Genesis 33:5-15

5And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559, Who are these with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 whom GodH430 hath graciously given thy servantH5650.

6Then the handmaids came near, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowedH7812 themselves.

7And LeahH3812 alsoH1571 and her childrenH3206 came near, and bowedH7812 themselves: and after came JosephH3130 near and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselves.

8And he saidH559, What meanest thou by all this company which I metH6298? And he saidH559, To findH4672 favorH2580 in the sight of my lordH113.

9And EsauH6215 saidH559, I have enoughH7227, my brotherH251; let that which thou hast beH1961 thine.

10And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, then receiveH3947 my present at my handH3027; forasmuch as I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as one seeth the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with me.

11TakeH3947, I pray thee, my gift that is broughtH935 to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he tookH3947 it.

12And he saidH559, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

13And he saidH559 unto him, My lordH113 knoweth that the childrenH3206 are tenderH7390, and that the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 with me have their youngH3206: and if they overdrive them oneH259 dayH3117, all the flocksH6629 will dieH4191.

14Let my lordH113, I pray thee, passH5674 over before his servantH5650: and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the childrenH3206, until I comeH935 unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165.

15And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he saidH559, What needeth it? let me findH4672 favorH2580 in the sight of my lordH113.
