First Prayer
Before entering the trial, one should read Parashat Vayishlach until "the name of the place Sukkoth":
Below is a quote from Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's translation of the Torah from Genesis 32:4 - Genesis 33:17
32:4
Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau, to Edom's Field in the Seir area.
32:5
He instructed them to deliver the following message:
'To my lord Esau. Your humble servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban, and have delayed my return until now.
32:6
I have acquired cattle, donkeys, sheep, slaves and slave-girls, and am now sending word to tell my lord, to gain favor in your eyes.'
32:7
The messengers returned to Jacob with the report: 'We came to your brother Esau, and he is also heading toward you. He has 400 men with him.'
32:8
Jacob was very frightened and distressed. He divided the people accompanying him into two camps, along with the sheep, cattle and camels.
32:9
He said, 'If Esau comes and attacks one camp, at least the other camp will survive.'
32:10
Jacob prayed: 'O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac. You Yourself told me, 'Return to the land where you were born, and I will make things go well with you.'
32:11
I am unworthy of all the kindness and faith that You have shown me. [When I left home,] I crossed the Jordan with [only] my staff, and now I have enough for two camps.
32:12
Rescue me, I pray, from the hand of my brother - from the hand of Esau. I am afraid of him, for he can come and kill us all - mothers and children alike.
32:13
You once said, 'I will make things go well with you, and make your descendants like the sand grains of the sea, which are too numerous to count.' '
32:14
After spending the night there, he selected a tribute for his brother Esau from what he had with him.
32:15
[The tribute consisted of] 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
32:16
30 nursing camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
32:17
These he gave to his servants, each herd by itself. He said to his servants, 'Go on ahead of me. Keep a space between one herd and the next.'
32:18
He gave the first group instructions: 'When my brother Esau encounters you, he will ask, 'To whom do you belong? Where are you going? Who owns all this that is with you?'
32:19
You must reply, 'It belongs to your servant Jacob. It is a tribute to my master Esau. [Jacob] himself is right behind us.' '
32:20
He gave similar instructions to the second group, to the third, and to all who went after the herd. 'You must [all] say the same thing to Esau when you meet him,' he said.
32:21
'You must also say, 'Your servant Jacob is right behind us.' '
[Jacob] said [to himself], 'I will win him over with the gifts that are being sent ahead, and then I will face him. Hopefully, he will forgive me.'
32:22
He sent the gifts ahead of him, and spent the night in the camp.
32:23
In the middle of the night he got up, and took his two wives, his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and sent them across the Jabbok River shallows.
32:24
After he had taken them and sent them across, he also sent across all his possessions.
32:25
Jacob remained alone. A stranger [appeared and] wrestled with him until just before daybreak.
32:26
When [the stranger] saw that he could not defeat him, he touched the upper joint of [Jacob's] thigh. Jacob's hip joint became dislocated as he wrestled with [the stranger].
32:27
'Let me leave!' said [the stranger]. 'Dawn is breaking.'
'I will not let you leave unless you bless me.'
32:28
'What is your name?'
'Jacob.'
32:29
'Your name will no longer be said to be Jacob, but Israel (Yisra'el). You have become great (sar) before God and man. You have won.'
32:30
Jacob returned the question. 'If you would,' he said, 'tell me what your name is.'
'Why do you ask my name?' replied [the stranger]. He then blessed [Jacob].
32:31
Jacob named the place Divine Face (Peniel). [He said,] 'I have seen the Divine face to face, and my soul has withstood it.'
32:32
The sun rose and was shining on him as he left Penuel. He was limping because of his thigh.
32:33
The Israelites therefore do not eat the displaced nerve on the hip joint to this very day. This is because [the stranger] touched Jacob's thigh on the displaced nerve.
33:1
Jacob looked up and saw Esau approaching with 400 men. He divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two handmaids.
33:2
He placed the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and their sons behind them, and Rachel and Joseph to the rear.
33:3
[Jacob] then went ahead of them, and he prostrated himself seven times as he approached his brother.
33:4
Esau ran to meet them. He hugged [Jacob], and throwing himself on his shoulders, kissed him. They [both] wept.
33:5
Esau looked up and saw the women and children. 'Who are these to you?' he asked.
'They are the children whom God has been kind enough to grant me,' replied [Jacob].
33:6
The handmaids approached along with their children, and [the women] bowed down.
33:7
Leah and her children also approached and bowed down. Finally, Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed down.
33:8
'What did you have to do with that whole camp that came to greet me?' asked [Esau].
'It was to gain favor in your eyes,' replied [Jacob].
33:9
'I have plenty, my brother,' said Esau. 'Let what is yours remain yours.'
33:10
'Please! No!' said Jacob. 'If I have gained favor with you, please accept this gift from me. After all, seeing your face is like seeing the face of the Divine, you have received me so favorably.
33:11
Please accept my welcoming gift as it has been brought to you. God has been kind to me, and I have all [I need].' [Jacob thus] urged him, and [Esau finally] took it.
33:12
'Let's get going and move on,' said [Esau]. 'I will travel alongside you.'
33:13
'My lord,' replied Jacob, 'you know that the children are weak, and I have responsibility for the nursing sheep and cattle. If they are driven hard for even one day, all the sheep will die.
33:14
Please go ahead of me, my lord. I will lead my group slowly, following the pace of the work that I have ahead of me, and the pace of the children. I will eventually come to [you], my lord, in Seir.'
33:15
'Let me put some of my people at your disposal,' said Esau.
'What for?' replied Jacob. 'Just let me remain on friendly terms with you.'
33:16
On that day, Esau returned along the way to Seir.
33:17
Jacob went to Sukkoth. There, he built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. He therefore named the place Sukkoth (Shelters).
