And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.

לְדַרְכּ֑וֹ (לְ) le. “to”

Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;

לְפָנָ֔יו (לְ) le. “<to>”

And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:

לֵאמֹ֔ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”לַֽאדֹנִ֖י (לַֽ) la. “to”לְעֵשָׂ֑ו (לְ) le. “to”

And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.

לִי֙ (לִ) l “to <the>”לְהַגִּ֣יד (לְ) le. “to”לַֽאדֹנִ֔י (לַֽ) la. “to”לִמְצֹא־ (לִ) li “to”

When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.

לֵאמֹ֑ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”לִקְרָֽאתְךָ֔ (לִ) li “to”

Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;

ל֑וֹ (ל֑) l “to <the>”לִשְׁנֵ֥י (לִ) li “into”

And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.

לִפְלֵיטָֽה׃ (לִ) li “<into>”

Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:

לְאַרְצְךָ֛ (לְ) le. “to”וּלְמוֹלַדְתְּךָ֖ (לְ) le. “to”

I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.

לִשְׁנֵ֥י (לִ) li “<into>”

Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,

לְעֵשָׂ֥ו (לְ) le. “for”

These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.

לְבַדּ֑וֹ (לְ) le. “to”לְפָנַ֔י (לְ) le. “<to>”

And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?

לֵאמֹ֑ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”לֵאמֹ֔ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”לְמִי־ (לְ) le. “[belong] to”וּלְמִ֖י (לְ) le. “[belong] to”לְפָנֶֽיךָ׃ (לְ) le. “<to>”

Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.

לְעַבְדְּךָ֣ (לְ) le. “to”לְיַעֲקֹ֔ב (לְ) le. “to”לַֽאדֹנִ֖י (לַֽ) la. “to”לְעֵשָׂ֑ו (לְ) le. “to”

And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;

לֵאמֹ֑ר (לֵ) le. “<to>”

And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.

לְפָנָ֔י (לְ) le. “<to>”

He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.

לוֹ׃ (ל) lo “[belonged] to <the>”

Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.

לְבַדּ֑וֹ (לְ) le. “to”

But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.

ל֔וֹ (ל֔) l “to <the>”

Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.

לָ֥מָּה (לָ֥) La. “<to>”לִשְׁמִ֑י (לִ) li “to”

And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.

ל֣וֹ (ל֣) l “to <the>”

And he himself, going before them, went down on his face to the earth seven times till he came near his brother.

לִפְנֵיהֶ֑ם (לִ) li “<to>”

Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.

לִקְרָאתוֹ֙ (לִ) li “to”

Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to your servant.

לָּ֑ךְ (לָּ֑) La “to <the>”

And he said, What were all those herds which I saw on the way? And Jacob said, They were an offering so that I might have grace in my lord's eyes.

לְךָ֛ (לְ) le. “to <the>”לִמְצֹא־ (לִ) li “to”

But Esau said, I have enough; keep what is yours, my brother, for yourself.

לִ֣י (לִ֣) l “[belongs] to <the>”לְךָ֖ (לְ) le. “to <the>”לָֽךְ׃ (לָֽ) La “[belongs] to <the>”
