The Scriptures 1998

Genesis 33:9-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

9. But Ěsaw said, “I have enough, my brother, let what you have remain yours.”

10. And Ya‛aqoḇ said, “No, please, if I have now found favour in your eyes, then receive my present from my hand, because I have seen your face like seeing the face of Elohim, and you were pleased with me.

11. “Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because Elohim has favoured me, and because I have all I need.” And he urged him, and he took it.

12. And he said, “Let us depart and go, and let me go before you.”

13. But he said to him, “My master knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flocks shall die.

14. “Please let my master go before his servant, and let me lead on slowly according to the pace of the livestock that go before me, and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my master in Sĕ‛ir.”

15. And Ěsaw said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “Why this? Let me find favour in the eyes of my master.”

16. And Ěsaw returned that day on his way to Sĕ‛ir.
