Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וַ⁠יָּ֨רָץ עֵשָׂ֤ו לִ⁠קְרָאת⁠וֹ֙ וַֽ⁠יְחַבְּקֵ֔⁠הוּ

and,ran ˊĒsāv to,meet,him and,embraced,him

This sentence shows a contrast between what Jacob was expecting and what actually happened.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּפֹּ֥ל עַל צַוָּארָ֖⁠ו וַׄ⁠יִּׄשָּׁׄקֵ֑ׄ⁠הׄוּׄ

and,fell on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in neck,his and,kissed,him

See how you translated “hugged him … and kissed him on the cheek/cheeks” in Gen 29:13. Make sure that the way you translate fell on his neck does not imply that Esau accidentally fell. Rather, this is an idiom that means he embraced Jacob warmly, with much emotion. Alternate translation: “and he threw his arms around his shoulders and kissed him,” or “He held Jacob tightly and kissed him on the cheek”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

וַ⁠יִּבְכּֽוּ

and,wept

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Also, some languages have a dual pronoun for they that could be used here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and they both cried for joy.” or “Both of them cried because they were so happy to see each other again.”
