Genesis 33:3-11
3But Jacob himselfH1931 went onH5674 aheadH6440 and bowedH7812 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471 asH5704 he approachedH5066H5704 his brotherH251.
4Esau, howeverH6215H7122, ran to himH7323 and embraced himH2263, threw his arms aroundH5307H5921 his neckH6677, and kissed himH5401. And they both weptH1058.
5When Esau looked upH5375 and sawH7200 the womenH802 and childrenH3206, he askedH559, “WhoH4310 are theseH428 with you?”
Jacob answeredH559, “These are the childrenH3206 GodH430 has graciously givenH2603 your servantH5650.” 6Then the maidservantsH8198 and theirH2007 childrenH3206 approachedH5066 and bowed downH7812. 7LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 alsoH1571 approachedH5066 and bowed downH7812, and thenH310 JosephH3130 and RachelH7354 approachedH5066 and bowed downH7812.
8“WhatH4310 do you mean by sending thisH2088 wholeH3605 companyH4264 to meet meH6298?” asked EsauH559.
“To findH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, my lordH113,” Jacob answeredH559.
9“I already haveH3426 plentyH7227, my brotherH251,” EsauH6215 repliedH559. “KeepH1961 what belongsH834 to you.”
10But JacobH3290 insistedH559, “NoH408, pleaseH4994! IfH518H4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, then receiveH3947 this giftH4503 from my handH3027. ForH5921H3651 indeedH3588, I have seenH7200 your faceH6440, and it is like seeingH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, since you have received me favorablyH7521. 11PleaseH4994 acceptH3947 my giftH12931 thatH834 was broughtH935 to you, becauseH3588 GodH430H3588 has been graciousH2603 to me and I haveH3426 all I needH3605.” So Jacob pressedH6484 him until he acceptedH3947.
