| 32 1 | Jacob went on his way and the angels of God met him; | JACOB prepares to meet Esau. Gn.32.1-21 | וְיַעֲקֹב הָלַךְ לְדַרְכֹּו וַיִּפְגְּעוּ־בֹו מַלְאֲכֵי אֱלֹהִים׃ |
|
| 2 | and when Jacob saw them he said, "This is God's army!" So he called the name of that place Mahanaim. | | וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאָם מַחֲנֵה אֱלֹהִים זֶה וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם־הַמָּקֹום הַהוּא מַחֲנָיִם׃ ף |
|
| 3 | And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom, | | וַיִּשְׁלַח יַעֲקֹב מַלְאָכִים לְפָנָיו אֶל־עֵשָׂו אָחִיו אַרְצָה שֵׂעִיר שְׂדֵה אֱדֹום׃ |
|
| 4 | instructing them, "Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: Thus says your servant Jacob, 'I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now; | | וַיְצַו אֹתָם לֵאמֹר כֹּה תֹאמְרוּן לַאדֹנִי לְעֵשָׂו כֹּה אָמַר עַבְדְּכָ יַעֲקֹב עִם־לָבָן גַּרְתִּי וָאֵחַר עַד־עָתָּה׃ |
|
| 5 | and I have oxen, asses, flocks, menservants, and maidservants; and I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favour in your sight.' " | | וַיְהִי־לִי שֹׁור וַחֲמֹור צֹאן וְעֶבֶד וְשִׁפְחָה וָאֶשְׁלְחָה לְהַגִּיד לַאדֹנִי לִמְצֹא־חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ׃ |
|
| 6 | And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him." | | וַיָּשֻׁבוּ הַמַּלְאָכִים אֶל־יַעֲקֹב לֵאמֹר בָּאנוּ אֶל־אָחִיךָ אֶל־עֵשָׂו וְגַם הֹלֵךְ לִקְרָאתְךָ וְאַרְבַּע־מֵאֹות אִישׁ עִמֹּו׃ |
|
| 7 | Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies, | | וַיִּירָא יַעֲקֹב מְאֹד וַיֵּצֶר לֹו וַיַּחַץ אֶת־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר־אִתֹּו וְאֶת־הַצֹּאן וְאֶת־הַבָּקָר וְהַגְּמַלִּים לִשְׁנֵי מַחֲנֹות׃ |
|
| 8 | thinking, "If Esau comes to the one company and destroys it, then the company which is left will escape." | | וַיֹּאמֶר אִם־יָבֹוא עֵשָׂו אֶל־הַמַּחֲנֶה הָאַחַת וְהִכָּהוּ וְהָיָה הַמַּחֲנֶה הַנִּשְׁאָר לִפְלֵיטָה׃ |
|
| 9 | And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Yahweh who said to me, 'Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will do you good,' | | וַיֹּאמֶר יַעֲקֹב אֱלֹהֵי אָבִי אַבְרָהָם וֵאלֹהֵי אָבִי יִצְחָק יְהוָה הָאֹמֵר אֵלַי שׁוּב לְאַרְצְךָ וּלְמֹולַדְתְּךָ וְאֵיטִיבָה עִמָּךְ׃ |
|
| 10 | I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies. | | קָטֹנְתִּי מִכֹּל הַחֲסָדִים וּמִכָּל־הָאֱמֶת אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי בְמַקְלִי עָבַרְתִּי אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן הַזֶּה וְעַתָּה הָיִיתִי לִשְׁנֵי מַחֲנֹות׃ |
|
| 11 | Deliver me please, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and slay us all, the mothers with the children. | | הַצִּילֵנִי נָא מִיַּד אָחִי מִיַּד עֵשָׂו כִּי־יָרֵא אָנֹכִי אֹתֹו פֶּן־יָבֹוא וְהִכַּנִי אֵם עַל־בָּנִים׃ |
|
| 12 | But you said, 'I will do you good, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.' " | | וְאַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ הֵיטֵב אֵיטִיב עִמָּךְ וְשַׂמְתִּי אֶת־זַרְעֲךָ כְּחֹול הַיָּם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִסָּפֵר מֵרֹב׃ |
|
| 13 | So he lodged there that night, and took from what he had with him a present for his brother Esau, | | וַיָּלֶן שָׁם בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַיִּקַּח מִן־הַבָּא בְיָדֹו מִנְחָה לְעֵשָׂו אָחִיו׃ |
|
| 14 | two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, | | עִזִּים מָאתַיִם וּתְיָשִׁים עֶשְׂרִים רְחֵלִים מָאתַיִם וְאֵילִים עֶשְׂרִים׃ |
|
| 15 | thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten he-asses. | | גְּמַלִּים מֵינִיקֹות וּבְנֵיהֶם שְׁלֹשִׁים פָּרֹות אַרְבָּעִים וּפָרִים עֲשָׂרָה אֲתֹנֹת עֶשְׂרִים וַעְיָרִם עֲשָׂרָה׃ |
|
| 16 | These he delivered into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between drove and drove." | | וַיִּתֵּן בְּיַד־עֲבָדָיו עֵדֶר עֵדֶר לְבַדֹּו וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־עֲבָדָיו עִבְרוּ לְפָנַי וְרֶוַח תָּשִׂימוּ בֵּין עֵדֶר וּבֵין עֵדֶר׃ |
|
| 17 | He instructed the foremost, "When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these before you? | | וַיְצַו אֶת־הָרִאשֹׁון לֵאמֹר כִּי יִפְגָּשְׁךָ עֵשָׂו אָחִי וִשְׁאֵלְךָ לֵאמֹר לְמִי־אַתָּה וְאָנָה תֵלֵךְ וּלְמִי אֵלֶּה לְפָנֶיךָ׃ |
|
| 18 | then you shall say, 'They belong to your servant Jacob; they are a present sent to my lord Esau; and moreover he is behind us.' " | | וְאָמַרְתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ לְיַעֲקֹב מִנְחָה הִוא שְׁלוּחָה לַאדֹנִי לְעֵשָׂו וְהִנֵּה גַם־הוּא אַחֲרֵינוּ׃ |
|
| 19 | He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, "You shall say the same thing to Esau when you meet him, | | וַיְצַו גַּם אֶת־הַשֵּׁנִי גַּם אֶת־הַשְּׁלִישִׁי גַּם אֶת־כָּל־הַהֹלְכִים אַחֲרֵי הָעֲדָרִים לֵאמֹר כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה תְּדַבְּרוּן אֶל־עֵשָׂו בְּמֹצַאֲכֶם אֹתֹו׃ |
|
| 20 | and you shall say, 'Moreover your servant Jacob is behind us.' " For he thought, "I may appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterwards I shall see his face; perhaps he will accept me." | | וַאֲמַרְתֶּם גַּם הִנֵּה עַבְדְּךָ יַעֲקֹב אַחֲרֵינוּ כִּי־אָמַר אֲכַפְּרָה פָנָיו בַּמִּנְחָה הַהֹלֶכֶת לְפָנָי וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן אֶרְאֶה פָנָיו אוּלַי יִשָּׂא פָנָי׃ |
|
| 21 | So the present passed on before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp. | | וַתַּעֲבֹר הַמִּנְחָה עַל־פָּנָיו וְהוּא לָן בַּלַּיְלָה־הַהוּא בַּמַּחֲנֶה׃ |
