pass_on now my=master/master to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before servant,his

See how you translated Jacob’s use of my lord (in verse 8) and servant (in verse 5) to show respect and deference to Esau. Here he uses both terms for emphasis.

וַ⁠אֲנִ֞י אֶֽתְנָהֲלָ֣ה לְ⁠אִטִּ֗⁠י לְ⁠רֶ֨גֶל הַ⁠מְּלָאכָ֤ה אֲשֶׁר לְ⁠פָנַ⁠י֙ וּ⁠לְ⁠רֶ֣גֶל הַ⁠יְלָדִ֔ים

and,I move_along on,slowly,my at,pace the,livestock which/who to/for=my=face/front and,according_to,pace the=youths

Alternate translation: “Then I will travel along slowly at a speed that is good for the livestock and children that are with me,”

עַ֛ד אֲשֶׁר אָבֹ֥א אֶל אֲדֹנִ֖⁠י

until which/who come to/towards my=master/master

Alternate translation: “until we reach you, sir,” or “We will catch up to you later, sir,”

שֵׂעִֽירָ⁠ה

Seir,in

See how you translated “the land of Seir” in Gen 32:3. The land of Seir was a mountainous region southeast of the land of Canaan (and the Dead Sea) and was where Esau had settled. It was also called “Edom” (Gen 32:3), which was Esau’s nickname (Gen 25:30). You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “in the land of Seir.”
