Genesis 33:1

Jacob Meets Esau

33:1 Jacob looked up ¹  and saw that Esau was coming ²  along with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two female servants.

Genesis 33:14

33:14 Let my lord go on ahead of his servant. I will travel more slowly, at the pace of the herds and the children, ³  until I come to my lord at Seir.”

¹ tn Heb “and Jacob lifted up his eyes.”

² tn Or “and look, Esau was coming.” By the use of the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), the narrator invites the reader to view the scene through Jacob’s eyes.

³ tn Heb “and I, I will move along according to my leisure at the foot of the property which is before me and at the foot of the children.”
