Genesis 33:7 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming with his 400 men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and his two servant wives.
2 He put the servant wives and their children at the front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 Then Jacob went on ahead. As he approached his brother, he bowed to the ground seven times before him.
4 Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.
5 Then Esau looked at the women and children and asked, "Who are these people with you?" "These are the children God has graciously given to me, your servant," Jacob replied.
6 Then the servant wives came forward with their children and bowed before him.
7 Next came Leah with her children, and they bowed before him. Finally, Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed before him.
8 "And what were all the flocks and herds I met as I came?" Esau asked.Jacob replied, "They are a gift, my lord, to ensure your friendship."
9 "My brother, I have plenty," Esau answered. "Keep what you have for yourself."
10 But Jacob insisted, "No, if I have found favor with you, please accept this gift from me. And what a relief to see your friendly smile. It is like seeing the face of God!
11 Please take this gift I have brought you, for God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough." And because Jacob insisted, Esau finally accepted the gift.
12 "Well," Esau said, "let's be going. I will lead the way."
13 But Jacob replied, "You can see, my lord, that some of the children are very young, and the flocks and herds have their young, too. If they are driven too hard, even for one day, all the animals could die.
14 Please, my lord, go ahead of your servant. We will follow slowly, at a pace that is comfortable for the livestock and the children. I will meet you at Seir."
15 "All right," Esau said, "but at least let me assign some of my men to guide and protect you." Jacob responded, "That's not necessary. It's enough that you've received me warmly, my lord!"
16 So Esau turned around and started back to Seir that same day.
17 Jacob, on the other hand, traveled on to Succoth. There he built himself a house and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place was named Succoth (which means "shelters").
18 Later, having traveled all the way from Paddan-aram, Jacob arrived safely at the town of Shechem, in the land of Canaan. There he set up camp outside the town.
19 Jacob bought the plot of land where he camped from the family of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of silver.
20 And there he built an altar and named it El-Elohe-Israel.

12 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let us take our journey H5265 , and let us go H1980 , and I will go H1980 before H5048 thee .
13 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , My lord H113 knoweth H3045 VQPMS that H3588 CONJ the children H3206 are tender H7390 , and the flocks H6629 WD-NMS and herds H1241 with young H5763 are with H5921 me : and if men should overdrive H1849 them one H259 MMS day H3117 NMS , all H3605 NMS the flock H6629 will die H4191 .
