֵּ֑חַ וַיִּ֨קְרָא אֵ֖ל אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

Genesis 33 original-language research
The Hebrew lines shown beneath the KJV text come from the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) data in YHWSA. The chapter vocabulary below is ranked from verse-level Strong's tagging; grammatical particles are omitted so meaningful terms remain visible.
to say (used with great latitude)
something born, i.e., a lad or offspring
the face (as the part that turns); used in a great variety of applications (literally and figuratively); also (with prepositional prefix) as a preposition (before, etc.)
sovereign, i.e., controller (human or divine)
'I pray', 'now', or 'then'; added mostly to verbs (in the Imperative or Future), or to interjections, occasionally to an adverb or conjunction
an eye (literally or figuratively); by analogy, a fountain (as the eye of the landscape)
Esav, a son of Isaac, including his posterity
to go or come (in a wide variety of applications)
Jaakob, the Israelitish patriarch
(by implication) very widely used as a relative conjunction or adverb (as below); often largely modified by other particles annexed
Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
