并且你们要说,你仆人雅各在我们后边。因雅各心里说,我藉着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨,然后再见他的面,或者他容纳我。
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
于是礼物先过去了。那夜,雅各在队中住宿。
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
故此,以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋,直到今日,因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋。

并且叫两个使女和她们的孩子在前头,利亚和她的孩子在后头,拉结和约瑟在尽后头。

利亚和她的孩子也前来下拜。随后约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。
And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
以扫说,容我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。雅各说,何必呢,只要在我主眼前蒙恩就是了。

于是,以扫当日起行,回往西珥去了。
So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.

雅各听见示剑玷污了他的女儿底拿。那时他的儿子们正和群畜在田野,雅各就闭口不言,等他们回来。
